Since graduating from the University of Mississippi in 1975, Gary Garland has passionately pursued the skills and sought the wisdom to meet the real estate needs of his clients. As a result, this has produced an outstanding track record which includes positions of leadership at each step of his career as well as Multi-Million $ales since 1978. A few examples include: Sales Manager for Ken Garland Co. Realtors, Founder & Exec. V.P. of Crye-Leike Commercial Division in 1983, Founder & President of RFS Realty Corporation in 1988, and Founder & CEO of Garland Company Real Estate since 1993. Garland Company Real Estate is headquartered in the heart of the commercial district of the world famous Harbor Town Community on the banks of the Mississippi in Downtown Memphis.
In 1998, Gary focused on the real estate development and renaissance of Downtown Memphis. In partnership with Steve Bryan, Jack Belz, and Henry Turley, he helped develop and brokered the sale of Harbor Town Square Apartments and Island Park Apartments on Mud Island. In 1999, he developed Harbor Town’s first mixed-use building, Harbor Town Centre, which today is one of Downtown’s first-class examples of the “Live, Work, Play” lifestyle. In 2002, he won Downtown’s “Historic Preservation Award” for the Hotline Lofts at 421 South Main. Hotline was a vintage 1912 heavy timber warehouse renovated into Main Street level retail and converted into 15 loft apartments, which recently sold out as Hotline Loft Condominiums. His most recent development effort has been the new 16-story riverfront residential high-rise known as The Horizon at 717 Riverside Drive. Serving as Horizon Development Manager, Gary was responsible for its 50% pre-sales prior to construction in 2007.
Throughout his 34-year real estate brokerage career, Gary Garland’s extensive performance has accomplished over $500,000,000 in closed real estate transactions and has established him as one of the most experienced Realtors in Memphis. Today, Gary’s primary focus is developing his family team with wife of 34 years, Kathy Garland.

Chris entered the real estate business in 1987 and has a degree in Real Estate and City Planning. Since 1998 Chris has a dedication in Downtown Commercial and Residential sales, as well as involvement in Retail Leasing. Having a background in Commercial real estate allows Chris the ability to specialize in the sales of Historic buildings and vacant land to future downtown developers. In addition to commercial sales, over the past few years, Chris has also focused in the sales of homes in Harbor Town, South Bluffs and the Downtown City Core.
Tracie has been in the real estate business since 1999; with her first involvement as a co‐owner in a Midtown Real Estate firm to then moving on to strictly Residential Sales. In 2002, Tracie had the pleasure of working closely with several developers and architects in the Residential development and sales of two of the first City Core Condominiums complexes. Having a background in Interior Design and experience in renovating homes in the Midtown area Tracie realized that downtown Memphis was home for herself and her career.
In January of 2004, Tracie Gaia and Chris Garland decided to join forces. Chris’ knowledge of the buildings within our Memphis Skyline was a perfect mesh with Tracie’s experience in Residential Development and Interior Design. Their combined wisdom would make for a perfect pair in assisting Developers and Consumers looking to build and live in Downtown Memphis. As a team Chris and Tracie work together with developers on locating that perfect site for new growth, they participate in planning the development and share the full experience with the Buyers in making the move into the Downtown area. Together, they will plan to be by your side from the point of “Concept to Completion”. Chris and Tracie have found that being involved from day One allows them the opportunity to stay “in tune” with what the Consumer is looking for in a residence in the Downtown Memphis market. Our office is located in Harbor Town. We are the only Real Estate Firm located on the island. We feel our constant "hands on" with the Harbor Town community is also a benefit for individuals looking to live in more of a suburban atmosphere.
Our Business is Downtown Memphis!
