BRAD SHUMWAY

Born into the business and licensed as a Realtor since 1988, Brad proudly worked in his family-owned real estate business until the recent retirement of his mother, Dawn Shumway. The Shumway legacy will now live on through Heritage Texas Properties.

Brad has chosen to partner with this power house firm offering enhanced resources in addition to solid effective support and management staff. Heritage is a natural fit for Brad, retaining the welcoming, inclusive feeling of a smaller firm. Brad Shumway joins Heritage Texas Properties and its well honed resources to further strengthen his presence in Houston’s popular and expanding historical communities.

Brad continues to give back to the local community he loves working with Woodland Heights and other nearby neighborhoods. The Shumways spearheaded many wonderful projects that benefit their neighborhood. Brad and his mother have been central to the effort to re-establish Deed Restrictions for Woodland Heights and other similar neighborhoods threatened by business encroachment and density concerns. Largely, through his family’s efforts, the four-faced clock at the corner of Houston Avenue and White Oak Drive was installed with the Civic Association.

The Shumways are always committed to beautification and reforesting efforts in the local esplanades, parks, around neighborhood schools, as well as active involvement and support for Woodland Heights’ curb-side tree program offered through the Association. Brad and Dawn have a history of reaching out to local and state politicians to facilitate neighborhood needs for progress, change, and protections. They also eagerly promote commercial services development, renewing interests in underappreciated redeveloping areas like the Heights and 1st ward.

Brad has established a stellar reputation for effective superior service to both buyers and sellers. He is well-known for his high energy, hard work, and a willingness to go the extra mile. With his in-depth knowledge of the markets he serves and a refreshing approach to home buying with an emphasis on wise and informed investing and the importance of a “resale perspective” at the time of purchase, Brad takes time to educate buyers and investors.

He is passionate about helping clients make informed decisions offering information about architecture and renovation and the importance of consistency, location, and value-added-improvements in the properties purchased or sold and what will be the best home and most solid investment possible.
