Pleasanton, CA — December 20, 2024 — NextHome is proud to announce our newest addition to the franchise, NextHome Horizon Meadows Realty, located in Shelbyville, Kentucky. The brokerage joins the growing NextHome franchise which currently has over 600 active office locations across the country.
NextHome Horizon Meadows Realty serves clients throughout Shelbyville, Simpsonville, Bagdad, Taylorsville, Finchville, Fisherville, J-Town, Saint Matthews, Eminence, Frankfort, and Pleasureville.
NextHome Horizon Meadows Realty is owned by Angie Allen. Angie is a Shelby County native and former elementary school teacher with over a decade of real estate sales expertise.
“I was always fascinated with different home styles and interiors,” Angie said. “But more than that I really wanted to help families who dreamed of owning their own homes, but struggled with a lack of guidance and support.”
Angie’s passion for helping families find a home is personal. For many years, prior to becoming a licensed real estate agent, Angie watched her own family struggle to buy a home.
“I saw my family wanting to be homeowners, but they didn’t get a lot of help,” Angie said. “I thought, that’s not right. That’s when I decided I am going to get into real estate and I’m going to do what needs to be done to get people into the home that they want.”
Angie’s career thrived on helping families achieve dreams they thought were impossible. Working with various local offices, Angie became sought-after for her patient, hands-on approach.
“Some of my proudest moments are when I’ve helped clients overcome obstacles to homeownership,” Angie said. “I’ll never forget working with one woman, a mother, for over eight months to build her credit and guide her home-buying journey. Now she and her family are happily living in the home they once rented. For me, real estate isn’t about the awards or the numbers – it’s about helping people find their home.”
Throughout her career, Angie has always been centered on helping others succeed. That’s why she wanted to open her own office, so that she could support agents who want to grow their careers.
“I want to be a different kind of broker—one who truly supports agents with the training, guidance, and resources they need to succeed,” Angie said. “Every agent has their own unique journey, and I want to make sure they feel supported every step of the way.”
In July, 2024 she became an independent broker, but knew she needed more in order to support agents.
“I knew I needed a little more to help make this a really successful business, and that’s when I stumbled across NextHome’s mascot Luke,” Angie said. “I immediately felt at home. I’m passionate about animals and do a lot of work with shelters, so seeing dogs be such a big part of NextHome’s marketing and culture was really attractive to me.”
As Angie looked closer at NextHome, she discovered a culture of support combined with the industry’s best tools, technology, and marketing.
“NextHome’s focus on putting people first really aligns with the way I like to do business,” Angie said. “Opening a NextHome franchise feels like being part of a family. The support from leadership and fellow agents is incredible, and everyone is rooting for each other to succeed. This company’s priorities are in the right place.”
Today, Angie is combining her unparalleled area knowledge with NextHome’s industry leading support to elevate service for local clients.
“With all the support NextHome offers, I can stay focused on supporting my agents so they can focus on their clients,” Angie said. “NextHome’s ability to make technology and training lead to better relationships-based real estate service is a huge advantage for us.”
Angie has been married to her husband Eddie for 34 years. She is a proud mom and grandmother, and home schools her two young granddaughters. She has a deep love for animals, regularly donating to local shelters and humane societies and helping as many animals as she can. Angie has also made a positive impact in her community by coaching youth soccer, cheerleading, and basketball.
“NextHome Horizon Meadows Realty is different because we are people-centered,” Angie said. “For us, real estate is more than houses – it really is helping people. This is more than a job- it’s helping people find a home.”
Please join us in congratulating Angie on the opening of NextHome Horizon Meadows realty in Shelbyville, Kentucky!
