    My family recently moved to the San Diego area from the East Coast. We met Willie through a friend that moved to SD two years ago. We called Willie and days later he was sitting in our rental apartment getting to know us. He took time to listen to our long list of "needs" and "wants" and had a good idea where we would end up. But we wanted to explore many areas. Really get to know SD and its neighborhoods. So Willie indulged our wishes and we saw many houses in many neighborhoods. Guess what? We ended up right where he told us we would the first day we met him. How did he know? He listened! He wasn't trying to quick sell us. He wasn't trying to push one of his own properties. He simply got to know us. And he continued to do so during our time looking at properties. Then when we found our home he successfully helped us close the deal and at a more than fair price. If you are looking for a realtor who is patient, knowledgable, hard working, stays in regular communication and really cares about you, I would recommend Willie without reservations.

    It is hard for me to even find words to describe how amazing Willie Wilson is. You very, very rarely in life come across such dedication, drive, responsiveness and work ethic in someone and on top of that he is the friendliest, most positive and most wonderful person you could ever hope to meet and work with. I have never felt so strongly like I had someone on my team and that cared so darn much for us and that we got the house of our dreams...which he made sure we did, because he is completely fantastic at what he does. Willie made me feel at ease with the whole entire process (which was a first for us) and he was so incredibly on top of it every step of the way, at all hours. Look NO further, this guy is the real deal and you could not ask for anything more in a realtor. He cares about his clients and is the most dedicated realtor, he will get you what you want! We recommend him to all of our friends and he has gotten some of them their dream homes too! Make sure you use Willie or you will be using second best.

    I would highly recommend Willie as your next agent! He has now helped me buy and sell a home and I will definitely seek him out for future transactions. As a member of the military I have moved from coast to coast several times and he is by far the best agent I have met. Willie and his team are very knowledgeable in the local market and will save you money buying a home and make you money selling one! Best of all, he answers his phone when you call and responses to text and emails almost immediately, not something I have seen from agents I have worked with in the past. You will not go wrong with Willie and his team!

    Willie and Laurelle have become two of my favorite people. I’ve been lucky enough to have them represent me as a buyer and seller. Both transactions were amazing. Willie recently found my family the property of our dreams. I recommend the Wilson team to everyone I hear is looking for real estate.

    I had the pleasure of working with Willie on both sides of my condo. He sold me it back in 2012 and I enlisted him to sell it for me in 2017. No one knows Pacific Station better than Willie and Laurelle. It is a unique property that draws questions from buyers. Willie knows it all! Having sold all the units at least once and often multiple times, his experience with the property, financing and neighborhood is invaluable. On top of that, he's extremely responsive and helpful throughout the process. He answered my (many) questions and phone call immediately. It was my first time selling and his patience and ability to explain each step was very much appreciated.

    I would highly recommend the Wilsons and look forward to working with them again!

    Willie & his wife Laurelle were beyond amazing. Local knowledge & expertise were crucial as we purchased from Maui sight unseen. I feel he went above & beyond but in all actuality that is just the level of service all his clients receive.

    I first met Willie in 2014 and chose him to represent me because he seemed to have the right mix of knowledge, integrity and communications skills that I needed as a first time home buyer. I had many questions about the process; Willie accurately and honestly answer all my questions and treated me more like an old friend than just his client. After looking at many properties, we finally found the the perfect home in North Park a year later! The seller and his listing agent were so impressed by their interaction with Willie and I that they decided to go with my offer over a superior cash offer (heard this directly from the seller after we bumped into each other after closing).

    Fast forward to 2017, and I find myself in the market for an investment property. Again after many tours, this time with his wife/partner Laurelle, we found an amazing home in South Park. With much patience, Willie was able to negotiate a deal that I understand is unheard of in this market. We closed two weeks ago.

    I could go on talking about how great my experience has been with Willie but actions really are louder than words. Another investment opportunity unexpectedly arose that I couldn't pass up. I'm now in contract for a third purchase with Willie. Whatever the outcome of this newest transaction, I will know that Willie is giving me his best and has my interests in mind.

