Frank Howard Allen Strengthens North Bay Presence with New Agents, Offices

NOVATO, CA (March 31, 2011) - Frank Howard Allen Realtors, the largest locally owned and operated real estate brokerage in the North Bay, announces the opening of new core offices in Sonoma, Napa, St. Helena, Glen Ellen and Kenwood.

“In a time of nationwide cutbacks and closures, we are fortunate to be in a position where we can grow and expand,” said Noreen Smith, President/COO of Frank Howard Allen Realtors. “We are delighted to bring our locally dedicated operations to the Wine Country. These new office locations are positioned to allow our agents to maintain a strong presence in the community and continue to serve their clients in the Napa and Sonoma Valleys.”

Frank Howard Allen now operates 16 core offices with an additional 7 independently owned and operated offices, part of a strategic plan to offer unmatched services in the North Bay region and remain the go-to brokerage for local expertise and quality service. Frank Howard Allen was previously serving the Wine Country through an affiliation with the Wine Country Group.

The new Frank Howard Allen offices will be filled with many of the best and brightest in the industry, as the century-old brokerage welcomes many outstanding agents, including Daniel Casabonne. Casabonne works exclusively in the Sonoma Valley and has developed a strong market niche where he is one of the most prolific and highest-rated agents in the area, ranked as the Sonoma Valley Top Producer since 2002, in the top five in Sonoma County for sales volume from 2003-2009, and number one in Sonoma County for dollar volume in 2010.

“We are thrilled that so many top producers and veterans made the decision to remain with the Frank Howard Allen brand and have chosen to join our core offices,” adds Smith. “This restructuring of offices allows for a more comprehensive service of the area and we’re now able to offer our agents, and their clients, new tools that were unavailable before.”

In addition to the new offices, many agents have joined Frank Howard Allen’s existing offices throughout Marin and Sonoma counties. Frank Howard Allen is the market share leader in the North Bay, with over 450 agents serving the region, including over 30 agents who joined during the first quarter of 2011.
