Congratulations to RE/MAX Coastal Properties on last week's ribbon cutting celebrating 50 years! According to the RE/MAX Coastal - Destin Florida Facebook page, "This the oldest real estate building in Destin, which was constructed by local real estate pioneer John Cox. The building served as the John Cox Agency for many years and later as Cox and Young. In 1973, you could have purchased a home in Destin for less than $10,000."
