Testimonials

"I cannot recommend Crystal Watkins enough. Having worked with her to sell two homes, I can confidently say she goes beyond the call of duty. My second home sale was coupled with a quick move out of state for me, and she took care of every detail in my absence. From finding reliable repairmen to ensuring every detail is handled for open houses and showings, she makes the entire process seamless and stress-free. Her professionalism, dedication, and expertise are unmatched. I rarely recommend specific services to my friends, but don't hesitate when it comes to Crystal. If you’re looking for a real estate agent who will not only meet but exceed your expectations, she is the only call you need to make."

"Crystal Watkins was unquestionably a Godsend for us. Her knowledge of the neighborhood, the area, and the town was critical to our buyers. She was tireless in her open houses, and even when Hurricanes caused rescheduling, she took it all in stride. One of the most important aspects of Crystal's skill as a Real Estate Agent was her knowledge of our home and her ability to answer any questions a potential buyer would ask. A completely positive person, she always had a smile for our prospective buyers and us! Judy and I would be very pleased to use Crystal again and would recommend her in a Destin Minute! Well done, Crystal!"

"Crystal went above and beyond for me and my home! She is by far the best realtor I have ever worked with! You tell her your goals and dreams for a home, and she finds you the perfect home. Closing on my house could never have happened if it weren't for you, and I am beyond thankful for you."

"Crystal remained steadfast through the entire process of selling our house, which took almost a year! Communication was excellent. She provided updates and contacted other realtors when they failed to answer questions. It's very important to have someone on your side when you are trying to navigate selling your home. Crystal also helped us find a new home for her patience shone as we looked at over 40 houses! Crystal was a definite benefit to anyone looking to buy or sell in Northwest Florida."

"We had the pleasure of working with Crystal Watkins over the past year to sell several properties, and we could not be happier with the experience. From start to finish, Crystal showed outstanding professionalism and provided valuable insights into the local market that helped us make confident decisions. Her knowledge and expertise in the Fort Walton Beach area were clear from our very first meeting. Crystal carefully explained each step of the process, including market trends, and always kept us informed with clear and consistent communication. She was readily available to answer our questions, no matter how small. One of our properties presented some challenges, but Crystal represented us effectively during negotiations and worked hard to secure the best possible outcome. Since we were posted overseas at the time, the closing process could have been very stressful. However, Crystal managed all the details with care and efficiency, making the entire experience smooth and much less overwhelming. Her genuine dedication and support gave us peace of mind throughout. We highly recommend Crystal to anyone buying or selling property. Thank you, Crystal—we look forward to working with you again in the future!"

"Crystal helped me sell a very challenging property. From figuring out the best way to show it to working through a closing that had several different parties and legal issues, Crystal's patience and professionalism made the sale better than I expected when we started. Since that sale, I've used Crystal on two more difficult listings. Her talents for working with complicated real estate transactions are fantastic."

"Due to the nature of my business, I deal with difficult real estate transactions. No one works harder and is more successful with my transactions than Crystal. Plus, Crystal understands and accepts the reality of my situation. That makes everything I do with Crystal go as smoothly as possible."

"Crystal is a professional! She is extremely knowledgeable! Crystal assured that I was protected in my purchase because she knows what to look for. And, she’s able to utilize online sources and gets up to date information. She was extremely quick, writing/submitting offers in her vehicle if necessary. And, she drove 60-90 minutes away on multiple occasions to tour homes, without complaint. Your only mistake would be NOT choosing her as your agent!"

"Crystal was not our agent. We were buying. She represented the sellers. Still, I’d have to say, one of the best real estate agents I’ve ever worked with. Super knowledgeable, clever negotiator, diligent, responsive. My qualifications to give such high praise: real estate litigator, licensed real estate broker in Georgia, active real estate investor, and builder."
