I have been listing & selling property in the lower Florida Keys for over 20 years.  Let's put my knowledge & experience to work for you. I work 7 days a work! Call me today!

Entering the new year, we continued to see low supply, fewer new listings, mix that with increased demand and that leads to upward pressure on prices.
