Pat Allen moved to Highlands thirty-three years ago and she and her late husband, also named Pat, opened a bed and breakfast and cooking school. It was so popular no marketing was needed and even Southern Living Magazine discovered it and did a two-page story featuring it.  After eight years the inn was sold, and Pat went into real estate in the small mountain town of Highlands - voted the number one small mountain town in the country by Travel and Leisure Magazinein 2024. 

Pat's knowledge, determination, work ethic, and negotiation skills quickly soared her to a top producer for her twenty-four-year career in real estate. From being the BIC at Harry Norman Realtors in Highlands for seven years, 15years ago she ventured out to open Pat Allen Realty Group. In 2024, she and her daughter, Julie Osborn, were the number one team in the company selling over sixty-eight million! Pat continuously wins awards and breaks records! She is an avid dog lover and large supporter of the Cashiers-Highlands Humane Society as well as other humane societies throughout the country. She supports too many non-profits to name! She is a true believer in giving back. Pat enjoys writing and has done two cookbooks: Whisk Upon a Star and Mouth of the South. 

Her latest book: Hurdles in a Girdle...Holding Life Together When You're Bursting at the Seams was published by the same group that published Jack Canfield's books the Chicken Soup for the Soul series and the Success Principles. Jack endorsed Pat's book on the cover of her book. Part of the profit is donated to Goalfriends, a non-profit that helps women struggling to get back on their feet. Her book is available on Amazon and was launched on April 25, 2024.

After the traumatic experience of losing her husband, she explored hypnotherapy -a neuro-science based method to deal with any situation where a person feels stuck, depressed, fearful, or deals with phobias, etc. In her calling to inspire and help others find joy in life, she earned her certification.

Pat is dedicated, determined, and driven and her success is because she always makes it about her client...not herself.
