HER Realtors Forms Partnership with The Richard Allen Group of the Third District of the AME Church

COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 7, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- HER Realtors, central Ohio's largest independently owned and operated brokerage today announced a partnership with The Richard Allen Group, the recently formed for-profit arm of the African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church.

The AME Church was established in 1794 when Richard Allen and other African American members pulled away from the Methodist Episcopal Church to fight discrimination. Today the AME Church has over 1.2 million members in thirty nine countries around the world.

Eden Regento Real Estate Consultants in Columbus, Ohio merged operations with HER Realtors to spearhead this new partnership with The Richard Allen Group.  "Our mutual goals are the economic redevelopment of our communities, job creation and education on home ownership," said Buffie Patterson, former managing broker of Eden Regento.  "We're excited to be involved with The Richard Allen Group, and invest our time and resources in the communities of their church members."

An HER community office is being established to handle the real estate needs of The Richard Allen Group and the AME Church members in the King Lincoln District of Columbus from which Patterson and other associates will work.  Prior to that opening, a location is being scouted for a second office in the Dayton area, with plans to open others across the state in the near future.

"Buffie Patterson and the seven other tenured Associates joining us from Eden Regento are top caliber agents whose professionalism and dedication are a great fit for our brokerage," said Louise Potter, Senior Regional Vice President of HER Realtors.  "They will continue to service the real estate needs of clients throughout central Ohio, in addition to members of the AME Church, but now with the enhanced support and exposure that HER Realtors can offer."  

"Ohio communities are growing, and we are seeing new job development impact housing growth," said Sean Morrow, Vice President of Business Development for HER Realtors.  "This new partnership with The Richard Allen Group will enable us to deliver market expertise with expanded reach and resources for clients, while continuing to position ourselves and associates for new opportunities that are surfacing."
