The Ketchersid Group is a team of agents that specifically work full time - we are dedicated to you. Whether you are buying or selling, we know this is a big decision and we are here to guide you, answer questions honestly. Our decades of experience - in every type of market, have served us well.
The Ketchersid Team is located in Destin FL servicing the Emerald Coast since 2006. Our longevity in part stems from our dedication to education and confidence in this beautiful gulf coast community. A great number of buyers and sellers, and their recommendations to others have resulted in repeat and referral business that keeps us productive and successful. We work with buyers and sellers including primary residences as well as secondary or investment properties. Let us show you the Emerald Coast!
Residential Single Family – Our residential single family services connect buyers with sellers every day, and we do it with professionalism and a total dedication to our clients.
Condominiums – While condominiums are residential, they’re a different market focus, and we have experts in evaluating condos and helping buyers and sellers to cope with the special financing and homeowner concerns for these properties as each condominium complex can have its own set of circumstances.
Multi–family – Investors are great clients for The Ketchersid Team. Multi–family properties are a very unique market. The detailed return on investment and valuation calculations investors need to evaluate properties for rental are second nature to us. Designated Resort Second Home Specialist - we love what we do, we want you to love being here as well.

Amanda Rockwell is a military transplant from Tucson, Arizona, currently living in Destin, Florida. From her first steps onto the beaches of the area in 2010, she knew she was finally home! Her loving husband went back and forth between Eglin and Hurlburt AFB up until the day he hit 20 years and retired. All just so she could stay in the place she fell in love with! She knows the ins and outs of military life, including the complexity of relocation, and will negotiate fiercely on your behalf for the best price, terms and timing.
She brings to the table 17 years of experience in Art and Graphic Design; showcasing her vast knowledge of marketing, human resources, customer service and management. She found it rewarding to be the owner of a digital store for a few years and created lasting connections through her time teaching at conventions, in videos and online subscriptions. Ultimately the most enjoyable part was the people she was meeting and she knew there was a deeper commitment waiting for her. This longing to disconnect from the digital world and be the people-person she truly is, prompted her shift into full-time real estate. Amanda specializes in the Destin area for 1st and 2nd homes, plus investment properties there and beyond. Trust Amanda to work tirelessly for you in all things real estate and enjoy her quick wit while she attacks the market from a place of genuine care of your assets and future.
