Coldwell Banker Dawnflight’s Greg Dodds Wins Community Entrepreneur of the Year

Coldwell Banker Dawnflight Broker-Owner Greg Dodds was named the Entrepreneur of the Year at the South Huron Business and Community Excellence Awards. 

In his thank yous, Dodds quickly made the individual award a team accomplishment. And he proudly named names.  

“We have great agents in Pat, Steve, Megan, and Kate who are not only amazing at their jobs but incredible people, too,” said Dodds. “Our operations and transactions manager James and marketing consultant Bree are also integral pieces of the puzzle who do so much on the back end of the business for us.”

New brokerage for natural leader 

In January 2023, Dodds opened the doors to his brokerage in Exeter, a community in the municipality of South Huron, located approximately 40 km north of London in southern Ontario.  

Dodds is devoted to the professional growth of brokerage recruits and to high-level sales production.  

“We have tried to build a culture of good people to make coming to work every day enjoyable,” he said. 

Paul Abbott, a Coldwell Banker Canada Vice-President, Franchise Development, said the award has gone to a natural leader whose skills have been allowed to shine as a broker-owner. 

“Congratulations to Greg and the whole team at Coldwell Banker Dawnflight,” said Abbott. “This award recognizes the good things that happen for a business when everyone knows the direction they are going, and everyone is committed to the work needed to get there. That’s what leadership does.”

Growth ahead 

Coldwell Banker Dawnflight is getting set to get bigger.  

“We are grateful to be where we are, but we are focusing on growing even larger in 2024,” said Dodds. “We will be moving into our new office which will be over double the size of our current one and we are all looking forward to expanding and growing our business.”
