What Our Clients Say... |

Bert & Cathie, Fort Walton Beach, Florida |

Thank you Sharon and Tom for the extra-special job you did for us in helping us to buy our dream retirement home. It was a long hard battle because you had to first deal with a developer that was not easy to deal with and then a bank that was possibly less accommodating. But because of your superior knowledge of real estate procedures and the market; as well as your strong determination to make it happen; we finally closed at our price. You had to work around our long delayed closing of our previous property, which made it even more difficult and time consuming. All in all, one of the most professional and pleasant experiences we have had in our real estate journey. Can’t thank you enough and highly recommend you to anyone interested in the local real estate market. | ||

We knew straight away upon meeting Tom that failure to find us our dream home was not an option!
He has a very approachable manner and is extremely enthusiastic and willing, at the same time offering experienced advise and a no nonsense approach. Exactly the combination we needed at this eventful and personal stage in our lives.
Sharon is very knowledgable and professional and made the closing of the house, and all that was concerned with it, transition very smoothly. I knew deadlines were always under control and there was not a question that she could not answer for us.
It was a pleasure to meet both Tom and Sharon and as a team they work extremely well together. They're patient and handle any obstacles in a very positive way. They offer an eclectic mix of skills, which in turn delivers a successful result.

Sharon has in depth knowledge of the Condo Market on Okaloosa Island and a huge list of contacts in the area. Our process started with emails of condos fitting our criteria, then showings of properties. She was very patient through this process that lasted over a year before we found the condo we fell in love with. During closing, she touched base with us every day, giving us updates, progress reports, as well as accurate guidance on things we should and should not do. She turned the dreaded "closing" into a walk in the park. Our contract had some electrical repair issues that we had to deal with from out of state. Sharon went above and beyond helping us through this matter. She actually got the bids for the repairs, and let the electrician in and monitored his work. We feel she is more than just our real estate agent, she has become our friend as well. I would highly recommend Sharon to anyone in the area looking for a real estate agent. | ||
Sherlock and April, Fort Walton Beach, Florida |

We recently purchased our 1st home! We are SO THANKFUL we had Tom to help us...it would've been too overwhelming due to our schedules and new baby..but we simply told him what we were looking for and he went above and beyond to find just the perfect home for our little family! (and he worked with our crazy opposite schedules) He was absolutely terrific and friendly and professional. Every question we had was answered and every document we signed he put on CD as well for the 'file in the safe' and we absolutely LOVE our new home!! It's like it was built for us!! Thank you Tom for your dedication to finding it for us!!! | ||
Carl & Linda, Fort Walton Beach, Florida |

Sharon is a very detailed and thorough real estate agent. She knows the area well and has great contacts in this industry. She is honest and puts you and your family's needs first. My husband and I were naïve to the whole home buying process and what we needed to do to become homeowners. Sharon constantly touched base with us and gave us pointers on how to raise our credit score or maintain what we already had. It took us 3 attempts at this and Sharon never waivered in her assistance. | ||

Realtors Tom and Sharon helped make our dream of owning our own home come true! | ||
Don, Noj & Louise, Fort Walton Beach, Florida |

I knew right from the start Tom was going to be a good fit for my family during the purchase of our new waterfront home. Tom's no-nonsense approach and open honesty was a great fit in working with an extremely difficult seller. We were never left questioning what step came next while we approached our closing. His hard work was quite evident in the late night emails I received when paperwork had to meet very short deadlines. I can wholeheartedly recommend Tom for the purchase of your next home. | ||
Erin & Glenn, Fort Walton Beach, Florida |

Sharon McAuliffe is a very warm and friendly real-estate agent. She knew a lot abut the area and showed us around on two separate occasions. On the first day, the system that controls the lock boxes went down, and we were only able to see homes which had residents in them, some of them in pretty bad shape. Despite this difficulty, Sharon's patience persisted, and we were able to determine some things that I did NOT want in a home. We proceeded with the home search the next afternoon and found the home we are living in today!
I would recommend Sharon if you are looking for a home in the Northwest Florida area. She helped us through the process and we met all deadlines, and closed in 30 days. We are very pleased with the results produced!

Happening upon Tom McAuliffe from Keller Williams during an open house was the single most important event in our road to new home ownership! Tom never pressured us once. His professional advice, relaxed attitude and proactive nature as our realtor allowed us to find, negotiate and close on the house of our dreams quickly and on time! Tom and Sharon were at our beck and call for all things in relation to our home purchase. They took care of ALL the paperwork, followed up with timely emails, phone calls and personal touches to ensure nothing fell through the cracks. As an active duty Air Force member, Tom and Sharon allowed me to focus on my job and family while they took care of all the behind the scenes items like scheduling an inspection, appraisal, negotiations, lender/title company referrals, etc. Tom and Sharon put a personal touch on our home buying experience that made the transition smooth and enjoyable. There is no question that Tom and Sharon are some of the best agents in the area. I would highly recommend them to anyone wanting to upgrade, relocate, purchase or sell land, a home or condo on the Emerald Coast! |

To Anyone Considering Buying or Selling A Home, We highly recommend you have the professional team at Next Stop Paradise help you with your move. From the moment we first contacted Next Stop Paradise Sharon answered emails and phone calls immediately, helping us sort through all the listings. When we got to Fort Walton Beach Tom showed us the condos we were interested in, plus great restaurants! They then covered all the hard work that comes with purchasing a home, while we went back to Ohio knowing we were in good hands. Three weeks later we were the proud new owners of a condo on Fort Walton Beach! Thank you so much, Tom and Sharon, for helping us realize our dream! |

When my wife and I decided to get a beach condominium, we had no idea how to start the process. It was the perfect time to buy, as the market was flooded with lots of foreclosure properties. However, getting information on the properties was not easy. Our searches on the Internet did not provide the information we needed. Fortunately, we contacted Tom and Sharon McAuliffe at Keller Williams Realty. Tom’s first question was “What was our Dream House?” We had some specific requirements: close to the beach, ocean view and cheap. Tom and Sharon immediately took our information and collected all the properties that matched our criteria on the Emerald Coast. They helped us on the Condo selection then the battle through the mayhem of bureaucracy of loan approvals, insurance and other items. Today, we're the happy owners of our Dream Condo. Thank you Tom and Sharon, you really honor your profession. Realtors like you are needed to make people’s dreams become a reality! |
