Testimonials
"We bought our first property in Sandestin in 1997 and have lived here full-time since 2000. We are in our third home, which Brad found for us, and it is the perfect home for us. We found Brad to be the most honest and up-front real estate professional that we have ever dealt with. In the event that we ever decide to sell, he will be our listing agent."

“Brad listened to our needs and desires and really did his homework on what we wanted and presented a wide range of options based on our criteria. We were extremely please with the professionalism and courtesy Brad showed us and with his preparedness to really find a good value. If we ever make any other real estate moves in the area, Brad will be our guy and we would refer our friends and family to him without any hesitation.”

“Brad Smith is a super guy. I came in contact with Brad when I was looking for a second home in Sandestin, FL. Brad educated me to the area and the values until I was comfortable with the process. He was patient and very supportive. Since Brad is and has been a resident of the Gulf Coast for several decades, he can walk a buyer through the education process with confidence. That purchase was the best decision I ever made in regards to investment property. I would recommend Brad highly to educated and novice buyers alike.”
--Jerry Kocan
“I have known Brad since 1994 and have bought and sold a number of properties with Brad as my agent. There is no one I would trust more on a real estate purchase. He is honest, candid and is interested in making sure the transaction is conducted in the highest professional manner. As I continue to search and evaluate other properties for investment or personal use, Brad is the first person I contact.

“Brad is a true pleasure to work with. His calm and personable style combined with the fact that he knows the market, made our deal a breeze. There was not a question he couldn’t get answered, and better yet, not a person he didn’t know! He was able to help us every step of the way. I have dealt with many agents in my time and Brad is the best that there is.”

“I have worked with Brad on various real estate dealings for the last five years. I have done both buying and selling transactions with him. His best asset other than good professional service is his personal touch. He treats each deal as if it were his own. You feel like your best interest is being protected. His knowledge of the area comes out well. I like his honesty, not just telling me what I want to hear all the time. You can make good decisions based on the facts. He helps in looking for solutions - not just explanations. The best thing I can say is that I will use his services on future real estate dealings.”

“Brad has a good feel for long term. My name is Tommy Anderton. When I first became a serious buyer in the area I only wanted to spend a certain amount. Brad was slightly “pushy” about location, location, location and even though it would cost another $100,000 to $150,000 it would be a better long term investment. Well I did it MY way and bought where I could afford without being dependent on a loan. It was only a year later when I realized if I am ever going to be in the “location” I better jump because it is moving faster than my income is. So about 15 months after the first purchase I spent $350,000 more than my initial spend and Brad sold my initial purchase for about a $35,000 profit. Had I followed his advice 15 months earlier I could have spent 100,000 to 150,000 versus $350,000 I ultimately spent. I have now spent about four years at ONE BEACH CLUB and love everything about it. Brad is solid.”

His vision and his knowledge about the Destin area and "Sandestin" real estate market in particular are unparallel and his recommendations, extremely valuable to us over the years.

"We met Brad during the Labor Day Weekend 14 years ago (1993) while we were celebrating our 30th anniversary. At the time we were living in Atlanta and had never been to or heard of Sandestin. Brad spent time with us and showed us available real estate then helped us with the right choice for us. Our first Sandestin real estate purchase was made 3 months later which was rental property on the beach. Since then we made 4 additional real estate purchases through Brad in Sandestin, including the home we are living in now. We retired to Sandestin and now live here full time.
Brad really understands the real estate market and his customers' needs. Brad is a true professional and has become a family friend."
