An Oklahoma native, Wally began his real estate career in 1987 after owning and operating a mobile disc jockey company called Mobile Music Unlimited. He and 2 partners founded the company in 1979. By the early 2000s, that business had performed at over 5,400 events with 5 mobile disc jockey units. He owned and operated this business while he earned a BBA from the University of Oklahoma in 1984. Wally was convinced in 1987 to pursue a career in real estate by his longtime friend and real estate mogul, Gene McKown.
Gene and his son Vernon now own Ideal Homes, one of the largest home builders in Oklahoma. Surviving the recession of the late 1980s, Wally continued to disc jockey as many as 3 evenings each week as he built his real estate career. In 1992, he and Vernon partnered to buy and operate their own national real estate franchise. Wally met his future wife, Cindy, at a real estate top-producers summit in Cancun, Mexico. Cindy was a native of Los Angeles California and started her real estate career the same year that Wally did. Relocating here from California, Wally and Cindy established The Kerr Team; dedicating their resources and vast real estate knowledge to serving home sellers and buyers in the Oklahoma City metro. As the team's sales grew exponentially, the Kerr Team Real Estate company was borne in 2009.
With over 3,500 home sellers and buyers served, Wally is a published real estate author, and coaches but it also mentored at the international level. This elite, international group of agents meets and collaborates to share the newest and most innovative marketing ideas and strategies that greatly benefit both home sellers and home buyers. He was awarded with the program's highest recognition, the "Top Dog" award, in 2015. This group includes membership of many of the most successful real estate leaders and agents from North America.
Today and for every home game since 1992, Wally has been the MC for the official Sooner Club tailgate prior to each home football game at the University of Oklahoma. Friends with Joe Castigione, Joe trusts Wally in having fun with the huge crowd of 4,500 to 6,000 "rabid" football fans. Wally carries a cordless microphone and entertains the large crowd with trivia, coaches interviews and fan fun. In addition, Kerr Team Real Estate is a big supporter and donates generously to the Children's Hospital Foundation. In 2018, Wally MC'ed the annual CHF "Dancing for a Miracle" event for about 1000 guests. Finally, our charity work continues in the fight to find a cure for Parkinson's disease. Huge supporters of local OB/GYN Nicole Jarvis, the Kerr's have donated over $40,000 since 2012. Dr. Jarvis has two twin sons that she raises on her own, along with the strong support of her parents. She is on the Michael J Fox Parkinson's team, and her local gala has raised over $1,000,000 for Parkinson's research.
Wally became a Rotarian in 2009 and is a member of Norman's oldest Rotary Club that had it's 100th anniversary in 2018. Ron Burton, former Rotary International President in 2016, is a member of the same club.
Now operating multiple offices in the OKC metro area, Kerr Team Real Estate currently averages real estate closed volume in excess of $90 million annually.
Wally and Cindy have two sons and three grandchildren, all living in Oklahoma.
