Willis Allen Real Estate

San Diego is truly home to Willis Allen Real Estate. More than 90 years ago, when only 45,000 people lived here, Frederick L. Brown recognized opportunity and began selling real estate. His company, now Willis Allen Real Estate, remains independent and family owned. We're older than the San Diego Zoo, the Coronado Bridge, and the Del Mar Racetrack. We know San Diego better than any other Realtor possibly could. After all, San Diego is our home.
