Meet First Team’s newest addition to the family: Chip and Kim Real Estate Group. Co-founder Chip McAllister isn't your average real estate broker. With a background as colorful and diverse as his personality, Chip brings a unique blend of charisma, experience, and passion to the industry. His journey into real estate was not only inspired by his wife's love for the field but also by his own innate desire to connect with people and make a difference in their lives.
What sets Chip apart is his unwavering commitment to the golden rule—treating others as he wishes to be treated. This fundamental principle has guided him through both personal and professional endeavors, fostering trust and leading to positive outcomes time and time again. But that’s not all of Chip's story.
From his early days as an actor in major motion pictures to winning The Amazing Race alongside his wife, Chip's diverse background includes roles in various fields such as system analysis, information technology consulting, photography, and even ownership of a product company. Yet, through it all, his passion for connecting with people remained constant.
Chip and Kim began their real estate careers with First Team 10 years ago, and their decision to rejoin was driven by more than just a desire for growth; it was a testament to their trust in CEO Michele Harrington's vision and her commitment to helping them build a successful team. With a decade of industry experience under their belts, they primarily serve North and South Orange County, as well as Los Angeles County.
Chip and Kim aspire to build a team of at least 10 agents this year, aiming for a sales volume of $40 million. Beyond real estate, they actively engage with the community, volunteering with organizations like the Autistic Center and supporting various causes, from assisting traumatized children to participating in charity walks for brain injury survivors.
At the heart of Chip and Kim's brand is their mantra: "It's the journey, not just the destination." This philosophy isn't just a slogan—it's a way of life. They prioritize service and constant communication, ensuring that their clients not only achieve their real estate goals but also enjoy the process along the way.
For Chip and Kim, working with First Team is akin to participating in The Amazing Race—a thrilling adventure filled with challenges and triumphs. They look forward to continuing their journey together with First Team, making a positive impact on their clients' lives and building a legacy of success in the real estate industry.
