James Hickok

Land Shore Realty is a locally owned, husband-and-wife real estate brokerage based in Surfside Beach, Texas, founded by Grace Reutzel and Jimmy Hickok. Built on generations of coastal roots, Land Shore Realty was created to serve clients who value thoughtful guidance, local expertise, and a deep appreciation for the coastal lifestyle along the Texas Gulf Coast.

Grace and Jimmy both live and work on the island, bringing firsthand, hyper-local knowledge to every transaction. Raised in families of entrepreneurs, contractors, vacation rental managers, and real estate investors, they understand coastal property from every angle, from full-time living to second homes and short-term rentals. This background allows them to help clients navigate not only the purchase or sale itself, but the many details that make coastal real estate unique.

At Land Shore Realty, the focus is never on volume or quick transactions. Instead, the emphasis is on relationships, education, and helping clients make confident, well-informed decisions. Whether clients are buying a beachfront home, selling a canal-front property, or exploring investment opportunities, Grace and Jimmy serve as trusted guides throughout the process.

Land Shore Realty specializes in beachfront and canal-front homes, short-term rental properties, and residential and commercial real estate throughout Surfside Beach and the surrounding coastal communities. Clients work directly with the owners, ensuring a high-touch, personalized experience from the first conversation to closing and beyond.

Rooted in the coast for over 50 years, Grace and Jimmy are passionate about helping others discover Surfside Beach and create lasting memories here, just as their own family has for generations.
