We are a military family that has been away from Navarre for 11 years and when notified of moving…read moreback decided to buy from a distance. When the time came to come back and buy again Dave and team were our one and only call. Buying a home from a distance requires 100% transparency and the unique skill to understand your clients anxieties, he is a professional at both. The market in Navarre is very hot and we took 3 months, multiple contracts and offers to finally find a home. During the entire process we never felt rushed nor out of the loop. When you work with Dave you truly feel like you have someone there to fight for you. If you are in the area or if you are Military coming in on a PCS there really is only one agent, Dave Leutwyler We would not use anyone else to buy or sale in Navarre. Thank you again for all your help Dave!

This post is from an experienced homebuyer with 10 DoD PCS's…read more If you don't mind your realtor using your closing funds as a give-away to his business partners/friends, then by all means. Bought a home through a DoD move thru these guys. Showing and negotiations went fine, and we ended up with a beautiful home BUT....as we closed, this broker made it sound like FL law stipulates the seller picked the closing company. Found out world Impact actually picked it and when confronted, acted like I could do nothing about it. Surprise, surprise... the closing was with the Title Company of the broker's tennis buddy. Ignoring my repeated requests, waited until 4 days until closing to show me the settlement sheet and I found it was padded with ~$20k of closing fees (~1/3 of my down payment) including ~$5k for the title company (his tennis buddy) and a ~$500 charge for a home warranty--Old Republic (his best friend heads up THAT business in FL--don't bother contacting--they won't respond) --that I never asked for. My mortgage broker was shocked at the closing fees but I was told by World Impact "we can remove some of these fees on the settlement sheet but it will put your closing off by 30 days, and the seller will move on to next." To me, that amounts to extortion. FINALLY, when I ran into undisclosed issues with my home, I was told to contact a lawyer. I mean, WHY EVEN HAVE A BUYERS BROKER? Save yourself the 3% and unnecessary closing costs you'll find on your settlement sheet. .

Tracy Steely was our agent on the purchase of our home in Santa Rosa Beach. We found the house…read moreonline and trusted her to handle the negotiations for us until we relocated from Colorado to Florida. I didn't feel Tracy fought for the best deal. Our lender had to ask her for necessary documents multiple times. Once we arrived in Florida, we walked the build site and were disappointed by a few things that we felt Tracy should have relayed. In the end, we never met Tracy. She failed to send necessary documents in a timely manner (without multiple prompts) to our lender and the builder's agent. She didn't show up at the closing. She didn't welcome us to our new home. She didn't even send a thank you card. We call her the ghost agent. She never materialized (though she did cash her check). **The builders agent, Randy Rintala, was fantastic and went way way beyond his scope of duties to help us settle into our new home. I highly recommend Randy.

Working with Vianke, we soon realized that she not only met these expectations, but exceeded them. She was always available for our questions and concerns, she kept us in the loop with every step and detail, she gave great advice along the way, she truly educated us through the process so we came out understanding the buying process better. She made the experience fun and personal. We know she was just as excited about our purchase as we were and worked hard each step of the way to make sure we got everything we wanted at the prices we deserved. You don't need to shop around for a realtor any further, Vianke is your girl.

Over the 8 years that we rented our home while we finished out our military career, many of the employees came and went but the quality of service was always less than acceptable. The majority of that time, the entire property management section was dumped on one individual and in some cases he was out of the office for extended amount of time. The contract is written so that the only way out of dealing with Navarre Beach realty (if they placed the tenant) is to evict the tenant. Regardless what you are told, nobody will be watching over your home and checking the quality and timeliness of any maintenance required or preformed on the house. You will be outright lied to and deceived regarding the work that is being provided for the 10% or the rental price. The hardest that I saw them work was when they were fighting for the tenant to get their deposit back after leaving the house with damages far exceeding the deposit. If you value HONESTY and HARD WORK like I do I would highly recommend looking elsewhere or managing yourself.

Three months after hiring her, we moved into our new home eight hours away, and she immediately became our eyes and ears for the property. Over the next four months, Judy proved to be an outstanding communicator, embracing every challenge, providing detailed weekly updates, managing our lawn service, identifying dying grass, and arranging repairs with a local irrigation company. With the house vacant, she even addressed a water issue and performed light cleaning to ensure it always looked its best for showings. Her extensive market knowledge and exceptional negotiating skills were evident as she guided us through a slow, volatile market, offering expert, data-driven advice that saved us thousands when adjusting our price. Described as "sweet but tough," with a warm sense of humor, she genuinely cares for her clients and treats them as more than just customers. Judy is truly an honest and objective realtor who prioritizes her clients' interests, provides candid assessments, and never sugarcoats the facts. We are deeply grateful to have worked with her and recommend her without hesitation. Cecil & Eloise S.