    Willie is more than our agent, he has been a friend and a supporter throughout our buying effort.
    We can't be happier to have Willie guiding us through our extensive and very long, and at times, difficult buying effort.
    Willie is genuine, patient, responsive, knowledgeable about the local markets, the buying and escrow processes.
    We look forward to working with Willie again in our next property purchase

    I was introduced to Willie by my cousin who had worked with Willie to buy her 1st home. Being a 1st time home buyer myself, I had many questions and concerns, however, Willie was there every step of the way. All questions and concerns were dealt with immediately and he was a calming presence throughout the whole process. We looked at a bunch of homes, lost out on a few, but ultimately were able to find the absolute perfect place. I also know that I would not have closed if it was not for Willie's recommendation to make a cover letter to submit with my offer and act fast. When we had agreed that it was the perfect place, he wasted no time in submitting an offer (prior to open houses, etc.) and negotiating on my behalf. I can go on and on, but I met Willie the realtor and, today, consider Willie my friend. I don't plan on plan on buying again anytime soon, but I do plan on hanging out with Willie whenever possible. When I do plan on buying again, I won't be looking for any new realtors.

    Buying a home is not only daunting but incredibly scary! Nothing prepares you for this major investment. Buying a car gives you a glimpse of what it would be like but nothing can compare or prepare you to buy a house that you'll call home. If you're a first-time homebuyer, choose Willie Wilson to have by your side. He and his wife, Laurelle Wilson, are the best duo in the real estate industry. They were professional, passionate, understanding, knowledgeable, supportive, and always looking out for our best interest. They never steered us wrong and always made sure they gave us positive and negatives on a house. What they thought could potentially be a long term issue or provide us a positive aspect of a house that we original thought wasn't a need or want in house searching. It is hard to find true honest character in a person and they both exude those characteristics. They want the best for their clients and provide it to their clients through their excellent customer service. Willie never made us feel like we were an annoying client. Being first-time homebuyers, you're scared, at least we were. It's a MAJOR INVESTMENT and you want to look at every minute thing about house searching, putting an offer down, what should you counter-offer, etc. Willie was on speed-dial for several weeks and we called him at all hours of the day, talking through so many scenarios, what-ifs, and whatnots. He always made us feel like his #1 client and that is the best experience we could have asked for. You won't go wrong if you choose Willie by your side.

    Willie helped us to purchase an investment property from across the country that we never saw until after the close! His professionism and extraordinary service helped us procure a property that was already in the negotiation process with another buyer. We now consider his family true friends. I would highly recommend Willie and his teammate/wife, Laurelle! There industry knowledge and personal care surpassed expectations. Kathleen and Kevin Callahan

    Willie Wilson helped me to sell my condo in Pacific Station in Encinitas in Spring of 2017. I met Willie back in 2011 when he was working for the developer of the Pacific Station complex, and I actually bought my unit from him at that time. Despite being on opposite sides of the deal, I could tell then that Willie was a top notch salesman and an excellent person to boot. We remained in contact during the intervening years and I watched as Willie proceeded to sell all of the remaining units at Pacific Station once, and sometimes twice, as the original owners often turned to him to list their condos when it was time for them to sell. The results speak for themselves. Willie's units at Pacific Station have tended to move quickly, thanks in part to his thorough knowledge of the property and his wealth of contacts among interested buyers. So obviously, if you own in Pacific Station and are thinking about selling, Willie is your man. But you probably already knew that. For those of you elsewhere in the San Diego and North County area, I would also strongly recommend Willie. He is an excellent partner to work with during the real estate transaction process. He is always friendly, courteous, professional, and prompt to respond to the many pressing matters that arise during the sales process. I would also say that he has a strong gut feeling for prospective buyers and for the real estate market in San Diego. You really can't go wrong with Willie Wilson as your real estate agent in San Diego. I give him my highest recommendation!!

    I highly recommend Willie and Laurelle Wilson as Real Estate agents. I first met them when I was purchasing my condo in Encinitas 5 years ago. They were the first ones I thought of when I decided to put that condo on the market in March 2017. Willie had the condo beautifully photographed and listed in less than a week. It sold the first weekend which I attribute to his knowledge and contacts in the area, expert skills with people, and his honest and sincere character. Willie was always available to answer my questions or reassure my uncertainty with the process of home selling. It was a very smooth experience and I couldn't be more pleased!!
  • zkielich

    Willie succeeded where other agents couldn't. Before meeting him, my wife and I had been looking for a home for a year and a half. We had put in close to 10 offers on home and nothing seemed to come through. After working with Willie, we had locked down the perfect home immediately. The process was smooth--he let us know deadlines for all items up front. We can't recommend Willie enough, and tell all of our friends who are looking to buy a home.
  • user466352

    I chose Willie and Laurelle to sell my house and I would do it all over again. Their professional approach and quick response time when things needed to get done was top notch. I would recommend them to anyone.

