Let’s start with the frame work … My dad was in the oil-field supply business and grew up in Houston, on the north side. His father grew up in Houston. I know I’m a third-generation Houstonian, maybe fourth. My parents laid a wonderful foundation for me with people. I was an only child, so I grew up with my parents’ friends. They took me everywhere. I wouldn’t trade my childhood for anything in the world. My mother was one of the original presidents of The Women’s Institute. They were both great people, and I can tell some wonderful stories about the Eddy Scurlocks, the John Mecoms, the Jim Wests. My mother was in a poker group, back in the ‘50s, with Alice West, who was married to “Silver Dollar” Jim West. I grew up on Del Monte. I went to St. John’s School for the first nine years of my schooling. I’d walk home, and whenever they were playing poker at the West house, I’d go over there because we didn’t have a swimming pool. Well, sometimes Mr. West would be there, and he’d throw silver dollars in the pool for me to dive for. And I still have about 12 silver dollars that I got out of that pool, in my safe; most of them date back to the late 1800s. They’d play poker once a month, and I can remember Mrs. West’s driver would bring my mother home. Only five houses down the street! But they’d drive her home because it was about 3 o’clock in the morning when the poker game ended.

when and how did you first become invoLved in reaL estate? what was the big break?At a cocktail party. It was for the youngest son of some close friends of my parents who was being ordained as a Catholic priest. There was this man there named Jimmy Jax, who was an ex-Rice football player. Jimmy had a very small, residential real estate operation near the corner of Buffalo Speedway and Richmond. We started talking, and two weeks later, he made me an offer. I said, “Jimmy, I really think this is what I want to do, because I

love architecture, I love people.” So I said, “I will accept the position with you, with the understanding that I’ll be knocking on your door, probably within a year, wanting to buy into the company” ... John Daugherty, Realtors, opened in 1967, so we’re 42 years old. And it sounds funny, but I haven’t sold a house since 1975. I quite selling because I knew if I were competing with my sales associates, I would take the cream and give them the leftovers. I quit selling to start building my organization. And it’s worked well.

most fascinating properties you’ve soLd?

What we call the Texas White House is one. Alfred Finn was the architect, and it was completed in ‘27 for Ross Sterling, on Morgan’s Point in Kemah. It cost $1.4 million then. I think the Sterling estate gave it to Boys Harbor, and for a long time it was [called] Boys Harbor. Paul Barkley bought it in the late ‘50s. He was a friend of my parents. He was a big Lakewood Yacht Club man. We sold it through his estate, and we’ve sold it twice since. Then on Longfellow Lane in Shadyside is the D. D. Peden home. This was the first house, to the best of my knowledge, that New York architect Harrie Lindeberg’s firm came down here to design. Lindeberg sent this young architect named John Staub down to oversee it, and he ended up staying in Houston. We sold it last year, and it

was the most expensive estate sold in Houston in 2008. And there’s Rienzi. Well, Carroll and Harris Masterson, who owned Rienzi, tried for years, back in the late ‘60s and early ‘70s, to give Rienzi to the museum. The homeowners in Homewood, which is Lazy Lane, would not allow it. So then the Mastersons decided to sell the house, and we put it on the market. And, finally, Homewood residents came around and said, “Yes, you can give it to the museum,” and we took it off the market. So we never sold it, but having these brochures prompted a big list price. Then the J. Robert Neal home on Lazy Lane … It’s a John Staub–designed house and has always been one of my favorites. John Mecom Sr. bought it around 1960, and we sold it after Mrs. Mecom passed away. The Neal family brought all the materials and everything from France, and it’s just a magnificent home. We sold it to David Dewhurst. And then we sold it for David, to John and Terri Havens who live in it now.

favorite architect?For residential of a particular era, John Staub. He brought Europe to Houston. He was just a wonderful man. And we have sold every Staub house in Houston, to the best of my knowledge, that has ever come on the market, at least one time. His proportions are great. His ceiling heights. His fireplaces are the best. If you study Staub’s fireplaces — I’ve built 32 fireplaces in my life — his fireplaces always look like they are taller than they are wide, but it’s an optical illusion. They weren’t short and squatty like a lot of fireplaces today.

houston’s had its share of scandaLous sociaLs. teLL us the houses where scandaLs occurred. Candace Mossler’s house on Willowick. Candace lived there forever, then we sold this house about four times. Probably the most famous person who’s lived in it

since Candace Mossler was Frank Lorenzo. People that have been around a long time in Houston will remember Candace. She and her nephew were accused of killing her husband, Jacques, in Florida. And they got off. I knew her very well because her daughter, Rita, was a friend of mine. I’ll never forget going into the house right after the estate was getting ready to sell it, and I walked into her bedroom. There was a door that opened into the hall, and it had four or five deadbolts on it, and then a door going into her bathroom had four or five deadbolts on it. So, she must have been a very paranoid person. And we’ve sold the Dr. John Hill and Joan Robinson Hill home on Kirby Drive, through their estate. Joan died, or was killed, in the upstairs bedroom, and John was killed by an intruder in the foyer. I remember Joan was very active in the Pin Oaks Charity Horse Show. Everybody loved her.

