How Brian came to 30A
Brian began his real estate career in 2003 and worked the Asheville, North Carolina, market. His North Carolina real estate license was first issued on August 8, 2005. RISMedia reported in 2017 that he had previously been with John Carroll Luxury Properties, Century 21 Real Estate and Coldwell Banker Real Estate. His Compass profile lists Auburn University under education.
His first Florida license, a broker license, was issued on September 25, 2015. In November 2017, when Engel & Völkers opened its Destin shop, The Real Deal and RISMedia reported Brian as its managing broker. His current Florida license, BK3403827, a broker associate license, dates from January 9, 2018. He later worked with Davis Properties of Northwest Florida in Santa Rosa Beach. On April 22, 2022, he joined Compass Florida LLC, where he leads The Beasley Group.

What Brian and the team focus on
Waterfront property is our main focus. That covers Gulf-front and Gulf-view homes, coastal dune lake frontage, harbor and bay property, and homes with boat slips. Land, development and new construction come next, followed by second homes, primary residences, condos and homes that operate as short-term rentals.
The water is personal for Brian. "Waterfront homes are definitely our specialty," he told VIE Magazine in 2023. "I spend much of my time on the water, especially the bay, fishing and boating." It shows in how the team reads boating property: we do not evaluate the dock without evaluating the water. Slip size, water depth, vessel draft, navigational access, dock permits and the route to open water can matter as much as the house itself.
Our guide to waterfront property on 30A and in Destin sets out how we evaluate each type of water.

Luxury without the Ego
"Luxury without the Ego" is how The Beasley Group describes its approach. For us, luxury describes the level of property, service and expertise, not a requirement that every client be buying an eight-figure home. We regularly work in a market where seven- and eight-figure transactions occur, and we apply the same strategy, property knowledge, marketing and personal service across our client base. The aim is sophisticated representation that never feels exclusive, intimidating or transactional. Our guide to what makes a 30A home a luxury home explains the factors behind the price.
Independent of rental management companies
On rental management, we stay independent. We have good relationships with several rental management companies, but we are not directly linked to any of them, and we prefer to keep it that way. When a client needs a rental projection, we request it from management companies directly, and we work hand in hand with several companies when we list homes that operate as short-term rentals.
