Professional Biography:
Whether you are purchasing your dream coastal home, expanding an investment portfolio, or navigating a commercial transaction, Scott Childs offers a level of financial acumen and strategic insight rarely found in residential (and commercial) real estate.
Prior to joining Beachy Beach Real Estate, Scott spent over 30 years in corporate and investment banking, leading real estate financing and asset evaluation for major financial institutions across the country. Today, he combines that deep financial background with extensive personal property investment and management experience to deliver unmatched guidance to buyers and sellers along the Emerald Coast.
Scott’s analytical, data-driven approach removes the guesswork from real estate. Clients rely on his expertise to accurately analyze market trends, evaluate property values, and structure seamless transactions—whether securing a primary residence, a vacation condo, a lucrative rental property, or commercial acreage.
"Real estate is often one of the largest financial decisions a family or investor will ever make. My mission is to provide the clarity, strategy, and personal commitment necessary to make every transaction successful and stress-free."
Local Knowledge & Lifestyle
Originally from Cleveland, Ohio, Scott’s corporate career brought him to dynamic markets across the United States—including Denver, Colorado, and Maui, Hawaii. However, the unmatched beauty, vibrant community, and lifestyle of Northwest Florida repeatedly called his family back. Settled in Panama City Beach since 2018, Scott possesses deep local market knowledge and a passion for the Emerald Coast lifestyle.
When he isn't helping clients achieve their real estate goals, Scott enjoys boating, fishing, scuba diving, and spending time with his wife, children, and their family pets.

Let's TalkSee What My Clients Say
Scott is extremely professional and knowledgeable in his line of work. He went above and beyond to always have the information and resources available and ready for any and all questions and concerns. Scott is also very patient and understanding of curveballs thrown our way during the selling process. I could not recommend him enough to work with. He made me feel extremely valued and taken care of and there aren’t enough words to express my gratitude in having him and his real estate company guide me through selling my house. I would choose Scott time and time again.
Scott did a fantastic job for our family. Professional, prompt, and effective. We couldn't be happier with the work he did on our behalf. Thank you!
Scott was A next level professional from start to finish He was able to sell our condo during a time when EVERY agent said the condo market was dead. Scott has the skill and background to use creative marketing and selling techniques to get the job done Best agent in PCB without a doubt
Our listing agent was fantastic to work with. He kept in constant communication with us regarding the sale and took a tremendous amount of stress off our backs. The closing was seemless and we couldn't have asked for a better service. Highly recommend to anyone!
I first connected with Scott through Realtor.com in January 2026 while looking for a home in Panama City Beach. Admittedly, I was skeptical at first; based on past experiences in Georgia, I expected an automated, impersonal process. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Scott provided an incredible level of personalized attention that made all the difference. Since I was buying from out of state, having Scott act as my 'eyes and ears' on the ground was a massive relief. He was physically present for every step of the way, which gave me total peace of mind. As someone with a very busy schedule, I also truly appreciated how he stayed on top of every deadline and educated me on the nuances of the local market. If you want an agent who is proactive, professional, and personally invested in your success, I highly recommend Scott and the team at Beachy Beach Real Estate!”
Scott is one of the best agents I've had the pleasure of working with. I've bought and sold many properties in the panhandle and Scott was the most efficient and best communicator I've ever worked with. Highly recommended!
