"Allison and her team were exceedingly professional. She was available when time-sensitive items arose after-hours and she was very responsive. She made the difficult process of parting with a family home from a long distance very easy. She was respectful of my wants/needs and never pressured me to take less. The title company she recommended was also excellent - the best title company I have ever used. Highly recommend!"

"The Richards group and specifically Maddie and Allison, were super helpful in a complicated purchase that had the buyer (me) located remotely. The transaction closed smoothly and on time. Allison and Maddie were ready with referrals for work that needed to be done at the house and we were pleased with work done by those service providers. Richards Group conducted all business in a very professional way, which we appreciated. Thank you!"

"Our house search and purchase process with The Richards Group was fantastic. We traveled from out of state twice to learn the area and ultimately find the perfect property for us. While we were choosy with specific criteria in mind, Scotty and team displayed enduring patience until we identified a home that would meet our needs. However, their dedication did not end at offer acceptance. The team championed our needs right through closing. This was so important since we were moving from out of state. Their focus throughout was above and beyond."

"We were very happy with Allison’s services from start to finish. She was always attentive and responsive, answering every question we had and guiding us through each step of the listing and selling process. It felt like she was truly dedicated to the sale of our home, even though she was undoubtedly managing many other clients at the same time.
Her team was also exceptional — they coordinated with our vacation rental company to manage showings smoothly and helped get the property ready for market with care and attention to detail. As we approached closing, they went above and beyond by managing local contractors on our behalf to ensure everything was in place.
If we were starting the process over, we would absolutely choose to work with Allison again. We highly recommend her to anyone looking to sell in the area."

"The Richard's Group did a fantastic job helping me purchase a condo. They were extremely responsive from the beginning when I made a very unreasonable request to see the condo about an hour before I had to leave town.
From there, they took care of pretty much everything, which was incredibly helpful for an out-of-town buyer. All I had to do was sign a few electronic documents and send a wire. I'd just like to say thank you for all your help."

"Allison Richards and her team are spectacular. Allison responded to an inquiry we made online about a property for sale and met us less than 24 hrs later for a showing. We were impressed that she gave up time on a Sunday for a blind prospect. She showed us multiple properties that day. Allison is extremely knowledgeable about the area and helped us tremendously. After our offer was accepted, Allison and her team helped us through the inspection and closing process. After closing she has kept in touch with us to help with acclimation to the area and to ensure we were happy with our home purchase. We have bought and sold properties in multiple states and can affirm that Allison and her team are the best!"

"We met Allison 4 years ago when we bought in Miramar Beach. She helped us find our current home in Regatta Bay and to deal with any and all issues that came up. As the sellers weren’t cooperative and their agent worse, it was quite a challenge. She sold our former home in Miramar Beach and made all of that transaction seamless. Can’t recommend her enough."

"We recently had the pleasure of working with The Richards Group during the purchase of our family’s home in Rosemary, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From start to finish, their team provided exceptional service that truly went above and beyond.
The Richards Group guided us through the entire buying process with expertise and professionalism. They were not just real estate agents; they acted as true partners in the transaction. Their attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction was evident in every interaction.
What truly set them apart was the "white glove" service they offered. They assisted us with everything from arranging utility transfers to ensuring all aspects of the move were seamless. This level of support made a potentially stressful experience so much more manageable.
If you're looking for a real estate agency that values its clients and delivers outstanding service, The Richards Group is the way to go. We are grateful for their dedication and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in need of real estate services on 30A."

"Our experience with Allison began with an out of town search for an affordable unit that we could turn into a rental - later we bought two lots and eventually sold both when we found a perfect opportunity for a new build in a neighborhood she recommended. Her responsiveness was phenomenal from the very first email. Her guidance has been valuable beyond measure - we have done 6 transactions with Allison since 2019, half as sellers and half as buyers. She knows every neighborhood, the entire community of agents, and gives really great advice (at every price point). We highly recommend that anyone interested in buying or selling in the 30A area, start with Allison. Her service is unparalleled and her expertise invaluable. She also has built an incredible team - we enjoyed working with each and every member of The Richards Group."

