    We have used John's expertise both as a buyer's and seller's agent. Throughout both our purchase and eventual sale, John went out of his way to ensure we got the best deal possible. In addition to his local knowledge of market conditions, John went above and beyond what we had experienced with other agents in our previous real estate dealings. Both our purchase, and sale, were done while we were out of state, and John handled both for us. He was always there when we needed him, even if it was the smallest of requests. John is a respected member of his community and his contacts and resources are second to none. Trust John to handle your real estate needs and you won't be disappointed.

    Over the past couple of years John has shown my husband & I several properties in the area based upon our criteria. He was alway well prepared with information regarding comps, hoa fees, taxes & other factors & would offer his professional opinion on the pros & cons of each listing. John has also been accommodating in arranging viewing several properties we called him about which we were interested in seeing. Finally, after finding the home which we wished to purchase John helped in negotiating the deal but didn’t stop there. He also found a buyer for our previous home & closed the deal within one week.

    John was EXCELLENT to work with. We searched for our home for several years and used a couple of agents in the area before finally landing with John and he was the best by far! John is extremely knowledgeable about the area and made the closing process and set up of our new home easy. I still ask him who should I use for AC/plumbing/electricians, etc & he is always prompt to respond. My mother in law is planning to move to the area and we will most definitely be using John to assist in our search.

    John has managed our Miramar Beach, FL rental property since 2015 and has done an excellent job for us at reasonable cost. He has also been a great deal of help to us in remodelling the property with no charges for his assistance although it went a great deal beyond property management. John is currently assisting us in selling the property as we wish to to trade up and we look forward to continuing to work with him in the future.

    We will never use another agent to buy or sell a home. Our experience with the John Paulsen group went very smooth with the purchase of our home sight unseen. We trusted John’s judgement and he came through for us. From financing, to insuring our property we could not be more satisfied with his recommendations. He also made sure our property was clean and ready to move in when we arrived from Indiana. Honestly, we got lucky meeting him from another recommendation. I know things would not have gone as smooth as they did if we had used any other realtor.

    John is a wonderful person. Very knowledgeable, caring and professional. I plan on moving to Florida in a few years and I told John he would be the only agent I use. Through the years of owning our condo, John has always been there for me and my family on a minutes notice . I would trust him with anything and definitely recommend him to anyone that has real estate interests.

    John has gone above and beyond our expectations. We have since purchased two more properties for rentals and he manages these through his company, Destin Getaways. We have been very pleased and would highly recommend John without a doubt.

    My husband and I had a great home buying experience with John. He helped us find the exact house we were looking for in Miramar Beach. He is always available, responsive, professional and hardworking. He is also a real friendly and easy going person. He is a relentless hard worker and made the process manageable and smooth. Honest and never pushy. If you have any questions about who you want on your side when buying or listing a house then ask no more and call John Paulsen!

    We had worked with John on a rental program with our house in Sandestin and really appreciated his hands on attitude about making it a good experience. When we decided to sell the rental house and purchase a full time home there we decided to work with John. He was great as he listened to what we were looking for and helped us narrow down our wants and needs for a new home. We sold our rental property for what we wanted and were able to close on our new home purchase approximately 30 dates late. Could not have asked for a better experience.
