Testimonials
I found John by complete happenstance, but as it turned out he is a great realtor. He is not pushy in the slightest, and he considered and pursued our actual needs in a home, and not what would make him the most commission. He is very knowledgeable about panhandle and overall a pleasure to work...

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.

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 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 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 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.

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.

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!

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!

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...
