Justin Endsley

Agent | License ID: 3381553

Justin Endsley was born and raised in Columbus, Ohio where he attended Franklin University and enjoyed a successful career in finance and accounting.  While visiting Destin, Florida for the first time with his wife in 2003, he was awestruck with the area.  The beaches, restaurants, shopping, and people were magnetic.  It didn't feel like just a vacation.  It felt like home and they had to keep coming back for more.  When the circumstances were right for Justin and his wife to relocate, they packed up and moved to the Emerald Coast where they could finally call it their permanent home.  This is where his start in real estate bagan.
 
With a background in accounting, the numbers involved in the real estate market were intriguing.  He regularly checked into property values and interest rates, and the investment potential around the Emerald Coast moved him to dive in.  He quickly found out that along with the numbers, he thoroughly enjoyed all the other aspects as well including staging, marketing, and negotiating.  Justin had found his calling.  His first taste of real estate included listing his own home and having it under contract in one day with a full price offer.  At that point, he decided he would pursue real estate full-time.  That proved to be a wise decision as Justin was able to sell over $255 million of real estate in his first eight years.  
 
While Justin enjoyed his time in the finance world, a desk job just doesn't compare to the beauty of real estate in Northwest Florida.  Every week, your "office" consists of miles of blue-green waters and white sugar sand beaches that are hard to compete with.  Besides stunning views, building relationships with great people and helping others fulfill their coastal dreams has been beyond satisfying for Justin.  He looks forward to continued success, both for himself and his customers.

Blake Holley

Agent/Executive Assistant | License ID: 3340429

+1(850) 543-1252 blake@gulfrealty30a.com

Blake was born in Miami and raised in Northern Georgia but has been visiting the Emerald Coast since she was 10 spending time with local family members. On a family trip in 2004 her father, who works in construction, saw the need for developers in the area and found it was time for the family to make Florida their home once again.

Blake spent a lot of time exploring her new home, enjoying the squeaky white sand on the beach, meeting new and exciting people every spring and summer, discovering new activities like deep sea fishing, surfing, weekend boating with friends and everything else the Emerald Coast had to offer.
Blake had the opportunity to work for a large international company as a sales associate and intermediate level trainer where she was able to realize her love for helping others and marketing strategy. She went on to become the Director of Operations for a now very successful rental management company which gave her insight on the needs of many investment property owners. Then, in 2010 while trying to decide between following her passion for Interior Design or Event Planning, a close family member was in desperate need of someone to manage their busy office and Blake offered to help. This family member was a successful Real Estate Agent in the area and took Blake under their wing teaching her the ropes. Blake’s family has always been involved with Real Estate to some degree whether it be new construction, rental management or project development so the training process didn’t last long.
Blake went from being a part time “Paper Pusher” to a full time Realtor’s Administrative Assistant in less than 6 months due to her attention to detail, thorough research and knack for marketing. Blake knew that the only next step would be to get her Real Estate License and further her career. In 2015 she did just that and has been using her skills of market research and customer service to help others meet their Real Estate needs ever since.

 

“I’ll be honest, balancing my life as a mother, wife, Realtor and volunteering locally can be really hectic. But, with the loving support of my family and the amazing people I have had the privilege of working with, I couldn’t ask for better. Oh, and I get to see the most beautiful homes the Emerald Coast has to offer! Who wouldn’t love that?” - Blake

  • Alyssa Shephard

    Julie was our agent for the purchase of our new home and we can't say enough good things about her. She is extremely friendly, professional, and responsive. Our transaction went so smoothly and that was in large part to Julie's hard work and attention to detail. I couldn't recommend her enough.
  • Debra Thibodeau

    Julie was absolutely the best! She went way beyond our expectations! She answered every question that we had, no matter the time nor the day. She’s a very genuine honest person. We had every confidence that she would get our home sold. Give her a call!
  • Carla Dahlquist

    Julie was amazing from start to finish and even after the sale. We are not from Destin so we had no local knowledge. Julie helped sort through multiple areas with her expertise! She was super honest when previewing homes for us. Her videoing skills are awesome! She saved us a ton of travel by sending us videos going in, through out, walk to the beach, and anything else we needed. We will 100% use her again!
  • Jeff & Jennifer Robison

    Julie was great! She was patient as our initial search grew to over 1.5 hours away from where we started looking, two trips where we didn't like the houses, and finally finding us our perfect beach house! Julie also negotiated in a sellers market and got us a significant reduction on the price if the home. We could not recommend Julie enough.
  • Melissa Rodgers

    Julie did an outstanding job helping us to find and close on a condo. She is extremely knowledgeable about the area as well as what to look for when considering a property to put on the rental market. She is patient and attentive making the entire process a breeze. We will absolutely choose Julie for any future real estate transactions and will recommend her to anyone in need of an agent in this market.

    Julie was such a pleasure to work with. She is very professional and extremely efficient. We look forward to working with her in the future. I highly recommend her to make your home buying/selling process a positive experience.
  • Brooks Wells

    We are grateful our paths crossed with Julie. We had limited knowledge of the 30a real estate scene and within four days, we went into contract on our dream condo that had four other offers. Blend her style of being a great listener and very client focused with her knowledge/experience in the market, there's no wonder she exceeded our expectations. She's an end to end real estate professional that we highly recommend.
  • Andy & Julie Hailey

    Julie is absolutely phenomenal in every sense! She is exceptionally knowledgeable, diligent, hard working and professional. We were very intimidated about buying a property from afar and she made the process much more smooth and comfortable than we could have imagined. I was constantly amazed at the depth of Julie's knowledge about the local market and all that goes into buying a vacation condo. She was able to answer any question and tackle any obstacle that came our way. She was all of these things while also being exceptionally kind and friendly. We feel extremely blessed to have met Julie and had her to help us on our journey toward buying a little piece of paradise. We could not recommend her any higher!!
  • Lauren Cerulli

    Justin was the BEST real estate agent that we've worked with! He is extremely knowledgeable about the local area and the ever-changing market conditions. Communication was superb. He went above and beyond to facilitate our transaction and for that we're extremely grateful.
  • Ron Decanio

    Justin was amazing! Knowledgeable about the area, moved fast for us as we are quick to make decisions. We bought sight unseen and he handled it all.... no questions asked. If you are looking for an agent to take you to “sold” ASAP.... he’s the one for you. We look forward to have another transaction with him in the near future!
  • Victor Martin

    Easy to deal with. He has good ideas for various situations that arise during the process. Good knowledge base, but never hesitated to tell me when he did not know the answer....and always came back later with the info needed. We would use him again without hesitation.
  • Michael Trader

    Justin is a professional in the Real Estate field. He is very hard working and a personality that is wonderful to help guide and provide prospective on any given situation. He is dependable and works long hours to put together the important documents. I will definitely refer him to friends and use him in the future.
