With a diverse background in business and government, I will provide you with superlative service in buying or selling residential or commercial real estate. I have decades of marketing experience, and I understand land use regulations and property insurance issues. As a Key West resident for 19 years and an elected official for half that, I am familiar with all of the Florida Keys -- from the Southernmost Point to Ocean Reef. (Learn more at my website, www.HeatherKeysRealEstate.com.)
Interested in hospitality? I owned and operated a small hotel for over 13 years and served as the president of the Lodging Association of the Florida Keys and Key West. I am uniquely qualified to help you find that quaint bed & breakfast, vacation rental or large investment property. If you're ready to sell, I understand how to navigate maintaining an ongoing concern while effectively marketing your property.
I am the kind of person who doesn't give up easily, who works hard and honestly, and who is known for getting things done. Let me do that for you!
