Testimonials

  I am a licensed Real Estate Agent but new to the area and also new to condo purchases. I felt using John as my agent would give me the knowledge and info needed for this first condo purchase. He was friendly the first time I met him and was very comfortable asking him to help me out with this. He found us a condo prior to it coming on the market and was able to negotiate in this very competitive arena.

  Highly recommend working with John! John, found exactly what we needed, in the perfect location and on budget. He found us a hidden gem that we would have overlooked if seeing only what we liked from the listings. We also had to work long distance for much of the process. He looked out for our...

  John needs to be everyone’s go to agent in the Destin/Fort Walton Beach/Niceville area! He went above and beyond to help us purchase our first home while we were over seas. He knows the area very well, is very honest about what he thinks of the houses we saw of what we can expect with the various houses. Because we were remote he sent us lots of videos of all the details of the houses. Once we picked our house he helped us get everything set up and continues to monitor the house until we can move in. Absolutely going to be working with John if sell our house or look to buy another!

  John did a great job communicating with three people (two sisters and myself) about the sale of our parents home. Any issues that came up were quickly taken care of by him and expenses were kept to a minimum. We were able to keep our original deadline to close the sale because John made everything happen. He obviously has the experience to work things out.

  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.

  John Lavin listened to my ideas and wants. He suggested some great ideas that ended up working well. He reached out to “out of state” markets in several regions of the Souteast. It paid off with a couple from Texas made the trip and ended up buying our home. We’re so looking forward to his Thank...

  John was extremely helpful throughout and even after the whole process. He went above and beyond what I expected. Not only did he help me find my home, but he helped me find resources. He was available at the drop of a dime and always had an answer. I would recommend John to anybody looking to find a home.

  John is the very best in this real estate industry. He listens to clients needs, he takes the opportunity to match up needs with inventory, and he follows through in every step of the sale. He takes care of his clients from beginning to end. A true, genuine expert in his field.

  My Husband and I purchased a home with John while living out of state. He was very knowledgable of the area and helpful in finding us the best spot! John was organized and patient when I came in town to house hunt and because of his relationship with the other local realtors, we managed to get the first house we put an offer on, which is wild in this market! We are so thankful to have worked with John and will highly recommend him to anyone in the area!

  John recently helped my wife and I close on a condominium at the Palms of Destin. There were a lot of hurdles to financing a condo and john did a wonderful job of helping us pick the unit and get the financing by introducing us to a local banker who specialized in condo loans or portfolio loans.

  John did an excellent job in selling my property. He was always available whenever I had a question. We spent alot of time in determining the price of my property. I really enjoyed working with John.

  John was a referral. And I can see why. He has no idea if I was just kicking tires or serious. He always responded to inquiries and followed through. I am from Texas. He is in Florida. When I was ready for a visit. He had properties lined up for showing and spent 4 days showing me around. After...

  I have been in the military for over 30 years and have worked with numerous realtors over those years… John is hands down the best realtor I have ever worked with. He did an absolutely great job helping us sell our home. From listing to closing, he kept us informed and responded to all our request. The listing/photos he posted for the sale where A+…really highlighted our place online and we had numerous showings within hours of posting. I’d recommend John to anyone who’s looking for a professional who will work hard to sell your property.

  John is incredible to work with! He has a great deal of knowledge and experience. He was always available to talk or text about any questions or concerns my husband or I had. My husband and I purchased a new build and he came to the house multiple times to meet with the builder. He was detailed and pointed out items that needed to be corrected before we signed. He is kind and helpful and I cannot recommend him enough. John is going to be attentive and understanding to your goals and needs. I am thankful to have worked with him.
