Justus Koester joined National Land Realty as a land professional in 2017. He grew up in the heartland of the Midwest, where he was a student athlete and earned the prestigious honor of Eagle Scout. He is a decorated veteran and served in the U.S. Coast Guard, where he was first introduced to the beauty of Florida. After serving, he settled in Fort Myers and has made this amazing state his forever home, where his two children were born and raised. Prior to joining National Land, Justus was the owner of a brokerage firm in Southwest Florida.

In his 8 years at National Land, Justus has represented both sellers and buyers in transactions ranging from recreational, ranches, farms, orange groves, transitional, and commercial land. He is passionate about understanding and helping his clients and has the ability to think outside the box and develop strategies that benefit all. He continues to embody the principles of his time in the Coast Guard and as an Eagle Scout by translating those core values of “Always Prepared” and “Helping Others” into his mission to support his clients.

Justus is headquartered in Hillsborough County with his wife, Alli. They have two grown children, one in Fort Myers and the other who resides in Asheville, NC. In his spare time, he enjoys the outdoor lifestyle of camping and fishing. He was a former triathlete and has competed in several local and national races, including ironman races. His other love of his life is his dog, Radar, who has been known to join him on his visits to some of the more remote properties and is his frequent companion when Justus volunteers at his local humane society.
