Marks Chowning
Drawn by the allure of the sea, Marks and his family relocated to Galveston from Las Vegas in 2015. Today, they proudly call Galveston and the stunning Texas Gulf Coast home.
Marks joined Martha Turner Sotheby’s International Realty in 2023, bringing over a decade of experience in residential real estate across both Texas and Nevada. As a long-time resident and seasoned professional in Galveston’s coastal market, Marks offers expertise in issues unique to the region—including flood and wind insurance, coastal building codes, and specialized construction requirements.
His real estate practice is focused almost exclusively on Galveston Island, where he offers valuable insights into home renovation, commercial construction, and historic preservation—skills especially beneficial given the abundance of older homes and landmark properties in the area.
Clients consistently praise Marks for his optimistic approach, creative problem-solving, sharp negotiating skills, and unwavering commitment throughout each transaction. He prides himself on exceeding expectations and creating win-win outcomes that address every aspect of his clients’ real estate needs.
When he’s not immersed in real estate, Marks enjoys golfing on the island’s scenic courses, cultivating tropical plants, and savoring the freshest local seafood. You’re also likely to spot him exploring Galveston by golf cart, sharing sunsets with friends, or relaxing on his porch with a breeze off the bay.
Whether you're buying, selling, or investing, Marks is ready to help you navigate every step with insight, integrity, and a touch of island charm.

“I highly recommend Marks Chowning after he helped me sell my property at a fair ... “I highly recommend Marks Chowning after he helped me sell my property at a fair price during very challenging market conditions. His engaging personality, extensive experience and enthusiastic performance validated his well-earned reputation. Marks really came through for me with market research and practical advice that got us running right out of the gate with a solid price. His aggressive marketing began even before we listed, by reaching out early to contacts, launching publicity, and holding several open houses. To keep the flow uninterrupted, he arranged contractor visits and met service people when I couldn’t be there - all during a very hot summer! Marks’ timely communication reassured me throughout the process, and his strong follow-up with potential buyers really paid off with a sale more quickly than expected. Super job!" Read more
