Together they handle every kind of move: first homes and forever homes, resale and new construction, listings and purchases. They’re known for calm, straightforward guidance and quick follow-up at every stage of a transaction — whether that means walking buyers through floor plans on a new build, pricing a longtime family home for sale, or coordinating a relocation across town.

A University of Florida graduate, she’s worked in local real estate full-time since 2008, and from 2010 to 2018 she owned and operated her own Gainesville brokerage and property management company before joining Watson in 2019. She works with buyers and sellers across Alachua County — first homes, longtime family homes, investment properties, and new construction, including leading the team’s work with William Weseman Construction. Whether she’s pricing a resale listing, negotiating an offer, or guiding a buyer through design selections on a new build, Allison brings the calm, straightforward guidance that helps clients feel confident from start to finish.
Jason Leverette
Jason is a Sales Associate with Watson Realty Corp. and a Gainesville native who’s spent his entire career in his hometown market. He joined Allison’s brokerage in 2017 and made the move to Watson with the team in 2019.

Easy to talk to and quick on the follow-up, he’s the kind of agent clients feel comfortable calling at any stage, whether they’re buying, selling, or building.
