Meet the Team

  • Lori Roland

    Lori brings nearly a decade of real estate experience to every client relationship. 

    Originally from Georgia, Lori spent 30 years in Atlanta before making Florida’s coast her home. She became licensed in Florida and Georgia in the same year, building a career rooted in flexibility, market knowledge, and trusted relationships. There’s no limit to where this Real Estate journey might take her!

    In the business since 2017, Lori holds her broker’s license and has launched her own brokerage with Golden Coast Real Estate, a natural next step in a career defined by service and leadership. 

    Outside of real estate, Lori is known for her love of golden retrievers and community connection, even hosting a local puppy networking event attended by dozens of dogs and neighbors.  

  • Rachel Hibbard

    I’m a full-time real estate professional proudly serving the greater Northwest Florida Gulf Coast. To me, real estate isn’t a side hustle, it’s my full-time career and my top priority. I specialize in helping buyers and sellers navigate life’s biggest transitions with confidence, clarity, and genuine care. My approach is rooted in market expertise and a commitment to high industry standards. I’m an active member of the Central Panhandle Association of Realtors (CPAR), currently serving on the Grievance Committee. I am also honored to be a member of the 2026 Leadership Academy class, a role that keeps me at the forefront of local industry trends and advocacy. I’m a proud University of Georgia graduate, originally from a small Georgia town known for its military school (which I attended) and its once-infamous asylum (which I did not). Today, I fully embrace the Florida Panhandle lifestyle. When I’m not with clients, you can find me cruising the neighborhood in a golf cart with my dogs, attempting to keep my houseplants alive, or watching Atlanta Braves baseball with my husband and dad. I truly cherish the feeling of coziness, security, and peace this area provides, and I’m dedicated to helping you find that same feeling in a place you can call home.

  • Jeff Roland

    I bring a well-rounded background in mortgages, long-term rental investments, construction, and financial strategy to every real estate transaction. My experience across multiple areas of the industry allows me to provide clients with valuable insight that goes far beyond the typical home search.

    With years of experience in mortgage lending and real estate finance, I understand how to structure deals, evaluate investment opportunities, and guide clients through the financial side of buying or selling property. My knowledge of building and construction also helps clients better understand the quality, potential, and long-term value of a home.

    I have a particular passion for real estate investing and helping clients identify opportunities that build wealth and create lasting value.

  • Leslie Medina

    I’m proud to serve buyers and sellers throughout the Florida panhandle, with a special focus on Freeport and the Hammock Bay community where I live.

    Originally from Georgia, I moved to Florida 8 years ago and quickly fell in love with the lifestyle, the people, and the gorgeous scenery here.

    I am proud to be part of Golden Coast Real Estate and proud to work alongside my sister, Lori. We are both inspired by our love for the Emerald Coast and dogs. Being part of a family-run brokerage allows me to offer a more personal, relationship-focused real estate experience.

    Before starting my real estate career, I spent 20+ years in customer service, which shaped my commitment to communication, responsiveness, and attention to detail for every client.

    I’m also a proud mom of three sons, two of whom serve in the United States Air Force. Family, service, and integrity guide how I approach both life and business.

    Whether you’re buying, selling, or relocating to the Emerald Coast, I’m excited to help make the process smooth and enjoyable.
