What Our Clients Say

John was great to work with in our search for a new home. We were moving from Michigan and needed to find a home fast. John was very accommodating and cleared his schedule for the two days that I flew down. After we found the home we wanted, John helped by providing solid data and correspondence with the seller's agent that really helped with the negotiations. We were able to get the home for the price w...

What Our Clients Say

John Holahan is awesome! As a new resident of Northwest Florida, I began searching to purchase a home. I utilized several websites for my search one of these websites belonged to John and his company. I browsed the site, and John took the initiative to contact me via email through this site.

What Our Clients Say

John was our real estate agent for our 700k property purchase in Destin, FL. He is amazing! Has excellent knowledge of the area and what's available on the market. Throughout the process he completely earned our trust. He steered us clear from properties that on the surface seemed great but were in fact flawed even thought they were more expensive and he would have stood to make a financial gain. Most ag...

What Our Clients Say

We had a recommendation from a good friend to use John Holahan, and it was a great idea. Kay and I met with John the first time in June of 2014. He was very attentive and made a list of our wishes for a beach condo on 30A, while showing us several options. We worked with John over the next year by phone and through his hard work we closed on our new condo in April of 2015. I can highly recommend John for...

What Our Clients Say

We specifically sought John out for the purchase of our property based on our prior experience with him a few years earlier. He is personable and effective, he understands the market and he understood quickly what we were looking for and targeted the properties that would fit. I would recommend John with my highest regards.

— Buyer

What Our Clients Say

The number one thing I'd say about John is that he he actually knows rental numbers and percentages. A lot of realtors will give you a lot of fluff and act like they know the business, but in general John has owned multiple Destin properties in the past on his own and had the experience and know John has helped us purchase a condo as an investment in 2013 and was very helpful in driving us around giving ...
