CELEBRATING
TWO YEARS IN PRINT
BY ROBERT ORSO, OWNER
Wow! Two years went by fast! Since I launched Gulf Coast Real Producers in May of 2023, my life has passed by fast. Each month I am reminded that another month is in the books because the magazine deadlines on the fifth of the month and it is amazing how quickly the fifth rolls around. I am getting older faster LOL!
Why do I do what I do? Everyone needs the “why” of what they do to stay motivated and keep pushing forward. Sure, I am making a living doing this, but there has to be a greater “why”. During a magazine celebration party this evening, one of my clients commented to me that I have a very unique job. And he was right. I have the privilege of meeting with and making friends with the best realtors and vendors in the market. I am not a big shot, but I do get to hang out with some big shots.
My goal has been to meet all of the top realtors on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. I have met many of them, but I am still working down the list. I have learned that the most successful ones do not consider themselves big shots, but are very humble, down-to-earth people who just keep their heads down and work and at the same time keep their perspectives right by making their families and friend relationships a priority - a balanced life. I have had the privilege of meeting some outstanding people and I cherish those encounters and relationships.
Over the past five years, we have extended our reach and presence in this market. The goal has been and still is to create a community where the elite realtors and our preferred partners can read about each other’s journeys to success and hang out together at our social events and magazine celebration parties. Our mission is for all of you to get to know each other better. When we know each other better, it creates trust and makes it easier to work together and help each other. When we trust one another, it is a joy to work together. That is our mission.
If you have not become our friend or follower on Facebook and Instagram, you are missing a lot of what we do. Join us at Gulf Coast Real Producers. Send me a friend request so I can invite you to our private Facebook page, Gulf Coast Top 300 Agents and Vetted Partners, where you can post your listing and closings.
JUSTIN
BY JESS WELLAR
“Everyone should have their own version of what success is for them and not have it defined by anyone else,” begins Justin Allen. “Success to me is the journey, not the destination.”
For Justin, CEO of eAgent, that mindset has not only shaped his personal outlook but also helped him transform the real estate brokerage model itself. With a mission to create opportunities for agents beyond the traditional structure, Justin has built
LEADING THE EVOLUTION OF REAL ESTATE eAgent ALLEN
“I think the agent’s job is going to look very different 20 years from now,” Justin points out. “If agents don’t evolve, 70 to 80% of what they’re doing is going to be automated. So we have to provide a different value proposition to our clients.”
Instead of fearing the shift, Justin believes this change will unlock new opportunities.
“It’s not about doing more of the same,” he adds. “It’s about adapting and finding ways to create more value for clients and agents alike.”
One of Justin’s guiding philosophies comes from
“Building a StoryBrand” by Donald Miller, a book that plays a significant role in eAgent’s branding.
“We preach that book here,” Justin chuckles. “It’s all about using a simple story to better communicate your service. People buy what they can understand quickly. We emphasize to our agents the importance of being the guide rather than the hero.”
a business that prioritizes mentorship, collaboration, and agent growth — with no glass ceiling in sight.
A Vision For Change
While studying various fields at the University of Southern Mississippi, including culinary arts, film production, business, and marketing, Justin worked for a decade as a casino dealer before venturing into real estate.
“I initially got into real estate because I wanted
to invest,” Justin recalls. “I figured having access to the MLS would give me the data I needed to make better decisions for investment properties. But once I was in, my entrepreneurial mind kicked in, and I saw the opportunity on the agent side as well … and eventually in owning my own brokerage.”
After years of working in real estate as both an agent and broker, Justin realized an opportunity to create something different. In 2020, he and his wife, Darlene,
launched eAgent, their own franchise that’s disrupting the traditional model.
“We saw some improvements could be made with our previous franchise, so we left and started our own brand,” Justin explains. “We wanted to emphasize more on the value we brought to the market. We didn’t want to force solutions through a traditional model, so we started from scratch and reverse-engineered what a brokerage should be.”
That fresh perspective became the foundation for eAgent’s success.
“Our main idea is providing more opportunities for agents,” Justin notes. “We teach agents how to open their own office someday, even if they don’t have their broker’s license yet. They can get a feel for what it’s like to run a brokerage without being isolated or taking unnecessary risks.”
