Our Board of Directors
Joyce Tyler-Williams
HAUCDC President
Throughout Shad Bogany’s real estate career he has become a man with many faces including, real estate instructor, talk show host, columnist, board member, facilitator, advisor, and chairman. Even though his titles have changed, he remains the same spit fired industry professional – ready to fight for the citizen’s right to own a home.
​
Bogany is a native Houstonian who has more than 22 years of experience as a full-time real estate professional. Founded in 1980 by Shad’s father, Bogany Properties realized that a company’s involvement begins early in the transaction. This revelation lead to the creation of the marketing plan that has helped Shad Bogany sell hundreds of homes.
​
He is often asked – “Why not sell million-dollar homes?” His answer - “I can sell anything to anybody; however, I choose to concentrate my efforts on making housing affordable for everyone, not just the business executive, but also the single parent with one income.” That led him to his interest and leadership of the Houston Area Urban Community Development Corporation (HAUCDC).
​
In 1990, Mr. Bogany decided that an avenue for communication between homebuyers and the real estate community was needed to keep citizens informed of affordable home buying opportunities and the latest industry news, thus The Real Estate Corner was born. Every Tuesday from 6 pm to 7 pm on KWWJ 1360 am, Shad opens the floor for locals to call and pick his brain about everything from grant monies to the best foundation repair company. He features guest from all industries and gives each show a theme. The Real Estate Corner has become a staple in the community and has a dedicated following.
