Blue Marlin Real Estate:The Spirit of the Space Coast

blue marlin Parade floatMuch like the majestic fish that inspired its name, Blue Marlin Real Estate embodies power, precision, and persistence. Founded in 2016 by Brevard natives Chad Paulsen and Nick Chambers, this brokerage has grown into the undisputed leader in Space Coast real estate. With over $3 billion in all-time sales, $650 million this year alone, and more than 7,000 transactions under its belt, Blue Marlin isn’t just a brokerage — it’s a movement.

“We didn’t just move here; we were born and raised here,” Chad said. “Our roots run deep in Brevard, and that’s reflected in everything we do.”

From its humble beginnings in Merritt Island with four agents, Blue Marlin has expanded to include over 200 professionals across three thriving offices. Plans for Palm Bay and Indialantic locations are already in motion, further cementing Blue Marlin’s position as the go-to brokerage on the Space Coast.

Chad Paulsen AND Nick Chambers

Chad Paulsen AND Nick Chambers

Born in Brevard, Built to Excel

For Chad and Nick, real estate wasn’t just a career choice — it was destiny. Chad grew up immersed in Brevard’s waterways, helping at his family’s Paulsen’s Bait & Tackle shop and navigating the Banana River in his free time. By age 19, he earned his real estate license and never looked back.

Nick’s story is equally compelling. As the son of a developer and custom home builder, real estate was in his blood. After earning a degree from the University of Central Florida, he turned his family legacy into a passion for delivering exceptional client experiences.

Together, these lifelong friends founded Blue Marlin Real Estate to bring something unique to the Space Coast: a client-focused, results-driven brokerage that feels like family.

A Focus on Clients, Not Just Transactions

Blue Marlin’s success stems from one unwavering principle: putting clients first.

“We don’t just help clients buy and sell homes; we build lifelong relationships,” Chad said. “It’s amazing to see families return to us generation after generation.”

From first-time homebuyers to retirees searching for luxury waterfront estates, Blue Marlin provides personalized service tailored to every client’s needs. The brokerage has set record-breaking prices across Brevard County, including the highest-priced riverfront property in Cocoa Beach EVER.

ALWAYS LEAD, NEVER FOLLOW

The numbers back their success: over 2,000 five-star Google reviews and countless testimonials from clients who call Blue Marlin’s service “10 stars.”

Independent, Innovative, and Unmatched

What sets Blue Marlin apart is its independence. Unlike corporate franchises, Blue Marlin operates without the red tape, allowing for agility, innovation, and a hyper-local focus.

“We know Brevard like the back of our hands because this is home,” Nick explained.

The team draws inspiration from within and outside the real estate industry, continually adopting fresh ideas to improve client experiences and agent success. From advanced marketing tools to tailored transaction strategies, Blue Marlin ensures its agents have everything they need to lead in the marketplace.

Community at the Core

Giving back is more than a priority for Blue Marlin—it’s a way of life. The brokerage and its agents dedicate time and resources to causes close to their hearts, from organizing the Merritt Island Boat Parade to supporting local nonprofits.

“Our reach goes far beyond transactions — it’s a lifestyle,” said Chad. “We’ve earned the community’s trust by not only delivering results but by genuinely caring about where we live and work.”

Blue Marlin’s impact is visible everywhere — from clients proudly carrying branded YETIs to agents sparking conversations about real estate in local cafés.

Leading Online and On the Ground

Blue Marlin dominates more than the real estate market — it also leads in the digital space. With a vibrant social media presence that’s “a vibe,” the brokerage connects with its audience through dynamic content, showcasing everything from record-breaking properties to community events.

“No other brokerage comes close to our social media engagement,” Nick said. “It’s one of the many ways we stay connected with the people who matter most — our clients.”

Looking Ahead

With plans to expand into Palm Bay and Indialantic, Blue Marlin’s growth shows no signs of slowing down. But one thing will never change: its commitment to excellence and the Space Coast community.

“At Blue Marlin, being the best isn’t a milestone — it’s the standard,” said Om Dabhi, Sales Coach at Blue Marlin Real Estate. “Excellence isn’t just what we strive for; it’s who we are. And when Brevard thinks of real estate, we want them to think of Blue Marlin.”
