In November 2016, Cindy Zalar made a life-changing decision to transition from a 23-year nursing career to real estate. With an associate degree in Interior Design and a lifelong passion for homes and creative spaces, she found the perfect way to combine her care for people with her love of design. Guided by faith and the encouragement of her family, Cindy has become a top-producing Realtor® over the past nine years.

A proud Navy wife of 35 years and mother of four—two active-duty Navy members, one GS employee with the Army, and one pursuing medical school through the Navy—Cindy understands firsthand the stress that comes with buying and selling a home. Having PCS’ed 14 times during her family’s 35-year active-duty journey, she knows the challenges of frequent relocations, deployments, and supporting children through each move.

Now a certified Military and Florida Military Specialist, Cindy is a trusted advocate for military buyers and sellers. Her deep knowledge of VA financing and relocation programs allows her to guide families with confidence. Often serving as the eyes and ears for her clients, Cindy frequently videos and tours homes for military buyers and sellers who can’t be there in person. She treats every client like family—because in the military community, that’s exactly what they are.

After 17 wonderful years in Gulf Breeze, Florida, Cindy takes pride in helping clients find their own piece of paradise along the beautiful Florida Panhandle. Known for her honesty, dedication, and professionalism, she strives to make every transaction seamless and stress-free as a valued member of The Realty Vault.
