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.

My season spent in the non-profit world gave me the foundation to build relationships with a broad spectrum of clients and donors -- from community champions and volunteers to executives, educators, and leaders in the business community.


Our team has an appreciation of all that makes the Bayou City a unique place to call home. From inner-loop areas where we've lived, worked and played like the Museum District, Montrose, and EaDo areas, to the quickly growing Garden Oaks/Oak Forest, Greater Inwood, Spring Branch and Heights communities, we provide our clients a unique perspective on the history, current and planned development of Houston's most popular neighborhoods. In addition to earning the business of clients spanning The Woodlands, Cypress, and Memorial, we assist clients with investment properties and second homes in Galveston's Historic East End, beach and bay properties on the West End, Jamaica Beach and throughout the Kemah area.
