They say a picture's worth a thousand words, but to Sue Amlin, Carli Amlin Dean, and Brian Amlin, family photos are simply priceless. Perhaps that's because when they look back at the myriad of albums assembled through the years, they don't just see snapshots of moments frozen in time. Instead, they see a cherished record of a family tradition rich in pride, integrity, and good old-fashioned hard work.

In fact, the Amlin tradition is not only shaping the lives of Sue, Carli, and Brian, but it's making a positive impact in the lives of people throughout the Miami Valley as well. The team takes pride in community involvement and donates time to the American Cancer Society Relay for Life, American Heart Association, MS Walk, the Tipp City Chamber of Commerce, Tipp Monroe Community Services, and Tipp City Schools. They also relish time for cherished hobbies: Sue enjoys creating and sharing home-grown flower arrangements, Carli plays competitive tennis, and Brian shares his culinary talents with family and friends.

The Power of Tradition

Nowhere is the power of the Amlin tradition more alive than in Sue, Carli, and Brian's success as one of the Miami Valley's leading real estate teams. "If what you're doing is not making a difference in someone's life, what's the point?" asks Sue. "Together, we take great pride in not just helping people buy or sell a home, but in making a positive impact on the lives of local families." This kind of personal care and dedication is what The Amlin Advantage is all about.

The Roots of Success

It started with Sue's parents. Her father was not only a leading salesperson himself, but was awarded the Purple Heart in World War II. Her mother was a well-loved and respected clerk. People appreciated and remarked on the exceptional care and attention she gave every customer she served. Together, Sue's parents instilled their children with the values, integrity, and work ethic necessary to succeed in the competitive world of real estate. It's an advantage Sue has since passed on to Carli and Brian as well.

The Perfect Role Model

"I couldn't have asked for a better role model," notes Carli. "My mother showed me that a woman can be anything she wants to be in life if she's willing to work hard and treat people with the kindness and respect they deserve." As a result, Carli went on to graduate from Otterbein College with degrees in both organizational and speech communication before returning home to join forces with her mother.

Growing the Team

The Amlin Advantage Team added another dimension when Sue's son Brian joined the company in 2002. Brian, a graduate of Johnson and Wales University with a degree in business, has drawn on the customer service lessons taught by his mother and grandparents as he helps the team represent clients and market listings.

Breaking New Ground

Together, the family is putting The Amlin Advantage to work by breaking new ground in service. While Sue brings over 29 years of sales and marketing experience to the team, Carli and Brian's energy and use of cutting-edge technology allows them to offer clients the best of both worlds when it comes to reaching their goals. As a result, clients benefit from the passion of a family team who never settles for anything less than their best efforts on behalf of the people they serve -- quite an advantage indeed.
