I have been representing buyers and sellers in Galveston for eight years. I enjoy helping my clients find their dream home!!

Born on the Gulf Coast, in Freeport, Texas, where Cheryl Lewellen-Price inherited her enduring love for the beach and salt air, and licensed as a Realtor in 1976, some might say that it was inevitable that Cheryl would build a sterling career selling Galveston real estate. The only surprise would be that it took 24 years to happen.

Prior to that, she was a Vice President of a professional recruiting and placement agency, with offices in Houston, Dallas and Atlanta, where she established and managed their temporary placement agency. Then, in 1984, she did turn to real estate, but it was working in Houston for a full-service home finding brokerage and leader in the temporary housing industry, specializing in corporate relocation and lodging. While there, she served in a variety of roles including corporate sales representative and operations manager. It wasn’t until 2000 that she moved back to the coast, at first running that company’s Galveston corporate relocation and apartment locater operations.

But, the pull of the ocean led her to an opportunity in vacation and resort real estate sales that, ultimately, became the enduring career she was meant for. Since then, she has primarily focused on the marketing and on-site sales of residential lots, development projects, and condominiums, serving West End neighborhoods that include Pirates Beach, Laffite’s Cove, The Harbor, Pirate’s Cove, Indian Beach, the Estate of Sandhill Shores, and Enclave. She was the Sales Director for Emerald by the Sea and Palisade Palms, and also worked with an auction company that was involved with sales at Palisade Palms and Diamond Beach.

In 2006, she earned her Broker’s license and has been very active in industry affairs, serving on the Board of the Galveston Association of Realtors from 2006 to 2009, where she was the Secretary/Treasurer in 2009; and, in 2005 she was a winner of the Stewart Title Spotlight Award.

Always driven to deliver concierge customer service, Cheryl strives to understand the needs of her clients and educate them about the market, but most of all she endeavors to take the worry and confusion out of the home buying process.

“It is all about the people,” she says, “and helping them find their special place, where family and friends come together and create memories. I knew I wanted to be a part of that process. My entire background has centered on customer service and providing information that is tailored to clients’ personal needs and desires. I knew as soon as I started that this would be a perfect fit.”

Married to Mike Price, Cheryl has a Bachelor of Arts Degree from Sam Houston State, has served on the Board for Big Brothers and Big Sisters, and is a supporter of the Galveston Animal Shelter.

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 expertise includes highly advanced technology to sell real estate. I continue to study real estate economics, the art of business, social media leveraging and marketing that includes global contacts. I only use the best in professional photography that provide the best experience for high resolution imaging to give my clients the best exposure. I also use DRONE imaging and videos. My past sales include homes throughout the community I live in including League City to Seabrook, Kemah, Dickinson, Santa Fe, Friendswood, and Alvin for the past 20+ years. My history of selling Galveston Vacation Homes and new construction in Galveston, real estate new homes, luxury waterfront front homes, is my testimonial of hard work and great business ethics. I use social media extensively and have a deep understanding of how to market properties to sell all over the world.
I have lived in Galveston County all my life and I love the business of buying and selling homes for my clients. I personally own vacation homes and other investment properties and continue to educate my clients on how to successfully create passive income streams in real estate.

Since I am an investor in real estate myself and having been in business with my own marketing/retail business for over 25 years, I bring expertise to the table that many agents do not possess. I understand what it means to make a commitment and follow through with superior service to each client! I love the outdoors and spending time with family and friends. My passion is my business and staying relevant by educating myself to the ever evolving real estate market.
