Rarely do I give reviews for products and services but I had to make the exception for Nicole McGowan at Century 21. She is the most responsive, diligent, hard working, sincere, helpful and caring professional I have had the pleasure of working with. She is positively world class.

"I’ve had many agents in my many years of real estate transactions. And none of them has done as much as Nicole to deliver on getting the house ready for the market and sold. My home sold in less than 30 days after being on the market with another agent for over a year. Highly recommend as a selling agent, andI can’t imagine there’s a better agent to help you buy as well."

Nicole McGowan is a phenomenal human being and realtor! She was the agent responsible for selling my Mom's home and she did an outstanding job as she handled the sale with tenacity , professionalism , and efficiency. Even though she had many obstacles to over come, everything from one seller living on the other side of the country, to being a double agent as the buyers didn't have an agent because they too were out of state. That's alone was impressive because a good agent always looks out for the best interest of their client but in this case her client was both the seller and the buyer ! She did a fantastic job juggling the two with fairness and absolute grace. It was an absolute pleasure working with her and I will be calling upon her in the near future for my own home !

I had expected a lengthy difficult transaction, because I live about 5,000 miles from the property. But I was surprised by how friendly and efficient Nicole was, from the scary initial cold call to the ease of signing the closing documents. Nicole's professionalism and efficiency turned a long distance complex real estate transaction into a simple and smooth electronic paperwork transaction. In fact the hardest part of the entire process was waiting for the notary to sign the closing documents.

I can’t say enough great things about working with Nicole, hands down the top real estate agent we've found in Fort Walton Beach. As a military family relocating to the area, we needed someone who truly understood the market, the VA loan process, and how to help us navigate everything remotely. Nicole was incredibly responsive, patient, and strategic—she helped us get the perfect home in a competitive market. Her knowledge of VA buyer-friendly homes in Okaloosa County and the surrounding neighborhoods like Navarre and Crestview really made us feel confident. She gave us honest advice, negotiated like a pro, and never made us feel pressured. If you're looking to buy a home near Eglin Air Force Base or anywhere in the Fort Walton Beach area, I highly recommend Nicole. She genuinely cares, and you can tell she works hard for her clients. So grateful we found her!

Still on the home search journey, but I had to share already—Nicole is hands down the best real estate agent in Fort Walton Beach! I’m looking for a home in Navarre and working with her has been such a relief. She's incredibly patient, explains everything clearly, and always makes sure I feel confident in each step. She's quick to catch details I would’ve missed and genuinely listens to what matters most to me. If you're military or just need someone who actually cares, she's your girl. I can’t wait to close with her by my side!

Nicole McGowan is one of the most talented, dynamic and hardworking women I have met since moving to this area! She goes above and beyond in every situation to get done what needs to be done. Having her in my corner has been one of the best experiences and I will definitely be continuing to look for her guidance in the future!

Nicole couldn’t be a more knowledgeable person! She answers any questions I may have and efficient with time. She has been an awesome person to work with. I couldn’t recommend her more!!

Nicole is very personable. I have known her through several customer service businesses. She is knowledgeable, hard-working, and compassionate. She definitely knows the area as she has been here for many years. I encourage you to allow Nicole to show you the Hidden Treasures of the Emerald Coast. You're sure to be pleased.

I don’t usually write reviews, but I absolutely had to take the time to shout out the best real estate agent in Fort Walton Beach — Nicole McGowan. Although I didn’t use Nicole as my buying agent when I purchased my home, I truly wish I had. She gave me advice throughout the process that ended up being incredibly valuable — more so than what I got from the agent I was actually working with. For example, she mentioned how important it is to have the water turned on during an inspection, which unfortunately wasn’t done in my case. After closing, I discovered major plumbing issues that could’ve been avoided if I’d followed her advice or had someone as thorough and detail-oriented as she is. Beyond that, Nicole has helped me in many ways — from offering insights about probate and inherited property, to guiding me on how to build my credit so I can invest in real estate. She’s also shared practical tips on home maintenance. What I respect most is her work ethic. I’ve seen firsthand how hard she works for her clients and how deeply she cares about making sure they’re protected and informed every step of the way. She truly goes above and beyond, whether she’s your agent or just someone giving friendly advice. If you're looking for someone knowledgeable, dedicated, and truly has your best interests at heart, you will not find a better choice than Nicole.

Ms. Nicole, was very professional, hard-working, trust-worthy, and very informative. She was an absolute delight to work with. I told her exactly what kind of home I was looking for, the areas I was interested in, as well as the price range. She kept me posted and up-to-date. She is truly knowledgeable and a people's person. I highly recommend Ms. Nicole for anyone looking for your next home or investment.

We had the pleasure of working with Nicole, a realtor in the Pensacola area, and she made the entire process effortless. She provided multiple detailed photos of the home, which helped us prepare and deliver the best service possible. Communication with her was excellent—she responded quickly to any questions we had and was clearly attentive to both the homeowners and the properties she represents. You can tell she truly cares about every listing under her name. Highly recommend working with her!
