Dear Vivian and Mike

I wanted to let you know how much I appreciated your going above and beyond during the process of finding a home in Panama City Beach. It was refreshing to deal with a couple who treated me as a friend and not just a client. Your up-front knowledge and advice which was not always what I wanted to hear but what I needed to hear was truly helpful. After the sale your willingness to provide area information and take phone calls regardless of the subject was extremely valuable.

Dear Vivian & Mike,

Thank you so much for everything you did to make our first condo purchase simple and worry free. You made NUMEROUS offers on our behalf without hesitation to help us get the best possible buy. Your follow through and feedback about any issues that arose was exceptional. You kept us informed throughout the many closing postponements (which lasted several months) without delay.

On closing day, you practically held my hand and helped through the many problems that arose. Others would have left as soon as the papers were signed, but you stayed until you knew that everything was OK. Your dedication and genuine concern for your clients sets you apart from others.

I am so thankful that Vivian answered the phone the day I called Prudential.
You are by far the BEST realtors I have ever used.

We sincerely appreciate your professionalism and kindness,
Matt & Becky Jones

Dear Vivian and Mike,

You are two of the finest people we have ever had the pleasure of meeting and working with. From the search for our condo in Panama City Beach, to finding just the right one, and over the many months it took to reach the closing date (due to unanticipated builder delays), you proved yourselves to be not only outstanding realtors, but genuinely good and caring individuals. You take your work seriously, but always with a light touch and remarkable finesse. You do your homework and you make a great team! We know that during our purchase process you had to deal with a personal crisis, yet somehow you never dropped the ball, even when it would have been utterly understandable! Our experience could not have been better, thanks to all your efforts on our behalf. “Thank you” hardly covers it.

My family and I would like to thank Vivian and Mike Foate for their dedication and expertise in helping us sell our Moonspiner condo in Panama City Beach. During our listing period, we experienced some unpredictable events from several potential buyers, but Vivian and Mike helped guide us through these situations with their timely and professional opinions. Once again our family thanks you.

Hi Mike and Vivian!

When we decided to buy our first home in Panama City as newlyweds... we had originally planned on not using a realtor to help us find our home. We had several agents contact us and you, Mike and Vivian were the only people who we were able to find a strong connection and feel comfortable with.

To feel like your realtors are working to your advantage and so closely with you, made this such an easy-going experience.

We knew nothing about the process when beginning and you two held our hands every step of the way. Along with my daily phone calls to Vivian for updates on how the steps were going, she became a friend who I could rely on during the process. With this being our first home, I never felt like there was a question I could not pick up the phone and ask. It meant so much to us and our families that we felt entirely included and informed in every aspect.

Even with all of the research I had completed in finding houses to pursue, Mike was able to find us a house we had not even considered, that ended up being everything we wanted.

Mike and Vivian are the total package when it concerns finding suitable realtors. We could not have asked for an easier first-time home buying experience. Because of Mike and Vivian this period in our life was made-stress free.

Mike & Vivian Foate,

Good Day! Andrew and I would like to express our deepest appreciation onall of the work the both of you contributed to our new home. For years to come, your time and efforts will be remembered and cherished. It may be hard to understand why we are so grateful, but we will try to explain.

As you know, we have struggled through many obstacles the last six months
trying to purchase a home. From denials, to being pushed aside, and also neglected, you have taken us in and fulfilled your promises. As we were finally approved for a mortgage, Andy and I rode around for several hours a week just looking for homes in our range. We looked online, in magazines, talked to people, and had such a hard time finding anything suitable for our family. Upon riding by a particular house in the Cove area, Andy noticed a house and called the Realtor advertised, Vivian Foate. Although the house was not to our liking or preference, Andy was very impressed by just the simple conversation he had with you. We looked for another week or so, with our current Realtor no where to be found, and Andy was persistent in wanting to call you back. So we did. I am so fortunate that we finally did call you back, because you are angels in disguise.

You may think that you were "simply doing your job", but the truth to the matter is, you saved us. Once we finally found our house, you made us knowledgeable about things we knew nothing about. You gave us contacts for services we needed, in which every company was recommendable, and highly satisfying. We appreciate the times it took for you to meet inspectors, Realtors, and tenants, in getting our home sold. Thank you for the countless hours on the phone scheduling appointments, getting quotes, and Vivian, calming me down).

I felt that a portion of this process was very stressful, and not that I expect it to be any less.. But for everything I felt was out of my control, you made me feel confident that what I was going through would soon pass, and be worth the while. You reminded me time and again that you were there for any needs or concerns that we may have, and followed through with that on every occasion. Mike, you were so awesome about always preparing us for the worst or the best. You are so great with words, and explaining things so that I would understand on a high level. You two made it happen!! Thank you for your advice, wisdom, and diligence in getting the job done, and done right.

To the point, we are thankful. Whether we lose touch, or remain friends, you will always be in our memories, in our new home. We will always highly recommend you, and in the future will also use you again! Please remain in touch, and may God bless you both abundantly for the blessings you have bestowed upon us!

Thank you sincerely,
Andrew, Ariel, Gage & Anniston Josker

"Vivian, Thank you for all your hard work in helping us find a place that was perfect for us. We took so much of your time and I cant even count all the Saturdays through the summer we spent looking. You did your homework each time and had a list of homes for us to look at. I can truly say that you showed us everything for sale from Destin to Panama City with no complaint! We really had all the information we needed to make a decision. I also feel like we made a wonderful friend. Thank you again for all you did for us."
Sincerely, Pam and Denney Barrow

"She (Vivian) did a great job for us with difficult tenants an property management. Vivian understood and responded to my questions and concerns in a professional manner, the transactional and closing process were handled professionally, and the closing and follow-up of our real estate transaction exceeded our expectations.

Vivian was fantastic. She far surpassed our expectations. She went above and beyond the call of duty. If we decide to buy or sell again we will call on her."
