Who we help

Clients selling one home and buying another whether across town or across the country.
"As first-time homebuyers relocating to the area, we wanted a realtor with strong relocation experience, and Kim exceeded our expectations."
Start here: is St. Augustine right for you?
Before you look at a single listing, you should know whether this area fits the way you want to live. That's where our relocation work begins.
Explore from home. Our YouTube channel, @yourkeytostaugustine, and our video resources give you a real look at the communities we serve before you ever book a flight.
Get the relocation guide. Our St. Augustine Relocation Guide helps you start comparing areas and planning your move.
Home tours. When you're ready to see homes, in person or on video, we'll show you properties and the areas around them so you can compare with confidence.
Experience everyday life. When you visit, we'll encourage you to look past the listings and into the places you'd use every week, so you can picture your life here, not just your house.
"Upon contacting her, she encouraged me to come experience all that St Augustine offers, showing me homes, areas, etc. This helped me narrow down a few sites that would check all of my relocation boxes. She additionally advised me to scout the area-seeking out local, everyday businesses (dog groomer, library, etc)."
Our core services
Relocation home buying
Once you know where you want to be, we help you find the right home there. We'll talk through how you want to live day to day, what matters most in a neighborhood, and which trade-offs you're willing to make, so your search stays focused and your time here is well spent. When the right home hits the market, we move quickly to help you secure it.
"We were relocating and she was an incredible asset in our search for the perfect new home. She spent time showing us houses in different neighborhoods until we decided on the right one for us. Not once did we feel rushed or pressured to pick one."
Out-of-state buyer representation
Many of our buyers start their search from another state, and many have never bought in Florida before. We'll be your eyes and ears locally, explain how things work here, and keep you updated at every step so you can make confident decisions from a distance.
"Even while we were still in Maine, she went above and beyond to help us find the right home. She was incredibly knowledgeable about St. Augustine and the surrounding areas and took the time to really understand what we were looking for."
New construction representation
The builder's sales team represents the builder. We represent you. We help you compare builders and neighborhoods, match a floor plan to how you actually live, and stay involved through construction, including builder meetings and key milestones, until you have the keys.
"Kristen has met with and attended both in person and phone calls with our builders along with us every step of the way. She's met us at key dates during the building process and has guided us every step of the way."
Pre-listing consultation
Before you list, you deserve a straight answer about where your home stands and what it will take to sell well. Our pre-listing consultation covers pricing, preparation, and timing, with an honest strategy based on your goals rather than a sales pitch.
"Prior to listing we interviewed many realtors… No one came even close to Kim in terms of knowledge of the marketplace, professionalism, solid advice and the genuine desire to ensure we were getting optimal service."
Out-of-state seller representation
If you've already moved, or you're selling a home you inherited, a parent's home, or a home you no longer live in, we manage the local side of the sale while you're away. That includes showings, open houses, and coordinating what needs to get done at the property, and we keep you informed at every stage. You'll always know what's happening and why, without needing to be here.
"We were spending weeks at a time out of state while both houses were on the market. Kim didn't miss a beat. She held open houses, took care of a minor roof repair in our absence and kept us fully informed during the whole process."
Other services we help with
Buying and selling at the same time. Coordinating a sale and a purchase is one of the most stressful parts of moving. We help you plan the timing so both sides work together. One of our clients sold their home in Maine while buying in St. Augustine, the first time they had ever done both.
Downsizing and 55+ buyers. Whether you're simplifying, moving closer to family, or looking for a community built around your next chapter, we'll help you find a home that fits how you want to live now.
Condos and second homes. From a seasonal getaway to a lock-and-leave condo, we help you work through the practical questions that come with a second property.
Local move-up buyers and sellers. Already in the area and ready for more space, less space, or a different neighborhood? We'll help you sell and buy with a plan that keeps you from getting stuck in between.
"We've had such a great experience with Kim Devlin and her team. Our house was under contract almost immediately."
We also work with first-time homebuyers, including relocating first-time buyers, and VA buyers.
How we work: a partnership, not a transaction
Honest, transparent strategy. You'll get a clear picture of your options, including the parts that aren't what you hoped to hear.
Clear communication. We explain things plainly and make ourselves available when questions come up.
No pressure. Big decisions deserve room. You'll never feel rushed.
"I always felt that she had my best interests at heart and that she genuinely cared about helping me through the process, not simply completing a transaction."
