Don Dowd, Offline Marketing Expert
Don’s entrepreneurial career began in 1990 at age 17 when he launched his own landscaping company. He rapidly expanded the business to over 150 customers and sold it, moving on to his next venture of founding Valley View Tree Experts in Media, PA. As Don’s marketing expertise generated continual growth for his tree service company, he took on yet another career: real estate. At age 22, he purchased and renovated several fixer-upper properties and resold them for substantial profit. Within 5 years, Don built his first of many million dollar homes.

Don was a top-producing listing agent for ReMax of the Main Line from 2009 to 2016 before moving on to Springer Real Estate where he is a realtor now. He has sold over $20 million of his own real estate holdings nationwide. One of the biggest contributors to Don’s real estate success has been the use of Handwritten Direct Mail. This highly successful advertising technique allows Don to target specific homeowners who are potentially planning to sell their homes. Seeing the high rate of return this technique had in his real estate business, he got inspired to put this concept into action for other industries and soon discovered a remarkably high success rate for home contracting businesses. Don put this idea into action through the creation of Tree Leads Today, which has since generated unprecedented growth for tree service companies.
