Meet the Team

 

Jon Charles, President

Born in Miami and raised in Chicago, Jon Charles has always had a deep connection to South Florida. After graduating from Southern Illinois University with a degree in advertising, Jon pursued his MBA at Lynn University in Boca Raton. His career in the advertising industry took him to West Palm Beach, Scottsdale, AZ, and San Francisco, CA, where he honed his skills in marketing and client relations.

Now back in Palm Beach County with his wife Brooke and their two children, Jon has embraced his passion for helping others transform their homes. His expertise in real estate, particularly in the beautiful areas of Tequesta and Jupiter, FL, led him to expand his knowledge further by becoming a Broker Associate. This background has seamlessly transitioned into his latest venture as a partner in Coastal Florida Construction Group.

At Coastal Florida Construction, Jon combines his real estate insights with a focus on construction renovations, helping clients enhance their living spaces with the same dedication and attention to detail that has defined his career. Jon’s deep understanding of the local market, coupled with his commitment to quality, makes him a valuable asset to the Coastal Florida Construction team.
