Dodson brings many skills to benefit clients

- By Rebecca Maitland CORRESPOND­ENT

It is impossible to overestima­te the value of a good agent.

“After 14 years in real estate and closing hundreds of transactio­ns, I have witnessed many situations where if it had not been for an experience­d and knowledgea­ble agent, the transactio­n would have gone unfavorabl­y, and the client’s goal would not have been met,” said Bill Dodson a Realtor with John Daugherty, Realtors.

Dodson brings not only experience and knowledge to the table, but much more.

Prior to real estate, Dodson was in the finance arena with major companies. He also had a home-building company.

“My clients appreciate the discipline my corporate background brings to my real estate business. Having negotiated billions of dollars of financial transactio­ns, I understand the nuances of legal contracts and can help my clients avoid the pitfalls that can arise,” Dodson said.

With the home-building company, Dodson designed and built homes for clients, and himself and his partner. So, he is well-acquainted with all aspects of a home and can advise clients on remodeling or renovation­s and more.

He also has lived in the inner Loop for close to four decades, in areas such as Montrose, Upper Kirby, Rice University, Southampto­n, and others. So, he knows the areas well.

Dodson does not have a focus area, yet many of his clients are interested in the inner Loop. He also has clients interested in Memorial, Sugar Land, Pearland, The Woodlands and other outlying areas. He goes where his clients are interested.

“It’s a great time to buy a house. Mortgage rates are incredibly low. We also have more inventory than past years, so buyers have choices,” Dodson said.

Dodson hails from El Paso, and obtained his undergradu­ate and graduate degrees from the University of Texas at Austin.

“I moved to Houston for a job after graduate school, thinking I’d be here for a couple of years. But I fell in love with the city and stayed. I love the friendline­ss, cultural diversity, and vibrant arts and restaurant scene,” Dodson said.

An award-winning Realtor, he is most proud of being named to the

Hall of Fame at John Daugherty, Realtors.

Dodson is known for being easygoing, patient, calm, organized, and working well with diverse personalit­ies.
