Real Estate has been a great tradition since Don Williams’ youth. Raised in Marietta, Georgia as the son of a home builder, Don began his passion with real estate at the age of 13 and went on to build a successful career in the home construction industry in the Atlanta area. He also spent several years in Home Depot management and served our country as a Loadmaster on the flight crew of a C-130 Aircraft in the Air National Guard, where he assisted in National Security. Don began his love for the Emerald Coast over 22 years ago when he met his wife, Debra, on the beach. Even though Don has flown around the world an equivalent of 4 times and stood in beautiful places, Destin has always had a special draw for him. Don often brought his family to play and enjoy the pure beauty of the gulf coast. It was a dream come true when the Williams’ moved to Destin in February 2001. Don has invested in properties in the area since that time and knows clients are looking for honesty, integrity and hard work. Don is a Licensed Florida Real Estate Broker and has had the opportunity of brokering three companies. With attention to details and a watchful eye, Don has closed over 120 million dollars in real estate transactions. |
