Such a wonderful experience working with Joe.
100% satisfaction.

John David Betts, Miramar Beach, FL, a seller from Miramar Beach, FL
Joe Fagundes III was outstanding at setting expectations regarding the market, pricing, and sale possibilities. He took the time to understand our specific concerns, desires, and pricing limitations. He keep trying to be sure all of our expectations were met, even when we pulled the house from the market due to health concerns. He continued to work behind the scenes and ultimately sold the home while working around health issues being experienced in our family. He became a friend along with being a business partner in the sale of a home. We would recommend Joe to others who want an honest, caring, and professional partner involved in their real estate transactions!

Tom and Jane Huegerich Niceville, FL, a buyer from Niceville, FL
In the past 50 years, my wife and I have purchased 11 homes and sold 9 homes. We have worked with realtors in 7 states from Vermont to Florida. Joe clearly stands out as the best agent we have worked with over these many years. He patiently guided us through the a challenging purchase process in an extremely difficult market with limited inventory. His commitment to helping us find our home for retirement in Niceville has been most appreciated by my wife and me. Words are inadequate to express our gratitude for his professionalism and also his friendship.

After closing Joe provided invaluable advice on identifying reliable contractors Tto complete updates we wanted to accomplish. His knowledge and experience were instrumental in getting the work completed on schedule and under budget. On a number of occassions, he visited us to check on us.

We love our new home. Thank you to Joe from the bottom of our hearts.

Bob Mathers, Niceville , a seller from Niceville, FL
Joe did an outstanding job for us. Even though he is a good friend and a neighbor, we wouldn't hesitate to use him as an agent for a number of reasons. First, he is a former businessman and obviously understands market trends and the need to deal with potential buyers in a timely manner. Second, he provides a great blend of excellent negotiator and gentle persuader. Most importantly, he dealt with a lot of behind the scenes conflict and 'drama' because he knew we had a lot going on besides the sale of our home. He was aware of our goals and didn't have to bother us with annoying details to close the deal. We were satisfied and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to friends or family.

Karen Sanders, Niceville, FL. , a seller from Niceville, FL
Joe was absolutely wonderful! This was a relatively last minute decision to sell this home and he helped me every step of the way. I would recommend him to everyone.
Joe answered all of my questions and concerns and ALWAYS got right back to me when I had questions. He took the time to listen and patiently explained the process.

Tracy Pelham - Nashville, TN, a buyer from Miramar Beach, FL
Joe definitely knows paradise! Very knowledgeable about the area where I was interested in buying. I came to town for one week on a mission to buy a beachside condo and Joe had everything lined up based on the parameters I had provided him. The properties he selected did not disappoint and by week's end I was under contract.

Joe is not afraid to negotiate, but experienced enough to guide the transaction within what the market is dictating. He was instrumental in directing me to a local lender, a title company, scheduling an inspection and contractors to help with certain repair items that were discovered as a result of the inspection. Joe was always responsive and kept the transaction on track to close within the timelines set forth in the contract. He went above and beyond to assist with everything I asked.

I would (and will) highly recommend Joe to anyone having real estate needs in the area.

Fritz, Niceville, a buyer from Niceville, FL
My dealings with Joe Fagundes were a real pleasure. We got to my requirements quickly, and he knew the area well. The offer was put together quickly and his advice on it was obviously right as we were the winning offer without overpaying. i can't say enough about his responsiveness, friendly demeanor and overall professionalism. He made it an easy process to buy a home and I'm from out of state. I would recommend Joe to anyone lookin to buy in the area.

Candy, Valparaiso, FL, a seller from Valparaiso, FL
Joe was helpful during a difficult situation. My father passed away during the sale and we had a probate issue which was quickly resolved by a recommendation from Joe. He was exceedingly patient and attentive when dealing with unexpected issues as well.

Bob Thompson, Destin, FL, a seller from Niceville, FL
Joe Fagundes is an exceptional professional. We specifically picked him to sell our house because of his expertise with $1,000,000+ waterfront properties in Niceville. He knows the current market and he knows the sales history of the area. This insight resulted in our house being priced right and sold at the peak of its value. If you're situation is similar to ours, we highly recommend you pick Joe to sell your home. He'll get you top dollar and successfully guide you through closing.

Chloe Denton, a seller from Crestview, FL
I was nervous at the beginning of the process to sale my house, but Joe and Evan really took great care of my needs and wants during the entire journey. I'm pleased with how well we communicated, met and exceeded our goals for this property and how efficient everything went.

Clayton Smith - Niceville, FL, a seller from Niceville, FL
As a partner in a home construction company Joe has been our listing agent for numerous homes over the past four years. Most recently we were unable to close on a house due to an unexpected life change with the buyer. Joe had us another contract within 24 hours and we closed on the house within one month.

Joe has always represented our company with integrity and a strong work ethic.

Kim Havas, NC, a seller from Bagdad, FL
As an out of the area seller, I was satisfied as Joe kept me informed of sales process & closing was accomplished without complications.

Charlyn Lang, Mary Esther, FL, a seller from Mary Esther, FL
We had our home on the market a total of three days. Joe Fagundes III was knowledgeable and helped get our home sold on time. Our open house was packed due to his hard work on marketing. Thank you for the hard work!

