Fred’s real estate journey began in 1974 selling real estate ads for the Los Angeles Times, earning his license by 1976. After a successful newspaper career, he returned full-time to real estate in 2011 and quickly rose to the top—thanks to early adoption of video, social media, and digital-first marketing.

He and his wife, Dawn Van Allen, specialize in historic homes, especially those in Pomona’s historic district neighborhoods. They’ve been champions of professional staging, storytelling, and marketing before it was the norm. Their open houses often include light lunch, gift bags, and priceless local knowledge—an experience, not just a showing.
