Gay Fundling is a name that has been known around Jamaica Beach and Galveston for many years. Gay has lived on the West End of Galveston since the early 1960's. She married her high school sweetheart, Jim (BOI) in 1973 and raised their 2 sons here. In 1984, Gay started her real estate career with West Galveston Realty and in 2007, she started her own company, Galveston Island Real Estate on the West End of the island. Gay's expertise lies not only in complete knowledge of the real estate business but in her friendly and positive approach to life. Clients find her wonderful to work with and her friends and neighbors rely on her for her sage advice on all aspects of island living.
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.
I live in Galveston, Texas. I love to explore this great island and I love to help people find their dream home. I would very much love to help you sell your house, and buy your new home!

As a graduate of the University of Mississippi and a Texas CPA for over 20 years, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise into my real estate career. I have been involved in the Houston real estate market for most of my adult life as an investor, builder and remodeler, as well as, a homeowner. In my previous career, I participated daily in contract review and negotiation related to large capital projects and commercial leases. Real estate has always been a passion of mine. I am enthusiastic about each step of the process from listings and showings, to closings and beyond. I have had the pleasure in my career of partnering with a renowned architect in numerous projects, from new home construction to extensive updating and remodeling projects. It is exciting for me to see a home transform into something fresh and new, or back to its original roots and intended charm and appeal. As your real estate agent, I have the experience to help you navigate through each step of the home buying/selling process, and will be there to assist and support you along the way. Purchasing or selling a home can be a stressful and emotional journey. My job, as your real estate agent, is to do my very best to help guide you through the experience, and make it a rewarding one for all parties involved.
