About Gulfside Real Estate
Founded in 2020, Gulfside Real Estate is a broker-owned and operated real estate company led by Shawn Dunn. The brokerage was built to provide hands-on, strategic representation without layers of agents, assistants, or handoffs. Buyers and sellers work directly with the broker from the first conversation through closing.
In addition to traditional buying and selling, Gulfside Real Estate specializes in redevelopment and ground-up elevated coastal and waterfront construction. This includes advising clients on build-back opportunities, elevated new construction, and properties affected by flood or storm events. The focus is on helping clients evaluate their options, understand zoning and building considerations, and position properties for long-term value in coastal and waterfront locations.
Rather than operating as a high-volume brokerage, Gulfside Real Estate prioritizes quality, accountability, and informed decision-making. Clients receive direct access to experience, local market insight, and construction-aware guidance — especially valuable in complex coastal and waterfront transactions.
