John Daugherty
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. AS TOld TO CATHeRine d. AnSpOn. pORTRAiT Jenny AnTill.

D.D. Peden house, Shadyside
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.
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.
I like red ties and I like Hermès ties. And my shirts are Hamilton custom shirts.
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.
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 Daugherty captains his gardening. 1937 Chris-Craft. 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.
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 ChrisCraft Capri, which is a speed boat.

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.

There is a steady increase in people who are getting their news online vs. in the
newspapers in all age groups. As this increases, readership of newspapers obviously continues to decrease, which means that exposure to our ads decreases.

John Daugherty, Realtors is committed to staying in the forefront of the everchanging technology in the ways in which we market your home. We have a very aggressive marketing strategy that utilizes the best of all the available media. Because we believe in maximizing the exposure given to your home, we partner with many other web sites locally, nationally and internationally. In so doing, we ensure the best results in selling your home.
“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 classified ads on the front page and receiving a lot of money for them and you wouldn’t need us to sell your home.� John A. Daugherty, Jr.

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 Website 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.

Our site provides an easy and intuitive way to stay up to date on the entire Houston MLS, as well as national and international luxury real estate listings • Easy searching. Search for homes in the neighborhoods you are interested in from the home page and every other page. You can also search for homes by clicking on an interactive map of Houston • Frequent updates. Receive e-mail updates on new listings meeting your designated criteria as often as every hour • More search criteria. Select from all the standard search criteria (e.g., number of bedrooms or baths), plus more detailed criteria such as school district, amenities and type of lot • Refine your search results. Narrow your search results at any time to quickly hone in on the properties that fit your needs and desires • Send property information. It’s quick and easy to send property information to a printer, a cell phone or an email account from each page • Neighborhood guides.

How to m a k e you r hom e l o ok i ts bes t
First impressions are lasting, especially when you’re trying to sell your house. The presentation of your home can make all the difference. CURB APPEAL This 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.
SMALL DETAILS MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE A 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.
Curb appeal is the first impression buyers get when they drive up to your home. Turn it into love at first sight.
A TIDY APPEARANCE Neatness 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, BATHS Buyers’ 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. johndaughert y.com
How to m a k e you r hom e l o ok i ts bes t

W h i l e Yo u r H o m e I s On The M a r k et
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 conditions and 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.
Setting the “sell-by” schedule Have 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
Curb appeal is the first impression buyers get when they drive up to your home. Turn it into love at first sight.
We strongly recommend you excuse yourself during an appointment. Trust your John Daugherty, Realtors agent to deal professionally with buyers’ concerns and turn negatives into positives.
