*EXPERIENCE * EXPERIENCE* 54 YEARS FULL TIME AS A LICENSED AGENT AND BROKER* For the past 53 years, I have been engaged in the real estate business full time as a salesperson. Beginning as a Realtor in August 1967, and receiving my Brokers license in August of 1972. Prior to receiving my real estate license, I worked in the title Industry as a runner, an abstractor, an examiner and then closer (today referred to as an escrow officer.) The title business led to my interest in real estate. Residential, as well as commercial, are my areas of expertise. I recently received the designation of REALTOR EMERITUS from the National Association of REALTORS for having served over 40 years to our industry.I have been a past President of the Galveston Association of REALTORS, served on various committees, including Professional Standards, Education , MLS and Secretary of the Board of Directors. Voted Best REALTOR in Galveston in 2003 by the Galveston County Daily News . I was an adjunct instructor in real estate for 17 years at Galveston College. Taught many courses in different areas of our business. I participated in several developments of historical properties on the island as well as resort properties on the west end beach and bay areas. Recently honored by my colleague's with the Golden Heart Award for being the most helpful in our office to other agents!
Even though technology is a major force in our industry today, I still believe that personal service one-on-one or face-to-face with our clients, is the best way to build lasting relationships. Some of my closest friends started as Prospects, then Buyer or Seller Customers, many more than once or twice.
With the younger population, I enlist the expertise of the younger agents' knowledge in technology and the latest marketing techniques. You can never stop learning in our business.
When I represent your interests, you can be confident that I will devote my time and expertise to guiding your real estate transaction to a successful and satisfying closing.

I specialize in the sale of homes in Galveston's unique neighborhoods, resort, beach and bay properties on Galveston Island, West End and East End. After a successful sales career in the pharmaceutical/biotechnology industry, I relocated to Jamaica Beach in 2012 and made the professional change to real estate sales. My sales success is grounded in the ability to carefully listen to and meet my clients' needs. My ultimate goal is to make sure that all transactions are handled efficiently and professionally so that clients can quickly move on to enjoying home ownership on the island. I also easily identify with the needs of second home buyers who want a tranquil escape. Professional Associations: Houston Association of Realtors®, Texas Association of Realtors®, National Association of Realtors®. I also feel that continuing education is vital to my success. Volunteer: The Bryan Museum-Galveston, Jamaica Janes-Jamaica Beach Living here in Jamaica Beach, I get to enjoy spending time at the beach, boating, golf carting and especially spending quality time with family and friends. I love exploring the Island and enjoying all Galveston has to offer.
As a native Galvestonian (BOI) Born on the island has always been a special place for me. After graduating, from Ball High School, I went to work for The San Luis Resort as the Condominium Concierge. While being a great opportunity to meet many interesting people who visit the Island such as Vice President Al Gore, Hakeem Olajuwon, Charles Barkley, Francis Newman Moody, Ruth Harris Kempner and Mr. and Mrs. Hershey (chocolate) six generation descendants from Pennsylvania, I went off to Pharmacy school in South Dakota. Then I went to work for Rapid Regional Hospital Pharmacy and Pharmerica. While expanding my knowledge of Medicines I still yearn to be back home in Galveston, an island with its rich and colorful history. The next 15 years were very busy for me while filling prescriptions at Walmart Pharmacy at the same time I took on a Management position with ABL Management. During this busy period I began to invest in my future with real estate which peeked my interest. Now as a Realtor I am able to pursue my passion for real estate and customer service in facilitating your buying and selling experience in a professional environment. As a member of Houston Association of Realtors MLS with a plethora of properties, marketing and sales information readily available to me which I can use to help negotiate for you.
