ALLYSON SULLIVAN<br />
A Realtor With Passion<br />
For Delray History!<br />
By Diane Feen | photos by Jad Esmail<br />
Allyson Sullivan has been called a South Florida Real Estate<br />
Rockstar by her clients. Not only has she accumulated<br />
accolades that would fill up a ballroom, but she also<br />
donates her time and resources to help those in need.<br />
If you listen to her clients, they cannot say enough good things<br />
about her. Most are in awe of her ability to make a deal go<br />
through in the most competitive marketplace (Delray Beach)<br />
and others are comforted by her “stand by my client” reverie.<br />
Sullivan has worked as a Realtor in Delray Beach for the past 21<br />
years and has earned her place in the pantheon of perfection by<br />
those who know her. “Allyson’s follow through and follow-up have<br />
always been impressive, but buying a home in today’s cutthroat<br />
market is where she really shines. She was on top of every detail,<br />
she got the answers to questions before we even knew to ask them.<br />
She made sure our offer was competitive and sold us to the seller. If<br />
you want a great house and you don’t want any headaches, Allyson<br />
and her team at Lang are the way to go,” said Alison Corin.<br />
Currently Sullivan has been immersed in the history and heritage<br />
of historic homes in Delray. Not only that, she has been selling them<br />
to clients who revere this style of architecture. Her client roster and<br />
demand for these historical homes has also escalated. Especially<br />
since this time-honored architecture is becoming rather extinct in<br />
South Florida. “I really enjoy selling historic homes in Delray and<br />
my success in doing so has been rewarding. We are restoring the<br />
history and relevance of Delray at its finest hour,” said Sullivan.<br />

Sullivan currently has three distinct historic homes for sale. Her<br />
newest listing is a house built in 1947 with the architectural moniker<br />
of Streamline Moderne. “This home is unlike anything you have<br />
ever seen,” she said. The reason for Sullivan’s exuberance is because<br />
the home sits on a double corner lot in the Del Ida Historic District.<br />
It was completely redone, yet skillfully designed to emulate the<br />
craftsmanship and finishes of its glory days. The home underwent a<br />
full renovation by local Delray builder, RTG Construction and has all<br />
the amenities of a modern luxury home. It is a prime location, and<br />
you can walk to Pineapple Grove, <strong>Atlantic</strong> <strong>Ave</strong>nue, the local farmers<br />
market, the beach and shopping.<br />
Sullivan has also been chosen to represent the sale of a historic<br />
intracoastal waterway home on Marine Way. The 3-bedroom, twobathroom<br />
home was built in 1935 and comes with a one bedroom,<br />
one bathroom cottage. Included in the sale are plans for a renovation<br />
to restore the home to its original roots with a modern flair.<br />
The marine area will be restored by the city of Delray and includes<br />
raising the seawall and improving the street with pavers and landscaping.<br />
“This will make Marine Way one of the nicest waterfront<br />
streets with the best location!” said Sullivan.<br />
Her third historic home listing is known as the “The Acheson<br />
Estate.” It is the first time this house has ever been for sale. It is<br />
