Alison Alger
DESCRIBE YOUR CURRENT ROLE
I am a licensed Realtor with Cannon Cleary McGraw. I have also had the privilege to serve on the North Central Mississippi Realtors Board as president. I also volunteer for More than a Meal with NCMR. I am vice president and current secretary and treasurer as a participant in Leadership Mississippi Association of Realtors (LMAR). Sitting on the State Legislative Board was an honor as well.
HOW I KNEW THIS WAS MY PASSION
I was tired of traveling on a plane for two to three nights a week with three young children in the corporate world. During the recession in 2009, my husband Corey, who is an architect, decided he needed his contractor’s license as well to design and build. He mentioned one evening the only thing he lacked was his real estate license. A light bulb went off! I had been in sales since MBA school; I could get my license. A great mentor encouraged me to take the challenge. Thirteen years later, I have enjoyed every opportunity to help my buyers and sellers and I continue to watch the Oxford Community thrive to the great place it is today!