"Allison, Scotty, Maddie and the entire team at The Richards Group gave exceptional service with selling our condo start to finish.
Allison visited our property and assessed our place, competing units, the surrounding area’s benefits and challenges, current market conditions, and all the variables that go into selling a property. She shared insights on staging and a competitive list price. Maddie helped us stage our place to make it as comfortable and inviting as possible and to set it apart from comparable units. She even took video of our condo before a storm came our way so we had documentation.
Allison responded immediately to all our questions and ideas. Her knowledge of the area and its resources is extensive, and she made recommendations that gave us peace of mind with us being so far away and not having local contacts.
Allison updated us with showings and sought feedback afterward that informed our decisions. She anticipated what needed to be done to sell and did several open houses. When we received an offer, Scotty secured the best quotes for repairs and even got us a refund. Every task was completed with quality, speed, and care. Scotty personally monitored the work, did walk throughs, and made sure the condo was ready for its new owner.
Allison and her team pay attention to all the details that go into selling a home, and you can wholeheartedly trust them with every decision big and small. They give honest, thoughtful, and expert advice and will help you accomplish your goals. We will one hundred percent work with Allison and her team again for our next investment!"

"My Father was wanting to move from Michigan to Florida and was using zillow to find a condo. He found the one he was interested in and contacted the agent listed under it. Allison was willing to meet with my wife the following day to take a quick look at the condo and take some additional pics to send to my dad to see if this was what he wanted. Allison was able to assist with finding a lender to work with my father as well, and kept him informed through the entire process. She was able to answer any questions about the HOA and its services, as well as local utilities and amenities. She kept her schedule open for the day after our arrival to do the walk through with my father and was very responsive to questions. If she didn't have the answer she was able to get it within minutes. She did a great job being a liaison between the lender and my father, as well as the title company. Allison not only did all this but was very genuinely willing to help, which is a hard thing to find these days. My father has not purchased a property since 1962, and she was able to make this a very smooth transition for him. I would definitely recommend her to anyone in the market."

"We found our house on zillow and used the feature to find a realtor. Allison contacted us immediately and set up an appointment for us to view the home. She was ready with the land survey loaded on her tablet and asked the home owner great questions that we hadn't even thought of yet! Allison kept in constant contact with us throughout each step of the process and even have us a house warming gift at closing. She is very knowledgeable of the area and gave us lots of great suggestions for food and shopping. Allison is very friendly and professional. I would definitely recommend her to friends and family."

"Allison Richards is nothing short of amazing! Our relationship began regarding us renting a house through Backstage Realty. Allison introduced herself and was talking to us in the office while we were filling out rental paperwork. We had mentioned to her that we might need someone who could help us sell Mother-in-Law's house and adjoining lot. Allison said she would go to take a look at the property and give us some figures on what the house and lot would list for in the real estate market. Allison does what she says she is going to do! She had figures back to us within a day or two on the adjoining lot, which we decided to sell first. Allison and her husband Scotty went out and took the most beautiful pictures of the lot for us. Scotty has an amazing eye for great angles and shots with his phenomenal camera. Because of this, we had offers within a day or two. By the end of the week, we had decided to accept the highest bid. Unfortunately, the buyer was not very knowledgeable and there were some issues with the surveyor that came out to the house. Allison was right on it and let it be known to the title company and ourselves that she was not happy with the way things were going with the sale of the lot and we were always on the same page with her. We decided to decline the offer and go with the next best offer. Allison was so aggressive in how she handled this for us. She was superbly professional in all aspects of the sale. She was polite, courteous, a sincere pleasure to work with, and we were so happy we chose her to represent us! Allison was on our side and with the second offer, we closed within a week and everything went super smooth. Allison then told us that she would also help us sell the house when we were ready. She said that the market was hot right now and if we moved really fast and got the house ready for sale, she felt it would sell quickly. Let me tell you, when Allison speaks, you should definitely listen! Not only was she right and we did exactly what she advised us to do, but we also got well over what the list price was for the house and it closed within less than 2 weeks and the whole process was a smooth as glass. It also helped tremendously that Scotty and Allison worked together to take some breathtaking pictures of the house that made that old house look brand new again. WHAT A TEAM these two are! We could not have asked for any better we were so pleased! We could not have asked for a more impressive real estate expert that definitely has the magic touch. Allison is PERFECTION with a capital "P". Her motto in real estate is "Ask Allison"please Ask Allison, choose Allison it will be the one of the best, most rewarding decisions you will ever make in this life! Allison is AWE-INSPIRING! Through this entire process, Allison has made our lives better and now they are more enriched, because now we have a new lifelong friend. THANK YOU EVER SO MUCH ALLISON!"
"Allison Richards is nothing short of amazing! Our relationship began regarding us renting a house through Backstage Realty. Allison introduced herself and was talking to us in the office while we were filling out rental paperwork. We had mentioned to her that we might need someone who could help us sell Mother-in-Law's house and adjoining lot. Allison said she would go to take a look at the property and give us some figures on what the house and lot would list for in the real estate market. Allison does what she says she is going to do! She had figures back to us within a day or two on the adjoining lot, which we decided to sell first. Allison and her husband Scotty went out and took the most beautiful pictures of the lot for us. Scotty has an amazing eye for great angles and shots with his phenomenal camera. Because of this, we had offers within a day or two. By the end of the week, we had decided to accept the highest bid. Unfortunately, the buyer was not very knowledgeable and there were some issues with the surveyor that came out to the house. Allison was right on it and let it be known to the title company and ourselves that she was not happy with the way things were going with the sale of the lot and we were always on the same page with her. We decided to decline the offer and go with the next best offer. Allison was so aggressive in how she handled this for us. She was superbly professional in all aspects of the sale.

