I am a full time licensed realtor with Bates Brinkley Realty.

I am committed to building strong relationships while listening to the needs and expectations of my clientele. My goal is to facilitate the buying and selling process in order to ensure a seamless transaction for my clients.

Broker/Owner of Galveston Sales Associates and Galveston Condo Living and a certified Resort and Second Home Property Specialist (RSPS) specializing in lifestyle real estate in the charming, resort communities of Galveston, Tiki Island and surrounding coastal areas on the Texas Gulf Coast.

Whether buying or selling, I have the knowledge, tools and experience necessary to help you achieve your real estate goals. If you would like more information on Galveston and the surrounding coastal area markets, give me a call. I'm happy to discuss your options with you.

Common interview questions:

Why do you enjoy being a real estate agent? There is nothing better than a satisfied client. Real estate is one of those professions where you know whether or not you've made a difference for someone right away. I enjoy introducing our coastal area to new residents and visitors, and I love helping people fulfill a dream.

What is the most challenging issue you face as a Real Estate Professional? Expectations. They are rarely in line with the realities of the market. There is so much media coverage on real estate these days. And all too often, the stories are irrelevant to the buyers/sellers in my area. Real estate markets are local in nature. I provide my clients with news and local market statistics that pertain to them.

Tell us one of your client success stories or an interesting moment in your profession. The years following Hurricane Ike were interesting to say the least. It was the first time a storm of that magnitude with that kind of destruction hit the island since 1900. At the same time, the mortgage industry imploded with the collapse of Lehman Brothers, and the country was in the early stages of a recession. What followed was a very unpredictable market for several years. It was an experience I don't think I will ever forget.

REALTOR® Cynthia Corder of JPar The Sears Group is a critical player on the Texas Property Chicks Team. Cynthia has a passion for connecting people with their dreams and tenaciously helps her clients reach their real estate goals. The Property Chicks Team collectively brings decades of expertise to the table, closing deals throughout the Texas Gulf Coast-area for more than 25 years.
Cynthia launched her real estate career in 2018 and understands first-hand the advantages of simplified living and staying connected to her community. My husband and I moved to Galveston Island wanting a lot less in life; less stress, less traffic, less pollution, less stuff. We decided island living was for us, so we donated everything to charity and headed for Island life. Today I am passionate about helping my clients reach their personal real estate goals. I work tirelessly for my clients and efficiently get the work done from contract to close. I have a large sphere of influence and connections in the community. Cynthia works closely with her in-office vacation rental program and leverages her knowledge of income properties and vacation rental potential to give her clients an advantage. I can sell a buyer a home and list it with our program seamlessly. I am also a relocation specialist for students and faculty at the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) and Texas A&M. Our office manages over 150 properties in our market area which provides a wealth of knowledge and insight to home buyers wanting to invest in rentals, Cynthia said, who is also well versed in foreclosure properties through FreddieMac and the VA. In addition to working with buyers and sellers, Cynthia believes in giving back to her community in profound ways. She founded a thriving nonprofit called RecoveryChick. Together with her broker she also opened a home called Judy's House. Judy's House is named after Cynthia's late mother.
