  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 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 Lavin was honest and forward from the very beginning. He gave us great guidance and never once did we feel rushed or pressured to make a decision. Highly recommend him. Great guy!

  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.
