I was raised in the South Texas town of Kingsville, home of the King Ranch (one of the worlds largest), about 50 miles Southwest of Corpus Christi. My father was a home remodeling contractor and also owned a small paint and hardware store. After graduating high school, I worked with him in both the store and in the remodeling business, learning about home renovation. While working with him, I also attended Texas A&M University-Kingsville, majoring in Finance and minoring in General Business. In May of 1983, I began my real estate career with a Texas Real Estate Sales license, and I attained my Texas Brokers License in February of 1986. I owned and managed my own real estate company in Kingsville. I was a Director on the local board of Realtors and served on several board-relat

Upon arriving in Houston in the late 1990's, I decided to settle in the Heights area. I enjoy Inner Loop living because it is close to everything I want and it offers a mix of older and newer home styles. I love to help people relocate!! I always look out for the best interests of my clients and I provide them with accurate information and honest opinions, even if they do not always like the answers. I listen to my clients wants and needs and utilize that information to help match them with the home that best fits. I stay informed and educated, and keep abreast of ever-changing real estate issues. I strive to provide good service and knowledgeable advice, which helps give my clients the tools they need to make their decisions. I take a personal interest in my clients and treat

My 33 years of experience has taught me greatly about home buying and selling, and has helped me to develop strong negotiating skills. My goal is to make the home buying/selling process easier and smoother for all parties involved. I want their experiences to be better than what my clients expected it would be.

Joan Oelze is a top-producing broker associate and specializes in both primary residences and multi-family investment properties. She is a 21-year resident of the Heights and works primarily in the inner-loop and close-in neighborhoods of Houston. She has a special love and understanding of older homes and has the experience to guide customers through the purchase or sale of these specialized properties. She actively lists homes for sale AND represents buyers and has a strategic methodology to guide first-time buyers. About the older homes and neighborhoods, she says, "Transitioning urban neighborhoods can differ greatly from area to area, and even from block to block. If you are considering buying or selling an older home, make sure your agent has the experience to guide you through these very specific transactions. Of course, I hope it's ME, but if it's not, make sure the agent you pick has this kind of experience."

Marks Chowning joins Martha Turner Sotheby's International Realty this year pairing his extensive knowledge of the Galveston market with their world class real estate brokerage.


Drawn by the lure of the sea, Marks and his family relocated to Galveston in mid-2015 and now call the beautiful Texas gulf coast home. As a resident and professional in this coastal region, he is intimately familiar with the unique issues related to coastal living, specifically coastal insurance issues (flood, wind), differing building codes and construction requirements. Marks brings a wealth of experience in home renovation, commercial construction, and historic restoration, valuable knowledge given the amount of older homes and historic buildings on the island.


Clients praise Marks for his positive approach, decisive yet creative disposition, exceptional negotiating skills, and unwavering commitment throughout the entire transaction. He strives to deliver service that surpasses expectations, fostering "win-win" transactions, and addressing all of his clients' real estate requirements.


Marks started his career managing a variety of large public assembly, multi-use and commercial properties in markets across the United States. After 25 years of operating commercial properties, 2012 found him jumping into the world of residential real estate, launching his practice in Las Vegas, Nevada. As you can imagine, real estate, like everything else in Las Vegas, was dynamic and always moving, and he quickly became a top producer within his brokerage.


When Marks is not immersed in the world of real estate, he enjoys playing golf on the island's golf courses, nurturing vibrant tropical plants and relishing the freshest local seafood. Simple pleasures include exploring the island on his golf cart, sunset gatherings with friends and quiet time on his porch enjoying the breeze off the water.
