About Joey Larsen

Joey works with three groups most often: retirees and empty nesters relocating to St. Augustine, Ponte Vedra Beach, Nocatee, Jacksonville and the Beaches; veterans and military retirees, including buyers using VA home loans; and homeowners in Ponte Vedra Beach, Nocatee and St. Augustine whose home sat, expired or came off the market without selling. For sellers, Joey starts with local MLS data showing what is actually selling, at what price and how fast.
Originally from Long Island, New York, Joey is a U.S. Army veteran and a University of North Florida graduate, and has lived in St. Johns County for more than a decade, first in Nocatee and now in Ponte Vedra Beach.

FAQ
Get pre-approved before you start touring, and know your true monthly cost, not just the price. In Northeast Florida that means homeowners insurance, flood insurance where it applies, and HOA or CDD fees, which surprise a lot of buyers moving from out of state. Decide what matters most to you, whether that is the neighborhood, the commute, the schools or being near the beach, and look at more than one area before you commit. Before we write an offer, I pull the recent sales so you know what the home is really worth.
Price your home from what is actually selling, not from what a neighbor listed at or an online estimate. I start every listing with local MLS data: what sold, at what price and how fast. Take care of the small things buyers notice first, like paint, lighting and curb appeal, and use professional photos, because the first week on the market brings the most attention. If your home already sat or expired once, we look at why before putting it back on the market.
I work with three groups most often: retirees and empty nesters relocating to St. Augustine, Ponte Vedra Beach, Nocatee, Jacksonville and the Beaches; veterans and military retirees, including buyers using VA home loans; and homeowners whose home sat, expired or came off the market without selling. I have also helped first-time buyers, investors and families moving to the area for work, more than 200 families in all.
One that stands out is a couple who relocated to Florida from Charlotte, North Carolina. Buying a home from out of state is stressful, so I made sure they always knew what was happening and never waited long for a call back. We focused on what they needed, I negotiated on their behalf, and they closed on their new home. Moves like that are a big part of why I focus on relocation.
I am originally from Long Island, New York. I served in the U.S. Army, graduated from the University of North Florida and got my Florida real estate license in 2014. Having made the move to Florida from the Northeast myself, I know how many questions people have about neighborhoods, costs and the process, and I enjoy helping them get straight answers. I have lived in St. Johns County for more than a decade, first in Nocatee and now in Ponte Vedra Beach.
Yes. I hold the Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES), Military Relocation Professional (MRP), Accredited Buyer's Representative (ABR) and Certified Residential Specialist (CRS) designations. SRES training focuses on buyers and sellers 50 and older, including downsizing and 55+ communities. MRP covers military moves and VA home loans. I am also a U.S. Army veteran, a University of North Florida graduate and a 2026 Jacksonville Top 500 REALTOR.