Christine Drake, a buyer from Miramar Beach, FL
It was a unusual 2020 and 2021. Covid-19 and the hurricanes was a challenging time to coordinate real estate transactions! After dealing with another realtor l was finding my desired outcomes not happening. Then l met Joe, it was a Sunday and l was at an open house! I switched realtors immediately! His kindness and support were the sunshine of my experience finding a home to enjoy in my retirement!

He just has the patience and knowledge of all types of homes, condos, townhouses, new builds that will fit your needs! He researches and does not waste your time on areas or types that do not meet your needs!

Immediate response on all questions and transactions!

Peter Meilunas, Satellite Beach Florida, a seller from Navarre, FL
Joe is known as one of the best in the area and he proved it!

Betty Robertson Inlet Beach, FL, a seller from Santa Rosa Beach, FL
Joe Fagundes proved to me that he knew real estate. He is professional and worked hard during this difficult time of Covid. He always considered the safety of all.

Matthew Hasty, Niceville, a seller from Niceville, FL
Our experience with Joe Fagundes has been delightful. Joe included both my wife and I in the process and beyond exceeded our expectations. He was able to sell our home for over asking price with only 1-day of showings. Also, the price he suggested we sell at was significantly higher than previous suggestions. If you want to sell your home for the highest possible price, with the best possible terms for you as the seller, and in a stress free fashion. Joe is the guy who will fight for you.

Pam Huzzard, Niceville, a seller from Destin, FL
I highly recommend Joe Fagundes. I have worked with him several times both purchasing and selling properties in the Destin/Miramar Beach area. He is knowledgeable, understanding, and highly effective.

Evan H, Niceville , a seller from Mary Esther, FL
After deciding that I was ready to sell my home, a friend recommended that I contacted Joe to have him run a CMA. After making contact, I had a full market analysis within the hour and the next day Joe was over at my house to see it in person and talk details. I was highly impressed with his market knowledge and eagerness to help me get the most out of my home. We decided that a few upgrades were needed to bring the house up to par and Joe walked with me every step of the way. In the end, we had tons of interest and were given three offers over asking price after only our first two days of showing the home. I am extremely thankful for Joe's knowledge and help throughout this entire process. The transaction was seamless and I would highly recommend anyone who is ready to sell to give him a call. He is a no pressure, hard working kind of guy that loves the business.

Thanks Joe!

Marianne Macy, Annapolis Maryland, a seller from Niceville, FL
Had bad experience with local realtors and was at wit's end. It occurred to me to ask the banker who gave us a loan on our house and over years had proved to be honest, great people to work with. They immediately said Joe Fagundes did their real estate work and that of their family. They trusted him implicitly and he was a total pro, the best in the area. Coming from them that was high praise. From the beginning he was communicative, jumped in and dug into details that had not been touched previously. He hit the ground running.

The most honest, hardworking, brilliant, competent realtor you could have. This was not an ordinary sale. It involved government, development projects, and some legal aspects. Joe knew how to handle it all and get the most for the property. He did it in record time and I thought he was exaggerating when he said he always closed in thirty days but he did it. Another guy gave me misinformation. Joe did the research and found the right information. He is the best realtor in the area.

We were selling a property to the city of Niceville. Joe had the relationships, the absolutely critical sophistication and knowledge of the business there to make this sale happen and maximize it for us. He did research and found some important legal background prior realtor had not that made a huge difference in the sale. And he closed in thirty days. There is not a better realtor in the area. Joe does not miss anything. He knows the area in and out. He knows what he's doing. Hard working, great person and great at what he does.

Joe Fagundes is the consummate real estate talent and professional. When your bank lender tells you this is the guy they personally use, that is the greatest indication of how good he is. Our experience more than underlined that. We were dealing out of state the whole time and he took care of everything. I will always thank God I thought of calling the bank to ask them for a recommendation. I could not have imagined how great he would be. Having your business taken care of and handled with top success is not something that happens unless you get Joe.

Amy Riddell, a seller from Niceville, FL
I highly recommend Joe Fagundes. He is a man of integrity who possesses great knowledge and expertise in his field.

Because of his excellent communication skills, I always felt informed about the buying process and knew I could count on him to return my calls with requested updates.

Because of his calm demeanor and his reassuring manner, I felt safely guided through the complex home buying-process that is often characterized by stress and uncertainty.

Joe knows his stuff and is a down-to-earth good guy. You can't do better than Joe!

Jon, a seller from Fort Walton Beach, FL
Wow, what a great job Joe did for us when we sold our property! In twenty-four hours we had multiple offers on our home, and we got above our asking price! Joe cares about the customer and the details, and his communication skills are excellent! Working with Joe took all of the guesswork and worry out of the process, and his efforts on our behalf were exceptional. I give Joe my highest recommendation!

Amy Walker, Bremen,Georgia, a seller from Panama City, FL
Joe did an awesome job with the sale of our home. He was always there to answer our calls and prompt to answer any questions or concerns we had. He was friendly and caring. I felt he went over and beyond helping us with issues with the house since we lived far away and could not always be there. I would highly recommend him to anyone as an excellent broker.

Bob and Sally Taft, a seller from Miramar Beach, FL
Joe took over our listing after we had only one showing in 4 months. Joe is a straight forward tireless worker and marketer. He brought us 4 offers in 8 days. But that is not the best part. Joe goes above and beyond past closing to make sure we had accurate information and expectations. We strongly recommend Joe's services to anyone looking for a true professional.
