Chris Allen Realty Staff:
Chris Heine Jr
President / Broker
I was born into the Real Estate industry. I am a third-generation builder and I have a passion for building homes that customers will love
Both my father and grandfather were in the building industry and passed their talents onto me. I was born and raised in Palm Beach County, and I grew up watching my father build many communities throughout the county. From an early age I knew that I wanted to follow in my father’s footsteps and I feel great pride and commitment to my community to continue the work that my father did so many years ago. Wanting to fine-tune my craft, I attended Florida Atlantic University to receive my bachelor’s degree while working and learning different sectors of the Real Estate industry. After graduating college, I became a licensed Real Estate agent and a short time later a licensed General Contractor. This set me on the track of owning my own business to provide buyers a great home.
After several years of experience with a successful business in both new construction and home remodeling, I felt it was time to take the business and my abilities to the next level. I launched Chris Allen Homes and Chris Allen Realty after becoming a licensed Real Estate Broker.
Chris Allen Homes is a company that focuses specifically on building a high-quality product for our buyers. Chris Allen Homes has found much success and steady growth with many satisfied customers across Palm Beach County. With over 150 homes built in the last 8 years, the experience of knowing what a customer wants is evident. We focus on identifying a property and building a product that is the highest and best use at the time. Once the project is complete, the new owners can make it their home no matter their intended use.
Chris Allen Realty focuses on servicing our clients’ needs in every aspect of real estate. Whether you are looking to buy or sell a property, Chris Allen Realty will help you through the process. Being a real estate investor myself, I know that there are a lot of emotions involved in each transaction and the company strives to provide the best experience for each client.
Goldstar Mortgage Financial Group focuses on providing the best customer service and helping clients obtain a home loan. We strive to keep clients updated and educated throughout the home loan process.
My family and I continue to reside in Palm Beach County and real estate is not only my career, but it is also my hobby.
Jeff Hirsch
Executive VP / Sales Associate
I am originally from New York, but have called Palm Beach County my home for over 30 years. Since graduating from college, I have worked in the hospitality industry and therefore understand how important meeting the customers’ needs are. I am an ambitious, sales oriented professional with over 20 years of progressive sales, marketing, and service experience. First, as a hotel manager for a national chain in the greater West Palm Beach area where my main focus was always providing the customers with excellent customer service. Later I took my talents to Wyndham Vacation Ownership where I worked along with Sales Department to ensure that customers’ wishes where met on a daily basis.
In 2011, I became a licensed real estate agent. I have worked with both buyers and sellers and focus on making my clients’ real estate experience as pleasant and easy as possible. I specialize in residential real estate and have had great success with helping my clients find their dream homes, which is a result of being familiar with the Palm Beach County communities and my commitment to my clients. I make sure that when I am representing a seller, I perform enough research and am thoroughly familiar with the surrounding areas to ensure the client is getting the most for their home.
In 2017, I accepted the role of Execute Vice President of Chris Allen Enterprises. I work to ensure that our agents are trained with customer service as their #1 goal. We pride ourselves on the products we build and also on providing the best representation for all Real Estate Transactions.
When I am not working with real estate, I enjoy spending time with my wife and 3 young children. And during football season, I will be watching my beloved Giants!

I enrolled in local courses and decided to pursue a full-time career in real estate. I am highly recommended by my past clients for which I am very grateful.
I enjoy assisting clients with the purchase of their dream home. This process starts with a buyers consultation in which I analyze the clients needs. My clients and I work together to select and view local properties and assist through the navigation of an offer to the closing table and beyond.
I also enjoy working with clients to sell their houses. It starts with building relationships with my clients during the first meeting with them. I always give the exposure that each house deserves, from marketing systems to open houses to the public and staging of the house since first impressions count!
As a licensed real estate professional, I am a member of the Association of Realtors. I am knowledgeable and have insight to the housing market.

Larry Tynes
Sales Associate
I am a real estate professional and top producing agent in the West Palm Beach Area. I have lived in the Palm Beaches since 2010 and call it my home. I enjoy the people, weather, culture and the many outdoor activities available
to me.
In my practice of real estate, I am well known for great service, consistent communication, strong attention to detail and ensuring a positive experience for all parties in a transaction: buyers, sellers and cooperating agents. Many other agents don’t share my same paradigm which has made it a priority for me to ensure a better way. My approach to any transaction is, ” it’s all about the people, not the agent “. I know what it means to communicate, and I know what it takes to successfully close a transaction
making the buying or selling positive and seamless.
I’m not number one, YOU are.

When they see that I am here for them and am going to walk them through it all, it really eases the otherwise stressful nature of real estate.

Moving to Florida was the absolute best decision my family and I made, so I am extremely passionate about helping other families make the move to the Sunshine State. I’m a licensed realtor in both Florida and Connecticut and an expert in relocation. I graduated from Southern Connecticut State University with a BA in Elementary Education. It was then that I realized my love for helping and educating people, so I shifted my career into Real Estate.

I look forward to working with you!

Jonathan Robles
Sales Associate
People say that when they meet Jonathan Robles for the first time, they are instantly drawn to him due to his likeability and no-fuss demeanor.
Jonathan’s unflappability and calm reassurance were honed by years of concierge service at the luxurious five-star rated Ritz-Carlton hotel, where he received many accolades for outstanding customer service. He was the person who would anticipate a person’s needs before they knew what they needed, and then deliver what was required with seemingly effortless grace.
Today homebuyers and sellers rely on Jonathan to deliver the results they expect from a first-class agent. His background includes several years of construction experience, and this knowledge adds another advantage for his clients. He’s not only able to recommend potential renovations but also advise on costs and timelines for the upgrades.
Jonathan is not one to let the grass grow under his feet; he is an ‘Agent On The Move’ always finding new ways to add services and benefits to his clients, such as acquiring the CHLMS (Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist) designation endorsed by the Institute for Luxury Home Marketing.
As a resident of Palm Beach County, Jonathan knows the local market like the back of his hand, and much of his business is by referral. He believes everything in life has a solution, and it always helps to stay positive no matter how stressful the situation is.
He is fluent in Spanish and loves giving back to the community.
