  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!

  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!

We are so thankful to have worked with John and will highly recommend him to anyone in the area!

  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.

  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.

  Super great realtor who makes it happen.. He goes out of his way for his clients. I would highly recommend him to anyone selling or buying their home.

  He is an amazing real estate agent and an ever better person. He’s very professional and will go out of his way to help. He helped me build and close on my first home and walked me through the home buying process and made it incredibly seamless and easy. He explained the whole thing in a way I could understand and helped me invest my money in an appreciating property and location.
