Karen Moore
Karen has held her real estate license since 1994 and is currently
in her 10th year with Troy Giles Realty. Karen came to the area from
Dallas where she was self employed as a private investigator for
many years. The Island pace brought out her more creative side and
she began working to bring the artist Wyland to paint one of his
famous marine murals. Efforts were successful with the assistance of
the South Padre Island Community Foundation (SPICF) and over 100
volunteers. The South Padre Island Convention Centre is a poplar
attraction where Mural #53 can be viewed. Described as a "career
volunteer," Karen has served with the SPICF since 1991 and is
currently Vice-President. She is also an advisory board member of
the Texas International Fishing Tournament (TIFT), the largest
tournament in the state of Texas. In the past, Karen has served on
various boards to include the Property Listing Service (PLS), the
Valley Proud Environmental Council, the Rio Grande Valley Music
Festival, and the South Padre Island Beautification Committee (10
years). She wrote a regular newspaper column, "For Padre's Sake,"
supporting area beautification efforts.
Karen's belief is: "It is much easier to
welcome a new buyer or sell an existing property when your
community is clean, beautiful, and has quality activities for
families to enjoy. It just goes hand-in-hand."
Karen is a mother to five grown children and has been blessed with
nine grandchildren. Her youngest
granddaughter, Miya, age 6, lives on South Padre Island and attends
Garriga Elementary in Port Isabel.
Other family members visit regularly. That's what happens when you
live on the Island! Karen, indeed,
as a vested interest in making the area a great place to live. |
