Challenges? What Challenges. 230 King Avenue in Key Largo - Just Sold at $350,000.

Challenges, a myriad of Challenges. 
You better be organized, and you better have patience, and you better keep your cool even though you want to slap somebody upside the head.

Yes, practicing Real Estate can be full of challenges, and let's not even talk about practicing real estate here in The Keys!!  Challenges unlike anyplace else!!

So, why does your humble Conchquistador put up with this craziness.  A flawed sense of masochism, perhaps??

No...its the Rewards.  And no, I'm not just talking about the financial (which yes, can be PRETTY good), more, I talking about real rewards.  The Clients and Customers that get IT, and let me do what I do best, to make THEM Happy!! 
The greatest? The greatest is to look over at my Client at the Closing Table and see them smiling and exited, being that they are buying a new home or brushing of the stress of carrying the one I just sold for them.
 
People like my latest Client who bought this really cool, 2006-built home at 230 King in Key Largo.

What made this special is that she was a Repeat Client!  I had had the privilege of selling her property a few years ago, and when it was time to buy, she smoke signaled to the Conchquistdor to find her and her husband their new Oasis.

A 22% Return in 2 Years??? THAT'S Making Your $$$ Work - Keys Style! Just Sold $1,037,000 - Tropical Chic

You COULD buy vending machines... you could play the Stock Market, heck you could put some money down on some ponies in the third race at Hialeah, play the Lottery, or even place some bets at a Cock fight deep in the Everglades...and, I do mean, Roosters.

Yes, there are a myriad of ways to increase your financial stake in this world.  That being said...Real Estate... and Waterfront Real Estate on top of that constantly, offers unmatched, consistent returns. 

Case in Point...my recent sale of 4 North Drive in Key Largo.

A beautiful home with wide open water views, perched on the Bay Side of Key Largo.
The greatest part of this transaction for me was that I was able to work with repeat customers!!
I had the privilege of selling this home in 2013 for $850,000.  
I have just recently Sold is again for $1,037,000!! a 22% return in just two short years!!  
And for the most part in the same excellent condition but with no new upgrades. So very apples to apples.

Our Market has been red hot down here in the Keys, with supply becoming a real challenge for demand.
And why not....when you can buy a beautiful home that offers such Tropical Serenity, and the opportunity for world-class fishing and diving mere minutes from your dock, and the security of owning property in the good 'ole US of A??  And comparatively speaking our Keys prices are dramatically low for comparable properties in other waterfront locations both nationally and internationally.

Well, enough of business and finance..lets talk about this super home!!

The Mangrove Pod, Sediment, And a Whole Lot Of $$$, Its Our Sept Real Estate Resource Report!

(You must read the Following with the voice of Jacques Cousteau in your mind, or if you are too young and don't remember him, think of the voice of the narrator of Sponge Bob Square pants!)

Our Little Hero

The Mangrove seed pod floats atop the water.  
With all the might it can muster ... it finds a way. It finds a way to fight the current, and the tides. It finds a way to get to the right spot, and miraculously dig in its root!!

Now, the mangrove begins to flourish, and as it grows, from underneath the water, to on top, it achingly unfolds new roots that branch out and create a unique web, a unique web that becomes a filter in the water.  A web, that offers protection to juvenile marine life and a web that traps sediment.  

Sediment that now offers new seedlings an opportunity to find their way, to grow and prosper, next to the existing Mangrove.  

And now you have a collection of mangroves collecting sediment. NOW, you have a KEY!!!

And that Key when it grows up may have waterfront parcels worth millions of $$$.

(Ok, you can stop with the voice)

This, my readers, is how are Keys were, and continue to be, Born.  Almost 2000 of them in total,
These seed pods have created one of the most beautiful destinations on Earth, our Florida Keys.

And, as our Real Estate Market reflects, folks just cant get enough.

Please see our Real Estate Resource Report below that shows both a drop in inventory and a dramatic drip in the days on Market.

Let me know if you would like a Monthly Resource Report emailed to you directly!
