Ann's first sale in 1992 was a gorgeous, 3-acre, Timberwilde lot in Hunters Creek Village which set a record as the highest sales price for a residential lot. This sale marked the beginning of her record-setting career in real estate with sales of more than $350 million. She has consistently been one of Houston's top REALTORs, earning her the respect of her clients and peers. From the outset, Ann quickly rose to the top of Greenwood King Properties and was their 1994 Top Producer, just two years from her first sale. In 1995, Ann Dashiell was recognized by the Houston Business Journal as one of The 25 Top Producing Agents in Greater Houston, comprised of over 25,000 agents. During her career, she achieved a ranking that ranged from 24 to number five. Ann founded Ann Dashiell Properties in the Spring of 2002, a boutique company offering personalized service to her clients. In the first year, she placed No.15 in HBJ's Top 25 Producing Agents, setting another record.
In 2006, she retired to travel and spend quality time with family in CA. But Ann missed being a part of the Memorial real estate community and returned home with a new appreciation of the Villages. Ann Dashiell Properties is again focusing on what Ann does best, selling, listing, renovating, staging, and designing beautiful homes and selling and listing home sites and acreage
A native Houstonian and Memorial Villages resident since 1955, Ann began first grade at Memorial Drive Elementary School, attended Spring Branch Junior High, and graduated from Memorial High School. She was an artist and designer for more than a decade before becoming a broker. This background enabled her to combine her strong artistic ability and interior design experience with her love of architecture and landscape design. Ann's in-depth knowledge of new construction helps her clients in the selection process whether updating, renovating, building, or staging a home for sale.
When listing your home, Ann personally stages the home and tailors their marketing and commission to their personal situation. Selling or buying is a serious decision and the agent's role is critical in achieving reliable results. In today's volatile market, selecting a proven professional with a successful track record is even more critical and Ann consistently delivers excellent results. She urges potential clients to meet and discuss their goals. She feels home ownership may not have the same liquidity as the stock market, but it can be a valuable investment tool using her knowledge, expertise, and guidance to advise them. By utilizing her strict criteria of buying right, her clients can enjoy their investment. During a 10-year period of advising a well-known client, the result to date is $2,000,000 after using Ann's advice in buying, renovating, and selling.
Ann has been active in charities that relate to children and tries to be available for what is most important to her, her family. She has two daughters, a son, and five grandchildren; Emily, Jackson, Katie, and Olivia who are all under ten years! Using her experiences as a mother, she is perceptive in anticipating her client's needs from getting information on the little league, finding a tutor, or locating a nanny. Her strong organizational skills, background as an artist and designer, and excellent follow-up are tools basic to her abilities in helping her clients in every aspect and have become essential in today's market.
Her enthusiasm and love of real estate clearly show she is a born saleswoman and a successful negotiator. Dashiell’s artistic staging, ability to focus, and her industry success all contribute to her history of delivering what her clients need, a successful sale, and good memories.
