We know San Diego

We, at Willis Allen Real Estate, have a great story that is rooted firmly in San Diego. Our business began here in 1914, which means that we’ve been in continuous operation for 109 years and counting. Our main office in La Jolla has been in the same location for over 60 years. In 1952, we opened our Rancho Santa Fe office and have kept those same doors open since. In total, we have 7 locations- all deeply embedded in our favorite San Diego County communities.

We’ve been staunch believers in “corporate responsibility” from the beginninglong before it was ever coined as a phrase. For decades, our organization has contributed time, money, and expertise to our community hospitals, children’s sports teams, and many of our city’s amazing not-for-profit enterprises.

That’s why I joined Willis Allen Real Estate in 1977. In the early 90’s, I believed in the vision so strongly that I purchased the company. Today, I proudly help our 160+ agents embrace our profession, volunteer in their communities, and provide unprecedented representation to the many buyers and sellers who have chosen to cross our threshold. We remain independently owned, and we’re fully dedicated to your success in the pursuit of the perfect home… San Diego is truly America’s Finest City, and I’m proud to be a part of it!
