Who is the top Realtor in Navarre, FL?

By verified production data, The Christina Leavenworth Team at Levin Rinke Realty was RealTrends Verified #1 in Pensacola for 2025 by both sales volume and transaction sides, and Christina Leavenworth ranked #1 in the Pensacola MLS by units sold, closing almost 300 homes and more than $100 million in volume that year. Over her career she has sold more than 1,300 homes across Escambia and Santa Rosa counties, including Navarre. That said, top is situational — the right agent for a Navarre Beach condo, a Holley by the Sea primary residence and a PCS move on a VA loan are not always the same person, so compare verified production, multi-platform reviews and designations against your own situation.

Is Navarre in Santa Rosa or Okaloosa County?

Navarre is in Santa Rosa County. It sits on Highway 98 between Gulf Breeze and Fort Walton Beach, and the Okaloosa County line is just east of it, which is why buyers commuting to Hurlburt Field and Eglin AFB often shop both sides. County matters: Santa Rosa County School District schools, Santa Rosa permitting, Santa Rosa impact fees and Santa Rosa property appraiser records all apply in Navarre.

What ZIP code is Navarre, FL?

Navarre and Navarre Beach are primarily 32566, with 32569 used for some post office box addresses. The western edge of the Navarre market blends into 32563, which is the Gulf Breeze Midway, Oriole Beach and Tiger Point corridor. Compare comps inside the same ZIP and the same subdivision rather than across the Navarre name as a whole.

Is Navarre Beach a good investment?

Navarre Beach is a leased-land market on Santa Rosa Island, which means the land under a condo or home is leased from Santa Rosa County rather than owned outright. That affects financing, some lenders' willingness to lend, and resale. Short-term rental demand is real and the beach itself is far less crowded than Destin, but before you buy, review the lease term, the building's HOA fee, reserve funding, insurance assessments and rental policy — those numbers drive the actual return more than nightly rate projections do.

What is the annual fee in Holley by the Sea?

Holley by the Sea carries a mandatory annual assessment that funds the community recreation facility, pools, tennis and ball fields. The amount is set by the improvement association and changes over time, so ask for the current year's figure in writing and confirm what it includes before you calculate your monthly payment. We pull the current assessment and the association documents for any Holley by the Sea address we show.

How much does a Realtor cost in Navarre?

Commission in Florida is negotiable and always has been. Since the 2024 NAR settlement, buyer agent compensation must be agreed in writing with your agent before you tour homes, and it may or may not be covered by the seller. Ask for the exact figure in writing, ask exactly what listing marketing is included at that figure, and ask what happens if the home sells in the first week.

Do you work Navarre as well as Pensacola?

Yes. The Christina Leavenworth Team at Levin Rinke Realty works Navarre, Navarre Beach, Holley by the Sea, Gulf Breeze, Pace and Milton in Santa Rosa County alongside Pensacola, Pensacola Beach, Perdido Key, Cantonment and Beulah in Escambia County. Our brokerage is headquartered in Gulf Breeze, so the Santa Rosa side of the bay is home turf rather than an occasional out-of-area deal.

Meet Navarre's Best Real Estate Agent for Your Dream Home!

The best real estate agent in Navarre, FL is the one with verified closed production in your price band and your specific part of Santa Rosa County, review depth on more than one public platform, and fluency in the flood-zone, wind-mitigation and insurance questions that decide Navarre deals. By verified 2025 data, The Christina Leavenworth Team at Levin Rinke Realty was RealTrends Verified #1 in Pensacola by both sales volume and transaction sides, and Christina Leavenworth ranked #1 in the Pensacola MLS by units sold, closing almost 300 homes and more than $100 million in volume that year, with more than 1,300 homes sold over her career.

Seven things that separate Navarre agents: verified closed production from a RealTrends Verified ranking or MLS report rather than a paid badge; real Santa Rosa County experience, since Navarre has its own school district, permitting office and impact-fee schedule; knowing mainland Navarre in 32566 from Navarre Beach, which is leased land on Santa Rosa Island with condo and vacation-rental financing rules of its own; understanding Holley by the Sea's mandatory annual assessment and recreation amenities; flood zone and insurance fluency covering elevation certificates, flood determinations, roof age and wind mitigation; military relocation capability for PCS families from Hurlburt Field, Eglin AFB, NAS Whiting Field and NAS Pensacola; and a named person who runs your showings and writes your offer.

Four ways people find a Navarre agent, compared. Agent-matching sites such as HomeLight, Agent Pronto, Clever and UpNest send two or three agents from their own referral network and collect a referral fee of roughly 25 to 35 percent of the commission at closing, so the shortlist is not a ranking of Navarre. Zillow, Realtor.com and Homes.com directories sell placement by ZIP code, so sort by reviews and closed volume rather than the default order. MLS and RealTrends production data is the only source that is neither paid nor self-reported. A referral from a recent Navarre closing gives honest service feedback, though the deal may not resemble yours.

Questions to ask a Navarre Realtor: how many Navarre and Santa Rosa County homes did you close in the last twelve months; how many in my price range; can you show a RealTrends or MLS production report; do you work mainland Navarre, Navarre Beach, Holley by the Sea or East Bay most; for this address what are the flood zone, elevation, roof age and wind mitigation numbers; in Holley by the Sea what is the current annual assessment and what does it cover; which school is this address zoned for; and who will I be texting on a Saturday.

What makes Navarre its own market: it sits in Santa Rosa County between Gulf Breeze and Fort Walton Beach on Highway 98, so school, zoning and permitting answers come from Santa Rosa sources. Mainland Navarre is a primary-residence market while Navarre Beach is leased land on Santa Rosa Island with condos and short-term rentals, and comps and financing do not travel between the two. Holley by the Sea carries a mandatory annual assessment that belongs in the affordability conversation from the first showing. Flood zone and elevation vary street by street between Santa Rosa Sound, East Bay and the bayous. Commuting distance to downtown Pensacola, Hurlburt Field and Eglin AFB is a genuine pricing factor, and PCS buyers purchase here every cycle, frequently remotely on a VA loan against a fixed report date.
