About Morgan Allison

I'm Morgan Allison, a commercial realtor with Keller Williams Realty. I help entrepreneurs and investors in the Greater Baton Rouge area. I live in Gonzales with my wife, son, and two dogs.

I am also a licensed attorney, and before I began devoting my full time efforts to finding and negotiating commercial real estate deals for my clients, I had a private law practice for over 20 years. I was a general practitioner handling estate planning, successions, divorces and custody proceedings. 

My favorite cases were ones in which I helped small business owners negotiating contracts and deals.  Now I get to focus my time and energy on what I love most. I'm also a bit of a "technophile." I've been quite the computer geek all of my life, and now I get to put my love of analysis, crunching numbers, and spreadsheets to good use analyzing real estate deals.

I came to commercial real estate relatively late in my career, but I feel like this is where I was meant to be all along.

I've also long been a bit of an amateur philosopher. My undergraduate degree was a Liberal Arts one focused on philosophy, and I'm a big fan of the Greek philosophers. I think there is a lot of overlap between the ancient Greeks' practice of Virtue and pursuit of a flourishing life and the modern "self-help" or productivity field. 

I like to write articles and make videos of the things I find interesting or helpful. I've made lots of websites, YouTube videos and blogs over the years. But, now I just want a place that's just about me and what I love. So, now, everything I create, I am putting here. I don't care if it all makes sense together or if it affects my "SEO," I just want people to know the real me. And this is it.

I'd love to get to know you better, so feel free to join me on Facebook or LinkedIn. Message me and let's talk!

National Association of Realtors Faces Competition

Image
The National Association of Realtors (NAR) has held a monopoly over the real estate industry for a hundred years. Their grip on the industry is unmatched. For example, only about 15% of all doctors are members of the American Medical Association. About 17% of all lawyers are members of the American Bar Association. In real estate, 99% of agents and brokers are members of the NAR. The recent controversies they have been embroiled in has created an opportunity for an association to compete with them.  Founders Jason Haber and Mauricio Umansky propose the creation of the "American Real Estate Association," which aims to foster collaboration, innovation, and excellence among real estate agents, providing an alternative to the NAR.  According to these founders, their key areas of focus will include strengthening agent skills, enhancing investor-friendly education, improving ethics, and promoting diversity and inclusion in decision-making. Currently, joining their nascent associati...