personaL taLismans?I like red ties and I like Hermès ties. And my shirts are Hamilton custom shirts.

traveL obsession?I love Europe. I mean, I’m not a Far East guy at all. I just love the architecture and the way of life in Europe. I love Spain. I remarried five years ago [to Debbie], and we were married in Barcelona, in honor of my mother, whose family came from Barcelona. We were married in a beautiful kind of 15th- or 16th-century castle, like an estate,

in town. I’d love to live in it. It’s a beautiful city. You could spend a couple of days there and not see it all. Oh, the architecture by Gaudí. We spent so much time looking at Gaudí’s works.

do you reLax?I have a second home on Lake Conroe. And, I started spending more time there the last several years, and I just love it. Yes, that’s my thing; I’ve gotta have the water. I love gardening. I have 90 tomato plants on Lake Conroe. We’ve got squash and lettuce, and some years we grow corn, and some years we grow watermelons, but it’s mostly tomatoes.

what are you compeLLed to coLLect? I love antiques. I’ve been collecting since my senior year in high school. I still have the first antique I bought. I collect inkwells. I started years ago. I go back and forth and take some of them home and bring some of them to the office. And I’m a boat person. I’ve collected some old wood Chris-Crafts. I have a 1937, 19-foot Chris-Craft Runabout. And then I have a 1953, 22-foot Chris-Craft Custom Sedan. I call that my Humphrey Bogart boat. It’s got a canvas hard-top. And then I’ve got a 1956, 21-foot Chris-Craft Capri, which is a speed boat.

have you thought about penning a voLume?I should write a book, but then I’d have to leave town. And I like it here, so I’m not going to write it anytime soon.

The kingpin of Houston residential real estate for the carriage class. Forty years in the biz that he helped forge. The man of the double-digit million-dollar listings, who was once tapped to sell the Mastersons’ famed Rienzi. Consummate gentleman. Old school. Collector and antiquarian. Gardener. Raconteur and oral historian — can recite unscripted, the architects and owners of Houston’s grand manses, River Oaks to Shadyside, going back at least 50 years. Keeper of the flame.

John Daugherty, Realtors recognizes and embraces the new technologies that are driving the evolution of real estate marketing.


Web vs . P r i n t

• Measurable results on web that don’t exist for print - How many times did my home come up in a search?

- How many times did the visitor look at detail or inquire? - Where were these visitors from? - How many sales resulted from that campaign? - How many people came to our website per day AND exactly what key words were used to find it?

• The National Association of Realtors Profile of Buyers and Sellers for 2008, reports that 90+% of home buyers aged 44 or under used the Internet as a source of information during the home buying process and that fully 87% of all buyers regardless of age did the same

Home buyers in the Houston area are younger than the sellers. The median age of home buyers was 46, with one-third in their 20s and 30s.

“If all it took was a pretty picture of your home on the front page of the newspaper to sell it, the newspaper would be selling classi-fied ads on the front page and receiving a lot of money for them and you wouldn’t need us to sell your home.”

John Daugherty, Realtors is committed to staying in the forefront of the ever-changing technology in the ways in which we market your home.

Our Website delivers a wealth of information about all Houston area properties that are currently listed for sale, the housing & amenity preferences of prospective buyers, & facts about our area...with unparalleled ease of use.

Have you visited our newly launched Web- site yet? If so, you know that it delivers a wealth of information for those looking to buy or sell a home or to relocate. The latest technology tools, combined with a fresh new look, make our site the premier site in the Houston area. Every aspect of johndaugherty.com is customized, providing an enhanced user experience and even better service to our clients.

On our site, visitors can search not only John Daugherty, Realtors properties, but also the properties of the 25,000 Houston Association of Realtors (HAR) members through the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). Viewing MLS listings on johndaugherty.com is superior to viewing them on other real estate sites, because our photos are larger and clearer, and our listing information is often more detailed than that found in the standard MLS listing.

In addition, you can search the MLS by your favorite Houston neighborhood (for example, “River Oaks”), rather than searching the huge, generalized regions designated by HAR. Want updates on new listings that meet your designated criteria? We will e-mail you as often as every hour, rather than once a day like most real estate firms.

Statistics


You A r e A n I m p ort a n t Pa rt Of Ou r Busi n ess

• In 2010, the John Daugherty, Realtors Post Oak/Galveston Office average sales

price was $684,998.

• In 2010, John Daugherty, Realtors closed 1,036 transactions, 605 of which were

under $500,000. This represents 58.4% of our transactions.

