John Daugherty, Realtors represents the vision, integrity and philosophy of the man at the top, Chairman/Chief Executive Officer and founder, John A. Daugherty, Jr. A third generation Houstonian, John Daugherty’s life has been intrinsically intertwined in the history and fabric of his hometown since his childhood. He grew up in the heart of River Oaks, the son of devoted parents who were actively involved in philanthropy in their city — and friends with the legendary first families of Houston through his father, John Daugherty, Sr.’s career as an executive in the oil-field supply business. The young John knew everyone as a child, teenager, then young adult during the late 1940s, 1950s and 1960s in Houston, from “Silver Dollar” Jim West to wildcatter Glenn McCarthy, as well as other kingmakers who shaped what would become the most dynamic, international and influential city in Texas.

Attending St. John’s School, Lamar High School and St. Thomas University, John Daugherty’s connections, sense of community and the deep relationships fostered since his childhood made real estate a natural career. He sold his first home in 1966, and nine months later in 1967 founded John Daugherty, Realtors. He developed and pioneered the modern concept of a professional residential real estate firm, earning an exemplary reputation under his leadership — one based on teamwork, service and empowering agents to represent Sellers and Buyers with unwavering integrity, as well as the ability to confidently broker the most storied, and high profile, homes in Houston. To this day, more than 45 years after its founding, his company, John Daugherty, Realtors, is known as the undisputed king of the double-digit, million-dollar listings. The company’s niche is wide and deep in the Bayou City’s most extraordinary neighborhoods — River Oaks, Shadyside, Rice University/West University/Bellaire/Medical Center, Tanglewood/Briargrove, Memorial/Spring Branch, Briargrove Park — and expanding.