More Than Just a Franchise What makes eAgent stand out isn’t just the freedom
it offers though; it’s the support system that comes with it. Justin says one of the biggest surprises agents experience is the collaborative environment.
“All of our franchisees get together once a month to share best practices, marketing ideas, compliance changes — all the things that make each other better,” Justin explains. “That collaborative culture is a huge benefit that they often weren’t expecting.”
Beyond helping agents open their own offices, Justin’s
team also provides creative investment strategies to help agents build wealth.
“We teach agents how to create a portfolio for themselves and build assets,” he offers. “Our focus is to give agents more value for what they’re paying for, while still feeling connected and loyal to the brand.”
Preparing For The Future
With over 23 years in the industry, Justin sees big changes coming over the next two decades with AI — and he’s determined to keep his agents ahead of the curve.
Justin illustrates this point by referencing a canvas that hangs in eAgent Nexus’ reception area, the office where he hangs his license; it’s a visual reminder of Yoda (the guide) helping Luke Skywalker (the hero).
When it comes to giving advice to up-and-coming agents, Justin believes that success often lies in that same simplicity.
“Don’t get fancy with the spices,” he suggests. “Stick to the basics. Yes, it’s a grind, and it’s boring — but that’s why it works. If you can stay
consistent and leverage other people’s time and knowledge, you’ll take your business to another level.”
Justin emphasizes the importance of learning from others as a shortcut to growth.
“If, for example, someone spends a year writing a book and it costs me 20 bucks to read it in a few days — that’s using someone else’s time to gain knowledge,” he suggests. “It’s the same with mentorship. Learn from your broker’s experience and apply that knowledge to your contract writing and negotiation skills.”
Balancing Business and Family
While eAgent keeps Justin busy, family remains a priority. He and Darlene, his wife of 23 years and eAgent’s co-founder, have two children, Emrik and Evelyn. The Allens also share their home with two beloved schnoodles, Tesla and Tamsen.
Together, they enjoy tennis, running, and frequent weightlifting as a family. In his downtime, Justin loves to unwind by watching historical documentaries and listening to audiobooks and podcasts for personal development..
“DON’T GET FANCY WITH THE SPICES. STICK TO THE BASICS. YES, IT’S A GRIND, AND IT’S BORING — BUT THAT’S WHY IT WORKS.”
Looking ahead, with eAgent’s footprint growing steadily, Justin’s focus remains on scaling the brand across the Southeast while continuing to innovate. True to his philosophy, Justin remains focused on the journey, not just the destination.
“The last five years have been about building training and systems for our foundation,” Justin finishes. “Now we’re ready to expand. Our next focus is on growth; but I want to maintain that our collaborative culture makes us different.”
Meg
Drawing from her purchasing background, Meg found the transition to becoming a Realtor surprisingly smooth.
“I understood the business aspect, and the numbers made sense for closing costs,” she explains. “In purchasing, I learned that if you’re honest, people trust you. I treat people the way I want to be treated, and that mentality carried over into my real estate career.”
True Grit
In late 2013, Meg faced one of her greatest challenges when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. At the time, her children were just 11 and 13 years old. Her treatment included a double mastectomy, six rounds of aggressive chemotherapy, eight months of infusion medicine, and multiple surgeries — a dozen in total.
“After I was diagnosed, my mother-inlaw gave me a blog someone had written about their own cancer experience,” Meg recalls. “The person was so angry, and I remember deciding right then that I wouldn’t allow myself to be that way.”
Dengler
Thriving With Purpose
BY JESS WELLAR
“Assisting others continues to motivate me,” begins Meg Dengler, Associate Broker and Accredited Buyer’s Representative with Coldwell Banker Alfonso Realty. “Every closing that I have helped people makes me look forward to the next one. I believe what you put into something is what you get back.”
For more than two decades, Meg has consistently approached her real estate career with that same helpful mindset, balancing her work with unending compassion for her clients, even when she herself is going through tough times.
Career Pivot
A native of the San Francisco Bay Area, Meg studied fashion design and business with the original intention of pursuing a career as a fashion buyer. However, life had other plans as buyer positions were hard to come by. Instead, she spent the next 15 years working as a purchasing manager for an electronics manufacturer in California.
