Meet Max

Chief Feline Officer  ·  CFO

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.

"I inspected each property at considerable personal inconvenience. They passed. You're welcome."
— Max, CFO

Qualifications of a professional

🏖️

Destin Native

Born and raised on the Gulf Coast. Has more local knowledge than any real estate agent you've ever met, and is significantly better looking.

🔍

Property Inspector

Has personally reviewed all three BeachMax properties. His criteria are his own business. They passed.

🐦

Wildlife Liaison

Maintains a comprehensive awareness of all bird activity in the greater Destin area. This is a full-time commitment and he takes it seriously.

😎

Brand Ambassador

The face, the vibe, and the unspoken standard of BeachMax Properties. He never asked for this role. He never needed to.

Straight from the CFO

BeachMax Approved.
Max's words, not ours.

Three Gulf Coast properties. One very particular cat. His seal of approval is the only one that matters around here.
