Broker/Owner & Economist
Greetings everyone, I am Kareem Tannous and I am delighted to assist you in selling your current property and finding the perfect mortgage for your next purchase. Let me share a little about myself. Originally from the suburbs of Philadelphia, I relocated to Jacksonville, Florida in 1998 and recently returned to the Philly area in 2020. I obtained my BBA from Jacksonville University in 2010, followed by an MBA in Accounting & Finance in 2012. In 2018, I earned a DBA in International Business from Walden University, and most recently, in 2022, I completed my MS in Applied Economics & Predictive Analytics from the University of North Dakota.
During my high school years in the early to mid-90s, I gained my first corporate experience by auditing checks for a national automotive company in Horsham, PA over the summer before my senior year. Following that, I joined a regional mortgage company based in Conshohocken, PA the following summer. Starting in the post-closing department, I gradually worked my way up the mortgage industry ladder, learning valuable insights from various brokers, lenders, and bankers. Eventually, I became an originator and established my first mortgage company in 2004.
Although my initial mortgage business did not survive the financial crisis in 2009, I secured a position in the mortgage operations department of one of the largest banks in the US. Initially, I worked as a mortgage processor, but later advanced to the role of project manager for the department. While supporting the operations teams, I also took on the responsibility of creating, planning, and executing new organizational and department goals and objectives through operational and financial analysis of the mortgage process.
As technology transformed the mortgage industry, I made a seamless transition back into mortgage originations and real estate sales. This led me to obtain my real estate broker license while maintaining my mortgage broker license, enabling me to establish Jacksonville Realty & Financial Services, Inc. In 2022, we rebranded as Alliance Realty & Financial Services, Inc. to allow for state, regional, and national growth, now licensed as multistate mortgage and real estate brokers, headquartered in Jacksonville, FL.
Please take advantage of our resources, especially our market reports and property valuations features. Thank you again for taking some time to read about me as I look forward to our new relationship to help you attain your mortgage and real estate goals. Fun fact is that while I have been in this business, I also was a professor and taught for various universities, in and out of the United States.
