Kendall Hood

An Alabama native, who grew up vacationing along the Emerald Coast as a young girl, fell in love with the beaches and the small town feel of the 30a communities. Little did she know those summer vacations were leaving lasting impressions on her heart that would eventually draw her back.

Kendall ventured off to college in Baton Rouge, LA as an LSU Tiger, to study Marketing. Her degree and time at LSU would open doors for her and lead her to the beginning of her career in the Big Apple. Kendall spent several years heading up the marketing efforts for the Waldorf Astoria hotel in NYC, but the big city lights and hustle and bustle could not compare to her love for the beach.

In 2006, Kendall found herself drawn back to coastal living, moved to Destin, FL and jumped feet first into the world of Real Estate. Kendall exclusively sold with the Emerald Grande for six years before obtaining her Broker’s License and building Key Realty of the Emerald Coast. With 18 years of Real Estate experience, Kendall has decided to join the #1 Brokerage in the country, Compass, and launch her new team “The Kendall Hood Collection” a brand reputation that has given her the opportunity to sell all along the Emerald Coast, from the beautiful beaches of Navarre, FL to exclusive Gulf Front homes of the 30a community in South Walton.

Kendall has a true passion for Real Estate and serving her clients, she is happiest handing over the key to a new home, a beach retreat, or the perfect investment property. Her goal is to take care of her clients and to help them make the best Real Estate decisions of their lives.

In her free time, Kendall enjoys time with her family; husband Jim, and her two children, Trace and Annabelle. As a family, they love the outdoors, taking family trips, weekends at the beach, and time spent with friends.
