Our team
About Us | Your St. Augustine Realtors
Real estate isn’t just about buying or selling a house. It’s about getting your life right before you sign anything.
You’re not just choosing a floor plan. You’re choosing a location, a lifestyle, a daily routine, and a long-term financial decision. That’s where we come in.
We’re Kim Devlin and Kristen Pytel, relocation specialists serving St. Augustine, St. Johns County, and Palm Coast. Our role is simple. Help you make smart, informed decisions that still feel good six months, five years, and ten years down the road.
Why People Work With Us
Because you don’t want pressure. You want clarity.
Kim brings firsthand relocation experience, deep local knowledge, and a no-nonsense approach. Having relocated multiple times herself, she knows exactly what it feels like to start over in a new place and how easy it is to choose the wrong area if you’re only looking at listings.
Kristen brings calm, detail, and emotional intelligence to the process. A yoga teacher and former volleyball coach who raised her family locally, she understands schools, neighborhoods, and how families actually live day to day. When things feel overwhelming, she steadies the room.
Together, we balance strategy and support. Data and intuition. Honesty and empathy.
What Makes Us Different
We don’t sell hype.
We don’t rush decisions.
And we don’t guide you toward what’s easiest for us.
We help you understand:
Which neighborhoods fit your real lifestyle, not just your wish list
The hidden costs people overlook when moving to Florida
Flood zones, insurance realities, HOA and CDD fees
How location affects your daily life long after closing day
Our clients often tell us they felt heard, not sold to. That’s not accidental.
Our Philosophy
You’re not a transaction. You’re a partner.
Our job is to guide you to the best result, not the fastest one. That means asking better questions, slowing things down when needed, and giving you the full picture so you can decide with confidence.
If you’re relocating, downsizing, buying your first home here, or simply trying to avoid regret, you’re in the right place.
Real guidance. Local truth. No sugarcoating.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you specialize in relocation to St. Augustine?
Yes. Relocation is a core part of what we do. We help people moving to St. Augustine, St. Johns County, and Palm Coast understand neighborhoods, lifestyle differences, hidden costs, and long-term fit, not just what looks good online.
How are you different from other St. Augustine real estate agents?
We focus on location-first guidance. Many agents sell houses. We help you choose the right area before you commit. That means honest conversations about traffic, flood zones, insurance, HOA and CDD fees, and what daily life actually looks like after the excitement wears off.
Do you work with out-of-state buyers?
All the time. Many of our clients are relocating from the Northeast, Midwest, or other parts of Florida. We’re used to handling virtual showings, detailed video walkthroughs, and clear communication so you can make confident decisions from anywhere.
Can you help us decide which neighborhood fits our lifestyle?
That’s our specialty. We take the time to understand how you live, not just how many bedrooms you want. Whether you care most about schools, walkability, boating access, quiet communities, or being close to the beach, we help narrow the options that actually make sense for you.
Do you help with flood zones and insurance questions?
Yes, and we’re very direct about it. Flood zones, insurance costs, and building requirements matter in Northeast Florida. We walk you through what those designations mean, what to ask insurers, and how they can affect your long-term costs and resale value.
Do you work with buyers, sellers, or both?
Both. We help buyers relocate, downsize, or purchase second homes, and we guide sellers through strategic pricing and preparation. No matter which side you’re on, our approach stays the same. Clear advice, honest expectations, and smart strategy.
What areas do you serve?
We primarily serve St. Augustine, St. Johns County, and Palm Coast, including beach communities, master-planned neighborhoods, and established residential areas.
What is it like to work with your team?
Calm, organized, and transparent. We’re known for being responsive, emotionally supportive, and detail-driven. Clients often say they felt confident and informed, not pressured, throughout the process.
Are you okay if we take our time making a decision?
Absolutely. In fact, we encourage it. Big moves deserve thoughtful planning. Our job is to help you avoid regret, not rush you into a timeline that doesn’t feel right.
