When it comes to buying or selling real estate along the Emerald Coast, who you work with matters. In today’s fast-moving market, online listings and national apps can only take you so far. What you need is a local expert, someone who not only knows the neighborhoods but understands the people, the process, and the pressure points. That’s where I come in.

I’m Caron Kiefer, and I’ve built my real estate career around serving families, military members, and investors just like you, because I’ve walked in your shoes. I know what it’s like to move often, juggle timelines, and want the best return on your home. I bring both professional knowledge and personal understanding to every transaction.

Knowledge You Can Count On With a Local Realtor

From Fort Walton Beach and Destin to Niceville and Navarre, each area on the Emerald Coast has its own personality and its challenges. Whether you’re buying a forever home, a short-term rental, or listing a property to sell, I provide insights you won’t find on Zillow. Want to know which neighborhoods are best for families, which school zones are most sought-after, or what a property rents for seasonally? I’ve got you covered.

Support for Military Families

As a prior military spouse, I understand the unique stresses that come with PCS orders, deployment schedules, and VA loans. I specialize in helping military families buy with confidence and sell with ease. Whether you’re on a tight timeline or searching from across the country, I’ll guide you through the process like a trusted teammate.

Investor-Friendly with Real Results

Looking to expand your real estate portfolio? I also work with investors who are buying short-term rentals, long-term properties, and multi-family homes. My in-depth knowledge of the local rental markets, zoning laws, and resale potential means I’m more than a Realtor—I’m a resource. I also partner with trusted lenders, contractors, and property managers to give you a well-rounded investment strategy.

A Realtor Who’s Real

Buying or selling a home is more than a transaction—it’s a life change. I treat every client with the honesty, transparency, and respect they deserve. I believe in educating my clients, answering questions thoroughly, and making sure you feel confident at every step.

Let’s Work Together

Whether you're buying, selling, or simply exploring your options, I’d love to help. Let’s talk about your goals and create a plan that works for your timeline, your budget, and your future.
