The original heart of the Black & Gold.
Some members of a team leave a mark that can never quite be replaced.
King Black was one of them.
Our beloved Golden Retriever and B&B Luxury Properties’ original Chief Morale Officer, King was far more than the handsome face behind an honorary title. He was part of the fabric of B&B—the quiet presence beside us through busy days, important meetings, celebrations, challenges, and countless moments in between.
True to his name, King carried himself with a certain dignity. Calm, loyal, gentle, and endlessly loving, he had an extraordinary ability to make everyone around him feel welcome.
He didn't need to do very much.
He simply needed to be there.
Long before B&B had a formal morale department, King had already assumed the position.
He understood that every important meeting could benefit from a Golden Retriever nearby. That long days were better with a walk. That clients should always be warmly welcomed. And that sometimes the best way to handle a stressful moment was simply to sit beside someone.
His job description may have started as a little B&B fun, but the role suited him perfectly.
King brought warmth to our office, joy to our family, and a gentleness that became part of the culture of B&B itself.
He reminded us that even in a business built around beautiful properties, what makes a place truly special has very little to do with the house.
It's who you share it with.
King may no longer be walking through the B&B office, but his presence will always be part of our story.
His successor, Indy, now proudly carries the title of Chief Morale Officer—a role with some very big paw prints to follow.
And while Indy has brought her own unmistakable energy and personality to the position, King will forever hold a very special distinction:
The Original Chief Morale Officer of B&B Luxury Properties.
Some legacies are measured in accomplishments.
King's is measured in memories, loyalty, laughter, companionship, and an extraordinary amount of love.
He was family.
He was Black & Gold.
And he will always be part of B&B.
KING BLACK
The Original Chief Morale Officer
Forever loved. Forever missed. Forever part of our story.
