Who are the 100 most influential in real estate? According to Inman News, our very own @Red_Allen is one of them! Well, his Twitter persona may be “Red,” but we call him Mark. We also call him a lot of other things not fit for print, but that’s neither here nor there.

Kidding. Kidding. We think highly of our CEO. “The Big Cheese in the Corner Office” is fair and honest and smooths the way for cool and useful work to be done in an industry that is often accused of being slow, unyielding and technologically tone deaf.

We are thrilled by his being on the list. And he is both honored and humbled by it, always following up any praise with a quick reminder that he is simply a representative for the volunteer leaders and staff that make up the Minneapolis Area Association of REALTORS® and 10K Research and Marketing.
