Jeff Willis - TREC Lic. #588042
Owner / Broker & CRP
I've called Corpus Christi my home since 1980. This is a great city with so much to offer! I met my best friend while in high school and married her a couple of years later. We planted roots in Corpus Christi and have never looked back. I had the honor of being part of the Corpus Christi Fire Department for over 25 years. My time there taught me how to work in stressful and demanding conditions. I had the pleasure of spending the last 12 years of my career as a Battalion Chief. During this time I honed my skills in command and control as well as project and personal management. I received my real estate license in 2008 and my brokers license in 2010. We opened our office in 2011 and have been blessed with a wonderful business. I love everything about the real estate business. As a listing agent I have helped hundreds of folks sell their homes. We operate a large professional property management company. Currently we manage in excess of 340 homes. We would be honored to be your Corpus Christi Property Management company.
Amy Willis - TREC Lic.# 508874
Owner / Realtor
I’ve proudly called Corpus Christi home for over 45 years, raising our family here. I have a deep love for this community, coastal and waterfront living along the Coastal Bend. Growing up in an oil industry family allowed me to live in many places around the world, shaping my appreciation for thoughtful design, comfort, and what truly makes a house feel like home. Also giving me a broad perspective on what makes a home truly comfortable, functional, and welcoming.
With over 20 years of real estate experience, Jeff and I have built our business on honesty, integrity, and hard work. My passion for design and livable spaces allows me to help clients find homes that not only fit their needs but reflect their lifestyle—whether it’s a waterfront retreat or a coastal classic. Whether it is a starter home, a retirement retreat, a Military move or an investment property, I believe my years of experience helps make wise decisions. My desire is always to assist clients in finding a home where they can create joy, memories and a life they love.
