Kay Eubanks

President

Kay Eubanks' distinguished career in real estate and development began in Tallahassee, where she founded and managed Eubanks Realty, Inc. and Eubanks Development Company, Inc. She also co-founded Community Realty Group with Millard Noblin, a collective of seven real estate companies under unified ownership. Subsequently, Kay partnered with Chip Hartung to establish Coldwell Banker Hartung-Eubanks, Inc. These ventures quickly attained market dominance, maintaining a leadership position in the industry for years. In addition to her business endeavors, she was also elected Top Producer by the Tallahassee Board of Realtors several times throughout her career. Kay served as a member of a bank advisory board and was appointed by the Governor to the Florida Bar Association’s State Grievance Committee. While simultaneously developing Forgotten Coast Development Company, Kay launched Coldwell Banker Forgotten Coast Realty (CBFRC). She established the company’s main office in Mexico Beach, Florida, with additional offices in Cape San Blas, Apalachicola, and Carrabelle. Under her leadership, CBFRC quickly rose to the top, achieving the number one ranking among offices of its size in the State of Florida. The following year, it became the number one office in the Southeast Region, encompassing 13 states, and later achieved the distinction of being the top office internationally within its size category. Kay herself was recognized as the top individual producer for Coldwell Banker in Florida, as well as in the Southeast Region in subsequent years. Over the course of her career, Kay has generated over $3 billion in total sales. Kay holds a BS degree from Samford University and has completed postgraduate studies at the University of Alabama, Florida State University, and Harvard University. Her 50-year career has earned her numerous professional designations, cementing her reputation as a respected industry leader. In addition to her professional achievements, Kay has made significant philanthropic contributions to the communities she serves. She was a founding member and past board member of the Ronald McDonald House in Tallahassee, as well as a board member for both the Denver Ronald McDonald House and the Denver chapter of the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Kay also served on the Board of Directors for the YMCA and played a pivotal role in the establishment of the Someplace Else House, a facility for homeless children. She was a co-founder of Helping Hands, a successful senior citizen program in Gulf County, and was instrumental in the formation of a nonprofit organization that provided assistance to hundreds of individuals displaced by Hurricane Katrina. In the wake of Hurricane Michael, Kay spearheaded the creation of four distribution points for relief efforts, providing vital assistance to thousands of victims across Gulf and Bay counties. Her ongoing dedication to supporting the underprivileged, elderly, and children has earned her recognition as one of the region’s leading philanthropists. Her tireless volunteer work and community service also led to her being named a finalist for the Jefferson Award, a prestigious national honor presented by the American Institute for Public Service, often referred to as "the Nobel Prize for public service." Kay’s unparalleled success is attributed to her extensive industry experience, visionary leadership, and relentless determination. She possesses a remarkable ability to transform undeveloped land into thriving real estate projects, working closely with a dedicated team of architects, planners, engineers, contractors, marketers, and support staff to bring her ambitious visions to life. In addition to her real estate ventures, Kay founded KWE Consulting, LLC, focusing on real estate development consulting. The company provides expert advice and management services in areas including site selection, property acquisition, funding sources, planning, cost estimating, marketing, sales, construction, economic feasibility, and design services (architectural and engineering).
