Highly Recommend Sidney Tregre
I am currently relocating to Galveston from Wimberley, Texas. I used Sidney as my real estate agent. She is an intelligent professional woman that works in the best interest of her clients. She has a bright personality and a wonderful sense of humor.
I had limited time to view houses. When I hit town Sidney was waiting for me and she knocked it out of the park. I see her as extremely capable of assessing her client’s needs.
Not only did Sidney handle my housing needs, but she educated me about Galveston and made suggestions about how I might find my place in the community. She told me about the community events, restaurants, etc. I left Galveston much more relaxed about the big change I am making. I truly appreciate her professionalism and her kindness.
For my real estate needs I will be calling Sidney Tregre.

....I knew I made the correct choice
When I decided to sell my property in Galveston, I carefully researched the numerous real estate companies. When I reviewed the listings by Sidney Tregre, I was immediately convinced that she would best represent my interests.
After meeting with Sidney, I knew that I had made the correct choice. During her first visit to my home, she carefully pointed out the changes that would make my property more appealing. I followed her suggestions and was amazed to see how much her ideas enhanced the appearance of my home.
Sidney was never rushed. She treated me as if I were her most important client. She took countless pictures of every room and concentrated on promoting the view from the windows. Her evaluation of the view as the most outstanding feature in our home was perfect. She advertised that feature in her literature and had instant interested buyers.
My gratitude for Sidney's relentless efforts to sell my home is impossible to express. She represented my interests in every offer from potential buyers. Sidney never encouraged the reduction of the price for a quick sale. She made sure that I got my original listed price.
If you are in the market for a real estate agent who will truly value your business and will devote her attention to your sale without regard to the size of her commission, select Sidney. I guarantee that you will never regret your choice.
When my sale was concluded and all papers signed, I was sure that Sidney must have hidden her wings, for she was truly my guardian angel throughout the entire sale of my home.

...smart, experienced, and has a keen penchant for marketing.
We enjoyed working with Sidney from the get-go. She always had our best interest in mind and gave good advice for selling our house. She's smart, experienced, and has a keen penchant for marketing. Because of her knowledge and diligence we were able to sell our house (which needed some work; it was an estate) at or above market value. We highly recommend her.

Knowledge, research, relationships, and more.
Sidney Tregre is more than a real estate agent- she is an expert on how to get things done. She was the ONLY person I met that was willing and able to research and create a solution to a tricky real estate question for me.
When I wanted to buy and build on a piece of inexpensive, beautiful, but flood plane property, Sid started working with surveyors, engineers and city officials to research and develop a resolution that would allow me to complete my project. She used her vast resources- knowledge of the relevant codes, the permitting/variance process, local planning boards, her own real estate development experience, and even her relationships with the agency staff- to craft a clear and workable plan.
But the real advantage for me was that Sid was willing to get out and actually do the legwork necessary to truly assure that the information she had was correct. She personally researched the history of the property and even talked to neighbors and previous owners to gather information about what had been done, what could be done, and what the neighbors’ expectations were regarding the property.
Sidney was great at communicating the advantages, disadvantages, and risks associated with the project. With Sidney, I felt like my family was working for me: she always had my best interest at heart, and she worked much harder than I could have expected her to.
I highly recommend Sidney Tregre if you have a real estate problem that requires the work ethic of Erin Brockovich, or the diplomacy of Kissinger, or the creative and problem-solving skills of Frank Lloyd Wright. She rocks!

Selling a house... finding a house
I am grateful to Sidney Tregre for all of her hard work in selling my house, and in finding my new home. She worked tirelessly researching home markets to bring me the best price possible.
Her knowledge of Galveston, and ability to really see what a property has versus what it needs to be a home was an invaluable asset. I am thankful for her patience, advice and her ability to handle any complication thrown my way. She is the best , and a true pleasure to work with.

Second home on a new city
“When my family decided to purchase a second home in Galveston – a new city for us, hundreds of miles from our home base of San Antonio – we knew we would need a very special realtor to help.
We would need one who was able, and willing, to take time introducing us to the city, sharing market insight, familiarizing us with the distinct neighborhoods, educating us to opportunities and issues that weren’t known to us as out-of-towners. We would need a realtor who was patient and flexible, one willing to work around our limited time in the city. We found all of that with Sidney Tregre, and so much more.
In Sidney, I really do feel like we found a friend. She counseled and advised us as a concerned friend would do. She advocated for us, looked out for our interests, like a protective friend would do. And when finally we found our perfect property, Sidney rolled up her sleeves and did everything in her power to secure it for terms that were as advantageous as possible to us. Even now, months after the purchase, I know I can rely on Sidney for….well….just about anything that I might need to make Galveston and our new house there feel like a home.”

Looking for business properties?
“I have been gifted with a lifelong friendship with Sidney Tregre. She and I were gifted with two amazing and beautiful daughters the same age. My husband and I ventured into owning our own business. Because Sid already owned her own business, her advice to Gary was immeasurable.
My experience with Sid has been that she made it real for us to own a building for our business and advised Gary through difficult tax repairs. Our business flourished with her advice. Ms. Tregre has honor, she will see you through and won’t bail.”

Selling a historic house
“I became a client of Sidney’s when she represented me in the sale of my home. This was not an ordinary home. It was a house on the local, state and national historic registers- a home with a unique market I had used the house as home and office for a number of years and it was one of my primary assets.
Sidney demonstrated an uncanny sense of timing, artistry in presentation, and solid business advice for pricing and negotiations. Sidney is attuned to the problems inherent (and solutions for) selling historic homes. She took the counselor role and made the process seamless and far less stressful than I anticipated. She also obtained for me a very nice price.
Because of our business relationship, I also became aware of how others perceive Sidney. Anyone who is successful in business will have rivals. When your rivals say you are tough, that is perhaps the highest compliment that they could pay you. That is what I heard about Sidney. I can recommend Sidney without reservation.”
