Meet Dorie Dillard
I believe knowledge builds confidence, experience provides perspective, and thoughtful decisions create better lives.
Whether I'm sharing a life lesson, explaining the real estate market, or helping someone find their next home, my goal is always the same, to educate, encourage, and serve.
After growing up in Upstate New York and graduating from Iowa State University, I made Austin my home in 1981. I began my career in education, where I discovered that learning never really ends. Today, that same philosophy shapes the way I serve my real estate clients.
Since earning my real estate license in 1991, I've had the privilege of helping buyers and sellers throughout Northwest Austin and the surrounding communities. Over the years, I've learned that real estate is about much more than contracts and closing dates.
It's about listening first.
It's about understanding what matters most to each client.
And it's about helping people make confident decisions during one of life's biggest financial and emotional milestones.
For 35 years, I've built my business on relationships, not transactions. I'm honored that so much of my business comes from repeat clients and referrals, the greatest compliment I can receive.
As a Canyon Creek resident since 1994 and the creator of CanyonCreekNews.com, I'm passionate about sharing market insights, neighborhood news, community events, and the stories that make Northwest Austin such a wonderful place to call home.
When you work with me, you can expect honest advice, clear communication, thoughtful guidance, and an experienced advocate who will be by your side from our first conversation through closing, and long afterward.
Whether you're buying your first home, selling a longtime family home, or simply trying to understand today's market, I'm here to help you make informed decisions with confidence.
Because real estate is never just about a home...
It's about the life it makes possible.

Moving from Ohio to Texas was a big move for us in our “senior years” . Dorie came highly recommended and lived up to the accolades we heard about her. She really was excellent. She did her homework before I arrived and planned our 2 days perfectly. She’s the best I’ve ever worked with!After we found the perfect house to retire in, she guided us through the bidding all the way to closing! She just does the “extras” that meant so much to me! Thank you Dorie!!!Tom and Beth Harris
We want to express our heartfelt gratitude for the exceptional care and guidance Dorie Dillard provided during the sale of our home at 9727 Cinnabar Trail in Austin. From the moment we first met with Dorie on March 24 through our closing on June 22, she brought not only professionalism and expertise, but also patience, kindness, and genuine reassurance. Her experience was evident every step of the way, and her thoughtful recommendations helped us present our home in the very best light to potential buyers. Even when two prospective sales unexpectedly fell through, Dorie remained steady, confident, and encouraging. She guided us through each challenge with grace and determination, always making us feel supported and informed. Thanks to her persistence and skill, a third buyer was ready, and the sale of our home was completed smoothly and successfully. After nearly 30 years of living in this home and raising our family there, selling it was far more than a transaction — it was an emotional life moment. Dorie understood that, and her compassion made all the difference. She helped us navigate this transition with confidence and peace of mind, and we truly cannot imagine having gone through it with anyone better by our side. We are deeply grateful for everything Dorie did for us and feel incredibly fortunate to have worked with her. Warm regards,Ruthie and Ronnie Robinson
Relocating from one home to another, no matter the reason, is one of life’s significant events – especially when leaving a home of many years. Aside from the logistics of preparing for the move there are also important considerations regarding the sale of the existing home. Hence the importance of a realtor with in-depth market knowledge and demonstrated ability to work together with the sellers to mutually develop a sales strategy to attract potential buyers in the shortest time for a successful sale. Lucid advice on pricing, marketing, staging and frequent communication are essential to meet this goal. Our recent experience with Dorie Dillard of Coldwell Banker Realty led to the successful sale of our home in record time. The entire process of pricing, listing, negotiating with buyers, coordinating with the Title Company, guidance through myriad required forms, etc. was done with such transparency that, like a true professional, every step in the entire process was successfully accomplished through her competency and clear communication.
