In Their Words

What Clients Say

I have owned and sold rental properties in Destin since 1996. This was by far the quickest and easiest sale. Josh listened to my concerns as the owner of the rental property and ensured the sale was able to protect my upcoming guests and provide me with the peace of mind I needed. In under two weeks from the listing, I had a buyer and closing was another three weeks from that. Josh is professional and helpful in all aspects of the transaction.
M.A. | DestinSeller
There were 11 active listings in my neighborhood the week we went on the market. The market was at a peak and my confidence — honestly, my greed — was at one with it. A full-price offer came in. I declined, countered with terms that weren't reasonable, and blew the deal up myself. Josh took it in stride. Called the strongest agents in the area, sparked the right conversations, and had us back under contract within three days.
T.M. | SeagroveSeller
One cold call is all it took. Parting ways with our Penthouse never crossed our minds. The way Josh presented himself, his insight, data analysis and plan of action truly put us at ease. He ended up setting an All Time High Sale for our building. There are 1000's of agents in this area but we'd bet that only a few have as high of performance standards as Josh.
N.B. & B.B. | DestinSeller
Josh, thank you so much for all of your help with the sale of our condo which all of the family loved so much! Having been the only owner, it has always meant so much to us but years go by and things get harder to manage. We will always remember our times there. We appreciate you keeping us informed of everything happening during the sale. I was always able to get to you with my questions and you always responded promptly. That is so important especially when the owner does not live locally. Thank you again & keep up your good work!
J.W. | Blue Mountain BeachSeller
I was set on a gulf-front unit but didn't want to overpay — the price would have set a historical high for the building. Josh circle-dialed every surrounding owner and pulled the intel I needed to move with confidence. In the process he uncovered an off-market deal closing next door at $200K higher on a like-kind unit. We closed the same day they did. I walked into instant equity.
J.A. | Blue Mountain BeachBuyer
Josh was able translate my wants and needs for my next investment property and put us on an off market unit. He not only called the owner and planted the seed to sell but he comprised a strategy to get a non performing tenant out within 30 days. Everyone involved was amazed at the magic he worked. I'll never use another Realtor on the Emerald Coast!
T.M. | Miramar BeachBuyer
I wanted three lots behind my shop on a prominent corner in PCB. Two of them sat with a neighbor I'd butted heads with for years. The third was inside an LLC — Josh traced it back to a state-level politician and worked him into selling. None of the owners were going to take a number that didn't make sense and I wasn't going to overpay. Two sellers, three lots, three different problems. Josh had all three under contract in seven days and closed them in twenty-one.
S.G. | Panama City BeachBuyer
A gulf-front unit went coming-soon in our community where units rarely turn over. Josh started calling owners in the back buildings, asking if they'd ever considered moving gulf-front. That's how he found me. By the time we wrote the offer, we were in a multiple-offer situation against a financed buyer who came in much higher. I had the cash, but no way was I going to that number! Josh sent the listing agent a full appraiser-style analysis — comps, market, the read on where the building was going — and made the case that we'd be the easiest closing of their year. They took our offer - no counters. It set a high for the community at the time and the market kept climbing from there.
D.C. | Blue Mountain BeachBuyer
Having Josh Parish represent our listing was an amazing experience. Not only did he command the price that we wanted, he protected us from all the flack that you'd hear about accompanying a real estate deal. We honestly had no clue the purchasing party & their representing agent was such a pain because he simply took ownership of the situation and never let us know the other side was acting crazy. We love Josh and will recommend him whenever we can! 10/10 Thank you again!

Great agent to work with! He knows his area and knows how to work with people. Would highly recommend using Josh. As an agent myself, I was very impressed with his services.
