Meet the Real Estate Team

Navarre Real Estate Source owner/broker, Shannon A. Mills, was born in New York and moved to the Gulf Coast when she was assigned to Hurlburt Field in 1994. As a young Avionics Airman working on the mighty AC-130 Gunships, she quickly fell in love with the area and decided to call the emerald waters and sugar-white sand of Navarre home. After honorably serving 10 years in the United States Air Force, Shannon began her career in Real Estate in 2004.

She immediately found success due to her strong ethics, personality, and passion for helping others. She values the connection made with all of her clients, who have quickly become life-long friends. Shannon graduated from University of West Florida with a Bachelor's degree in College of Business with a minor in Marketing. She employs her extensive experience and education to developing superior home selling strategies for her clients. Shannon helps her clients achieve their real estate goals while identifying and advising around the many possible pitfalls within the home buying or home selling process.

Kelly Gatto A seasoned real estate professional with over 25 years of experience, I began my career in 1999 with Crye-Leike Realtors in Tennessee. During those years, I had the privilege of working alongside two special friends who were custom home builders and also gained expertise managing foreclosures for investors. In 2011, I made the move to Florida while maintaining my licenses in both states and have been focused full-time on Florida's dynamic real estate market since 2015.

My deep ties to Tennessee’s realtor community have helped me build a robust referral network, enabling me to connect clients seamlessly across state lines. Additionally, I hold a community association manager license, which—while I choose not to practice as a CAM—gives me valuable insights into HOA-related properties.
Having worked for various companies in the short-term rental industry, I took a leap of faith and founded my own company in November 2024, blending my passion for real estate with entrepreneurial spirit. Real estate isn't just a career for me; it's about building connections and creating lasting friendships that often extend beyond the closing table.

My motto is, "Real estate changes every day—always stay a step ahead through continuous learning and networking." I strive to provide exceptional service to my clients, staying committed to their needs in this ever-evolving market.
