Hi, I’m Alissa Allphin Jenkins (Allphin is pronounced “All-fin”). I’m a Realtor serving the Baton Rouge & Ascension area.

I got into real estate in 2011 during the last semester of my MBA and found a career that lets me do three things I love: work with people, talk about houses, and get into a good spreadsheet.

I pride myself on telling my clients what they need to hear, always with kindness and usually with a little humor. Sometimes that sounds like “I love you, but those drapes have to go.” Other times it’s “Before we start picking out paint colors, let’s pull up the fee worksheet and see what you’d actually need to bring to closing.” I’m happy to get into the details early & talking about things a lot of agents avoid.

I do not just want to list your home, I want to sell it. That starts before it hits the market. I help sellers decide what’s worth fixing, where to spend, and what to leave alone. Then we talk honestly about pricing and how to present the home so buyers can see what makes it special.

My job with buyers is to help you make a purchase you'll feel good about long after closing. Before we start touring, I can help you choose a lender, review fee worksheets with you, and talk through what you’re comfortable spending each month and bringing to closing. When we find a house you love, you’ll already know how the price, closing costs, flood zone, and any seller concessions fit together, so we can put together an offer that works for you.

Real estate runs in my family. My dad, grandpa, and great-grandmother were all appraisers, and I’m the first Allphin to sell real estate.

My dad built my childhood home with my grandpa and uncles before I was born, and my family still lives there. That’s probably where I got my soft spot for a good porch, big trees, and a house with a little character.

I also co-host Hustle Humbly Podcast, since 2019, where we have honest conversations about building a real estate business and a life you enjoy. I’m a mom of two and married to Tanner, a Major over Narcotics & Gang Intelligence with the East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff’s Office. Our running joke is that we both go into houses for work, just for very different reasons.

Thinking about buying or selling in the Baton Rouge / Ascension area? Reach out, even if you’re still figuring out whether a move makes sense. We can talk through the numbers, the timing, and what would need to fall into place for you to feel good about taking the next step.
