From the Marine Corps to real estate, some things never change.
Veterans Day is a time to honor the men and women who have served our country. But this year, we thought we’d do something a little different.
Instead of sharing another traditional Veterans Day message, we’re taking you behind the scenes to get to know the Marine behind The Relentless Group.
If you’ve met Justin Noe, you probably know him as a Realtor, real estate investor, and leader of The Relentless Group, brokered by Agile Group Realty, serving Hernando County, Tampa Bay, and Florida’s Nature Coast.
But before real estate, Justin spent 20 years serving in the United States Marine Corps, retiring as a Chief Warrant Officer 4 (CWO4). Read more ABOUT Justin Here.
Those two decades brought countless experiences, lifelong friendships, a relentless work ethic, and apparently, a few habits that retirement just couldn’t shake.
So, in honor of Veterans Day, we asked Justin 10 questions about his time in the Marines, life after retirement, and how his military experience continues to influence the way he approaches business.
Some answers were thoughtful. Some were funny. And some were exactly what you’d expect from a Marine.
Let’s get into it!
10 Questions with Justin Noe: From Marine to Realtor
1. What’s the most Marine thing you still do today?
Justin: “Work out.”
His wife would also add: Pointing at everything with his entire hand instead of just one finger. Once a Marine, always a Marine!
2. What’s one military habit you just can’t shake?
Justin: “Getting up early.”
3. What’s the funniest thing that happened during your 20 years in the Marines?
Justin: “Too many to pick from.”
Twenty years of stories, and he won’t give us a single one. We’ll keep working on him.
4. What’s one thing civilians will never understand about military life?
Justin: “The challenges of moving across the country every three years.”
Military life isn’t just about the person wearing the uniform. It’s a journey for the entire family. New duty stations, new homes, new schools, new friendships, and sometimes starting over just when you’ve finally settled in.
For military families, home isn’t always a permanent address. It’s something you learn to create wherever life takes you.
And perhaps that’s one reason Justin understands just how important finding the right home can be.
5. What’s the worst meal you ever ate in the military?
Justin: “Bang bang shrimp. It tasted delish but gave me food poisoning, and I ended up in the hospital for three days. So the term bang bang was fitting. I don’t recommend eating seafood in a landlocked country in the middle east…”
6. What’s one military saying you still use regularly?
Justin: “Good to go.”
7. What’s something you miss about the Marine Corps, and something you definitely don’t?
Justin: “The people I served with. The BS the military put you through.”
The people you serve alongside become more than coworkers. They become lifelong friends, connected through experiences few others fully understand.
And while Justin may not miss every part of military life, the people will always be part of his story.
8. What’s harder, leading Marines or negotiating a real estate deal?
Justin: “They’re different. They both have their challenges.”
But the skills he developed in the Marine Corps definitely carry over into real estate, especially when it comes to navigating tough negotiations, making difficult decisions, and keeping the long-term goal in mind, even when the right choice isn’t the easiest one.
9. How did 20 years in the Marines prepare you for entrepreneurship?
Justin: “Relentless work ethic. And a winning mentality.”
And that might be the best explanation of where the name The Relentless Group comes from.
Building a business requires discipline, resilience, adaptability, and the willingness to keep moving forward when things don’t go according to plan.
Those principles were part of Justin’s life long before he became a real estate investor and Realtor.
Today, that same mentality drives his approach to helping buyers, sellers, and investors make informed, strategic real estate decisions.
10. What does Veterans Day mean to you now that you’re retired?
Justin: “It’s the day after the Marine Corps birthday.”
And there you have it. Twenty years in the Marines, and November 10 still gets top billing.
For those who don’t know, the United States Marine Corps celebrates its birthday on November 10, one day before Veterans Day.
Once a Marine, always a Marine.
Semper Fi!
Different Mission. Same Commitment.
After 20 years in the Marine Corps, Justin transitioned into a new chapter of life: real estate and entrepreneurship.
And while the mission looks different, many of the principles remain the same.
Leadership. Discipline. Integrity. Commitment. And a relentless drive to get the job done right.
As an active real estate investor and Realtor, Justin brings a perspective shaped by both military service and hands-on real estate experience.
Whether he’s helping a family buy their first home, guiding a seller through a challenging negotiation, or working with an investor to identify opportunities, his focus is on making strategic decisions that serve his clients’ long-term interests.
At The Relentless Group, we believe real estate is about more than transactions.
It’s about helping people build stability, create opportunities, and ultimately build generational wealth.
And for Justin, serving others didn’t end when he took off the uniform. It simply took on a new form.
Honoring Those Who Served
This Veterans Day, we want to recognize the men and women who have worn our nation’s uniform.
Thank you for your courage, dedication, and sacrifices.
We also recognize the military spouses and families who have supported their loved ones through deployments, relocations, missed milestones, and countless new beginnings.
Your sacrifices matter, too.
To every veteran in our community, thank you for your service.
Happy Veterans Day from Justin Noe and The Relentless Group!
