Meet Derek Avery
I'm Derek Avery, and Together We Thrive!


My journey is marked by turning ideas into impactful projects that uplift communities. From revitalizing neighborhoods in Dallas to championing transparency and equity, my track record reflects my commitment to fostering positive transformations. With a background in real estate development and a drive to bridge gaps, I’ve been honored to serve on various boards and organizations that amplify the voices that deserve to be heard. Join me on this journey of community-driven progress and let’s shape a brighter future together through education, empowerment, and collective action.
Embarking on a journey of meaningful impact, my career has been an exploration of creating positive change. As the Owner and CEO of Avery Real Estate, COIR Holdings, and COIR Development, I’ve shaped projects that blend community revitalization with smart business strategies. Serving as the Vice President of Real Estate at Frazier Revitalization and the Director of Landlord Engagement at Metro Dallas Homelessness Alliance, I’ve taken on challenges head-on, using innovative approaches to address housing and community development. My role as the Director of Housing Initiatives at Abounding Prosperity, Inc. enabled me to intertwine real estate with social well-being, amplifying affordable housing solutions. With a deep-rooted commitment to education and community growth, I’ve dedicated myself to making Dallas District 3 a place of opportunity, equality, and progress.
Dedication to my community’s well-being has been the cornerstone of my journey. Through my involvement with organizations like the North Texas Alliance to Reduce Unintended Teen Pregnancy, Green Careers Dallas, Faith in Texas, and Friends of Juanita Craft House and Civil Rights Museum, I’ve strived to drive positive change at the grassroots level. As a board member and active participant, I’ve collaborated with diverse stakeholders, bringing their voices together to shape solutions that matter. My engagement with South East Houston Community Development Corporation and roles as a speaker at Strong Towns and Urban Land Institute events have enabled me to amplify community concerns and advocate for sustainable growth. Every step of the way, my goal has been to empower residents and elevate the District 3 neighborhood, fostering a future that’s inclusive, resilient, and united.
