Buyer of 204 McKinley St, Niceville
Vicki provided an outstanding experience from start to finish. Their market knowledge, clear communication, and sharp negotiation skills made the entire process seamless and stress-free. They were always responsive, professional, and genuinely dedicated to getting the best possible outcome. I couldn't be happier with the results and highly recommend Vicki to anyone buying a home
Buyer of 6199 Lake Ella Road, Crestview
At each stage of our lives, Vicki has helped us find the right house for us (three times!), starting in Niceville, then Crestview, and now in the northeastern countryside of Okaloosa County with a house on forty acres. Like many folks, we endlessly surfed Internet-based real estate tools to identify possibilities and then asked Vicki to turn those "bits" into visits. More than once, we started down the path to make an offer and when we changed our minds, she was right there encouraging us to keep on looking. Two months ago when we found a place that seemed just right, but in the end the seller declined our final offer; we took it as a sign that it just wasn't the right place. About five weeks ago we found the right place after all and Vicki helped us negotiate the right offer and she helped us through all the inspections; we closed a week ago. Finally, in a couple of months we hope that Vicki will help us sell this house in Crestview after we move into the country house by the pond. We needed a lot more help with the first house than with this last house and Vicki has been there helping wherever and whenever we need it. Let her help you. You won't regret it.
Seller of 314 Ruckel Dr, Niceville
We were trying to sell our house fairly quickly and Vicki helped us pinpoint all the things that were necessary to do with the house that would make a difference and those that would not, which sometimes are not that intuitive. She also helped deal with the other realtors and negotiate very well with our best interest in mind what would help sell the house at our price point with as little headache in fixing minor problems with the house. As problems arose, she was able to address them quickly and without much headache. Once the house was under contract, everything went smoothly and quickly and she verified that we got everything that we needed. 10/10 would definitely recommend her for both buying and selling.

Kimberly Hancock

Seller of 4440 South Antioch Road, Crestview
I worked with Kim on the sale of my home. Kim understood my emotional attachment to my home and was always very understanding and caring when explaining how to make my home more presentable for sale (she even painted a room). I balked at some of her suggestions initially (such as removing custom curtains for a cleaner look), but after considering her market knowledge, I did agree with her suggestions and allowed her to make those changes. She was right of course, the house did look more "market ready". I was initially concerned (when I placed the house on the market) about how often I would have to visit my home to keep the yard in order, clean between showings, do routine dusting, etc. but Kim told me not to worry. She kept the home clean, kept the porches blown off, kept the flower beds weeded, and took care of so many extra details which was so helpful to me. Selling a home is a stressful experience, but when you are working with an agent like Kim, you are in such capable hands that the stress is significantly reduced. Kim communicated with me after every showing, open house, realtor walk throughs, etc. I found Kim to be exceptional in every way. She has such a great attention to detail, she is honest, caring, and very professional. She cared about my house. She cared about my feelings about selling it. She cared about everything! She knew what type of buyer I was praying for and she prayed for that type of family too. Our prayers were answered exactly. During the negotiations, she walked me through all of my options and explained everything in detail. The sale ended up proceeding quickly and to the satisfaction of me and the buyers. I will never be able to thank her enough for how she took care of me while selling my beautiful home.

Mark Pepper
Broker | Licensed Real Estate Agent

Sold (as lead agent)
Properties for sale
Buyer of 196 Ridgeway Circle, Crestview
Mark made purchasing a house extremely easy for my wife and I. This was our first home and I was deployed the entire time, but Mark handled everything. He was very timely and attentive in his responses. He scheduled the inspection for us, did a live video walkthrough for us, and maintained clear communication between us as the buyers and those selling. Overall, I would highly recommend choosing Mark as your realtor. He’s extremely flexible and knows what he’s doing.
Buyer of Unit 9/100 Beach Drive, Destin
It did not matter what time of the day or night, Mark was completely locked on to making my home-buying experience stress-free and easy. He would never hesitate to clarify nebulous laws / regulations, provide experience-driven market insights, and offer objective analysis for any decision point. Bottom Line: I absolutely recommend Mark Pepper to anyone looking to buy a home.
Buyer of 38 Redbird Loop, Destin
I can’t say enough great things about Mark and the way he handled my home-buying process from start to finish. From day one, he listened to my needs and priorities and used them to find homes that actually made sense for what I was looking for. Mark consistently went out of his way to research properties, dig into details, and point out things I would have never noticed on my own. His knowledge and insight were invaluable, and he provided honest, thoughtful input at every step of the process. He always made time to talk things through and explain everything clearly. What really sets Mark apart is that he’s not just trying to sell houses. He genuinely cares about making sure his clients are getting what they’re paying for and that there are no hidden issues. At one point, we had an offer accepted on a house, but the inspection revealed several serious problems. Mark was completely upfront, helped me get out of the deal, and was honest in telling me that the house wasn’t right for my goals. Because of Mark, I felt informed, protected, and confident throughout the entire process. If you’re looking for a real estate agent who is knowledgeable, ethical, responsive, and truly has your best interests at heart, I couldn’t recommend him more highly.

Buyer of 112C/1530 Miracle Strip Parkway Southeast, Fort Walton Beach
We were referred to Melinda by 3 other clients that used her in the complex that we were wanting to buy a condo in. I was a little nervous because we had never met Melinda. From the first phone call of us introducing ourselves and telling her what property we were interested in, Melinda was over the top with her communication skills, willingness to get us to the closing, doing whatever she could to make it happen and in a short amount of time. Even the secretaries in the complex we are buying in raved that she was #1 in what she does and loved working with her. Her knowledge of the property and surrounding area made us feel so calm throughout the process. She responded by text immediately. We honestly could not have asked for a better agent to make this long distance purchase. We would recommend her a thousand times over! Thank you Melinda for EVERYTHING!
