Florida Panhandle real estate brokerage serving in the Destin, Pensacola, Navarre, and surrounding areas
You’re not just a client to us– you’re part of our community and we care about making sure you feel welcome and supported at every step. With special expertise in relocating military families and helping first-time homebuyers, we’ve helped hundreds of clients make the move to Florida.
Real estate is about building real relationships.
With the right guidance (enter, us), buying & selling can fun and even exciting.
When people first start the house search or set out to sell their house, they can feel overwhelmed by all the details. What I love seeing is the stress fall away when we take on a new client and guide them through every step, from start to finish. We truly don’t rest until you feel that you’ve found The One (your dream house) or get the best market rate for your home.
Real estate is all about relationships. It’s why I do what I do. As your realtor, I promise I’ll be there for you every step of the way and have your back no matter what. I’ll listen to your dreams, find properties that align with what you’re looking for, go on walkthroughs, answer the phone when you ring, and support you through the negotiation. I’m here for you. Your happiness is important to me, and you’ll feel incredibly supported throughout the process.
In 2016, I uprooted my life from Michigan to Florida, and for the past seven years, I’ve helped military families, first-time buyers, and sellers navigate real estate with ease. What I love about the process is helping people find homes they truly love, whether it’s their forever home or their dwelling for the next few years.
Hi, I’m Victoria Aaron, and I believe buying or selling a home should be as simple as possible. My team and I will have your back every step of the way.

CERTIFIED MILITARY RELOCATION PROFESSIONAL
Military Relocation
Brittney Cox
“Victoria is absolutely amazing! Seriously, I cannot say enough kind words about this woman! We were so nervous about being first time home buyers in general, then you add the stress of being distance buyers on top of that, whew! But Victoria made everything so easy. She virtually held our hands every step of the way and was always so accommodating to our multiple questions and calls despite any time difference that stood between us. Our home is perfect, and we are in love. I’d recommend her to anyone and everyone!”
Military Relocation
Ashley Johnson
“My husband and I had an amazing experience with Victoria as our realtor. She essentially did everything virtually for us as we are military moving from across the country and were unable to visit the property prior to our move.
Excellent & honest communication, great photos/videos. She helped to calm our nerves with buying a home prior to even seeing it! She also recommended a great lender in the area.”
Buyer
Quila Cox
“Victoria helped me purchase my first home which was a scary process to do alone, but she was helpful and in top of everything I needed. She genuinely cares, and will find you what you’re looking for. She’s helped my daughter purchase 2 homes also. Highly recommended.”
Besides my certifications as a Military Relocation Professional, Real Estate Negotiation Expert, and Real Estate Team Specialist, I know the Panhandle front to back. No matter where you’re moving to or even if you’ve never been here, I’ll advise you on everything from neighborhoods to school districts to commutes.

Common Questions & Answers
To get pre-approved, you'll need to connect with a trusted lender who will assess your financial situation. Don’t worry– we have several pros we recommend to help you with this! You’ll share documentation for things like income verification, credit history, and assets. They'll then determine the loan amount you qualify for, giving you a clearer picture of your budget.
Negotiating an offer requires a delicate balance of strategy and communication. We'll work closely with you to craft a compelling offer that aligns with your budget and the market conditions. We'll take into account factors like the home's value, recent sales in the area, and the seller's motivation. Our goal is to secure the best possible deal while ensuring a smooth and respectful negotiation process.
Congratulations! Once your offer is accepted, the real excitement begins. We'll guide you through the next steps, including scheduling inspections, securing financing, and finalizing the paperwork. We'll be there to answer any questions and address any concerns that arise, ensuring a seamless transition to closing day.
Closing costs are fees associated with finalizing your home purchase. They can include expenses like loan origination fees, title insurance, appraisal fees, and escrow fees. We'll provide you with a detailed breakdown of these costs upfront, so you're fully prepared and informed.
The selling process can feel overwhelming, but we'll break it down into manageable steps, from listing to closing. We'll start by evaluating your home, setting a competitive price, and crafting a compelling marketing strategy. We'll handle showings, negotiations, and paperwork, guiding you seamlessly through each phase.
Determining your home's worth involves looking at your home’s sizes, location, condition, and recent sales of comparable nearby properties. This helps us come up with a detailed valuation that helps you price your home competitively and maximize your return.
We'll assess your home's condition and recommend any repairs or upgrades that could enhance its appeal and value. Our goal is to present your home in the best possible light, attracting potential buyers and securing a swift sale. We also recommend home staging to help potential buyers imagine themselves in your space.
Preparing your home for showings involves decluttering and creating a welcoming atmosphere. We'll provide you with expert staging tips and guidance, ensuring your home shines during viewings and leaves a lasting impression on buyers.
Short answer– it depends! The time it takes to sell varies depending on market conditions, price, and more. Don’t worry, though– We'll work hard to market your property effectively and attract qualified buyers.
