Galveston Real Estate Agents

About Me:

Originally from Michigan, I lived in San Diego for ten years after graduating college until my wife and I moved to Texas to be closer to her family. Prior to real estate, I earned a bachelor's degree in Business Administration from Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan. As a real estate broker, my mission is to introduce buyers to a community where they feel a connection, and help sellers with the sale of their home so that they can experience a smooth transition into the home that best accommodates their current needs and situation.

Stemming from my desire to interact with people in a challenging career, business endeavors range from the telecommunications industry where I held positions in management, to working with my family's beach rental business.

After recognizing the potential in the vacation home business, I earned my real estate license in order to take a more active role in the family business, as well as expand my own business into residential sales.

Determined, hardworking, knowledgeable, and adaptable are a few of the characteristics that attribute to my success. However, my incomparable strength is attention to detail, which is an instrumental component in every phase of the real estate transaction. Furthermore, I emphasize the importance of communication, which is paramount to delivering exemplary customer service. I listen to clients' needs and wants, educate them throughout the process, and keep them informed every step of the way, even if there are no updates available.

April Didrikson, Broker Associate, was born in Houston, TX, and grew up in East Texas. Her family has enjoyed Galveston Island for generations as their home away from home. April's great grandparents, Norwegian immigrants, first stepped on American soil on the Texas Gulf Coast in the early 1900s.

As an award winning business owner, April has more than 25 years as a hospitality professional and has owned businesses for 20 years and counting. She brings her proven hospitality expertise to real estate with more than 400 five star reviews as owner of Galveston Vacation Rentals LLC.

April's knowledge of Galveston's diverse community, unique architecture/history and local businesses play a critical role in finding your perfect island home, property or business. You can live, work and play island style.

April lives in Galveston with her beloved 21 year old poodle, Biscotti. Biscotti is CCO, Chief Canine Officer of Galveston Vacation Rentals and often times is the first to meet a client at the door of April's real estate office. Biscotti is also known to chase brown pelicans and seagulls on the sandy beaches of our beautiful Galveston Island.

My family has been buying, selling and building homes in Galveston since the 1870's - Galveston will always be my home, and I consider it an honor to assist buyers and sellers everyday. My wife and I restore historic island homes and many of those restorations can be seen on DIY Network's "Big Texas Fix". Check us out, and and give Save 1900 Realty a call...we look forward to working with you and maximizing your investment. Cheers!

Born and raised in Kingston, Jamaica, I received my Bachelors degree there, and received my MBA in Toronto, Canada. I left the corporate world after 20 years in a high-tech industry, looking for a new and different challenge. Residential and commercial real estate is the next logical step on the professional ladder for me, since I have always wanted to help people make investment or change-choices of their own.

My promise is to share ideas, educate, and use my aptitude for numbers and technology to make a difference when you sell or buy.  With the increasing number of new homes being built, the average person making a home change every 5 to 8 years, and businesses making changes to adapt to these new developments, there are a lot of opportunities to buy, sell and invest in real estate.   

I continue to diversify in real estate making it easier for me to answer your questions and give you real advice. In 2012 I formed RockCenter Realty, as Broker Owner, after 8 years as a Realtor with a national company. I believe that one can do anything that one believes in.
RockCenter was my vision of strength; the Rock in the Center of the Universe. The image of a house built on a Rock never faltering.

I have been on the Boards of Directors of 2 major subdivisions, been Chairperson of the Fort Bend chapter of HAR for 2 years, assisted clients in becoming investors, have become an investor myself with properties providing retirement income, manage my own properties and my clients properties, and managed a condo Home Owners Association in Galveston, Texas.

I look forward to helping you sell or lease your house, condo, commercial property or land or help you to buy real estate, anywhere in Texas. Think Key! Every KEY begins with KAY!

I was born in Germany and have lived all over the world, being the daughter of an Air Force Officer. I chose to make Galveston my home. I lived in Sea Isle briefly in 1996, then moved to Atlanta, Georgia for the next 13 years. In 2009, I received my bachelor's degree in Film/Video with a minor in English at Georgia State University. I worked as a paralegal/legal assistant for the duration in Atlanta. I returned to Galveston Island, specifically Jamaica Beach, in January 2010. After bartending for nearly 10 years, I decided to finish/update my real estate classes, which I completed in 1996 in Texas. At the time, I didn't sit for the exam to obtain my license as I moved to Georgia. I am enjoying my 5th year as a Realtor at Galveston Island Real Estate. I am currently taking classes to become a broker. I hope to finish by the end of 2023. Besides working as a Realtor, I am in the process of writing a screenplay. I enjoy playing piano, guitar & drums in my 'free' time. I am involved in the community through the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) and the Galveston Citizens Police Alumni Association (GCPAA), as Sergeant at Arms.

Real estate is a powerful thing. Where you live becomes the center of your universe: your home base and a place where memories are made. Even an investment property can have a profound effect on your life's story when chosen correctly, it becomes long-term financial freedom and a vital part of your well-diversified portfolio.

When I am not making homeownership dreams come true for my clients, I love fishing, playing tennis, swimming, and most of all, spending time with my family. I'm a proud resident of the Bayou Vista community and have fallen in love with the people and the waterfront lifestyle.
