eAgent™: The Evolution of Real Estate™

The eAgent™ Concept

Hello! We are Justin and Darlene Allen and we want to personally thank you for taking the time to visit our About page and get to know us better! We hope that you find this information useful and inspiring. We know that your time is valuable, so without further ado, let’s get down to the meat and potatoes and start talking about “the elephant in the room!”

The Evolution of Real Estate™ is the official meaning behind our brand, eAgent™. Our industry has evolved much faster over the past 5 years than it has over the last 50 years. eAgent™ is a company made up of of forward thinking people who want to take chances and get out of their comfort zone to create a better experience for the public at large, the agents they rely on and the vendors who provide a vast array of services with each real estate transaction.

To Buyers and Sellers:

Quite frankly, our agents are on point when it comes to marketing and we have a great eye for detail at eAgent™ Realty. We could say all the same things that real estate agents say about how we are the best and show you our trophies and plaques and yada-yada-yada, but just check out what we do for yourself and our reviews. Better yet, come and meet us personally or give us a call. Every situation is unique, but with our diverse and talented team we are confident that we can give you optimal results for your unique situation. If we do not exceed your expectations, please be open and honest with us about it and we will do everything within our power to right the situation and then some if we can.

To the Real Estate Professional:

eAgent™ can empower large offices, small offices, teams and even individual agents with the tools and marketing to compete with bigger franchise offices with less overhead and more benefits. Think of us as your professional tool box with team camaraderie. We are currently working on a specific website for you to learn more about what eAgent™ has to offer. It should be ready by mid-summer as we didn't want to rush it and give you a less that superior experience. We also wanted to take this time to let you know of our plan to start offering franchise opportunities starting Q1 of 2020 with a remarkable marketing and technology package that surpasses anything you've ever seen or experienced. Here are some of the questions we've asked ourselves and will be addressing in 2019 as we get closer to our eAgent™ Franchise launch.

Is paying for a brick and mortar office not for you at the moment? Work from home or participate with our synergy office that can facilitate multiple teams with office space and equipment for a reasonable monthly fee. Do you want to keep your own brokerage name and branding? No problem. You can simply power your existing brokerage with our back office eAgent suite of tools. But if you love eAgent’s signage and branding and can’t get enough of our adorable mascot Evie the elephant, then by all means come and join in all the fun!

What does eAgent™ actually stand for?

Great question! While “e” is a reoccurring theme with us (obviously), “e” is primarily for evolution. eAgent™ is our entrepreneurial interpretation of “The Evolution of Real Estate™.” The market is changing, as ALL things are and always will be. We choose to evolve alongside the changing marketplace in a complimentary fashion for all involved.

So, WHAT’S the DEAL with this Blue Baby Elephant?

We thought you’d never ask! The name “Evie” is a love-name for our daughter Evelyn and her favorite color has always been blue. Our family (Justin, Darlene, Emrik & Evelyn) were sitting together discussing changes we were making in our business (and yes...we DO consult our entire family with our business decisions mainly as an opportunity for mentorship) and what it all meant to each of us… what it would cost each of us and what we wanted to achieve from all of this change. We all agreed that it was time to start talking about the “elephant(s) in the room.” We agreed that we all had different elephants and that anything that holds any of us back is holding ALL of us back. We decided that we will confront all obstacles together, be it real estate investments, wayward friends or even dirty laundry.

The “elephants” were quickly adopted as our spirit-animals as we worked our way through all the issues on the chopping block. As we learned more about actual elephants and how their herd is structured (thanks Alexa & Siri!), we wanted our elephant to be a female. We noticed that only the most desperate and starving of animals would dare attack an elephant of any kind, so when they do have a go at an elephant, the smallest or weakest of the heard is always the “best” target for a tired and weak predator. However, attacking an elephant calf is also a great way to receive the full wrath of the herd, as it turns out.

We serendipitously created a familial mascot within one conversation. "Evie" is now eAgent's crystal blue elephant calf mascot. She possesses the freedom to learn, grow, prosper and play under the guidance and protection of the entire herd for as long as it serves her. To us, Evie the elephant represents a "crystal blue" transparency, an existence of continual open and honest communications through good times and bad, and being part of a loyal network that would see all those that mean well, do well.

Meet the Owners

Justin Allen and Darlene Allen

Since 2002, Justin Allen & Darlene Allen have been licensed Real Estate Agents in the State of Mississippi. Investment Property has been a passion of theirs since the very first property they purchased in 2002. From there, they bought and sold over 100 personal investment properties. Justin went on to be President of the Wealth Builders of South Mississippi Real Estate Investors Association giving seminars on short sales and deal strategy seminars to regional investors.

After a short hiatus from real estate in 2009, they went to work for one of the largest new construction home builders in the Southeast, Adams Homes. Shortly thereafter, they reopened their real estate brokerage, Smart Design Properties with a focus on a smarter and greener approach to new home construction sales working with custom home builder, Elliott Homes.

In 2016, they purchased the rights to open a real estate franchise office they named E-Realty with the focus on being more paperless and tech driven. They also started an in-house media company called Blue Suede Media that not only provides professional real estate photography, but also virtual tours in REAL 3D.

In 2017, Justin was approached by several local real estate investors to restart the local investor group for additional networking and education which the area lacked. MS Coast REIA was formed and has been growing since. (Monthly panel discussion meetings are held from 6-8pm every 1st Tuesday of each month at the eAgent™ Realty Home Office in Gulfport.)

In May of 2019 they launched their own franchise brokerage concept named eAgent™ with the first office being eAgent™ Realty, located in Gulfport, Mississippi. They wanted to create a real estate brokerage franchise model focused on giving more power back to the agents by giving them an open source virtual software platform while still being able to have a local office for participating Agents to physically meet with clients, or to do office work away from their home.
