Meet Gary – Your Trusted Local Expert and Real Estate Advisor on the Emerald Coast
With over two decades of real estate experience and deep roots in the Northwest Florida community, Gary has been a licensed Florida REALTOR® since 2004 and proudly serving with Northwest Florida Beaches—with Sandestin Real Estate; now The Agency Northwest Florida Beaches—since 2007.
Gary is your go-to expert from Destin to Inlet Beach and beyond. He knows the ins and outs of every coastal community along the scenic 30A corridor, including Destin, Miramar Beach, Sandestin, Santa Rosa Beach, Gulf Place, Blue Mountain Beach, Grayton Beach, WaterColor, Seaside, Seagrove, Camp Creek, WaterSound, Alys Beach, and Rosemary Beach. His passion for the area and its people is unmatched—and it shows in his work and results.
If you've never been to the Emerald Coast, Gary encourages you to experience it for yourself. Whether you're drawn by the sugar-white sands, emerald-green waters, breathtaking sunsets, championship golf, world-class fishing, boutique shopping, or fine dining—there's simply no place quite like it. Once you visit, you may never want to leave. He didn’t.
Gary’s journey with The Agency began with perseverance. It took three years to earn his place at Sandestin Real Estate on one of the most respected and prestigious REALTOR®-affiliated teams in the state. Joining the team in 2007 was a dream realized—especially being part of Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort, a place he lovingly refers to as his “Notre Dame” (a nod to the movie Rudy). Since moving to the area in 2001, he knew this is where he was meant to be.
With a strong background in custom home building and real estate, Gary brings invaluable experience and insight to his clients. His passion for the Emerald Coast, Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort, and the people he serves has helped him earn a long list of accolades:
•2010 Agent of the Year
•2016 Top Selling Agent
•2022 Rate My Agent of the Year – Miramar Beach
•2022 Rate My Agent of the Year – Walton County
•2023 Top Selling Agent
•2024 Agent of the Year – The Agency Northwest Florida Beaches
These achievements have earned him the affectionate nickname “Mr. Mayor”—a title that reflects both his local knowledge and the trust his clients place in him.
Originally from St. Louis (Go Cardinals!-Go Blues!), Gary is an avid golfer, boater, and driving enthusiast who now proudly calls Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort home.
Whether you're looking for a vacation property, a forever home, or a place to create your own “Family Legacy Gathering Place”, Gary is here to help you every step of the way.
“Come to play,,, Stay for life!”
Give Gary a call—you’ll be glad you did.
