As Director of Finance at Huntsville Area Association of REALTORS®, Alan Reese is the go-to for all things money—handling everything from day-to-day financial operations to quarterly MLS billing cycles and periodic account reconciliations. With a background in accounting and an evolving appreciation for the field, Alan finds satisfaction in the order, structure, and small victories that come with keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes.
Since joining HAAR, Alan has found ways to bring more efficiency and organization to the daily workflow. Whether it’s simplifying a process or tidying up a system, he appreciates the feeling of a well-run operation. His favorite days are the unpredictable ones: events, interesting conversations, or just unexpected moments that break up the routine.
Originally from Huntsville and a proud University of North Alabama graduate, Alan enjoys weekend trips to Florence and follows sports with more passion than he cares to admit. When he’s not crunching numbers, you might find him digging through crates at local record shops. He recently dove into the world of vinyl collecting—a money-pit of a hobby, but one that hits all the right notes. Add in a quiet cup of coffee and the occasional graham cracker and you’ve got his ideal kind of downtime.
Alan’s goal is to continue sharpening his accounting skills and building consistency in his role—while keeping a sense of humor and a balanced perspective along the way.
