The housing market today can be complex for both the seller and buyer, which is why hiring an experienced real estate agent, is the key to a successful pleasant experience. Agent Ken Follis is a well-respected expert with 32 years in the industry and has weathered many up and down markets over the years.

“Leaders in the financial markets are predicting 2012 to be a robust year and very busy. There is finally a balance of inventory with prices remaining stable,” said Follis. “Now is the time for homeowners who have been sitting on the fence about selling to make their move.”

Follis, who specializes in Northern San Diego, Southern Riverside and Southern Orange counties prefers to call himself a real estate consultant. He believes part of his job is to consult with his clients on reaching their goals. Short sales continue to make up a large portion of the inventory today and Follis said that the process is becoming more streamlined and easier for the seller and buyer.

“I can help my clients navigate through the various programs being offered by the banks and government for short sales,” said Follis. “Through my experience over the years I have created strong relationships with many lenders who keep me abreast of the latest rules and regulations.”

People who choose to work with Follis can relax through the entire process knowing that as a consultant Follis will be part of the process from beginning to end. By being straightforward and honest in the process, Follis has developed longtime, repeat clients. “I have been able to develop clients, some of which have done over 20 transactions with me,” stated Follis.

For those beginning to investigate a real estate purchase or sale, Follis recommends visiting his website, www.kenfollis.com for some ideas.

Our Story…

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.
