Sue Johnson has been in the Real Estate business for over 50 years. Since 1998 she has been serving her clients needs on Galveston and Tiki Island specializing in coastal beach resort sales including beach front, beachside, dry land, canal and bay front homes, vacant lots and vacation investment properties.



Sue's extensive knowledge derives from her successful broker ownership of her own Real Estate business in the Dallas Metroplex area for 6 years. Sue's husband, Gary was relocated to the eastern suburb of Dallas: Rockwall, Texas. After relocating, Sue spearheaded a Relocation department at the largest firm in Rockwall, Barbara Hensley Realtors, where she perfected her practice for 16 years. When Gary decided to take early retirement from TU Electric, they decided to move to where their second home and favorite escape was located: Galveston Island. Sue's passion for Real Estate led her to Pirates Beach and Cove Realty on the west end of the island which later became Sand 'N Sea Properties. Sue's love for the island blossomed and her focus quickly became her beach home passion. She grew her business at Sand 'N Sea for 15 years and after a great deal of soul-searching, she went to Heritage Texas Properties in 2013, where she inevitability became one of the Top 2 Agents on Galveston Island. In 2019, Heritage Texas Properties merged with Better Homes and Gardens, Gary Greene. The brokerage remained the same top notch company they have always been and by joining forces, they are now the largest real estate company in the Greater Houston/Galveston Metroplex.

Her true core beliefs are helping everyone with their real estate needs, no matter the price of a property. Each client is treated like a multimillion-dollar client!

I am highly motivated in the Real Estate market in Galveston County. I have bought and sold several homes, as well as managed my own vacation rental in Galveston since 2009. I moved to Houston in 1991, from Ohio, and spent 25 years in the Oil and Gas Industry working in Project Management and Finance. I retired and moved to Galveston in 2016. Leveraging my experience as a successful business owner and as a team player working with Fortune 500 companies, I am known for outstanding client service with 24/7 availability, high tech marketing techniques, and a skilled negotiator with my client's best interest at heart. I believe strongly that it is not only my duty to represent my clients to the best of my ability, but also to educate them through every step of the process armed with top notch information and market insight so my clients can make the best decisions possible. I am a firm believer in giving back and am passionate about several things, including animal rescue. I am a volunteer at the Galveston Humane Society and foster kittens and puppies for adoption, as well as being actively involved in the TNR program. I, also donate to Wounded Warriors and Shriner's Children's Hospital in Galveston. In my free time, I enjoy running, kayaking, walking the beach and social events, as a member of several committees on the Island.

I started my career in real estate in February, 2013 in Dallas/Fort Worth as a part time agent representing buyers. Because of my passion for helping others buy and sell real estate I made the move from Fort Worth to Galveston to pursue a full time career in real estate. Finding the right Realtor to work for you is the most important step in buying or selling a home. I am a real estate professional with integrity, professionalism, effective communication/negotiation skills and one who will always put your interests and needs first.

I have spent my entire career in service related industries, including 20 years with Frito Lay Inc., who encouraged development of strengths. This helped me to hone strong negotiation skills, management of detailed processes, expertise in interpersonal communication skills and the ability to work well with all types of people. My keen attention to detail has helped my clients avoid unnecessary headaches, delays and excess expenditures and I have a personal passion for helping others reach their desired goal or outcome.

On a personal note, I have been married to my amazing wife for over 34 years and have 3 daughters and 3 dogs. I enjoy all the benefits of island life including golf, fishing, kayaking and everything else the island has to offer.
