GLOBAL PROPERTIES NETWORK AFFILIATE
Justin Liggett's roots on the Gulf Coast run four decades deep. His family has owned property along this coast — from Longboat Key to Boca Grande and everywhere in between — for more than forty years, so he knows these communities as a resident, not just an agent.
Born and raised in Michigan and a graduate of Michigan State University, Justin built his practice around a clear conviction: buyers and sellers deserve a hardworking, genuinely ethical advisor. He keeps his client roster intentionally focused — not to do less, but to give each client more of his time, sharper strategy, and complete discretion from the first conversation through closing and well beyond.
“I got into this business with a simple conviction: people deserve an advisor who's truly in their corner — honest, hardworking, and never rushed. I don't chase volume; I'd rather take on fewer clients and do right by each one. Away from work, my wife Nicole and I love discovering new restaurants and traveling abroad, and I stay active with golf, tennis, and pickleball. I also love to cook and have a real interest in investing.”
Four decades of lived experience from Longboat Key to Boca Grande — the buildings, the boards, the flood maps, and the streets that hold their value.
An intentionally focused roster. You work directly with Justin from first showing to closing table — never handed off to a team you've never met.
Data-driven pricing, refined digital presentation, and AI-assisted market research that surfaces opportunities other agents miss.

AREAS OF EXPERTISE
As an out-of-state buyer with very little time, I needed someone I could trust — and Justin spent five full days showing me everything I wanted to see. He was patient, knew the market inside and out, and was refreshingly honest; he cared about finding the right home for me, not just making a sale. He stayed a step ahead through every detail and went out of his way even after closing. Without a doubt, the best realtor I've ever worked with.
