About Gayle Tremblay

If I had to choose one word to describe myself, it would be “blessed.” Time and again, chance encounters and experiences have changed the course of my life for the better. Situations that initially seemed like the worst possible outcomes almost always turned out to be far from it.

A few years ago, a birthday lunch and a long conversation with a very close friend led to my current role in real estate. I didn’t go to lunch that day with a new adventure in mind, but I left with a renewed sense of purpose and excitement, deciding to build on my long career in sales—this time in the world of actual “bricks-and-mortar” instead of fashion.

As a young woman, sheer luck brought me to an entry-level job in retail, where my inquisitive and determined spirit helped me advance through the ranks at Dallas’ beloved Neiman Marcus. I managed several full-line stores, led the start-up of NeimanMarcus.com, and eventually ran the 28-store Last Call division. Inspired by many mentors over the years, I developed a true entrepreneurial spirit within a very large and successful company.

My time in real estate has allowed me to build on that foundation and continue doing what I really love: connecting with people. Building a network, paying attention to detail, and finding positive outcomes for clients keeps me going every day.

I have served on the boards of numerous non-profit and professional organizations, as well as on the Board of my HOA. I’ve also been involved in many charitable fundraising projects and have been a featured speaker at several retail symposiums and university lecture series. I am a proud 7th-generation Texan.

While at Neiman Marcus, I met my wonderful husband Roger when he called on me to sell advertising. He got the sale, and I got him.
