Originally from South Dakota, I’ve proudly called the Destin area home since 1982. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from Florida State University and an MBA from Kennedy Western University. My connection to the Emerald Coast runs deep. Outside of Real Estate, I’m an active member of Destiny Worship Center and enjoy spending time with family and friends, golfing, snow skiing, hiking, boating, listening to live music, and taking peaceful walks along our stunning white-sand beaches. The Manthey family is deeply rooted in the region and is widely recognized for its long-standing presence and unwavering commitment to the Emerald Coast community.
My passion for Real Estate began with a vision to help others recognize and capitalize on the incredible growth and investment opportunities along the Emerald Coast and the Scenic Highway 30A Corridor. I began my Career as a Residential Mortgage Broker and eventually became a Partner in the Brokerage. In 2009, I transitioned into Real Estate Sales, and in 2016, I joined Premier Property Group as a Luxury Real Estate Advisor, where I now specialize in Residential, Commercial, and Development transactions.
Today, I serve as Principal of three Real Estate Companies: Manthey Group at Premier Property Group, Manthey Capital Group, LLC, and GMP Development & Investment, LLC. At Manthey Group, we set ourselves apart through our expertise in identifying Off-Market properties, creating exclusive value-driven opportunities for our Clients through local knowledge, strategic relationships, and creative, forward-thinking solutions.
Throughout my Career, I’ve built strong relationships with Residential and Commercial Investors, Ownership Groups, and Developers across the country, leading to the successful execution of numerous high-profile Real Estate transactions in multiple States. In 2020, my Partner and I launched GMP Development & Investment, LLC, which focuses on the Acquisition, Development, and Sale of luxury Residential and Commercial properties along the Emerald Coast. One of our latest Projects is a 6,651-square-foot, 6-bedroom, 7-bathroom Coastal Modern Bayfront Estate located in the gated golf course community of Kelly Plantation. This stunning Estate property is currently available for purchase, and we have several exciting Projects in the pipeline.
As Principal and Managing Member of Manthey Capital Group, LLC since 2004, I’ve had the privilege of serving as a trusted Commercial Financial Consultant to high-profile Clients across a range of Market Sectors, including Senior Housing, Hospitality, Multifamily, Industrial, Warehouse, Retail, and Office.
A highlight of my Career came in 2022 when I facilitated a record-breaking $25 Million Residential and Development transaction in Miramar Beach. This landmark Sale was, at the time, the highest recorded Residential sale in the Florida Panhandle, and I was honored to represent both the Buyer and Seller.
At Manthey Group, we are dedicated to delivering an exceptional Client experience through integrity, personalized service, and results-focused strategies. Whether you are buying or selling Luxury Properties, pursuing Rental Investments, or exploring Development Opportunities, our Team is here to provide expert guidance every step of the way.
With over $275M in Closed Transactions, our Team has earned a reputation as one of the most trusted and respected Real Estate Advisory Groups in the Industry.

Commitment. Integrity. Excellence.
That’s the Manthey Group promise.
After moving to the area in 1982, I graduated from FSU with an Electrical Engineering Degree and a MBA at Kennedy Western University. Married with four Children and five Grandchildren, I am actively involved in the local community, a member of Destiny Worship Center, and enjoy golfing, music, the beach, and boating. As the oldest boy of four and one sister, along with my parents, the Manthey Family is well established in the area.
With my love of this area and seeing first hand the incredible potential for Real Estate Growth and Investment Opportunities on the Emerald Coast, I decided to pursue my long time passion for Real Estate and Development full time. Initially, I started out as a Residential Mortgage Broker later becoming a Partner in the Brokerage. In 2005, I decided to move full time into Real Estate Sales with a Regional Real Estate Brokerage. Since becoming more involved with Residential Development and Commercial transactions, in 2010, I moved over to Premier Property Group to best serve my Client’s needs.
Currently, I have two Real Estate Companies, Manthey Capital Group, LLC and GMP Development & Investment, LLC and an active Real Estate Advisor with Manthey Group at Premier Property Group.
Manthey Group provides decades of expertise, local area and investment knowledge, innovative marketing, and a fresh perspective on the ever-changing Real Estate Market. We also specialize in “Off Market” opportunities and bring many exclusive opportunities to our Clients.
In an Off Market transaction on a Luxury Gulf of Mexico Beachfront Estate/Development property, I represented both Buyer and Seller in a deal that broke the Florida Panhandle Real Estate Residential Sales Record, closing at $25million in 2022.
I pride myself in offering exceptional service, personal attention, and complete discretion to each of my Clients. Whether you are seeking to buy or sell a luxury real estate, looking for the best investment opportunities, or planning a development project, I am committed to providing unparalleled guidance and support every step of the way.
Always thinking creatively and solutions-oriented, I have an extensive network of the best area providers for any of my Clients' needs. My network of industry contacts and market insights allow me to offer unique opportunities and tailored solutions to meet my Clients' needs. I am dedicated to delivering outstanding results and ensuring a smooth and seamless process from start to finish. I value the opportunity to work with you and can help you achieve all your real estate investment goals.
