Originally from Louisiana, I am a husband, father, LSU alum and former owner of a handful of successful small businesses. I’ve lived in the area for 20 years and have spent most of them learning the distinct nuances of each of the coastal communities that make Florida’s Emerald Coast truly unique. I specialize in the sale of new and existing homes and condos in Destin, South Walton and the communities of 30A including Santa Rosa Beach, Dune Allen Beach, Blue Mountain Beach, Watercolor, Seaside, Grayton Beach, Seagrove Beach, Seacrest Beach and Rosemary Beach.
Like many families, I spent countless summer vacations in Destin dating back to the mid 70’s - back before the Emerald Coast was “discovered” by the rest of the world. It was during those childhood vacations that I fell in love with this area and decided it is where I wanted to live as an adult. My dream came true in 1995 and my family and I have been living happily ever since! Having spent the past 40 years living and vacationing in the area, I have a very intimate and “local’s” perspective on the communities’ history, growth and lifestyle.
Leveraging my experience as a successful business owner, I am known for outstanding client service, 24/7 availability, relationship building, and as a skilled negotiator with my client’s best interests at heart. I believe strongly that it is not only my duty to represent my clients to the best of my ability but also to educate them throughout every step of the process, arming them with the most accurate information and market insight so that they make the best decisions possible. I am honest, sometimes telling clients things they might not want to hear, hard working and extremely knowledgeable about our local real estate industry. And I pride myself on maintaining a great working relationship with other top Realtors throughout Northwest Florida.
I am very passionate about my job because I understand how emotional a real estate transaction is for most of my clients. Many times it is one of the largest financial decisions they will make in their lifetime. If it’s not a perfect fit, I am not one to encourage my clients to settle on what’s currently available; rather we will continue to search until we find that perfect property. It is not uncommon for me to work with my clients for two years and beyond, watching market conditions and patiently waiting for the right, special property to come along. And I work just as hard for my selling customers. My approach to marketing a “for sale” property is a little different and usually yields a faster result. Please contact me to find out how I plan to do it!
