“As the CEO of resort real
estate company that has acquired
over 50 residences in 28
destinations throughout the
North America, I have seen
dozens of different real estate
firms and their staff at work,
many whose advertising and
branding state they are the
“leading” firms in the industry.
And I, indeed, have been
fortunate to work with many
outstanding realtors over the
last 4 years. That said, I can
say without reservation that the
work of Beach Properties of
Florida and specifically, that
of John David Sullivan and Tommy
Brantley, is the finest we have
seen in the nation. We have been
involved in 4 different and
challenging acquisitions in the
WaterColor market and have been
successful with each. This is
directly attributable to the
deep market understanding and
outstanding skills of John David
and Tommy. “

"I recently had the pleasure of
working with Beach Properties of
Florida (Tommy Brantley) during
my acquisition of a condominium
along Highway 30-A in Santa Rosa
Beach. I had been watching the
30-A market for years and
finally decided it was time to
make an offer. I talked with a
few different agents initially,
but was immediately impressed
with Tommy's local knowledge and
his excellent customer service.
Tommy went out of his way to
make sure that no question went
unanswered and no request went
unfulfilled in an efficient,
timely manner, which was
critical since I reside four
hours north in Birmingham.
Tommy's expertise made for a
smooth closing, and it helped a
ton being able to leverage off
of his local network of contacts
(lenders, insurers, inspectors,
etc.). If/when I decide to buy
or sell anything else on the
panhandle, my first call will be
to Tommy Brantley at Beach
Properties of Florida."

"Working with Bobby Johnson and
his team was a delight from
start to finish. Their
widespread contacts and
experience helped them sell our
land at an excellent price, and
they were with us every step of
the way until the day of
closing. In the process, Bobby
became a friend. That's a great
recommendation in itself. If you
want knowledgeable, experienced,
well-connected real estate
agents who make the buying or
selling process as stress-free
and enjoyable possible, we
highly recommend Bobby and his
team."

"Bobby Johnson He The Man!
My story’s not special.
Same tale shared by others.
I’d run out of options,
choices and ‘druthers.
My savings were gone,
How to pay next month’s bills?
There’d be bouncing of checks
with my balance of nils.
I called Bobby Johnson
in search of a plan.
Gave my listing to Bobby,
said “please sell this land”.
In a matter of days
He came to my aid.
With a buyer in tow,
the sale contract was made.
For the rest of my days
I’ll sing high his praises,
‘cuz He states what IT IS
without bunk or bull phrases.
Call Bobby Johnson
when in need of a plan.
I tout Bobby J ‘cuz
He IS The Man.
Thanks Bobby!"

"My husband and I feel extremely
lucky to have made the
acquaintance of Bobby Johnson
more than 5 years ago. We
already owned a waterfront condo
on 30-A and were interested in
making other investments in the
area. Bobby could not have been
more helpful, informed or
professional in addition to
being a very warm, delightful
and caring person. His knowledge
of the area is extremely
thorough and he has helped us
make prudent investments and
business decisions. We trust
Bobby’s judgment and expertise
on all subjects relating to real
estate on beautiful 30-A!"

Bobby and Garner are true real
estate connoisseurs. I have
worked with them through my
title company as
co-professionals in closing
transactions as well as on a
personal basis as their customer
and each circumstance they have
shown the highest caliber of
service and professionalism. I
would recommend their services
to anyone seeking a committed
real estate team that can offer
positive results.

When my husband and I decided to
buy beachfront property along
30A, we were concerned about how
difficult it would be to buy
from Atlanta. But Karen Holder
of Beach Properties of Florida
made it so easy. I actually did
less than I would have if the
property had been in Atlanta!
Karen was literally my eyes and
ears in Seagrove Beach. I relied
on her for everything from
arranging inspections to taking
pictures to getting me all the
contact information I needed for
the utilities. I don't believe I
would have purchased any
property without Karen to help
me. After we closed she
continued to help us resolve
some last-minute issues with the
seller, even though she had
already gotten her commission.
Karen definitely epitomizes that
"going the extra mile"
mentality. I highly recommend
Karen Holder and Beach
Properties of Florida. When the
time comes to buy or sell beach
property, I'll be calling Karen.

"My wife Mary Frances and I have
been long-time Watercolor
visitors.
This past spring we decided to
make the leap and invest as
owners in the
community. As we began that
process, we had the great good
fortune of
running into Karen Holder of
Beach Properties of Florida. We
engaged
with Karen in our search for a
new Watercolor home, and could
not have
been happier with the
relationship, the process, or
the results. Karen
quickly gained our trust and
confidence, understood our
tastes and
preferences, pointed us only to
properties that truly looked
like they
would "work," and generally
provided terrific navigation as
we worked
towards a decision.
Even after we had a signed
contract, Karen continued to be
a great
friend in helping us deal with
those little nits that, while
not
significant, could only be dealt
with from Atlanta with the help
of
someone actually living near
Watercolor. She has kept in
touch and I
know that, even though our
transaction is complete and we
are thrilled
with our new Watercolor home, we
can always reach out to Karen
for
guidance and counsel on anything
related to being new Watercolor
homeowners.
We wouldn't hesitate to
recommend Karen to anyone!"
Take it easy.
