The Executive Profile
The cat behind the brand
Max is a Destin local, a career professional, and the inspiration behind BeachMax Properties. He has strong opinions about real estate, excellent taste, and a very particular way of doing things.
He is an avid birdwatcher, a connoisseur of warm spots, and the undisputed highest-ranking member of any room he enters.
Max does not live at any of the BeachMax properties. He maintains his own private residence in Destin, which he considers far superior to any beachfront listing, because it has him in it.
