Dana Ford
Exclusive Preferred Realtor for Scenic Highway 30A
As part of this exclusive partnership, Ford has been one of the top producers in the panhandle for the last 20 years and is an expert in navigating the complex Florida real estate market, with a specific focus on the Gulf Coast. She is a recognized expert in the highly sought-after communities along Scenic Highway 30A, including Inlet Beach, Rosemary Beach, Seacrest, and Alys Beach.
Livability.com attracts millions of visitors who explore cities, neighborhoods and local quality of life – often before they begin a formal home search. Through the new Livability Listings initiative, the platform connects these high-intent movers with select real estate professionals whose expertise aligns with lifestyle-driven decision-making.
“We want the journey of discovering a new city and finding the perfect place to live to be as seamless as possible. This partnership with Dana Ford brings local, trusted real estate expertise directly to our audience the moment they start visualizing their future in 30A,” says Morgan Jones from Livability Listings.
Dana also brings extensive experience in negotiating short sales and foreclosures, having successfully closed numerous transactions during the downturn. She is an active member of the National Association of Realtors, the Emerald Coast Association of Realtors, and the Bay County Association of Realtors, and she remains well-informed on evolving real estate laws and trends in the mortgage, rental, and construction industries.
In addition, Dana owned and operated a property management company for 8 years, providing her with valuable insight into better serving her clients. As a co-owner of Ledman Construction, she works alongside her husband to assist buyers seeking the perfect lot, building their custom home or investing in an investment property. Since 2023, Dana has also served on the Board of Directors for the Gulf Coast State College Foundation, where she helps raise funds and secure donor support for scholarships.
“I truly love what I do and take pride in helping people through one of life’s biggest decisions. I believe real estate should be exciting, not a stressful experience. That’s why I focus on honest guidance, clear communication, attention to detail, and putting my clients’ best interests first,” explains Dana Ford. Over the years, I’ve been blessed to see many client relationships grow into lifelong friendships, and I’d welcome the opportunity to earn your trust and help make your next move a success.”
While Livability.com does not represent buyers or sellers directly, the Livability Listings program aims to bridge the gap between community research and the local real estate market. This partnership ensures that people moving to the 30A Emerald Coast have a trusted local expert who prioritizes community and quality of life.
