With her degree in fashion and textile management, Allie Parker thought she had found her dream job with a cosmetics company in 2015. But it wasn’t what she expected. Her desk was in a depressing cubicle with no windows. After two-and-a-half years of feeling isolated, she resigned, traveled to Thailand to reset, and came back resolved to join her father and brother in the real estate world.
Parker, 29, has found a niche in helping younger luxury home buyers. She is one of the youngest members of Keller Williams’ Luxury International and most recently became a founding member of the Keller Williams Sports & Entertainment division.
"Since COVID, a lot of people have been moving from the Northeast and West Coast to North Carolina, and they can afford a lot more here. These younger home buyers are humble and hungry," Parker says. With a business motto of "work hard and treat people right," Parker has become close friends with many of her clients. One recently invited Parker and her husband to a destination wedding.
"I knew I was in the right industry," she quips, "when I got invited to a wedding in Hawaii."
