1. Client Testimonials – Dan Ewbank
July 9, 2014
We first met Dan Ewbank two summers ago while in Destin and searching for a property. He spent many
hours with us traveling up and down the Emerald Coast, in and out of property after property in the
blistering heat! Even though we did not find that perfect place at the time, Mr. Ewbank followed-up with
us and kept in touch over the past two years, and when the listing for Cabana Club came up, I contacted
him and said "Dan, this is the one!" He immediately went to work for us and we had an offer on the
table, a counter offer, then final acceptance and the condo was off of the market within a few short
days! During the entire process, from offer to closing, Mr. Ewbank was there every step of the way. We
had his full attention whenever needed and he gave an immediate response to any questions or
concerns we had. He cheerfully participated in the entire process and treated us with such professional
care and respect - not as just another dollar sign.
In this day and time when outstanding customer service tends to be rare, it is because of his impeccable
customer service that we highly recommend Mr. Ewbank to anyone looking to purchase a property in
the Destin area.
Through the detailed and lengthy process of purchasing a second luxury home, which could potentially
be a nightmare, Mr. Ewbank's expertise helped make it a dream come true for us - as it should be!
Thank you once again,
Don and Laura Aaron

Dear Dan,
I was very pleased with the help and expertise you provided as you successfully guided a complex real
estate transaction from the beginning to the end.
I appreciated during the start of our relationship that you kept me informed of properties I might be
interested in through periodic emails and telephone calls. I liked receiving the information provided that
included references and links to current listings. When we met to look at listings you had arranged for us
to view, I was very impressed with how you handled the day. The organization you provided was great
and included: 1.) lining up multiple properties to view within a narrow window of time; 2.) providing
descriptions of the areas, the buildings, and the units to help me assess different values to each
property; 3.) your knowledge of the various market areas and the type of potential renters various
properties could attract (families, couples, those who prefer activities associated with the building
versus those who prefer quiet beach time, etc); 4.) my own printout copy of each property we were
scheduled to view which reflected all pertinent information (square footage, HOA fees, number of
2. bedrooms, baths, etc).
When it came time to make an offer, your expertise in drawing up the proposal to purchase helped my
offer to be the most attractive and ensured my offer would remain unchallenged and stay secure should
any subsequent offer come in to play. During the course of the transaction you kept me informed,
helped me produce any needed documents, and kept me assured that things were moving along toward
closure. Your offer to assist with potential financial institutions, title companies, and insurance
companies for me to use was very helpful as I was not very familiar with the Destin community. You
exhibited continual calm patience while the transaction went on and on for approximately five months,
with multiple updated closing dates. The transaction was made even more complex because of the need
to communicate the transaction with the bank holding the mortgage and a reluctant seller who was not
easy to locate for necessary signatures, during the short-sale transaction.
Upon reflection of all the help you extended during the time we worked together, I thank you once
more for the professionalism and expertise you demonstrated. I look forward to working with you again.
I most assuredly recommend that others make use of your talents and engage you to help them find and
secure the property they desire.
Sincerely,
Dan Bain

placido.martinez.3 Helped me sell a home
I just want to say thank you for helping me with selling my house. I was in dire straits. I just went
through a divorce and my ex-wife left me with this house and mortgage that I couldn’t handle. I was
going down fast financially and emotionally. You were amazing I explained my problem and you said No
problem. I list it and sell it as a short sale. When I heard SHORT SALE I was scared. I thought I was going
to end up with all the leftover mortgage balance and no house. The market is bad and I saw no end in
sight. Then you explained to me about the 1099C forgiveness and it sounded good. I admit I was
skeptical but you were right. Put the house under contract and within 30 days I had a buyer and closed
in 95 days. And it didn’t cost me ANYTHING. WOW! I couldn’t believe it. Then when the 1099C came in
the mail and listed $125,000 and I had to do my taxes I thought for sure I was going to have to pay taxes
on it. But again you were RIGHT. I didn’t pay any taxes on any of it. In fact I received a refund. My
mortgage company is happy, the IRS is happy, and I am extremely grateful. I cannot express how much
you saved me for that divorce money pit. I cannot say thank you enough. You are an excellent agent.
Thank you.
