Alan Kaplan began his Real Estate career as an investor buying and developing properties in Arizona, California, Indiana and Canada. The passion for Real Estate and the personal experience in buying and selling multiple properties created a natural segue into helping others reach their own Real Estate goals and thus The Kaplan Team was born, rising quickly to the top of their profession, achieving Top Producer awards.
Alan is a skilled negotiator and holds the designation of Master Certified Negotiation Expert. He is great with numbers, electronics and anything that needs fixing. His prior experience in Financial Planning and in sales and training with Sony Corporation provided a solid foundation for his work as a Realtor.
He is dedicated to providing his clients with the facts, figures and details they need to make informed decisions that serve their best interests. When he is not helping clients buy and sell or flipping a property himself, you will find him walking the dogs on the beach in Cherry Grove as well as volunteering at his Church, Meals on wheels, or working out at The Aquatic Center in N Myrtle Beach. He is also an avid animal lover and life-long NY Yankees fan.
Janet (wife and licensed assistant) is the “people person”. As a young “jock” she was a National Gymnastics champion, then coach. She spent 25 years honing her sales, management and event planning skills in the travel industry with Air New Zealand and Qantas Airways. During the Kaplan’s Real Estate investing years she studied Interior Design and started a travel industry representation business. She has personally moved a lot! Across the Canada/USA border 3 times and from the West Coast to the East Coast of the USA. As a result, she has a great deal of personal empathy (and valuable advice) for clients making, not just major moves, but major decisions in their lives. Professionally, she holds a Seniors Real Estate Specialist designation as well as a Certified Probate Specialist designation and has extensive training and experience in selling Luxury Homes.
Outside of Real Estate Janet loves to cook and entertain, play pickleball and do Dog Agility with the Kaplan’s two dogs, Indy and Jake. The Kaplans have resided in Seabrook Plantation in N Myrtle Beach since 2017, moving from Redondo Beach California.
