-McGraw is latest Willis Allen Realtor to show leadership savvy-

La Jolla, Calif. (Jan. 30, 2012) – Willis Allen Real Estate announced today that Coronado-based Realtor Carol McGraw was installed as the 2012 President of the Coronado Real Estate Association (CREA). Willis Allen’s Zachary Todaro, a Coronado native, was also installed as a member of the CREA board of directors.

Interestingly, the CREA installment was conducted by another Willis Allen Realtor, Coronado Branch Manager Leslie Kilpatrick. It is one of Kilpatrick’s duties as San Diego Association of Realtors (SDAR) Vice President. McGraw and Kilpatrick were also recently appointed to the California Association of Realtors (CAR) board of directors. One of their responsibilities in that capacity is to represent San Diego Realtors at a series of statewide meetings.

“This situation exemplifies Willis Allen Real Estate’s commitment to leadership in the San Diego real estate community and beyond,” says Willis Allen CEO & President Andrew E. Nelson. “We are extremely proud of Carol, Leslie and Zachary for sharing their professionalism, integrity and insight with the greater real estate community.”

McGraw has 17 years of real estate experience, which started in Annapolis, Md., where she focused on historic and waterfront properties. She brought that experience with her to Coronado when she and her husband moved to the seaside community in 2007.

“My philosophy has always been to provide the best real estate service, period,” says McGraw. “I take pride in the large number of referrals I receive from the clients I’ve served. It’s the highest compliment a Realtor can get.”

Our Story…

By on January 27, 2012 in News, Real Estate, Real Estate Agents, San Diego, Willis Allen

Willis Allen Real Estate’s local roots are as deep as the Pacific Ocean that laps at San Diego’s pristine shores. Independent and family-owned, we have been guiding clients in the home-ownership process since we were founded 95 years ago by an excellent businessman, Frederick L. Brown. He built the company on timeless values that are as important to our clients today as they were in 1914–superior service, knowledgeable agents and ethical business practices.

In 1924 our company helped found the Real Estate Broker’s Association of La Jolla, created to promote industry ethics and professionalism. In 1940 the company’s namesake, Willis Allen, Sr., bought the business, changed the company name and grew with the city. Under his strategic stewardship the company opened its second location in Rancho Santa Fe in 1952 and expanded to Del Mar in 1973.

In 1981 Willis Allen’s current president and CEO, Andrew E. Nelson took the helm. A former Naval officer who flew in the back seat of F-4 Phantom Fighter Jets, Nelson drew on that leadership experience and training to help the company flourish, even in trying times. Under his leadership the company, which he bought outright in 1995, has more than doubled in size. Willis Allen Real Estate opened a Point Loma office in 1988, a Coronado branch in 2002 and in 2004 expanded to revitalized Downtown San Diego. Most recently Willis Allen Real Estate expanded north and east, adding a Fallbrook location in 2007 and acquiring a branch office in Carmel Valley in 2008.
