WILLARD YOUNG, BROKER

 

I have lived in Lewis County all my life.  My family of 8 siblings grew up in Toledo. My sister and her husband still reside on the family farm. I worked in the woods at the age of 15. In those days a kid could actually work.  My twin sister and I Graduated from Toledo High School the year the mountain blew .My wife and I have been married for 29 years. I worked in the coal mine for a couple of years and worked for Darigold for 30 years As you can tell I am quite spontaneous.

​

My real estate interests began as a kid playing monopoly.  I could play for hours on end.  I bought a 12 acre piece of ground  at the age of 19.  I lived there with no power or water for two years in an old single wide trailer with a wood stove and gas lights.  My dad would say “they aren’t making any more land”.  I blasted stumps and cleared a home site.  I have owned several rental homes over the years working on every aspect of home construction. My favorite homes are the older craftsman style  homes. They have history.
