A native of southeast Alabama, Alison Sanders has always been deeply connected to the Emerald Coast. From her earliest memories, she has spent countless cherished moments with family and friends along the very beaches and bay waters she now calls home. In 2003, Alison co-founded Sanders Beach Rentals with her father-in-law, Steve, gaining firsthand experience during the rapid growth of WaterColor and the surrounding 30A communities. In 2009, she stepped away from her professional career to focus on her most meaningful role—raising her four children. In early 2018, Alison returned to the business, co-founding Sanders Beach Realty with her husband, Stephen, and focusing on real estate sales. Since that time, she has successfully worked with buyers and sellers across 30A, Destin, and the greater Emerald Coast, bringing both market expertise and a relational approach to every transaction. Known for her strong work ethic, attention to detail, and genuine love for people, Alison is passionate about guiding her clients through one of life’s most important investments. What often begins as a business relationship naturally evolves into lasting friendships that extend well beyond closing day. Alison holds degrees from the University of Alabama and Samford University. She lives in Destin with her husband, Stephen, and their four children-—one in college and three in high school. Outside of real estate, her greatest joy is simply being with her family and enjoying the coastal lifestyle she loves.

Testimonials

Working with Alison was an exceptional experience from start to finish. She is knowledgeable, sharp, and incredibly hardworking. She's always one step ahead and advocating for our best interests.

Alison Sanders was wonderful to work with. She is bright, intelligent honest kind, and made the transaction seamless from the purchaser point of view. I would say that she's the best realtor I've ever worked with in either buying or selling property. I would definitely use her again as the only realtor for me in the Florida panhandle area. —Mike G.

Alison Sanders has now helped us twice, and both experiences were exceptional. She originally helped us purchase our beach condo four years ago, and the process was seamless from start to finish. When it came time for us to sell—so we could move forward with buying a small farm and building our forever home—there was no question who we would call first.

Alison immediately went to work and made the entire process feel simple and well-managed. Her expertise in the beach market is clear, but what truly sets her apart is her attention to detail and her ability to position a property to attract serious buyers. She gave us practical, strategic advice on how to present the condo, and we trusted her guidance completely.

Because of her preparation and market knowledge, our condo was listed on the MLS and under contract within a week. The communication throughout the process was consistent, clear, and professional, which gave us total confidence every step of the way.

If you are looking for someone who understands the market, advocates for your best interests, and delivers results, Alison is the one to call. We are incredibly grateful—she didn’t just help us buy and sell property, she played a key role in helping us move forward into the next chapter of our lives. —Les H.
