L

ee Glaser fi rst visited 

the Emerald Coast 

as a tourist in 1992.  

After returning home to 

Atlanta, she packed her bags 

and moved a week later.  

Like so many, she fell in love 

with the beaches, laid-back 

atmosphere and unique 

experiences Northwest 

Florida has to offer.  

She opened Northwest 

Florida Real Estate in 2013 

and credits the success of 

her business to referrals.  

As the result of working 

with military families and 

clients with real estate 

interests around the country, 

Northwest Florida Real 

Estate offers a strong referral 

network to assist buyers 

and sellers in areas such as 

Tampa/St. Pete, Orlando, 

Chicago, Houston, 

Denver/Colorado Springs, 

and of course, Atlanta.  

Lee and her husband, Kenny, live in Shalimar with their three dogs 

– Creek, Alyssa, and Rumble. With encouragement from grandson 

Colton, they recently welcomed Sonya to the family, a 12-year old 

quarter horse with her own little red barn at Eglin’s Sand & Spur 

Riding Club.  

Lee Glaser is President of the Board of Directors for Healing Hoof 

Steps, an equine-assisted therapy and learning center.  With every 

transaction closed by Northwest Florida Real Estate, a donation is 

made to provide therapy services to local veterans, fi rst responders, 

and at risk youth.
