Century 21 Blue Marlin is pleased to announce that their award-winning team has grown by four agents.

 

Kimberly Belcher Alford joins the PURE Coastal Team, the commercial branch of Century 21 Blue Marlin. A graduate with a degree in marketing from Southeastern Louisiana University, Alford began her career as a realtor 13 years ago, and has since found a niche with families looking to relocate and buyers purchasing primary and secondary homes in Northwest Florida. Additionally, Alford’s resume has solidified her as a local trusted and knowledgeable real estate source for residences within Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort and various gated and condominium communities on the Emerald Coast.  Alford thrives on repeat business, a master of connecting with the needs of her clients, treats every home she buys and sells for her clients as if they were her very own.

 

Chris Bent is from Fort Branch, Indiana, but fell in love with the Emerald Coast while spending his spring breaks in Seaside. Not long after making the move to the area in 2008, Bent purchased his first home in Santa Rosa Beach, which sparked his love for real estate. After the birth of his son in 2016, Bent knew it was time to follow his dreams and embark on a new career path. As a member of the National Association of Realtors, Bent uses his knowledge and passion to help others find their dream home and own a piece of paradise.

 

“The team at Century 21 Blue Marlin has become a second family to me, making me feel at home since day one,” said Bent. “I’m looking forward to continue growing my real estate career and to see what the future holds.”

Darette Joy (DJ) Villareal-Sorensen was born in the Philippines and raised in St. Louis, Missouri, before making Destin home in 2012. Villareal-Sorensen’s 10 year’s in the customer service industry will go hand in hand with the satisfaction of her real estate clients. While real estate is a new venture for Villareal-Sorensen she’s approaching the career with the same drive and attention.

 

“I’ve always been interested in real estate, and after some changes in my personal life I felt it was time to make the leap,” said Villareal-Sorensen. “After meeting with Century 21 Blue Marlin brokers, Jerry Sullivan & Johnathan Hughes, their enthusiasm, along with the energy and vibe of the office, were the ultimate deciding factors for where I wanted to hang my license. I’m excited to have the opportunity to be a part of amplifying my client’s lifestyles by helping them find their piece of our beautiful emerald coast.”

 

Angie Wright has joined the team at Century 21 Blue Marlin, as a Broker Associate. A resident of the Emerald Coast since 1989, Angie earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science from the University of West Florida.

In her new role at Century 21 Blue Marlin, Wright will bring her knowledge of luxury and investment properties to work for her clients.
