Kimberly Saward holds the distinction of being a top producer and a year to date leader as a Realtor. No doubt both goals were achieved because of her simple but powerful work philosophy and action step – she's happy to help and appreciates each client.

Kimberly attributes her success to her ability to anticipate the needs of her clients and her propensity to be kind and thoughtful. Her thoroughness, attention to detail, and the professional staging and photography she provides for each listing, which she feels make her unique from others in her profession, enhance her client service and process. Kimberly brings personal life skills to the business of home buying and selling as she has moved, purchased and sold homes state to state and within Texas. Additionally, her prior role as a stay-at-home mom has made her a "great project manager."

Kimberly is a member of the Texas Association of Realtors® Political Action Committee (TREPAC) and a supporter of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. In addition to homes, architecture and interior design, her other loves include decorating, exercising, gardening and good eating. She is a native of Tulsa, Oklahoma and proudly claims Galveston as her home. She and her husband have two children.

Natasha Pierce has 5 years of experience as a REALTOR® and has been in the real estate world for 10 years! She is based out of Galveston, TX and serves the Galveston/Houston area. Natasha began her real estate journey in 2014 when she first heard about vacation rentals. This was a fairly new concept on the island, as Galveston was rebuilding after Hurricane Ike. This propelled her into moving out of her home near the beach and rent it as a vacation rental. Natasha quickly learned she was on to something and soon after, so did her neighbors. She started managing her own vacation rentals as well as the neighbor's vacation rentals. With her growing love of real estate, Natasha decided to become a real estate agent. She absolutely loves what she does! Natasha takes pride in her work ethic, negotiating skills, attention to detail and communication skills. Not sure where to start? Call or text Natasha. She would love to help!

Currently I serve as the Texas Realtor's Region 10 political involvement committee representative.
