 Karen Moore Karen has held her real estate license since 1994 and is currently starting her 13th 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 world famous 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 popular 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."
