Woody Brodie Jr. is Still in His North Oak Cliff Home on Nolte Drive, Still Looking For a Miracle
Share News:
Woody Brodie Jr.’s South Edgefield neighbors say they’re hoping this holiday season that no news is good news.
Brodie was in an accident several years ago and can’t communicate verbally, but he knows there’s trouble with the title to his home and that shady investors want him out.
Brodie actually owns two homes on Nolte Drive — one that belonged to his late father and one where Brodie lived with his mother before she died.
The homes are up to code and Brodie is beloved by his neighbors. He helps them with small repairs, and they’ve offered to try to get him out of a mess with the investment firm Your Problem, My Solution LLC, which claims it owns a share in the property.
Suzanne Felber Offers Update on Her Neighbor Woody Brodie Jr.
Suzanne Felber reached out to CandysDirt.com in August about her neighbor “Woody,” and we shared his story in a four-part series.
Attorney Matt Glenn, also a neighbor, offered to take Woody’s case pro bono but could use some help from an expert in probate law or property titles.
We talked to Realtor Pamela Robison Mullins with Dave Perry-Miller Real Estate about the issue and other neighbors about the changes going on in the quaint, friendly North Oak Cliff neighborhoods.
But not much has changed in the past four months, Felber told CandysDirt.com earlier this week.
“I don’t have any good news,” she said.
But she didn’t have any bad news either.
Nicholas Petroff of Your Problem, My Solution continues to leave threatening notices on Brodie’s door.
“He’s trying to get Woody evicted,” Felber said. “Woody with his disabilities does not understand that this guy can do that. We need to find a probate lawyer that is good enough because it’s so complicated. So far we have had zero luck, and this guy keeps pounding on Woody’s door.”
Ideally they’d like to settle the matter before it winds up in court.
“We’re doing everything we can to help him,” Felber said. “He’s afraid to go out of the house, that he’ll come home and be locked out. He’s the sweetest guy. All he wants to do is just live his life.”

He needs to open title on the property. I title search will tell him who owns and/or has an interest in both properties

Ms. Towery, I am very interested in this issue at hand as I have read many situations in the southern parts of Dallas has been facing such issues. As a community and with legal expiration and a degree in law I feel that we could come together and stop the harassment and assist with the filing of a petition on Mr.Felber’s behalf.
Sorry to hear this about Woody! Why is the city council letting these shady investors come into our communities and tried to take the citizens home. They buy the property and just put a little cosmetic on the house and sell it for some exorbitant price and don’t even really fix the house up! We need new councilman downtown. They don’t care about the people they just love the money
Title search is a great beginning point.
I contacted AARP but they recommend Woody Brodie contact legal aid which is listed in another posting.
My thought is for him to set up a living revocable trust to put his house in. It makes it more difficult for others to touch the property. It will cost but should be worth it…
For those getting a bunch of calls sign up for the do not call list. When they call you tell them you are on the list they should end the call. If not ask them for their name address phone website or to send something in writing to you to get their information. Then file a small claim suit for contacting you w/o permission.
