President
Kay’s career in real estate and development began in Tallahassee where she owned and operated Eubanks Realty, Inc., Eubanks Development Company, Inc., and was co-founder, along with Millard Noblin, of Community Realty Group, an accumulation of seven real estate companies under one ownership.
Kay later teamed with Chip Hartung to form Coldwell Banker Hartung- Eubanks, Inc. All of these ventures quickly achieved market dominance and maintained a leadership role for many years. She also served as a member of a bank advisory board and is a past governor appointee to the State of Florida Grievance Committee for the Florida Bar Association.
Concurrent with the formation of Forgotten Coast Development Company, Kay established Coldwell Banker Forgotten Coast Realty (CBFRC), and established its main office in Mexico Beach, Florida as well as offices in Cape San Blas, Apalachicola, and Carrabelle, Florida. With CBFCR, Kay took her office to number one, among offices of its size, in the State of Florida; and in the following year, the office was number one in the Southeast Region (a 13 statewide area designation). The year after that the office was number one in the United States and the number one Coldwell Banker internationally for offices of its size. She was also the top producer individually for Coldwell Banker for the State of Florida, and the top producer individually in the Southeast Region the following year.
Eubanks has produced over $2-billion dollars in total sales in her career. Her collegiate degree is from Samford University with post-graduate work at the University of Alabama, Florida State University, and Harvard University. A brilliant 40-year career has bestowed many professional designations on Kay.
Kay’s social contributions to the communities she calls home are as impressive as her professional accreditations. She was a founder and past member of the Board of Directors for the Ronald McDonald House in Tallahassee, as well as a member of the Board of Directors for the Denver Ronald McDonald House and Denver, Make a Wish Foundation. She served as a member of the Board of Directors for the YMCA and was instrumental in establishing the Someplace Else House for homeless children. She was a founding member of Helping Hands, a very successful senior citizen program in Gulf County. She was instrumental in establishing a non-profit organization that helped hundreds of people displaced by Hurricane Katrina.
More recently, she established 4 points of distributions for victims of Hurricane Michael that reached thousands of victims throughout the Gulf and Bay County. Her contributions to the poor, the elderly, the needy and especially to the children of the communities she serves are too numerous to detail, rather suffice it to be said that she is one of the area’s philanthropists that works with an open heart and arms to embrace those less fortunate than she and her family. Her continuous efforts to help those in need and endless volunteer work led her to become a finalist for the Jefferson Award, a prestigious award created by the American Institute for Public Service as “a Nobel Prize for community and public service” in the United States.
Kay’s success is largely due to her vast experience in the industry and her incredible talent of having the vision, creativity, and dogged tenacity to take a stark parcel of undeveloped land and mold it into a real estate development. Further, she has surrounded herself with architects, land planners, engineers, contractors, marketing, and general support personnel, to achieve her lofty goals and objectives.
