Gary Bowman

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 has proudly served the 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 was 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:

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.

Testimonials

"We worked with Gary mostly over the Internet. He was very attentive to our desires, and when we changed our minds. We visited Sandestin after we had 8 properties to view. Gary's expertise in the area helped us a lot. We picked out two official and one unofficial. Gary's negotiating skills were superior. We ended up purchasing a new home. Gary led us through the entire process, from financing to closing, in PA. Gary is still helping us with furnishing and accepting deliveries. He is fantastic."

Buyer

"Gary is, without doubt, the best realtor I have had the pleasure to work with. He was very helpful as I was an out-of-town buyer and continued the high level of service after the sale. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a realtor in the Florida Gulf area."

Jane A.

"Gary Bowman is a great real estate professional. I recommend Gary and will use him again. He has listed multiple properties for my wife and me. His office is in the Grand Sandestin, Florida, which makes him very convenient to work with."

Scott F.

"Gary helped us with the purchase of our condo in Miramar Beach. He brings in-depth knowledge of real estate and of the local market and area. Gary is professional, honest, and most of all, willing to go the extra mile for his clients. I recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell in this beautiful area."

Deb C.

"Gary has a wealth of information on the Destin real estate market. He is trustworthy and honest. I cannot imagine having a better agent and representative for searching, buying, or selling. These characteristics keep me turning to Gary for the best and most reliable information."

Buyer

"Gary helped us buy our home in Sandestin in 2010. He showed us multiple properties within the different neighborhoods and was very knowledgeable concerning the pros and cons of each neighborhood and property. We have referred Gary to many of our friends who are looking at this area."

M. Roger

"We first met Gary four years ago. He showed us a number of properties that met our specific needs and price range, but we decided not to buy at the time. He stayed in touch with us over the next two years, and he found us the perfect home in Sandestin. We listed our Destin townhouse with him, which he sold in less than two weeks, and he helped with the closing of both properties. I recommend him without reservation."

Buyer

"We met Gary one and a half years before buying a property. Gary kept in touch, was very responsive to our questions, and patient throughout our long decision process. Once we were ready to purchase a property, he showed us multiple options and found the perfect place for us. Gary also helped with the lender and secured an excellent price for our property."

Craig C.

"Gary Bowman has been a great help to us in many ways. He took time to find out our likes and dislikes and developed a portfolio of properties for us to look over. He was always there when we needed info or to look at a particular property. When we relocated here to Sandestin, he was very helpful in getting us established in the community. After we selected our property, he continued to follow up on us and help with all negotiations and get us settled."

Buyer

"Gary was very conscientious in dealing with our wants and needs when it came to purchasing our home. He always goes the extra mile in helping me with "house" issues, even 4 years after the purchase. I would highly recommend him to anyone."

Cindra R.