    Working with Willie has been an absolute pleasure. While searching for our dream home, Willie listened to our requirements and did a lot of research and "filtering" to ensure we did not waste time viewing properties that didn't meet our criteria. When we did tour properties, Willie always took note of our feedback to further refine his recommendations. His experience as a builder, provided us with invaluable feedback while viewing properties. We were able to quickly estimate risk/reward based on the context he provided about potential cost/severity of any upgrades or issues.

    His deep knowledge about the process combined with a winning track record of dealmaking makes Willie a very effective negotiator. We were always confident because Willie fully respected and supported our positions. Despite abundant setbacks from our bank and us being overseas while closing, Willie always remained positive, flexible, and persistent. Working across 16 timezones, Willie leveraged technology to get paperwork completed and agreements executed. Ultimately, he pushed it across the line and we got our new home.

    For us, Willie has made the process of purchasing a home bearable - dare I say, efficient. His experience, resourcefulness, and integrity gives him a distinct advantage among agents in the San Diego area. I would not hesitate to recommend Willie to all our friends and family - in fact he is currently working with both.

    Willie is by far the best realtor. I've worked with many realtors in selling and buying investment properties and I know how hard it is to find an honest, competitive, competent realtor. Willie is that guy -- he has high integrity and all the skills/knowledge needed to close a deal successfully and smoothly. Willie has done an amazing job representing me for three transactions. He was consistently available, even in those late hours, to make sure my offers were competitive. In addition, his generous rates can't be topped by anyone! Also, his demeanor is so pleasant, uplifting, and patient. I fully endorse Willie Wilson.

    Worked with Willie to buy my first home. Great experience in a multi-bid situation. Willie offerred great adivce and we ultimately got our offer accepted as a result. Would highly recommend.
  • messick8

    Willie was a phenomenal asset, expert and friend during the whole process for us. He always delivered service and guidance over and above what was required. And, most importantly, he was always a friend and a pleasure to deal with in a very stressful process. Willie is simply a five star performer.
  • chadandchantal

    Willie made the daunting process of purchasing our first property so much easier to understand and manage. My husband and I actually went through the search entirely online as we live outside the U.S., and Willie was there to personally vet our shortlist with videos he took on the premises and honest, incredibly insightful and helpful commentary. Once we began the buying process, he was there to explain many things we didn't understand and even help nudge the lender when necessary. He is now helping us get the property rental-ready, doing everything from soliciting quotes to personally meeting and vetting potential vendors. Particularly given our unique circumstances, living in another country, we literally could not have done all of this without Willie. I recommend him without hesitation to anyone who wants an honest, good-natured coach through the home buying and renting process!
  • rodgers2983

    After three transactions with Willie I can say he is an outstanding professional. He has helped up buy a home, then sell it and buy another. Easy to work with, and his personal integrity was evident in each transaction. I highly recommend him!

    Willie was amazing to work with! We were first time home buyers in a very competitive market and Willie stayed positive and with us through the ups and downs of homebuying to the bitter end! He was personable, made himself available to us and was extremely knowledgable! We won't use anyone else going forward. Awesome experience, great guy!
  • Lauren.Penley

    Willie was a friend who we learned quickly exemplifies confidence in the real-estate industry. We were confident that he had our best interests in focus when looking for the right house to fit our family goals. He and his wife worked closely to ensure all our calls were answered, negotiate with the sellers, set up inspectors that were trustworthy, and reassure us with years of knowledge in the industry.
  • RyanGomez02

    Willie is by far the best agent I have ever worked with. He made the process of buying extremely easy and dealt with any issues I had with the seller immediately and professionally. I simply won't work with anyone else after the job he did.

    My family recently moved to the San Diego area from the East Coast. We had read online prior to moving that finding a home in the SD real estate market was very difficult. Not only was inventory low, but there are so many different neighborhoods with so many different personalities. How would we find a neighborhood that was "right" for us? We met Willie through a friend that moved to SD two years ago. He used Willie and had a good experience. We called Willie and days later he was sitting in our rental apartment getting to know us. He took time to listen to our long list of "needs" and "wants" and had a good idea where we would end up. But we wanted to explore many areas. Really get to know SD and its neighborhoods.