• Our Sales Management Team focuses on transactions successfully closed rather

than the sales price. What does that mean to you? We are equally

interested in our agents’ success, whether they are selling a $250,000 property or

a $1,000,000 property.

• Of our 1,036 transactions closed in 2010, 519 of them, or 50.09% were John

Daugherty, Realtors’ listings.


In most transactions, condition, amenities & age of the property help determine the price & attractiveness to buyers.

Bu y er’s Pr efer ence for the Condition of the Propert y

Neighborhoods with new construction properties most often demand higher dollar per square foot sales price for the new homes compared to their resale counterparts. Typically the Buyer may have the opportunity to select countertops, flooring and other special features that suit their family’s personality.

Resale properties, with a superior location and recently constructed are second in drawing top dollar.

The remaining properties preferences are determined by the neighborhood and buyer’s demand for the lifestyle the community offers.

The Hidden Cost of Overpricing Your Home

15% Over Market Value



Fair Market Value

20% of the Real Buyers




Studies show that homes that are priced properly at the beginning of their marketing will secure a contract at a faster rate and at a higher sales price than those that have been overpriced.

Recent Construction:Mint condition, premier location,

The Sales Process


The Hom e-Selling Process

John Daugherty, Realtors has been in the business of selling homes for a very long time. We understand the changing markets.

Selling your home is one of the largest and most stressful decisions of your life. Let John Daugherty, Realtors’ five decades of experience work for you! Our sole duty is to ensure that your home sells quickly, easily and at the best market price.

From the moment you hire us, your John Daugherty, Realtors sales associate will be there to keep the home-selling process moving forward—from helping you price your home, to preparing it for sale, to achieving a successful sale and closing.

You and your John Daugherty, Realtors sales associate have the same goal: to achieve the highest selling price for your property in the shortest period of time.

Factors Within Your Control

• Your Property’s Condition• Finishes & Amenities• The Listing Price of Your Home

Factors Outside Your Control

• Location & School District• Recent Sales Prices for Similar Properties• Current Economic Conditions

Our sole duty is to ensure that your home sells quickly, easily and at the best market price.


CURB APPEALThis is the first impression buyers get when

they drive up to your home. Try to turn it into

love at first sight. It is usually not necessary

to invest in expensive renovation to show

your home at its best advantage. Trimmed

shrubbery, mowed lawn and sparkling

windows go a long way in enhancing a home’s

desirability. If you don’t have the money to

paint the entire house, sometimes repainting

the trim will update the entire facade.

A TIDY APPEARANCENeatness counts both inside and out. Garages

should not look like storage facilities.

Gardening equipment should be put away.

Cars should be parked in your garage rather

than in the driveway.

Inside everything should be spotless. If

possible, hire someone to do “spring cleaning.”

Go through every room with the approach

that “less is more.” Less furniture makes a

room look more spacious. Remove as much

furniture as you can. Remove everything

possible from kitchen counters.

KITCHENS, CLOSETS, BATHSBuyers’ strongest reactions are to kitchens,

closets and baths, so pay special attention to

these areas. New cabinet hardware and new

shower curtains can make a big difference.

SMALL DETAILS MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCEA simple vase of flowers or the smell of

cinnamon rolls baking can enhance the

atmosphere and make a buyer feel that your

house is truly a home.

First impressions are lasting, especially when you’re trying to sell your house. The presentation of your home can make all the difference.

Whil e You r Hom e Is On T he M a r k e t

Our five decades of experience have taught us the best ways to show your home to its best advantage. First impressions are lasting & research shows that buyers look for very specific features.

After a price has been set, your sales associate will work with you to prepare your home for sale. This might include sprucing up your home’s curb appeal, staging the home with thoughtful details or making other improvements. Once the marketing process has begun, your sales associate will keep in frequent contact with you so that you are aware of the number of showings and prospective buyers’ feedback. Based on this feedback, we, as a team, can turn that “For Sale” sign into a “Sold” sign in the shortest time possible.

Depending on market conditionsand the desirability of your property, we

may book multiple showings every day. If

an immediate sale is not forthcoming, don’t

despair. Our experience assures you that

the prospects we bring will be qualified

candidates.

We strongly recommendyou excuse yourself during an appointment.

Trust your John Daugherty, Realtors agent to

deal professionally with buyers’ concerns and

turn negatives into positives.

Curb appeal is the first impression buyers get when they drive up to your home. Turn it into love at first sight.

Setting the “sell-by” scheduleHave your priorities changed? Have you

found a new address you are eager to move

into? Is your family selling because of a job

relocation? Just remember that once you have

listed your home, there will be an initial rush

of activity. The first couple of months are

your most opportune sale period - assuming

your property shows to its best advantage and

carries a competitive list price.

Many times your first offer is the best offer.

Try and make that first offer work for you
