Plantation and High-Quality Investment Property Leader...
Jon Kohler founded Kohler & Associates in 1991 as an entrepreneurial real estate consulting firm specializing in representing high net worth land owners and investors of high-quality properties. Since the bubble burst during 2008, his real estate firm has closed over $240,000,000 worth of high quality properties, which includes over $196,000,000 just since September 2010! The firm has represented clients and been involved with every modern plantation sale in North Florida and South Georgia, as well as most high-quality recreational and investment tracts across the region. They are experienced in every aspect of high-end real estate sales, conservation easements and conservation subdivisions while capitalizing on a property's highest and best use for the benefit of the client.
Jon Kohler & Associates has one of the most respected recreational property marketing programs in the country. The quality of their real estate services to high end sportsmen and investors throughout the region is unmatched.
The business philosophy is based on a "three dimensional perception of real estate." Clients benefit from a rare combination of specialized skills in land management, due diligence, marketing and sales, real estate valuation analysis and development experience. We are experts in realizing the highest and best use of the land from a recreational/hunting perspective to investment strategies such as rezoning and site planning and then capitalizing on that knowledge through marketing and sales.
We are also leading the region in "smart" residential development; the firm's flagship project is Centerville, the regions first conservation community and one of the largest developments in North Florida/South Georgia. This innovative development plan preserved 70% of the land as permanent open space, while at the same time, meeting the landowner's investment backed expectations. This project has received national acclaim and recognized by the 2006 Florida Legislature as a role model for development in the State of Florida.
Kohler & Associates places a high value on education with three staff members holding Bachelor Degrees in Real Estate from Florida State University, including one with a Masters Degree and one with a Juris Doctorate. They are considered experts in real estate and consulted with two Florida Governors, worked on deals as large as $500M, have been featured in numerous publications, newscasts and have been featured speakers on smart development. The company operates with a high level of professionalism and the ability to recognize value unlike any other real estate company.
Today, the firm has the best selection of exclusive listings and most extensive database of plantations and conservation development/ investment properties in the market. There is a broad spectrum of clients from institutional investors to recreational users that all share a passion for fine land. The fact that since 2008, Jon Kohler & Associates has closed over $240,000,000 in properties is testament to their hard work and business model.
