In 2004, Jana Turner, a native Houstonian, decided to permanently trade in her city life for the laid-back lifestyle of Galveston Island. Her passion for coastal living has been passed down to her three daughters each of whom live on a different coast; East, West and Gulf. Since moving to the Island, she has owned both beachside and historical properties and has a separate love for each type of retreat. Jana prides herself on helping buyers find the perfect home according to their lifestyle.

Jana incorporates enthusiasm, integrity and dedication to her clients - all mixed with a sense of humor throughout the transaction. Her problem solving and people skills and her past sales experience (8+ years as an interior designer, then 13 years as a manufacturer's sales representative) bring together all the qualities needed to succeed as a buyer's or seller's advocate.

Committed to stellar customer service, Jana has obtained CRS (Certified Residential Specialist) and GRI (Graduate Real Estate Institute) designations. She is currently working toward the RSPS (Resort and Second Home Property Specialist). She is a member of the GAR, HAR, TAR and NAR as well as serving on the Multiple Listing Service Committee for the Galveston Association of Realtors.

Jana built a vacation rental property in 1998 which she rented through Sand `N Sea (when not enjoying it herself!) She has had extensive experience and exposure to investments in real estate, including 1031 exchanges. Prior to her career in real estate, she had ample exposure to the field; her husband was a real estate developer.

Jana has been heavily involved in philanthropic endeavors and especially enjoyed her work as a child advocate for Fort Bend CASA. Jana is a member of the Galveston Historical Foundation and sits on the advisory board of The 1894 Grand Opera House. Hobbies include tennis, reading, mahjongg, traveling, walking on the beach and spending time with family and friends.
