For nearly two decades, Newcastle Real Estate has been known as a trusted name in Florida’s Gulf Coast communities, built on the simple belief that real estate is personal. What began as a company with strong roots in property management has now evolved into a full-service brokerage — a natural extension of their philosophy that connection, care, and expertise should guide every real estate journey. Today, Newcastle is not only managing properties with excellence but also helping buyers, sellers, and investors across Okaloosa, Walton, Bay, Santa Rosa, and Escambia Counties achieve their real estate goals.
A Legacy of Service and Connection
Unlike many brokerages that prioritize rapid growth, Newcastle’s story has always been centered on people first. Their foundation was built on matching clients with the right fit — whether that meant the perfect rental property, a trusted long-term management partner, or now, the dream of homeownership.
The brokerage’s motto could be summed up simply: “We don’t sell homes. We connect people with the right property.” This mindset is what sets Newcastle apart in an industry that can sometimes feel transactional. Their mission has never been about chasing volume — it’s been about providing the best service at the best rates without ever sacrificing quality.
Expanding into Real Estate Sales
As the Gulf Coast continues to grow, it became clear that Newcastle’s client-first approach was needed in the residential sales market just as much as in property management. Today, Newcastle Real Estate is proud to offer full real estate services for buyers, sellers, and investors — bringing the same trusted service and attention to detail that made their management company thrive.
For buyers, this means having a team that understands not only the housing market but also the lifestyle and character of each community — from the sugar-white sands of Destin and Miramar Beach in Walton County to the historic charm of Pensacola in Escambia County. For sellers, Newcastle brings sharp marketing strategies, extensive market knowledge, and expert negotiation skills to ensure homes get maximum visibility and value. And for investors, the brokerage offers a dual advantage: real estate expertise paired with decades of property management experience, creating a full-circle service few brokerages can match.
Meet the Broker and Agents
At the helm of Newcastle Real Estate, Michael Smith is a broker with a clear vision: to build a company where relationships matter more than transactions. Newcastle Real Estate’s success is a team of dedicated professionals who bring unique strengths, experience, and passion to every client they serve. More than just agents, they are trusted advisors who work together with one goal in mind: helping you achieve the best possible results.
Each agent brings unique strengths to the table, but what unites them is a commitment to communication, integrity, and client care. Agents like Lena Reeves, who not only specializes in traditional real estate but also works with investors, reflect Newcastle’s forward-thinking focus on serving a diverse range of clients. April Pierce, known for her client-first approach and unparalleled expertise to every transaction. Meanwhile, seasoned professionals like Deborah Tinnin, with decades of customer service and real estate experience, embody the brokerage’s dedication to trust and expertise. Todd Novak bringing dedication, integrity, and attention to detail that defined his military career into this Real Estate philosophy. Amanda Manning has a diverse background that spans vacation rentals, long-term leasing, and residential sales, providing her with a comprehensive understanding of the local market and a well-rounded approach to every transaction. Supporting the agents is Chasidy Bartlett, Newcastle’s Office Manager, who ensures every detail runs smoothly behind the scenes. Together, this team represents a balance of local knowledge, negotiation skill, and genuine care for the people they serve.
What Sets Newcastle Apart?
In a region filled with brokerages, Newcastle stands out by blending nearly two decades of property management expertise with a fresh approach to real estate sales. Here’s what makes them different:
Deep Local Knowledge – With service areas spanning five counties, Newcastle’s agents know the Gulf Coast market inside and out.
Connection Over Sales – Every client is treated like a relationship, not a number. Newcastle takes the time to listen, understand, and deliver.

Looking Ahead
As Newcastle Real Estate expands its presence across the Gulf Coast, its mission remains unchanged: to help people find more than just a house — to help them find home. By combining trusted property management services with a growing full-service brokerage, Newcastle is uniquely positioned to serve buyers, sellers, and investors at every stage of their real estate journey.
In an industry where so much feels rushed and impersonal, Newcastle stands out as a reminder that real estate is about more than contracts and closings — it’s about people, relationships, and creating lasting connections.
For those ready to buy, sell, or invest along the Emerald Coast, Newcastle Real Estate is more than a brokerage — it’s a partner you can trust.
