Thirty years of full time real estate sales has given me the opportunity to combine an advanced degree in the real estate industry with practical hands on experience in all aspects of the Key West and the Florida Keys real state market. I have handled sales in single family homes, multiple family dwellings, vacation second homes, guesthouse properties and the full range of commercial sales, development and leasing. A successful investment in property has as much to do with a Buyer having the advantage of a full knowledge of the market as it does with negotiating the right deal. I offer my considerable background and experience in both areas in your property purchase or sales decision.
Specialization
One of the most appealing attributes of the Key West real estate market is the investment opportunities available through the town's unique mixed use zoning. This is particularly applicable within the Island's large Historic District where retail, resort & hospitality use is allowed along with residential. I have the expertise and vast experience in identifying these high value commercial - investment properties and finding vehicles to further develop the income stream of these properties, thereby increasing overall value. Vacation Income generating property is an additional area of expertise encompassing guesthouse, resort and restaurant properties.
