Allan Gutkin knew from an early age he wanted a career in real estate. Raised in north-central Phoenix and having attended Madison Rose Lane Elementary School and Central High School, he has always thought of Phoenix as home. Allan graduated from Stanford University in 1984 with distinction and from the Stanford Law School in 1987. Following a judicial clerkship in his hometown, Allan practiced real estate law in San Francisco with Heller, Ehrman.
He later returned to Phoenix to work with Quarles and Brady. Then in 1993, Allan became an Arizona Assistant Attorney General, representing ADOT in condemnation proceedings. Allan returned to real estate transactional practice in 1996 with Luce, Forward, Hamilton and Scripps in San Diego. As a real estate attorney, Allan represented many national homebuilders including D.R. Horton, Ryland Homes, Pulte Homes and Barratt American.
With years of experience and a strong desire to bring life back to the city he grew up in, Allan founded JAG Development in 1999.
