1962-1971
Davies Company Real Estate can trace its beginnings back to 1962, when Glenn Davies started Davies Real Estate in Ventura County, California. In 1969, Bill Davies, Glenn’s son, joined the firm. Bill opened his own office in the same community in 1971 as Bill Davies Real Estate, quickly adding several more agents, including his wife Phyllis Davies.

1972-1992
In 1975, Bill and Phyllis, moved their family to a farm in San Luis Obispo, where they had both attended Cal Poly SLO. Davies Company Real Estate opened an office at the corner of Broad and Pismo Streets in SLO, in the historic Anderson House. Dawna Davies, Bill and Phyllis’s daughter, worked alongside her parents between farm duties.

1993-2013
After also graduating from Willamette University in Salem Oregon in 1991, Dawna joined the family business as a licensed agent and broker. In 2000, Dawna became owner of the business. Bill formally retired from real estate practice in 2013, but he and Phyllis still enjoy visiting the office between farm work, property duties, and community involvement.

2014-Present
Today, Davies Company Real Estate is located in a barn office on the family farm property at the scenic edge of San Luis Obispo in the Edna Valley.

  • ... I particularly appreciated his patience, how he approached the work and especially his fast delivery. He always took the time to explain how he did what he did, which made it a true learning experience. Billy Estrada is a highly professional, yet down-to-earth, high tech web guy who knows his stuff. He was always available to me when I needed him, and did exceptional work the first time he was asked. I found the experience very helpful due to my work load, overall cost and time savings. I would definitely recommend Billy Estrada’s services to anyone who is searching for a smart, affordable, friendly and reliable website technician.