After moving to Mississippi with her husband and their two young children in 2003 to be closer to her husband’s family, Meg found herself unsure of her next
career move. Fortunately, her husband’s aunt, Pat Harrington, who owned Harrington Realty in Ocean Springs, encouraged her to pursue real estate.
“When Pat asked me why I didn’t get my real estate license, I told her I wasn’t a salesperson,” Meg recalls. “She told me that being a real estate agent isn’t about sales — it’s about helping people through one of the hardest transactions of their lives. I told her I could do that, I loved helping people and I was used to following processes with strict deadlines.”
Instead, Meg tried to see the humor in everything throughout her recovery. Rather than letting her diagnosis slow her down, Meg also found that staying busy and focused on her clients gave her purpose.
“I decided I wasn’t going to be defined as a cancer ‘survivor’ but as a ‘Thrivor,’” she says. “I kept working through everything, and those next two years ended up being my best years in real estate.”
Defined By Consistency
Meg’s ability to maintain strong client relationships while delivering consistent results speaks volumes about her disciplin over the past two+ decades. Since 2003, Meg has been a Multi-Million Dollar Producer every year. In 2013, she was named Realtor of the Year, and while managing Coldwell Banker Smith Homes from 2007-2013, she was recognized as the Top Recruiting Manager in the country for her office size.
“My success isn’t defined solely by what I’ve accomplished in real estate,”

I believe what you put into something is what you get back.”
Meg points out. “I define success by the fact that I’m happy in my life. I have a good marriage, and we’ve been together 29 years. I have two children who both graduated from college — my son is a chemical engineer and my daughter is an ER nurse. That’s success to me.”
She also credits her loyalty and compassion for clients as key reasons for her longevity in the industry, while her unflappable demeanor helps her problem-solve in stressful situations.
“I answer my phone nights, weekends, while I’m on vacation — or even when I’ve been in the hospital,” she adds. “I pride myself on doing what I say I’m going to do, and often more. I care deeply about my clients and empathize with what they’re going through.”
Though Meg embraces technology where necessary, she proudly sticks to her old-school methods when it comes to marketing. For her, building lasting relationships far outweighs flashy marketing tactics
“I do mailings each month for my clients and still sign all of my postcards,” she shares. “Sometimes I even design them myself.”
On The Homefront
Beyond the office, Meg’s anchor is her family. She and her husband, Michael, enjoy visiting their son, Benjamin, 25, who resides in Clinton, while their daughter, Sarah, 23, lives just a few blocks away. The couple also shares their home with two beloved dogs: Daisy, a Bichon, and Luna, a talkative Husky who, Meg jokes, “talks back to me more than my kids ever did!”
To unwind after a busy work week, Meg loves spending time with her husband at Woody’s, her favorite local restaurant and bar. On some occasions, their daughter and her fiancé join them, too.
The couple have also discovered a passion for sailing the seas when time allows.
“Next up, we’re going with two other couples we met on a previous cruise to visit the Panama Canal,” Meg smiles.”“But during the summer, we love to just hang out in the backyard and relax by the pool.”
Exciting Season Ahead Meg’s immediate focus is on her family as both of her children are set to be married this year — her son in June and her daughter in October. But she relishes keeping her professional plate full, with plans to pursue additional certifications in negotiations and other subjects.
Meg is also a proud member of the Biloxi-Ocean Springs Association of Realtors and has served as executive Vice President (2010), President (2012) and past President (2013.)
“I love to teach real estate, too!” she beams. “I was a trainer for new agents when I joined Coldwell Banker Alfonso Realty in 2015 and I still teach classes occasionally.”
Though she once considered becoming a florist, Meg admits she can’t imagine doing anything else now.
“I’ll be doing real estate as long as I possibly can,” she concludes. “When I first moved here, I thought I’d get a less stressful job — now I have the most
PAM
Community Bank Mortgage BERDINE
LIKE NO OTHER BANK YOU KNOW
BY REBECCA WILSON
Banking Bloodline
As a young girl on summer break, Pam Berdine and her mother would visit the local bank every Thursday, where her Aunt Ellen served as the Vice President and Loan Officer. Those frequent visits planted a seed in Pam early on. “It seemed like something I wanted to do—be like her someday. She’s now 85 years old and will retire later this year,” Pam shared. “I come from a family of bankers,” she added.
