Penny Jackson’s journey into luxury real estate began long before she earned her license. After building several upscale homes along Florida’s renowned 30A corridor with her husband in the early 2000s, Penny quickly developed a deep appreciation for the Emerald Coast lifestyle and the extraordinary communities that define it. Watching families fall in love with the area—and ultimately find their own piece of the beach—sparked what would become a thriving career in luxury real estate along the Emerald Coast.
A graduate of Auburn University, where she earned a degree in Hospitality and Restaurant Management, Penny began in group sales at Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort. Having lived within the resort for more than two decades, she has developed an unparalleled understanding of Sandestin’s 72 distinct neighborhoods, resort amenities, homeowners associations, and luxury lifestyle offerings. Many of the same families she first welcomed to the resort years ago have since returned to Penny to help them secure vacation homes, investment properties, golf course residences, and legacy beachfront estates.
In 2017, Penny joined Scenic Sotheby’s International Realty, one of the leading luxury brokerages along Florida’s Gulf Coast. Today she is recognized as a trusted advisor for buyers and sellers seeking luxury homes in Sandestin, Miramar Beach, Destin, and the prestigious communities of 30A. Known for her strategic insight, market knowledge, and concierge-level service, Penny specializes in high-end waterfront properties, resort residences, golf course estates, and second homes.
Penny’s reputation for professionalism and results has earned her more than 30 five-star reviews on Zillow.com, reflecting her commitment to exceptional client service. Much of her business is built on repeat clients and referrals—relationships developed through years of trust, market expertise, and personalized attention. Rather than taking a broad, transactional approach, Penny believes in a highly tailored, one-on-one strategy designed to help each client find a property that perfectly fits their lifestyle and investment goals.
Beyond her professional work, Penny has been deeply involved in the community. She served as President of the Children’s Volunteer Health Network and spent several years on the board of Food for Thought Outreach, Inc., organizations dedicated to improving the lives of children and families in Northwest Florida. She also served on the Board of Directors for the Elation Condominium Association, gaining valuable experience in condominium governance, HOA structures, and reserve planning—knowledge that benefits her clients navigating resort and condominium ownership.
When she’s not assisting clients, Penny enjoys staying active through Orangetheory Fitness and hot yoga, as well as cooking and exploring the world with her husband. A passionate traveler, she has set a personal goal to visit every continent in the coming decade.
With deep roots in the community, decades of local expertise, and a genuine passion for helping others discover the Emerald Coast lifestyle, Penny Jackson is a trusted name in luxury real estate along Florida’s Emerald Coast.
