Coldwell Banker Realty ยท Emerald Coast, Florida
Let's find yours.
Whether you are buying, selling, PCSing, or simply dreaming of coastal life, Michaela helps families find their place on the Emerald Coast. Real estate built on relationships, not transactions.
I moved to the Emerald Coast at 16 when my family relocated to Eglin AFB, and I have always come back. Twenty six years later I know the commute times, the school zones, the lifestyle each neighborhood delivers, and the hidden spots that only come with time.
I specialize in military relocation because I know personally what it means to land somewhere new and need someone steady in your corner. But whether you are PCSing, relocating for work, buying your first home, or finally making that coastal move you have been dreaming about, I am here for all of it.
I have a Bachelor's Degree in Public Relations and Marketing. I am a mom, a former elementary school teacher, and someone who still remembers exactly what it felt like to be the new family in town.
With a background in care, organization, and detail, I am a Transaction Coordinator with 4 plus years of experience across Florida and Alabama. Working behind the scenes, I provide support for Michaela and her clients.
I am a proud military spouse, mother of four, and Emerald Coast local who values connection, clarity, and helping navigate a smooth path to closing.

A group of people who come together around a shared purpose, bringing different strengths to a common goal and showing up for one another to get it done.
Finding the right home on the Emerald Coast takes a team, and this is ours.
Buying on the Emerald Coast is not like buying anywhere else. The zoning is unique, the water shapes everything, your commute, your lifestyle, your daily rhythm. The right neighborhood for your life is not always the one that photographs best on Zillow. Whether you are a first time buyer figuring out the process or a family relocating from across the country, I will make sure you understand what you are choosing before you choose it. That is the job.
Selling your home on the Emerald Coast takes more than putting it on the MLS and waiting. It takes accurate pricing, a presentation that makes buyers feel something before they ever schedule a showing, and a marketing reach that finds the buyers who are not local yet. I handle every detail from the walkthrough to the closing table, and I communicate through every step. You will never wonder what is happening.

Book a ConsultationI understand what it means to arrive somewhere new with orders in hand and a family to settle on a timeline that will not wait. My father finished his final assignment at Eglin, and that move shaped everything I do for military families today.
I know BAH realities, commute times from every corner of NW Florida to the gate, and which neighborhoods genuinely serve a military family's daily life. I will help you get your family settled before your report date and answer the questions you did not know to ask.
I know more than just the beach. I know where the coffee is worth the drive, the dinner spots that locals actually go to, the stretches of water that feel nothing like the tourist version, and the hidden corners that make an ordinary Tuesday feel like a privilege. This guide is everything I would tell a friend who just moved here and wanted to skip the learning curve and get straight to the good part.
