Norma is client focused, professional, and she understands the real estate market. In prior years I've engaged various other realtors but none have performed like Norma. She will always be my go to agent!

Norma (and her team) expertise on the island market is evident, that she gets her sales done.
Her ability to manage the sale, and her professional reputation is why we bought our 1st beachfront house from her and sold one from her.
Her negotiation skills are first rate, she consistently found ways to get us our best deals.
She's always my recommendation to other buyers/sellers.
Selling and buying is so stressful and I don't think you can get away from it, but you can help yourself with experts like Norma.

Norma has been our realtor on three transactions so far. She is extremely knowledgeable about the entire Rio Grande Valley, and especially South Padre Island. We appreciate Norma and Shaela’s professionalism, knowledge, friendliness and ability to get the job done.

Norma went above and beyond helping us sell our home. She is a true professional and a warm and caring individual who relates to you on a personal level as well.
Norma was also a life saver and helped me find a longterm rental property in this very tough rental market where short term/vacation rentals rule.

We chose Norma as our selling agent on two properties on SPI because we wanted to sell fast and she had sold the most properties on SPI last year. She really came through for us and both of our properties sold far faster than our most optimistic expectations. She made our part of the process very easy and painless. We recommend her highly.

I have been in real estate for nearly 33 years and have seldom come across an agent with Norma's professionalism and responsiveness. No call or email ever went more than a couple of hours without a detailed response. A keen negotiator and "by the letter" policy where real estate law was concerned all contributed to my sister and I rating her services a perfect 10 out of 10!

Norma is definitely the ticket to your South Padre Island condo purchase: She found us a premier off-market listing in this highly competitive seller's market!! She spent tons of time showing us properties in several complexes and she knows owners and managers. She is determined, efficient, responsive and knowledgeable--without being pushy. We couldn't be more pleased!!

Norma is the type of realtor who truly works around the clock to get what you want/request. She is attentive to detail, understand your wants, desires, needs while ensuring you have a smooth transition to closing. From knowing the players, the market, the properties in SPI to making you you are at peace at night. No wonder she was selected by HGTV to do a special on real estate in SPI. Simply the best.

Norma certainly knew the South Padre Island real estate market and was able to tell us when our condominium values increased so we could correctly time our entry into the market. She helped us set a great price for our property. The listing that she created was exceptional with beautiful photography. There are tense moments in negotiations and she was able to smooth the way forward. Norma went above and beyond in providing us with great service!

Norma and her team were great to work with. She spent so much time understanding what my wife and were looking for, she showed us countless properties, and she shared her personal and professional judgment on the pros and cons of each one. We never felt any pressure and we always knew that Norma was on our side and working for us. In my personal and professional capacity I have worked with dozens of realtors, and there is nobody better than Norma.

Norma Turkington was our expert guide, as my wife and I recently purchased a condo on the beach in South Padre Island. We knew what we wanted, but did not know the Island well and Norma expertly and patiently guided us through the process. She really went the extra mile, turning up properties that were not currently listed and doing some detective work to help us understand the various properties we liked. As a long time resident, she has deep insight into the various parts of the island. She was always quick to respond to any questions we had after we did our tours and made an offer. She was there to inform, when needed, to hold our hands, when things moved on Island time and to deliver a gentle prod to keep things moving. Norma is a real treasure. A+++

Norma came highly recommended to me from a friend. I really liked working with her. She knows this market inside and out and she listened to my needs. Once we signed a contract, Norma did a great job of keeping us informed of where we were in the process. She also returned all my phone calls, emails, and texts promptly. I recommended her to my friends and she was able to find the right place for them too. I listed a property with her and she was able to sell it for me quickly. Norma rocks!

Norma did a great job selling our house. Even in a down market, she was able to get us two offers! Needless to say we were very happy with her. Highly recommended!

One of the top agent on South Padre Island, Norma seems to know all the facts. She understands current market values and helps buyers and sellers find a middle ground to make the sale. Norma knows the best lenders, title companies, and often needed tradesmen to get the job done. Can't imagine how anyone could take better care of me.

Norma Turkington is a consummate professional! I have known Norma for many years. She is high energy, experienced and can be relied on to offer the correct assessment of the market place. Norma helped me sell my Condo in a hard market. She has many contacts and offers a broad network of peers. Norma advertised and sought different venue of interest. She was well organized, extremely persistent and communicated with punctuality and personality. People like Norma and the way she conducts business. You won't be disappointed. -Joe Reagan