That seed for banking began to grow later in her life. After graduating from Vancleave High School, Pam attended Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College and the University of Southern Mississippi, where she graduated with a Bachelors in Banking and Finance. “I have always been interested in finance, so a banking profession seemed like the natural route,” explained Pam.
Financial Foundations
Community Bank Mortgage currently operates in four states: Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, and Tennessee. Pam built her career foundation at their Mississippi Gulf Coast location, where she has served as a Mortgage
Loan Originator for the past nine years.
“Along the Gulf Coast, we have 10 full-service offices. We work as a collective group of experienced bank professionals to meet the needs of customers in all aspects of their banking relationship,” described Pam.
At Community Bank Mortgage, they provide financing for purchasing, refinancing, and building homes. They offer Conventional, FHA, VA, and USDA financing options, along with financing for condos and manufactured homes.
They also work in partnership with MS Home Corp to assist qualified borrowers with down payment assistance if necessary. “If a borrower is not mortgage ready, it is not the end of our relationship,” explained Pam. “We offer coaching so they can work on any credit challenges they’re facing, to become mortgageready in the future.”
The motto at Community Bank Mortgage is ‘like no other bank you know,’ rightfully so due to the personalized attention they
give to each client. The loans they make are not just transactions but are the foundation of many longterm relationships within their banks.
“I take closing on a home for a borrower personally. If there are challenges to overcome, I am there with the borrower to navigate through each one. When we’re successful, I’m at the closing table celebrating that success with them,” Pam shared proudly.
Once the closing is completed and the keys are handed over, that does not mean their relationship is finished. “Questions always arise after the closing, and I am always just a phone call away to answer each one,” explained Pam.
Her goal as a Mortgage Loan Originator is to always provide a top-tier level of
service, so her clients never hesitate when they are asked to make a recommendation to someone else. “The best compliment I can receive as a lender is a referral from a past client to their friends or family,” Pam stated.
Pam always strives to make the process as seamless as possible while maintaining strong and open lines of communication with all parties involved in the closing process. “I am always going the extra mile on every loan I handle,” Pam confessed. “We all want to achieve the same goal, and I want to work in a collaborative effort with all my business partners to achieve those goals.”
While the mortgage industry is constantly changing with new guidelines and new programs to assist potential homebuyers, Community Bank Mortgage is always
seeking more efficient ways to provide its customers and industry partners with worldclass service. “That’s what people have come to expect from Community Bank,” Pam shared. “I am looking forward to the mortgage industry becoming stronger along the MS Gulf Coast, as more and more people from around the country discover all that we have to offer them,” she added.
“I AM ALWAYS GOING THE EXTRA MILE ON EVERY LOAN I HANDLE.”
What Pam finds most fulfilling about her career is seeing her clients close on their first home. She elaborated, “The excitement they have and the pride they express knowing how hard they worked to buy that home. Or, if it’s not their first home, seeing them realize their goal of now closing on their dream home. I have had some special closings that were extremely meaningful
to me, and having a seat at those closing tables while watching it all unfold was extremely fulfilling.”
Community Commitment
Pam is not only committed to her career but also to her personal life. She has been married to her husband, Darin, for 24 years, and the pair share a 15-year-old son named Evan. “We enjoy trips to see the grandparents in Tennessee, traveling on cruises, watching movies, going to concerts, and playing tennis together,” she shared. When Pam decided to take up tennis as a new hobby before her 51st birthday, she had no clue it would turn into a rather competitive sport.
“I have made a lot of new friendships along the way,” she reflected. “I now participate in every league season and tournament in the area.”
For many years now, Pam has served on the Board of

Directors for the Humane Society of South MS. “I have a passion for helping animals who are in need,” she shared. Pam and her husband have two dogs named Ava and Penny. “Penny spent 80 days at HSSM before she came to live with us, and she’s been the perfect addition to our family,” she said proudly.
Pam is also active as an affiliate member of the Gulf Coast Association of Realtors and the Biloxi-Ocean Springs Association of Realtors.
Community Bank also participates in the sponsorship of many events around the Mississippi Gulf Coast each year. “Additionally, we have our own ‘Committed to Community Day’, where we spend one day working on a project for a local non-profit. Several times a year, we also offer consumer credit education courses that are open to the public,” she concluded.
