About Us

We're a Local, Veteran-owned Real Estate

Company

At Allora Homes, we don’t just deal in properties — we build meaningful solutions grounded in service and technical excellence. Jake Remillard — an Army veteran who lived through the challenges of relocating during military life — launched this mission-driven company to bring stability and opportunity to service members. Marie Baginski — a licensed professional engineer with 14+ years in project management — brings an analytical, detail-oriented approach to every renovation and design decision.

We specialize in helping investors spot the right opportunities — whether that’s a high-impact fix and flip, a reliable cash-flowing property, or a long-term BRRRR investment that steadily grows with your portfolio. Every project is evaluated with precision, renovated with care, and delivered with transparency, so you can invest with confidence.

We’re not just renovating houses — we’re restoring trust, building community, and partnering for growth.

Jacob Remillard

Jake was born and raised in a small town in Maine. He grew up playing guitar in several bands, enjoying rounds of golf, and building motorcycles. After high school he worked various jobs including commercial fishing and welding. Jake would then go on to enlist in the Army as a 91E (Allied Trade Specialist) at the age of 24. Jake served 5 years as a Paratrooper in the 82nd ABN DIV and 173rd IBCT(A). After fulfilling his contract, he was honorably discharged from the military as a sergeant. Jake then began pursuing his career in real estate.

Jake is married, has two children, and a couple of dogs. They live in Fayetteville, and enjoy hiking, culinary adventures, and spending time with family and friends. Jake was fortunate enough to be stationed overseas, during that time he met people from all walks of life. This gave him a new appreciation of different cultures and struggles that people are faced with all over the world.

Jake was motivated to form Allora Homes after dealing first-hand with the difficulties that surround moving while in the military. In 2020, during one of the most intense periods of lockdown, Jake and his family had to relocate on orders to NC from Italy. They faced incredible challenges and out of pocket expenses. That experience stuck with him, and he decided to do something about it and provide service members and their families with ethical solutions in uncertain times.
