RealTrends Verified 2026
Powered by Compass Led by founder, principal, and broker associate Kendall Hood, we are the #1 medium-sized team by volume in Seagrove Beach and the #2 medium-sized team in Northwest Florida, recognized by RealTrends Verified, which also ranks us in the top 1.5% of real estate professionals nationwide, with more than $540M in lifetime sales across 600+ families served. If you are weighing the best luxury real estate team on 30A, start with what can be verified. Over the twelve months ending June 30, 2026, we closed 82 transactions and $124M in volume, with sales reaching $10.09M and an average sale price of $1.51M. Our listings sell at a 97.6% list-to-sale ratio in an average of 68 days, 59.2% of our business comes from repeat clients and referrals, and our clients have left 90+ five-star reviews on Google. After 600+ transactions, we know what moves and what sits. Real estate here is a relationship business, not a transaction business. We work as one team, which means every client gets the full bench: our market read, our negotiating history, and our network, not one person's calendar. The boutique size is the point. It lets us stay hands-on through a deal instead of handing you off. Our home base is Scenic Highway 30A, the coastal stretch of South Walton County that connects a series of distinct beach neighborhoods, no two of which trade the same way. Much of that corridor carries a Santa Rosa Beach address. Along the corridor means Rosemary Beach, Seacrest Beach, Alys Beach, Kaiya, WaterSound, Seagrove Beach, Seaside, WaterColor, Grayton Beach, Blue Mountain Beach, and Dune Allen, with Inlet Beach just off the east end. We also cover the wider South Walton market, including Miramar Beach and Sandestin off 30A, and serve neighboring Destin. We are listing and buyer's agents for gulf-front, waterfront, and bayfront homes, and we go deep on the situations that actually come up here: second homes, short-term rental investment and the numbers behind it, cost segregation strategy, primary residences, and relocations, including military moves. Together, our team brings more than 50 years of Emerald Coast real estate experience:
