  Great local expert. Got us an amazing price for our lot and helped us look for other local options. Understood what we wanted and didn’t waste our time. Always checked in with us. Would definitely recommend John Lavin.

  John did the impossible in finding us exactly what we were looking for when we weren’t sure what we were looking for! He took us to see everything that he thought we might like and then helped us narrow down the field until in a week we put in an offer on a condo that we just love. No buyers remorse, just buyers joy. His patience, professionalism and knowledge of the market were awesome. Couldn’t have done it without John.

  John helped us look for multiple years until we were finally able to find the right place and pull the trigger. We appreciated his patience and his negotiation skills when the time came. Would highly recommend John!

  Steve and I wouldn’t have been able to purchase our home away from home without John’s help. His knowledge of the Destin area and and understanding of what we were looking for was so helpful. John was always and still is available to help us out or answer questions we might have. We appreciate how John went above and beyond to help us find our beach condo. We are so thankful and look forward to many lazy beach days in the near future at our new place. Thanks John! The Forbes

  I recently moved from Colorado to Florida. While in Colorado, John Lavin was recommended to my family (who is local in Destin, FL).

  We could not ask for more..... We are real estate investor from out of state and we are very particular to who we hire. In this business, you can not cut short on the people you hire especially the RE agent. JOHN IS YOUR GUY! He is the perfect definition of Agent. He represents his client, with the best interest for his client. He tells you if it's a good investment/purchase. For example, Most agents will of course go for a highest purchase price for a better commission. John is different. Regardless of the price, he makes sure your purchase best suites your need/intent of the purchase. Now, THATS what we call real Agent.

  Negotiated off $40k in hottest sellers market ever !!! What more can I say !!! If I could give him more stars I would. Great negotiator and has his clients best interest at heart !!! Highly recommend him to represent you whether you are purchasing or selling a property.

  John went over and above before and after we bought our home. He helped us find the best house for us within our price range. He always responded to our calls and text in a timely manner, and also told us the pros and cons of each house we looked at.

  It was a pleasure working with John Lavin. He is a very caring agent. He put our needs first throughout the process. He was not only very knowledgeable but also very patient when finding the home of our dreams. We will definitely be buying a house again through John Lavin down on 30A.

  John was great helping my wife and I find a vacation home on 30a for our family. We don’t live in the area and John was persistent with finding properties for us to look at. He met with us on FaceTime to show the property, and was quick to contact selling agents and respond to our questions. When we found the house we ended up purchasing, John was very helpful in negotiations with the sellers, follow up for inspections and repairs, and advising us on the offer. We would highly recommend John and would happily have him represent us again in the future.
