Andy Nelson Email & Phone Number

I grew up in Del Mar, California and always planned to live and raise my family in San Diego. After serving in the United States Navy as a flight officer in the F-4 Phantom, during the Vietnam conflict, I returned to California in 1972. With some tools and the help of my friends, I built a circular home in Mammoth Lakes, a mountain home about 400 miles north of San Diego, which I still own today. This enjoyable experience, coupled with my natural affinity for people and a drive to succeed, led me to pursue a career in residential real estate. In 1977, I began working for Willis Allen Real Estate and in 1980, was named president. In 1995, I purchased all remaining shares in the company from Willis Allen Sr. Willis Allen Real Estate is the largest independently operated real estate company in Southern California. In 1914, the firm began matching buyers and sellers in La Jolla, then a sleepy enclave. Today Willis Allen Real Estate serves residential clients with 8 strategically located offices and 200 agents boasting an average of 16 years of experience, an industry best for average sales volume per agent and the highest number of sales per agent than any other company in San Diego. My wife Tracy and I have three adult kids; Drew and his wife Cindy; Tim; and Lauren Gray Nelson.