"Allison is an extremely hard working professional and is dedicated to her trade. As a business owner and traveler with limited time, I needed somebody to help get the deal done and drive it through to the end without hiccups. If this is what you need in a realtor, then Allison is the only sensible option. Would (and probably will) deal with again."

"Allison has been an absolute pleasure to work with, me and my husband are not from this state or area and I called her for a house that we were interested in and right away she was very helpful and sent me a list of other similar properties to review so we can look at a few to make our drive worthwhile. Whilst looking at properties she was very thorough and answered all our questions in detail and if there was something she was unsure about she would get back to us within hours. Her knowledge about the area was great and she was very honest about everything which I really appreciated. Allison has truly made our move easier than expected, she directed us to the right people when needed she responded to text messages in minutes. Allison helped us with finding local day cares, job for me, home insurance, local power, water and cable services a lot of other stuff too. She is always checking to see if everything is going well with the home. Allison provided us with everything we needed to help us make a decision about the home we were buying. We are very happy with our buy and I will definitely work with Allison again for real estate needs and refer her to my family and friends in near future. Thank you so much for going out of your way to always help us."

"From first contact through closing and beyond, Allison was incredibly responsive, professional, efficient and effective. She responded to my husband's first query regarding one of her listings within 24 hours. She then set up a phone conference with us within a few days to introduce herself, learn more about us and understand what we were looking for in a home. We were moving to Niceville, FL from out of the country and she made the process, even from afar, easy. She was always able to help us and worked with our time/day differences as though we were in Florida with her. She helped recommend local services to make our lives easier and she was really a joy to work with. Her bubbly personality, but sharp intuitiveness make her a great partner in the home buying process. I'm pretty sure she knew which home was the one for us before we did!"

"Allison took the time too understand our needs before showing us any houses. She was very responsive when we had questions or concerns. On time to all showings approximately 30 house before settling on the one. During the the sale Allison was involved throughout the process. Could ask for a better realtor in a very tough market."

"Allison was instrumental in helping us find our perfect home. We were able to see houses as soon as they came on the market and were able to get our offer in first. Allison is extremely knowledgeable about current markets and she "held our hands" throughout the entire pre-closing process and helped make it as painless as possible. I highly recommend her services for any serious home buyer."

She is not a hard sale person which I do not like she will work tirelessly to help you find what you want and in the area. Whenever you are looking at property it can be stressful enough ,you want someone honest and dependable to help you threw the process and to guide you with the positive and the negatives of the property. She's a great person ,hard working and professional all the way.
You can't go wrong with Allison Richards."

"Allison was very professional and friendly in all of meetings. She has a good knowledge of the business. We were not local so the transaction took quite a bit of coordination. When we had a delayed closing communication about the delay was difficult, but we preserved and the closing finally came out well."
