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. Whether you are in the market for residential, investment, commercial, vacation home located in Galveston or Houston, I look forward in working with you on your real estate adventure. Give me a call (409) 877-2116.

I have been active in the restoration of my own Victorian era houses, and was actively involved in laying the groundwork for the formation of the San Jacinto Historical Conservation District. Currently I serve as the Texas Realtor's Region 10 political involvement committee representative. I am a past Chair of the Galveston Association of Realtors, have been Chair of the GAR Multiple Listing Service, Chair of the City of Galveston Arts and Historic Advisory Committee.

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.

A Little About Me-

My interest and passion for Real Estate began in the early 1990's, when my husband and I were beginning the search for our first home. Since then, we have moved 6 times and lived in 4 cities in Texas. Four of these moves included building our new home. I just love the process and, yes, we are still happily married!



In the early 2000's, we continued our Real Estate adventure and purchased, remodeled and flipped 2 properties in the North Houston area. I would have to say that our very latest endeavors have been my favorite, so far. In 2019, we purchased a 1913 historic cottage, in Galveston, and completely remodeled it. We maintained the historic features and charm of the home, while bringing it up to date with all the modern conveniences. The home was featured on the GHF Historic Home Tour in 2021. We are now working on a 1900 Storm Survivor, that will hit the market soon! Having lived on the island in my youth, I grew to love everything about Galveston. I want to share that love and experience with others and can't wait to help you find your perfect Island home.

What I Will Do for you-

I will take my passion for Real Estate and focus it on you and your Real Estate needs. I am fully committed to seeing you through the process of selling, buying or leasing your home with ease and confidence, with honesty, integrity and compassion. I make it a promise to effectively communicate with you throughout the process and I will work to ensure your next Real Estate adventure is as easy as possible.

Natasha Pierce has 5 years of experience as a REALTOR® and has been in the real estate world for 10 years! She is based out of Galveston, TX and serves the Galveston/Houston area. Natasha began her real estate journey in 2014 when she first heard about vacation rentals. This was a fairly new concept on the island, as Galveston was rebuilding after Hurricane Ike. This propelled her into moving out of her home near the beach and rent it as a vacation rental. Natasha quickly learned she was on to something and soon after, so did her neighbors. She started managing her own vacation rentals as well as the neighbor's vacation rentals. With her growing love of real estate, Natasha decided to become a real estate agent. She absolutely loves what she does! Natasha takes pride in her work ethic, negotiating skills, attention to detail and communication skills. Not sure where to start? Call or text Natasha.

Kimberly Saward holds the distinction of being a top producer and a year to date leader as a Realtor. No doubt both goals were achieved because of her simple but powerful work philosophy and action step – she's happy to help and appreciates each client.

Kimberly attributes her success to her ability to anticipate the needs of her clients and her propensity to be kind and thoughtful. Her thoroughness, attention to detail, and the professional staging and photography she provides for each listing, which she feels make her unique from others in her profession, enhance her client service and process. Kimberly brings personal life skills to the business of home buying and selling as she has moved, purchased and sold homes state to state and within Texas. Additionally, her prior role as a stay-at-home mom has made her a "great project manager."

Kimberly is a member of the Texas Association of Realtors® Political Action Committee (TREPAC) and a supporter of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. In addition to homes, architecture and interior design, her other loves include decorating, exercising, gardening and good eating. She is a native of Tulsa, Oklahoma and proudly claims Galveston as her home. She and her husband have two children.

Edie's commission won't ever be enough to cover the amount of time she has to spend, one client said. Another stated, she was a godsend. It was the best real estate experience I've ever had. Her commendations aren't by accident. Over 20 years in the business have taught me all of the tricks of the trade, and as a native Galvestonian, she knows the island inside and out, including its key players. While I carry a passion for real estate, my real devotion comes from the relationships I build.