Coast McMurphy McMurphyTracy Tracy
The Boomerang Effect: A Full Circle Real Estate Career
BY REBECCA WILSON
Return Flight: Her Career Path
In 2007, Tracy McMurphy obtained her real estate license and began her career in property management, first with Coldwell Banker Alphonso and later with various apartment complexes. She remained in that role until accepting a position as the builder
“I got really burnt out in property management, so selling real estate was a perfect transition since I already had my license,” Tracy explained. “My mom was also a realtor, and I remember seeing how much she enjoyed it,” she added.
Her brokerage path began at Berkshire Hathaway in 2021, where she worked until transitioning to eAgent Gulf Coast in October 2023. In just a year and a half at eAgent, Tracy has already worked her way up to the position of Broker Associate.
Revolution: Her Home Life
Much like her career path, Tracy describes her personal life as having a boomerang effect. “I was born and raised in Gulfport, MS. I tried to leave a few times but always ended up back home,” she said jokingly.
Today, Tracy lives in Gulfport with her husband, Keith, a retired Gulfport firefighter with 25 years of service, and their three fur-babies: Lilly, Cocoa, and Jack. “They are all rescues! I love helping animals whenever I can,” she admitted.
representative for Adams Homes from 2018 to 2021.
After a 14-year detour exploring different avenues in the real estate industry, Tracy’s career trajectory took a sharp turn, with burnout leading her to transition to work for a brokerage instead.
In her free time, Tracy helps support several animal rescue organizations and the homeless community as often as possible. She also enjoys riding down our local beaches in her Jeep. “I love the feeling of the top off and enjoying the weather of the MS Gulf Coast,” she described.
Rebound: Her Career Success
In addition to advancing to the Broker Associate position with eAgent Gulf Coast, Tracy has achieved several other notable successes in her career in a relatively short period.
Don’t listen to the noise. Always keep moving forward and never give up.”
For example, her 2024 brokerage stats show that she closed 19 transactions totaling approximately $5 million. She is already on track to exceed that in 2025, with projected sales of around $6 million.
Tracy has also already earned many rewards since starting her real estate journey. In 2019, she received the ‘Salesperson of the Year’ award while still working with Adams Homes. Then, when transitioning into the brokerage world, she earned the ‘Leading Edge’ award with Berkshire Hathaway for being one of their top producers. Since joining the eAgent team, she has already obtained two awards: the 2023 Top Producer (with $4.5 million in sales and 21 transactions) and the 2024 Top Producer (with $5 million in sales and 19 transactions).
Tracy looks at success on a much deeper level, though. She believes that success is a mindset and that within that mindset lies the hard work and determination to achieve accomplishments, both in business and in life.
“Success is also never giving up, no matter how hard the challenges may be. Success is when you have repeat referrals from clients you have helped because they believe in and trust you,” she shared.
Tracy finds that the most fulfilling part of her real estate career is the feeling of helping someone get into a home that they never really dreamed would be possible. “To see their happiness is everything,” she described. “I really enjoy meeting people and helping them achieve their dreams of homeownership.”
What sets Tracy apart from other realtors is her commitment to providing her clients with the smoothest experience possible— treating every deal as if it were her own. She makes it a point to ensure her clients feel supported every step of the way. “I try to make sure my clients feel like they have a true guide beside them during the whole process. I want them to know that I genuinely care about them and their real estate needs,” explained Tracy.
She brings a warm, down-toearth approach to real estate, making her clients feel both comfortable and valued during the entire process.
For any aspiring top producers, Tracy offers the following advice: “Don’t listen to the noise. Always keep moving forward and never give up.” She also emphasizes the importance of having a trusted mentor who can guide you through tough times and celebrate the victories with you along the way. “Being a realtor is not easy, but it is so fulfilling,” she admitted.
One thing Tracy truly values about her career is the support she has received from all the people who have helped her.
“I want to thank all the people along the way that believed in me and helped me get to where I am today in real estate,” she said humbly. Her next real estate goal is to acquire her personal eAgent brokerage and open her own office.
Tracy’s real estate journey has truly come full circle, much like a boomerang returning to its thrower, as she ultimately found her way to the brokerage world after years of holding her license.
