When I decided to move to Destin I really wasn’t that familiar with the area. I am an explorer by nature so I made it a point to explore everything and everywhere. Including all the coastal communities along 30A. From Destin, Miramar Beach, Sandestin, Santa Rosa Beach, Gulf Place, Blue Mountain Beach, Grayton Beach, Watercolor, Seaside, Seagrove, Camp Creek, Watersound, Alys Beach, to Rosemary Beach. I discovered the charm and what makes this area so very special. It’s also why people keep coming back. Including myself! If you have never visited the area I highly recommend you do so. You will be glad you did! Whether it’s our glorious white sandy beaches, emerald waters, sunrises, sunsets, golf, tennis, biking, fishing, boating, dining, shopping, or simply relaxing. There simply isn’t any place as unique and gorgeous as The Emerald Coast. It’s so beautiful! I had the pleasure of joining the SRE, Sandestin Real Estate Sales team in 2007. I say pleasure because it took 4 years of perseverance to finally obtain the position. It is one of the most regarded Realtor positions in the State of Florida. I had wanted to be a part of Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort since I moved to the area in 2001. Sandestin is my “Rudy” for those of you familiar with the movie. I bring several years of custom home building and real estate experience to our team. It was that experience, my love for the area, Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort, and my clients that propelled me to the 2010 Agent of the Year with SRE, Sandestin Real Estate Sales, an accomplishment I am very proud of. I am originally from St. Louis (GO CARDINALS!!!) and I am an avid golfer. I now call Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort home. Hopefully, someday you will be able to call our area home too. Give me a call!

"Living in South Dakota it is always nice to escape the winter weather. The Golf Channel featured Sandestin, Florida on one of the Trip Advisor shows in the fall of 2020. At the end of the show Gary Bowman (The Mayor) played a few holes with Matt Ginella the host of the show.  After watching the show I started to look into rental properties in the Sandestin area and booked my trip for the last week of February. While sitting at the Beach House restaurant watching the sunset we ran into The Mayor who ended up playing some golf with us on Thursday. I can’t wait to return to Sandestin to enjoy another week or two of golf, walks on the beach, great sunsets and some of the best seafood. " - Bill Schaefer 

Gary was introduced to us years ago by a friend. We believe Gary to be honest, thrust worthy and thorough. We have confidence that Gary will always have our best interest. Gary had a very good idea of what we were looking for. He helped us find the property that met our wants and needs. The transaction went very smoothly, thanks to Gary. Lindsey was fabulous. She is very professional and was vital in making this a smooth transaction - Ron and Patti Reich
