On Tuesday, January 10th, the Emerald Coast Association of Realtors (ECAR) and the Walton County Chamber of Commerce held a ceremony to break ground on a new Santa Rosa Beach office for ECAR. The new office, which will be built by Huff Construction, is located on Hwy. 98 just west of the Church Street intersection, near the new Burger King.

ECAR is the largest trade association on the panhandle, with over 5,000 active members. The Association serves Okaloosa and Walton County, and currently has locations in Navarre, Fort Walton Beach, and Santa Rosa Beach.

The new 6,000 sq. ft. development will be ECAR’s hub for the over 1,500 members that call Walton County home. Last year, the Association represented a real estate sales volume of over $11 billion, with $6 billion of those sales in Walton County. ECAR says they are excited to be a part of the continued growth and the impact this industry has had over the past several years in Walton County.

“With an ECAR presence among so many of our valued real estate partners and sponsors here in Walton County, it solidifies the vision of ‘Better Together’ that I have for our Association and carries that same vision to the community,” explained 2023 ECAR President, Joe Capelotti. “Our doors are always open to help residents and REALTORS®, alike. Our goal is to educate and build connections so that we build a community that is ‘Better Together’.”

The new Santa Rosa Beach office is not only a sign of ECAR’s growth and commitment to the area, but also a testament to the thriving real estate market in Walton County.
