About Odis Slone Realty

Since 1974, friends have been family here.

We’re a small, family-run brokerage on Brandt Pike. From grandfather to grandson, we’ve believed the same thing about this work. It’s about people first, and houses second.

How it started

It started with one man who never met a stranger

Odis Slone Jr. opened Odis Slone Realty in 1974. He was a U.S. Army veteran and a longtime member of the Dayton Area Board of REALTORS®. Around here, though, most people remember him as the man who “never met a stranger.”

That’s where our motto comes from. It wasn’t a slogan to him. It was simply how he did business.

A new generation

Brad carries it on

Brad Slone is Odis’s grandson. Today he leads the business as its broker.

The name on the sign is the same, and so is the office on Brandt Pike. When you call, you’ll reach a real person who knows the area and gives you a straight answer.

Our values

What “Friends are family” means to us

It isn’t about who you are or where you’re moving. It’s about how we treat everyone who walks through our door.

  • Straight talk

    We tell you what we really think about a price, a house or an offer, even when it isn’t what you hoped to hear. Friends do that for each other.

  • We pick up the phone

    You won’t get bounced around a call center. Call the office or text Brad, and a real person who knows your name will get back to you.

  • Neighbors first

    We live and work around here too. We’d rather help you make a good decision than a fast one, because we expect to see you around town.

Our team

The people you’ll work with

We’re a small office, and we like it that way. You’ll always know who you’re talking to.
