Get to Know Jack Lara

Real Estate Agent/Broker-Associate with over 20 years of experience.  I have what many consider a witty sense of humor to go along with my style of work hard play hard.  

I have been married since 1986 and I have two daughters.  We enjoy times together going to the movies, dinner, and playing in our swimming pool.  Our entire family loves to read and we all have a streak of creativity.  My wife is a Registered Nurse and an aspiring artist specializing in water colors.  My eldest daughter works in downtown Pensacola as a hair stylist and does occasional modeling. My youngest daughter is a musician at heart playing guitar and on occasion the piano.  Both of my daughters are also great at sketching drawings.  I like to write, draw, to study economics and history, and well ....I just like to learn and absorb as much of this world as possible.

I was very fortunate to live out a childhood dream of flying.  I served in the United States Marine Corps and I was designated a Naval Aviator in 1985.  

I am here to help you.

Jack did a great job in finding me a home in the Pensacola area. He quickly learned the type of home I was looking for and was very patient as he helped me find my new home. He worked hard and answered any and all questions I had. I would work with Jack again and would recommend him to others. Hattie, Pensacola

Our house was a tough sale. We considered 4 other realtors before selecting Jack. This was a high stress situation for us as we do not live in Pensacola and needed to sell this house. Jack made this easy for us and went up and beyond our expectations. He is low keyed but definitely an experienced and extremely helpful realtor. Would hire him again without any hesitations.

Jack is the best real estate agent I have ever had the pleasure to work with. He took on a very difficult short sale that most other agents would not even consider and then was diligent and professional. Most importantly, he was successful. When challenges popped up, he overcame them. If I ever do another real estate deal in Pensacola, Jack will certainly be the first person I call. I have worked with many so-called real estate professionals that are more of a liability in getting a transaction complete than an asset. They have to be babysat throughout the deal. I would trust Jack to handle every aspect from start to finish and to have my best interests covered every step of the way. This is your guy.

From the first time that Jack walked into our home, he did everything right on. Our home sold the first day to the first person that viewed our home. There were a few hiccups but Jack met them head on and resolved everyone of them, 98% without needing anything from us...His kindness, his genuine concern, his personable manner distributed every asset to ease the process for us. Once the house went on the market, there were as many as 4 -5 families a day that came through to see the house, until the buyer actually presented his contract. Jack kept us informed of every perspective buyer who was coming to view the property. His humor carried us through as well. WE have nothing but praise for Jack and his ability to close a sell quickly and successfully. We highly recommend Jack as you will not be disappointed.

I am a real estate investor and I constantly work with Mr. Lara buying and selling properties. Mr. Lara is very knowledgeable and experienced working with short sales, foreclosure and in determining value of properties. He is very thorough in determining the value of a property and whether or not there are other factors that affect the property. Mr. Lara also helped my daughter buy her first home and was extremely thorough in explaining the process and making sure she understood everything.

Jack worked his tail off to get the sale closed when there were changes made in the buyers financing. There were many hoops to jump through for this sale and it was done with the help of Jack being persistent and staying on top of everything. The house sold in less than two weeks. Amazing, and he could have sold it several times over. Thank You, Jack Lara We truly appreciate all of your hard and long hours worked.

Jack has represented me on the purchase of two homes. He is an expert in the areas of short sales and foreclosures. Jack routinely advises his clients on the status of their sale. I don't worry about things because I know Jack is always on top of where we are and where we need to be.

Jack knows the market better than most Realtors. He can help you with complicated transactions that many agents would shy away from. He had to do an extensive amount of work to get my duplex to closing (beyond the call of duty). He earned every penny of his commission! I held a real-estate license at one time so I know a little bit about how to judge the knowledge and effectiveness of a Realtor. I highly recommend Jack for ANY real-estate transaction.
