Hope Blankenship

1623 B 25th Ave Gulfport, MS 39501

Hope and her family have lived on the Mississippi Gulf Coast for over 13 years. The Air Force brought her and her husband here from Alaska, where she grew up, and though her husband has since retired from the Air Force they have made Biloxi their permanent home. They love everything about the coast from the laid-back “beach life,” to the local people that have become like family. She and her husband have several Airbnb properties along the beach and love staying engaged with real estate investing and selling trends along the coast. Hope has been in the financial industry for over 20 years and has had a long client list of real estate investors as well as helping military families find their homes here. She is very knowledgeable about the coast economy and is a board member for the MS Coast Chamber as well as a member of the Gulf Coast Business Council. She also volunteers at her church on the weekends and enjoys mentoring women in their walk-through entrepreneurship, finances, or just growing in their relationship with the Lord. In her free time Hope enjoys taking trips to the beach with her family, building her business and serving her local community!
