Keith Williams and Lisa C. Follows, Brokers and Co-Founders of Willows Realty Group

The Beginning

From corporate careers to community champions

Both Keith & Lisa had prior corporate careers spanning a variety of recessions. They wanted to have more control over their own destiny, as well as have a positive influence on the destiny of others. That desire led them to real estate, and to each other.

Keith has spent over 29 years building a reputation for trust, results, and lasting client relationships across Durham Region and beyond. His philosophy is straightforward: understand what matters most to the people in front of him, solve problems, and never stop advocating for his clients.

Before real estate, Keith founded and grew Canada's largest distributor of print music, an entrepreneurial journey that shaped the business instincts and people skills he brings to every transaction today.

Lisa brings a distinguished corporate background to the team, having run her own consulting firm and worked with leading research organizations and multinational companies in the fields of think tanks, pharmaceuticals, and innovation. That experience, understanding complex markets and finding precise, strategic solutions, makes her a powerful advocate for buyers and sellers in any market condition.
