About Me
The other day someone asked me a question that made me think…..”How do you like your job?” (I know this is going to sound so "cheesy") I really, really do not consider what I do a “job”. Every day is different, exciting and very fulfilling. I am fortunate to work with the most awesome group of people in
this industry. They are professional, ethical, hardworking, creative and just plain fun. We celebrate successes and support each other like a family. I look forward to going to the office every day. Stop by and see us if you are in the neighborhood….you can see for yourself.
"Do what you love and you will never work a day in your life."

We are a team, and I am always here for you! Never hesitate to ask a question, share an idea or just stop by to catch up with each other.
I have been in this industry for almost 25 years...general brokerage, relocation and now leadership.
I was born in a small town in western North Carolina, moved to Wilmington, and now I have the pleasure of calling the "Capital City" home.
I enjoy spending time with family and friends, decorating, entertaining, and watching the Duke Blue Devils dominate the basketball court...(had to say it)

As our region's Senior Branch Leader, we often look to Alli for guidance and support. She is always there with great ideas and encouragement. Alli is dedicated to the success and happiness of her agents. I truly appreciate all she brings to our Leadership Team.
Phyllis Brookshire, President
Allison is a consummate professional who brings her expertise and dedication to the job every day. Her experience as a successful agent prior to becoming a branch leader allows her to provide practical advice to her agents and helps her excel in her approach to coaching. Her office regularly outperforms the market and she truly is making a difference in the lives of her agents and staff every day.
Kathy Uhorchak
Alli is a true professional! I've known her since 2008 and worked directly with her for the past four years. It's refreshing to have a colleague, a fellow Branch Leader, who can help guide mysterious waters that often appear in our business. We all need mentors and advice at times and I'm happy that Alli is always there with patience and support!
Salli Worth
I Alli has many good qualities as a branch leader. She has wonderful organizational ability, a great help to agents in wording difficult responses to other agents or clients, and a very positive attitude. She expects the best from agents and in turn, we want to respond with a job that reflects well on us and on Allen Tate.Salli

One of Alli's best qualities is that she is so approachable!!! I never feel that I cannot come to her for help, advice, etc.
Sue Greer
Easy. Alli sets a tone of respect. She is there whenever needed. She keeps the physical atmosphere warm and inviting. Our office feels like home and Alli is the head of household.
James Brown
The qualities that I believe make Alli a great BIC are positivity, patience, respect and creativity based in experience.She has the ability to always stay positive and focus on that positive outcome or solution rather than focusing on the problem at hand.And this talent is also manifested in her speech.She only speaks positively and I am a firm believer that you are what you say you are.The second trait that I believe is extremely helpful in the Glenwood office is knowing how to treat people as adults and professionals.The next is patience which is in high demand with an office full of devas and "needy pups"....LOLAnd one more, though there are many more, is she always has creative ideas and is able to draw on her experiences as a realtor to help us come up with fresh and creative solutions.
Julie Growney
You have many great qualities! I would definitely say I appreciate your communication skills the most. You are prepared to answer any questions I have and if you don’t have an answer, you find the answer! You are quick to respond to my voicemails, texts and emails and always instill confidence in me when I get nervous about a situation. Us newbies are lucky to have you as our fearless leader!
Eddie Cash
I would say one of the good qualities you have for a Branch Leader is Patience and Understanding. You are always pleasant explaining things to new agents ( even then telling them for the 4th time ) You do not get frustrated in those situations and always maintaining professional guidance

~Working with someone like Alli is a true pleasure. Her support, knowledge and friendship have been the perfect trifecta to get my real estate career up and running. The Glenwood branch is full of upbeat, supportive professionals and it's easy to see that it stems from her leadership.

Scott Graves
In searching for the right Real Estate company to begin my career in general brokerage, I discovered that there were many options from which I could choose in the Raleigh area. Upon a suggestion by a fellow Real Estate professional, I decided to investigate Allen Tate Realtors. My first meeting with Allen Tate was with the Glenwood Branch Leader, Allison Summey. I remember being struck by her personable demeanor, her enthusiasm for Real Estate and her obvious love for the job that she was able to enjoy everday. I was even more impressed by her genuine interest in determining what I needed in order to be successful in my new Real Estate career. These were the qualities in which I was seeking in a manager and mentor. Over the course of my first year in general brokerage, I can say without hesitation that Alli proved not only to be a quintessential leader but also a true mentor and friend. She made it her goal to be forever available to assist with questions, both big and small. Her invaluable experience in Real Estate - matched with an inherent ability to lead - allowed me to excel. Since that time, she has continued to prove herself as a leader, friend and role model in our industry. I am very thankful for the opportunity to work with her and Allen Tate.
As our region's Senior Branch Leader, we often look to Alli for guidance and support. She is always there with great ideas and encouragement. Alli is dedicated to the success and happiness of her agents. I truly appreciate all she brings to our Leadership Team.
