2024 Women’s Profile: The Abbott Martin Group

Many Realtors focus solely on the home that will be lived in. The Realtors of The Abbott Martin Group extend their focus beyond, considering the community the home belongs to.

This appreciation and emphasis on community stems from the company’s deep roots along the Emerald Coast. The Abbott family has been prominent in the real estate industry since they first opened their doors in Destin in 1970.

Over the past 53 years, the company has remained a top producer along the Emerald Coast, and family and community remain a priority. Today, The Abbott Martin Group is spearheaded by third-generation Nathan Abbott, CEO and Broker Associate, and TJ Martin, President and Realtor. Also on the team are Nathan’s sister Amanda Abbott, Realtor and Seller Specialist, and TJ’s sister Shaye Martin, Realtor and Team Lead for the Pensacola office. Combined with great leadership through Travis Brewington, Director of Operations, and Adam Myrick, Director of Marketing, The Abbott Martin Group can deliver a full-service experience.

The Abbotts and the Martins enjoy working as brother-sister duos, making an impact in the community they were raised in. The expertise of the two families in real estate and construction adds perspective to the company dynamic.

“Nathan and TJ have created beautiful career paths for myself and Shaye by realizing we are both strong women with good leadership skills who help to elevate and empower all of the women on our team,” said Amanda. “We all work together to support each other and our customers.”

The Abbott Martin Group, as part of eXp Realty, has over 60 Realtors situated throughout the Florida Panhandle. In 2020, the team joined with eXp Realty, the fastest- growing global real estate company. This partnership allowed The Abbott Martin Group a higher tier of exposure throughout the country, while still promoting the familial welcoming of a local business.

As a company, they are ranked in the top 1% nationally in annual real estate production. Since 2020, they have been recognized on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest growing private companies in America.

In 2022, 509 individuals and families bought and/or sold their homes with The Abbott Martin Group, resulting in $365 million in transactions. Since its inception, Abbott Martin Group has closed over
$1 billion in sales.

While numbers certainly talk, the team’s secret to success is one-on-one conversations to truly get to know their customers. Taking time to understand a customer’s wants and desires allows The Abbott Martin Group to align each customer with their ideal property. The Abbott Martin Group aims to raise a higher standard of expectation in the industry and create a fun yet seamless experience for the customer.

Often, these conversations will occur while an agent takes customers paddleboarding or biking to explore the area. It’s not unlikely to tour homes by boat for waterfront homebuyers. With more and more people from throughout the country gaining interest in owning homes on the Emerald Coast, The Abbott Martin Group loves connecting newcomers not only to amazing properties but to a new, more relaxed lifestyle here on the coast.

“We are versed in the whole coastline and have a presence in every community across the Panhandle,” said Amanda Abbott. “The transplants coming to the area don’t necessarily know the ins and outs of each community, but as locals, we get to give the immersive experience of showing them the dynamics and history of an area.”

The company’s knowledge and flexibility affords the ability to help customers pivot if they begin to reconsider an area due to pricing or desired qualities.

“We understand the whole coastline, not just a niche market,” said Amanda.

The Abbott Martin Group truly elevates the real estate experience.

A sizable focus for 2024 will be launching their website, Enjoy Emerald Coast, which will provide lifestyle guides and resources that connect homebuyers with local businesses and experiences.

“It’s important to us to connect our customers with the lifestyle,” Amanda said. “Because this area is so special, beautiful and truly life changing.”
