    The addition of Big Hill Realty strengthens Howard Hanna's position in Ohio by combining decades of industry expertise with a shared commitment to service excellence. As part of the merger, Big Hill Realty agents will gain access to exclusive programs such as the Buy & Borrow Bundle and unique mortgage options like Hanna Cash Guarantee.

    "We are excited to join Howard Hanna," said Jeff Owens, president of Big Hill Realty. "Their innovative products and services will greatly benefit our clients." Shawn Adams, president of HHRES's Ohio South Central region, noted that the merger combines the strengths of both companies, allowing them to better support agents, buyers, and sellers in the Dayton area.

    The Alliance Group Realty expands Howard Hanna's footprint into South Carolina's Low Country. Founded by Bob Clarkson in 2011, The Alliance Group Realty has grown to over 70 agents and is recognized as one of the top brokerages in Hilton Head, with over $140 million in sales in 2023.

    "The Alliance Group Realty reflects our values of ethics, integrity, and service excellence," said Clarkson. "Joining Howard Hanna | Allen Tate allows us to provide unmatched tools, support, and growth opportunities for our agents." Howard W. "Hoby" Hanna IV, CEO of HHRES, stated that the dual expansion reinforces the company's growth strategy, uniting agents who share its dedication to excellence.

    These strategic moves position Howard Hanna for long-term success and deeper service to its communities.
