30A Real Estate Agents – The Richards Group

Our Testimonials

"From the buy side, I would sum up TRG in three ways: (1) Knowledgeable - They have been working the 30A area for a long time and they know the neighborhoods, streets, builders, communities, service providers, etc. As a new buyer to the area with lots of questions, there was nothing they could not answer; (2) Strategic - They know how to position an offer, negotiate it and get all parties on the same page. Their win-win approach is the way to do it; And (3) Masters of Execution - from offer acceptance to close they were on top of EVERYTHING. There were no details missed and the communication with us and with the sell side was phenomenal. Seriously, we've worked with buy side teams before and always felt like we had to drive the process. Not with TRG. They were always one step ahead. Strong recommendation from us!"

Todd R.

"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."

Tanay & Vincent C.

"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."

"Allison, Scotty, Maddie and the entire team at The Richards Group gave exceptional service with selling our condo from 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 walkthroughs, 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 are again for our next investment!"

"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."

Adam C.

"Allison and her team provided superb service and advice. I couldn’t recommend her enough to someone looking to do a real estate transaction on 30A. From the first call to weeks after closing, she’s attentive, detail-oriented, and truly provides a white-glove experience to her clients."

Ryan B.

"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 recommended!"

Lucy W.

"We had an outstanding experience with The Richards Group — especially Allison! From the very first meeting to closing day was under two months, which exceeded our expectations. She sold our home in record time, generated multiple offers, and ultimately helped us secure exactly what we were hoping for. Allison’s communication throughout the entire process was exceptional. She kept us informed at every step, was always responsive, and made what can be a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. Her professionalism, market knowledge, and strategic approach truly made the difference. If you’re looking for a team that delivers results and an agent who genuinely cares, I highly recommend Allison and The Richards Group!"

Joe I.

"We purchased from The Richards Group in April. Allison was very helpful and responsive while we were considering the purchase and during the offer process. After the offer acceptance, Scotty was a “game changer” in how he worked with us to coordinate the inspections and fixes we decided to make. Being out of state buyers, working with Scotty brought a tremendous peace of mind to us from his competence and timely, quality communications."

"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!"

"We were so fortunate that Allison Richards was referred to us. She was professional, thorough, knowledgeable and caring. It was so helpful to have her throughout the entire process, especially since we are not locals and had to sell our house from another State. Would HIGHLY recommend the Richards Group!"

Kris M.

"This is our second property to list/sell with the Richards group. Both transactions went very smoothly from start to finish. We would highly recommend using Allison and her team if you’re looking to list or buy a property."

Misty K.

"Scotty and The Richard’s group were fantastic. Scotty went above and beyond answering questions, gathering information, helping us find rental management agencies, homeowner insurance carriers, repairmen, pest control, etc. He left no stone unturned. Scotty was ALWAYS available and extremely responsive. Probably the most pleasurable real estate transactions I’ve ever been involved in. 6 Star Service!!"

Timothy P.

"Allison and her team helped us sell two properties near Grayton Beach. Their expertise on the local market was invaluable, and we were under contract (with backup offers) in short order. The management of the closing process was as smooth as glass! Great job! "

Mike W.

"We have been very impressed with the work of Allison Richards. She and her team have made selling our properties and the whole process easy and fast. Would 100% recommend."

Jacquelyn C.

"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."

John H.

"Great service! They stayed on top of everything at every step of our home purchase. This was a long-distance purchase. They managed all of the requisite tasks, kept us informed and made the whole process seamless. They were super in every way. I highly recommend The Richards Group!"

Stephen H.

"I have worked with Allison and Scotty for 3 transactions now and each time they go above and beyond whether buying or selling. From the very beginning they make sure we are informed and provide clear information and guidance to help when decisions need to be made. I wouldn’t use anyone else and am so grateful for all they have done for our family."

Jessica Sanchez

"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!"

Bryan Cook

"My wife and I worked with The Richards Group on a 1031 exchange purchase in Seacrest Beach, FL. They were so prompt and professional throughout the whole process. They always had the answer or knew who to ask and were very knowledgeable about the area, resources and contacts. I would wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone."

David Williamson

"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."

Renee Bleakley Crone

"This was the second time I have worked with Allison. She and her firm were awesome in first buying and then selling my home. I appreciate the candor and follow through. Highly recommend it !"

Rosemary Littles

"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."

"I would give The Richard’s Group 10 ⭐️ s if I could! Allison and Scotty are absolutely amazing. We just completed our third home purchase through them and I would recommend them to anyone wanting truly competent agents who will assist from the beginning until the end! And with Allison and Scotty the relationship doesn’t ever actually ‘end’ because they will always be there to help with all of your real estate needs. They are a true, honest partnership through and through. The absolute BEST!!"

Angela Veazey

"The Richards Group has been an incredible partner throughout our real estate investment journey, guiding us seamlessly through our fourth transaction. Their expertise, professionalism, and dedication made the process smooth and stress-free. We couldn't have asked for better support!"

Jarell Mikell

"We had the absolute best experience working with Scotty Lisenbe and The Richards Group in purchasing a new home in Santa Rosa Beach. Scotty worked tirelessly to set up the 14 homes we wanted to view with short notice, and his follow up skills were impeccable. He went above and beyond to provide high touch service and was always available to advise and answer any questions we had. A top notch experience and we will definitely be using Scotty for our next home purchase. 10/10 recommend! "

Jen Zebley

"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."

Buyer

"Allison went above and beyond her duties as our agent in finding us the home we wanted and needed she was very friendly and answered any and all questions we may have had on the homes during our search. Not only is Allison a great real estate agent, she is a genuine, sincere person that had our best interest in mind throughout our search. We love our new home and could not thank Allison enough for her hard work! I highly recommend Allison for anyone looking to buy or sell their home! We love her."

Lynn Casasanta

"Allison got us the house we wanted and in a quick deadline; We needed a home and quickly. She went above and beyond for us and worked for us while we still lived in NC, making the move from NC to FL stress free. She was extremely dedicated to us and anytime I needed her, she was there. I highly recommend Allison Richards to anyone looking for homes in the area."

Yarbrough Kathryn

"Allison is awesome! She goes above and beyond to make sure things get done. She was extremely helpful in making our first home purchase a stress free experience. We plan to use her assistance when we purchase our next home."

Buyer

"Allison is an outstanding realtor who will go above and beyond for you in your house search. She greatly reduced the stress of moving to a new area and was right beside us every step of the way while looking at houses. In addition, Allison handled many housing responsibilities beyond her job description by scheduling lawn care and house cleaning services for our new house prior to our move in date while we were in process of moving from another state. If you are looking at purchasing a house in the Niceville/Destin/Ft. Walton Beach area, Allison should be your first pick!"

Michael Peeples

"Allison is a personable agent with tremendous patience for hard-to-please buyers/clients. She is well-versed in the housing market and answered most of our questions right away (and we had lots of questions). Anything she doesn't know, she done due diligent research and response back to us promptly. Additionally, we were frustrated with the loan process and Allison put us in touch with an experience lender who was able to explain and step us through the confusion process. In short, we were impressed with her professionalism. Her strong network of experts provided us a positive home-buying experience. We highly recommend her to our families and friends."

Glenn

"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."

Anya Ulbrich

"Allison was responsive and got to really understand what family needed in a home. She also helped us focus on exactly what we what out of a house in the area we wanted to be in. Allison was great at keeping us up to date on the market and throughout the purchase process and closing. Great communication skills! I felt that she was on our side throughout the whole process, not just trying to sale a house. I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy in Niceville and the surrounding area!"
