Testimonials

  We cannot say enough good things about John. From the very start seven months ago when we told him (in confidence) about our plans to relocate from our home of 24 years, leave the area, and we'd like for him to handle the sale of our home, everything has gone as planned, or in most cases, better than planned. When the day came to list the home, we had a full-price offer on the home from our first visit that met all of the requirements that we had in place (as is, closing timeframe, etc.), essentially everything we all had prayed for. From that point, John handled everything with regard to the details of the closing. Approximately 4 weeks before we closed, we had to vacate the house to move across the state, and John handled everything with our electricians, handyman, and anything else that came up (and believe me, things did). If you are in need of buying or selling in the Emerald Coast, you need look no further than to John Lavin.

  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.

  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.

  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!
