Selling your home is one of the biggest financial decisions you'll make — and you deserve an advocate who treats it that way.
I'm Tawnya Marney, a Houston listing specialist with over 12 years of real estate experience and a background that most agents simply don't have. Before real estate, I spent 20 years in corporate procurement negotiating multimillion-dollar contracts. Combined with 12+ years in real estate, I bring over three decades of high-stakes negotiation experience to every transaction — and when I'm at the table on your behalf, I know exactly how to protect your position, your timeline, and your bottom line.
I specialize in the Oak Forest, Garden Oaks, and Inner Loop neighborhoods — communities I know deeply, not just professionally. My approach is fully digital and detail-driven, designed to keep your transaction moving smoothly without unnecessary stress or confusion. What that looks like in practice: a clear process, consistent communication, and zero dropped balls from listing day to closing table.
Over my 12+ year career, my listings have sold at a median 96.23% of list price — and in a market where homes are averaging 74 days to sell, my sellers have consistently closed in nearly half that time. That's not luck. That's strategy, preparation, and knowing exactly how to position a home to attract the right buyers. Don't take my word for it — my clients have rated me 4.92 out of 5 stars, and their reviews are available right here on my HAR profile.
What makes that strategy possible is the depth behind it. Every listing gets a customized marketing plan built on certified expertise in digital marketing, strategic marketing, and seller representation. I hold the Seller Representative Specialist (SRS) designation along with credentials in resort and second-home sales, strategic marketing, and digital marketing — and as a TREC-certified continuing education instructor, I'm not just practicing real estate, I'm helping shape how it's taught in Texas. I also spent years behind the scenes of a Houston brokerage managing compliance and overseeing transactions from contract to close. I know what can go wrong, because I've helped fix it.
My style? Elevated service without the ego. Think jeans and tennis shoes — approachable, grounded, and completely in your corner from day one. Oak Forest homeowners trust me to protect what they've built and get them to the closing table with confidence.
