Someone who has weathered many storms and can guide you through the complexities of the market, which can change in the blink of an eye.
For many of you buyers, the San Francisco Mid-Peninsula area will not merely be a place to live but will become a cherished part of your lives, enriching you and your families over the years. Choosing the right locations demands thorough knowledge of the local markets and the expertise to match your wants, needs, and desires with the right home in an area you love.
If you are selling, then buying here in the mid-peninsula, or moving to the next phase of your lives outside the area, getting the highest possible price for your home becomes our shared goal. Ensuring the coordination and timing of the sale of one home and the purchase of another will make the transaction as stress-free as possible.
Whether you are buying, selling, or both, our Initial Consultation is the process we use to listen carefully and then understand your goals, wants, and needs for your new home journey.

Meet Willoughby & Alan
Willoughby Thorn and Alan Duncan have two very different ways of looking at things, but that’s just what makes them so successful in their marriage and as a leading real estate team serving San Mateo and the surrounding Mid-Peninsula communities. They bring the perfect blend of personalities, skills, and traits to create exceptional results. They say opposites attract. Willoughby & Alan would be inclined to agree. Their contrasting names even hint at the fact that they are two very different individuals. Yet, the differences in their personalities and approaches are balanced by their love for one another, their shared personal values, and a similar thirst for knowledge. It truly is the Perfect Blend.

WELCOME TO THE SAN FRANCISCO MID-PENINSULA AREA
CENTRALLY LOCATED
VIBRANT
FAMILY ORIENTED
"The Heart of the Peninsula"
Moving is a BIG DEAL, let alone buying or selling your home! It can be overwhelming with all the things to do. You want the experience to be easier to get where you are going. That is why we love what we do. We can clarify and simplify the process and with a well thought out plan, make it more enjoyable for you. We have helped many clients buy and sell in – San Mateo, Burlingame, Belmont, San Carlos and Redwood City. Many of our clients buy here because one works in San Francisco, the other in Silicon Valley and the commute time is split. Many buy here because the towns are cozy and love the walking & biking trails close by to relax after a full day on the job. Of course, there are the charming downtowns with shopping and cafes & restaurants where locals connect. Each town is different with different appeals. That’s why we’re here ourselves! The Mid-Peninsula is the narrower Peninsula, surrounded by water -- where the breeze is lovely, yet short on land. Homes are remodeled instead of new ones being built. That’s why our towns are cozier & more intimate. We know how to thrive in this environment when it comes to buying & selling homes. And we will help you thrive too!

How Can We Help You?
Willoughby brings to real estate mental toughness and determination. Being an athlete with athletic injuries she learned the trait of never giving up, turning over every rock to find a solution. She will fight for you to get you what you want. Through her training & discipline as a chemist she learned the importance of careful procedure and focused attention.

She is on your team to make your dreams come true. Alan truly drives results. His dynamic role as a consulting project manager in "hi-tech" from the mid-eighties through the '90s, coupled with his exceptionable ability to engage stakeholders—from front-line staff to top management—was pivotal in successfully working with Fortune 1000 companies across the Greater Bay Area.

What Willoughby & Alan's Clients say About their Professionalism:
The offer processes we went through were all testaments to your sound knowledge and expertise - in hindsight you were spot on in all instances, helped us craft optimal bidding strategies, and ultimately guided us to a situation where we ended up with a house, we love without feeling like we overpaid. We both wanted to extend a word of gratitude for your hard work over the last couple of months. We really value how flexible you have been with our schedules and how generous you have been with your time. -- Mike & Lena
We never felt you were a realtor; instead, you were our coach and mentor in the whole buying process. At times you suggested we take a break because of all the stress and effort of buying a home - but we went ahead anyway because of our trust in you. To you and Willoughby, it did not matter if we bought on the low end or high end of our price range; you wanted us to get the right home. It was never about your commission. It was about us, our dreams, our family, and the home we wanted - and now have! -- Evan & Sheila
In the very beginning, we were impressed because you "interviewed" us -- asked us what we wanted and about our childhood homes. This gave us clarity to recognize our next home when we first saw it! ... When you sold our old home, your marketing was exceptional! Through it all, you were responsive, timely, organized, straight forward & made it easy for us. Because of that, you instilled confidence & trust in our relationship with you. In negotiations, you clearly understood the other parties & knew how to work with them to get what we wanted. -- Derek & Stacey
We moved into our first home this weekend and we couldn't be more excited! We wanted to send you a note and thank you once again for all your hard work. Because of you we now have our dream home. You were prompt in responses, quick when we made our offer, and we LOVED the beginning -- your "Initial Consultation". That's the reason we went with you. You listened, helped us determine our affordability range, & gave us strategies for negotiation, and got us the home we loved! -- Mike & Amy
What a team! With Willoughby’s intuitive perception and Alan’s analytical skills, we had the benefit of seeing the situation from all sides – it gave us confidence & peace of mind. -- Mark & Jenny
