About Me

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!

Trollng a Scammer

Image
Today, someone tried to scam me out of $400 through texts. They posed as a person who is, basically, my boss at my real estate office. So, they probably got my cell number and information about our office from our website. I consider myself pretty savvy to all the scams, but this experience taught me it's really easy to fall for one. I was falling for it for an embarrassingly long time. I think it's because the possibility of being scammed is just not in the fore of our mind. This scam actually started last night. I didn't notice the text until this morning, though, and was feeling kind of bad about it. I guess one thing I should be thankful to this scammer for is making me revisit my notification settings to make it less likely to miss important texts.   So, I got these texts when I was just leaving Walmart. I was in the parking lot about to pull out and go home. I got back out and headed back into the store.  At this point, I was thinking my broker needed a gift card righ
