As a native of Richmond, Virginia, Micah Allen has always enjoyed showing off the city to out-of-town family and friends. To make their stay extra special, she's been known to put together guides highlighting unique features of the Greater Richmond area. "I think exploring and showing people around my favorite areas is probably one of the ways I felt drawn to real estate." 

Micah was born in Richmond, then spent her high school years living in mountainous Southwest Virginia in Lynchburg. She studied broadcast journalism at Radford University and briefly lived in New York City after graduating to pursue media internships. "I fully intended to stay in NYC, but during a visit with family over the holidays, I was impressed with how much I saw RVA growing and decided to stay." 

Before Micah began her real estate career, she worked in both non-profit and corporate sectors, serving in various marketing communications roles that included coordinating newsletters, website development, advertising campaigns, fundraising activities, and event planning. In 2015, Micah's good friend and top producing real estate agent invited her to assist with marketing at her brokerage. She later joined a top real estate team as a transaction coordinator, facilitating numerous property listings and closings over the years, and eventually becoming a licensed REALTOR in Virginia. 

Today Micah enjoys meeting new people and helping them meet their real estate goals, whether buying or selling property. In her spare time, she enjoys gardening, decorating, cooking, discovering local art, restaurants, and farmer's markets, and exploring RVA's nature trails with her husband and her Yorkiepoo.
