Years in sales
Manatee County native
Seven miles of barrier island looks uniform from the bridge and behaves nothing like it street to street. Elevation, zoning, rental rules, canal depth and exposure all move value, and none of them show up in a listing photo.
So the first conversation is about how you want to use the property, not about inventory. From there the homes worth your time are usually a short list.
Gulf-front and bayfront homes, deep-water canal properties with private dockage, and the island condominium market across all three cities.
Income properties evaluated against the actual rental rules of the city they sit in, rather than a headline nightly rate.
Mainland Bradenton and communities throughout Manatee County, including many of the area's sought-after golf course communities.

“The best decision I made was to call Justin Powell.”
So glad I contacted Justin to sell my home. His attention to detail, knowledge of the real estate market and personable nature makes him a great agent. He listed my home at the right price and it sold. From listing to closing, he made himself available to address any questions or concerns that I had.

“Justin was great to work with through all steps in the process.”
He was attentive and advised us well at each step. For example when we needed to negotiate the price, he worked with us to learn more about the market and comps in the neighborhood. He also gave us detailed neighborhood information that is helping us settle into our new home. We'd highly recommend him and will gladly partner again with him in the future.

“We would definitely recommend Justin.”
Justin helped us with the purchase of a condo in another state for a second home. We worked with him over several months, and we never felt any pressure from him. He was great - always very responsive, very attentive, and able to answer all our questions, provide the information we needed, and willing to step in and be there to on our behalf since we couldn't be there for inspections, final walk through, etc - even willing to take additional measurements, photographs that we requested for our personal use and planning. He was able to make a quality referral for an attorney, insurance agent, etc. We would definitely recommend Justin, and would use him again if the need arises.

“We could not have asked for a better experience.”
We could not have asked for a better experience when shopping for our property on Anna Maria Island. Justin was extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. He went out of his way for any assistance that we needed, as we are out of state buyers. He was very hands-on throughout the entire process. After the sale, Justin followed up to help us get utilities and contractors switched over to us. Justin was quick to respond to any and all of our questions. I will definitely contact Justin next time we are looking to buy.
