“Cynthia, Cynthia
” I see you everywhere.
written by ALYSSA DELOS REYES
When I sat down with Cynthia Corder for this interview, those were the first words I said – “I see you everywhere”. And it’s true—you can’t miss her impact. From real estate signs dotting Galveston to the lives transformed through her nonprofit, RecoveryChick, Cynthia’s presence is deeply felt.

What Brought Her to Galveston?
Corder What Her to Galveston?
Cynthia’s story is one of transformation, faith, and unyielding purpose. “What brought me to the island?” she muses, “It was Jeremiah 29:11. God had a plan for me here.”
After serving as a chaplain at Harris County Jail in Houston—where her office was a
emotionally depleted. Longing for peace, she took a leap of faith, donated 90% of her
and embraced tiny living in a fifth wheel parked at Tiki Tom’s RV park.
How Did Real Estate Find Her?
Cynthia’s journey took a surprising turn when she began working as a personal trainer at Urban Health and Fitness on Post Office Street.
A client, local real estate broker, and now dear friend, Lynn Beardslee, encouraged her to explore the industry. Starting as an unlicensed assistant, Cynthia quickly discovered her gift for connecting with people and turning dreams into reality. Today, she leads one of the fastest-growing teams in Galveston, The Corder Team, closing an average of 50 homes a year. With expertise in diverse property types— including luxury beachfront homes, short-term rentals, commercial properties, multi-family units, and lots. For Cynthia, it’s never just been about sales; it’s about building community. “Real estate has given me the platform to serve on a larger scale,” she says.
Drives Her Mission?
What Drives Her Mission?
Unexpectedly, her real estate career advanced RecoveryChick the 501(c)(3) nonprofit she founded to support women in addiction recovery.
It began in 2012 when Cynthia was tasked with developing a recovery program for 1,000 incarcerated women. “I saw so many women take the first steps toward healing but struggle to find safe, accessible housing afterward. That stayed with me,” she shares. In October 2018, she opened Judy’s House in honor of her late mother, safe and accessible housing to women in substance abuse recovery. Today, with God’s grace, RecoveryChick has expanded to include Precious Rubies in Dickinson and Victory House, a second sober living home in Galveston.
Cynthia sees RecoveryChick as part of a broader mission to change Galveston’s perception. “People are no longer just coming here to party; they’re coming here to heal,” she says. Her vision is clear: to continue empowering others, whether by guiding clients to their dream homes or offering women in recovery a place to rebuild. “We reach up to learn, but we reach back to help,” she says with conviction. Cynthia Corder isn’t just everywhere; she’s everywhere with purpose, creating a lasting impact of love, hope, and faith.
