About Us

Something Exciting in 2026!

As we move into the new year, I am thrilled to share something that has been in the making for quite some time, and I’m so excited to finally share the news with you!

Two teams with shared values, a shared vision, and a shared commitment to exceptional client care are officially joining forces. Brandon Elsemore, Owner of the Red Tree Real Estate Team, and Catherine Allen, Owner of Allen Realty Group, are now Porchlight Home Group, a new team at Keller Williams Coastal and Lakes & Mountains Realty.

While we’ve collaborated for years, this next chapter brings us together under one unified team, combining our skills, experience, and resources to serve you at an even higher level. As a team, we bring more than twenty-seven years of real estate experience, aligned around one idea: redefining real estate through genuine hospitality.

11 D's of Why People Move

  • Diamonds
  • Distance
  • Downsizing
  • Dreams
  • Divorce
  • Diapers
  • Death
  • Dollars
  • Disaster
  • Dependent
  • Development Opportunity
Life transitions

Diamonds

Marriage and partnership often come with big decisions—where you live, how you share space, and what “home” should feel like together. Whether you’re combining households or upgrading for the next chapter, the goal is a plan that supports both of you. We’ll help you align timelines, budgets, and priorities so the move feels exciting—not stressful.
Start Your Plan

Distance

A move can be the reset button you’ve been needing—closer to work, closer to family, or simply closer to the life you want to live. Maybe the commute is draining you, or a new role requires a new zip code. We’ll map out the smartest path from where you are to where you’re going, with clarity around timing, logistics, and cost.
Explore Your Options

Downsizing

Downsizing is often less about “having less” and more about living lighter and easier. It can mean fewer stairs, less maintenance, and a home that supports the way you live today. We’ll help you simplify the decision-making, prioritize what matters most, and make the transition smooth from start to finish.
Downsize With Confidence

Dreams

Some moves are fueled by vision—waterfront mornings, a mountain view, a weekend getaway, or the retirement destination you’ve always pictured. Lifestyle-driven decisions deserve strategy, not impulse. We’ll help you evaluate the true costs, the long-term fit, and the steps needed to turn a dream move into a smart one.
Talk Through the Dream

Divorce

Separation brings emotional and practical complexity, and housing decisions can feel overwhelming in the middle of it. The priority is stability, clear options, and a plan that protects your next steps. We’ll approach the process with discretion and calm guidance, helping you move forward with confidence.
Get a Clear Path Forward

Diapers

When your family grows, your home needs change fast—more space, better layout, different schools, or simply room to breathe. You might be planning ahead or responding to a new season of life with kids. We’ll help you find the right fit without rushing the decision, balancing budget, timing, and everyday functionality.
Find More Room

Death

Loss can trigger major transitions, and real estate decisions often come with added legal and logistical steps. Whether it’s an estate transition, probate sale, or a family home that needs a next chapter, the process should be handled with care. We’ll guide you through the practical details with patience, clarity, and respect.
Request Private Guidance

Dollars

Sometimes the move is about finances—leveraging equity, reducing monthly strain, improving cash flow, or positioning for a better return. Real estate can be a powerful tool when the strategy is clear. We’ll help you evaluate options, compare scenarios, and make decisions that strengthen your financial foundation.
Run the Numbers

Disaster

When a home problem becomes too big—storm damage, flooding, fire, mold, or major disrepair—speed and clarity matter. The right choice might be selling as-is, renovating, or taking a different path entirely. We’ll help you understand your options quickly and choose the one that makes the most sense for your situation.
See Your Next Step

Dependent

Caregiving changes everything—space needs, privacy, accessibility, and daily routines. Whether you’re supporting aging parents, creating a multigenerational home, or welcoming adult children back, the right setup is deeply personal. We’ll help you find solutions that respect everyone’s needs and keep life workable.
Plan a Better Setup

Development Opportunity

Sometimes the value isn’t just the home—it’s the land, the location, or the potential for something more. Subdivision possibilities, investment interest, or zoning changes can shift what makes sense to do next. We’ll help you evaluate the opportunity, understand the market, and position the property to maximize outcomes.
