Approach to presentations


“I realized that I need to be the 50,000-foot guy who sets the picture in terms of what the overall market condition looks like."
Instead of focusing solely on a market’s real estate landscape, Dotzour examines the global economy, explaining how it will trickle down to the national, state and city levels. He also keeps a close eye on interest rates, predicting what the central bank is going to do, whether we're going to have higher inflation.
“I follow the big, general pictures, but the difference between me and most every other economist I've ever met is that I analyze the same economic information that other economists do, but I translate that down to real estate decisions."

  • Commercial appraiser, Cushman & Wakefield
    When I heard you speak in January 2020 at the North Texas Realty Conference, you got my attention because at the time you were the only person I heard who was actually predicting lower interest rates over the long term. You accurately predicted EXACTLY what would happen at the next recession; who could have imagined it would begin only a couple of months later. As you predicted, the Fed dropped rates to zero and the currency printers have been turned on.

    It is very clear to me that you are someone who has academic curiosity, but what is even more clear is that your curiosity stems from wanting to know the why behind things, because you truly care.

  • Texas A&M Fellows
    I really value your candor and frankness with us in order to impart truth, and I especially liked your advice to seek an understanding of what is happening in business from those living and working in it rather than the media. I think that this shows the way that you are able to find fact and truth in the face of opinion and distortions.

  • Keller Williams National Meetings

    I'm still laughing from what was the best 45 minute presentation on basic economics I've heard in years! You were masterful at distilling a (normally) boring  topic in an entertaining and very "nuts and bolts" easy to digest format.

    I have received several comments from audience participants who felt your presentation was the best overview of the national economy they had ever heard. You seemed to be able to sweep aside much of the smoke and mirrors and to drill down into what is really happening, who is doing it and what their motivation is; so a big Texas Thank You for your time and presentation.
