Todd Dawdy

Sales Representative

Todd Dawdy is a lifelong Fort Erie resident who proudly calls the community home with his wife and two sons. Growing up in Ridgeway, he watched the town evolve over the years—always remembering his father’s words: “This is the best-kept secret in Ontario.”  Todd’s strong work ethic started early, from managing five lawn-cutting contracts at age eight to delivering newspapers well into his teens. He later worked as a groundskeeper at Thunder Bay Golf Course (now The Oaks at Six Mile Creek, a development Team Zing helped sell out) before taking on landscaping work to help put himself through university. With nearly 15 years of experience running his own business, Todd brings valuable knowledge from a range of sales and management roles. He knows what it takes to succeed—and, more importantly, how to take exceptional care of his clients. Many he has served over the years have become repeat clients and lifelong friends. Sports continue to be a big part of Todd’s life, from his time as an on-ice official in the American Hockey League to coaching youth hockey and baseball. His deep local roots, strong work ethic, and commitment to the community make him a dedicated and trusted Realtor throughout Fort Erie and the Niagara Region.
