About Bet Jennings
Bet is a fifth-generation native Texan and native Houstonian. She has owned a second home in Galveston since 2007 and fell in love with the island lifestyle, eventually making Galveston her primary residence. Growing up in a farming and ranching family, Bet developed a strong work ethic early on. With Galveston only an hour away, her family frequently visited, creating lasting memories. Her parents always emphasized that real estate was the best overall investment—advice that left a lasting impression on her.
‘Bet’ was a nickname given to her by her dad and his friends. He would say, “You can Bet on her—just give her the ball and let her run.” That spirit of determination and reliability defines her approach to real estate. She genuinely loves what she does and works tirelessly for her clients. Today, she lives, works, and plays in Galveston, embracing everything the island has to offer.
Bet feels equally at home in the city, on the beach in Galveston, and in the countryside west of Houston. Her business spans the best neighborhoods of Galveston, while she also maintains a strong presence in Houston’s premier areas. With many second-home and resort property owners in Galveston coming from Houston, it was a natural progression for her to assist clients in both locations. Since 2008, she has specialized in the Pirates communities of Laffite’s Cove, Pirates Cove, Pirates Beach, and Pirates Beach West on the West End of Galveston.
Active in her church and community, Bet also serves on several Galveston boards. Over the years, she has built deep, lasting friendships with her clients and their families. Her business is multi-generational, often helping parents, grandparents, and children of the same family buy and sell homes within the same year. She goes above and beyond to ensure the real estate process is as smooth and stress-free as possible.
Bet consistently ranks as a GK Top Producer and was recognized in both 2022 and 2023 by Real Trends as one of America’s Best Real Estate Professionals in Texas. She is an excellent communicator, keeping her clients informed through email, phone, or text. Her goal is to guide clients through the real estate process, making it a positive and rewarding experience.
When she’s not working, Bet enjoys reading, gardening (she is a Master Gardener), fishing, hiking, kayaking, biking, and taking long walks on the beach. She is married and has a son and daughter, proudly flying the flags of all their universities—UT, Texas A&M, and the University of Houston—at her Galveston home. Her constant companion is her beloved Chiweenie, who loves riding along with her as she checks on listings.
Bet’s goal is simple: to exceed her clients’ expectations with a sincere, honest, and straightforward approach. Her business is built on providing excellent service to every client, ensuring that each real estate journey is a success.
