Brother, Can You Spare $3M??? American Caribbean Real Estate Leads The Upper Keys With 1/2 of 2013's, $3M+ Property Sales!!

You can keep the dime, but if you have $3M jingling in your pocket like so much loose change, you need to give your Conchquistador a call.
Did you know that American Caribbean Real Estate leads the Upper Keys in sales of properties over $3,000,000?
We have been fortunate to have listed half of the four properties that have sold in 2013, and our sister company, Marr Properties had one of the buyers for the other two properties.
This is our niche...This is what we do.

Thus far in 2013, as I mentioned there have been four sales that closed for over $3M in the Upper Keys:

1. 80221 Overseas Highway, Islamorada - Listed by American Caribbean Real Estate
2. 75140 Overseas Highway, Islamorada - Listed by American Caribbean Real Estate
3. 104 Coastal Drive, Key Largo - Sold by Marr Properties
4. 76041 Overseas Highway, Islamorada

As you can see, the Purple Isles (Islamorada), leads the pack, with a property on luxurious Coastal Drive in Key Largo thrown into the mix.

Here's a little recap of the properties that our company had the privilege to sell.:

Yes, yes, I know. That one was Really bad, but hey it's 4 pm on Friday, and I'm itching for a Conch Colada to start the Weekend off right.

(BTW, Conch Colada.... My own recipe and creation is 1.5 oz of  Bacardi  Pineapple Fusion, Pineapple
Juice, and Sweet and Sour or Margarita Mix.  Shake vigorously with ice and strain over fresh ice or serve up.  Goes exceptionally well with a good Partagas Black Label cigar!)
OH and my lawyers wanted me to add, please drink responsibly and only drink if you are over 21.

Anyway, back to Rea Estate.
As you can see from my report below, our market has stayed pretty constant.  Good news for Buyers in that the prices have not made a huge jump from last year, in general.  If you consider the Sale Prices and current List Prices , you will notice that there is a very small margin.

An interesting point is that Condo sales are up considerably, and the amount for sale has doubled.

As we head into Fall we usually see a bump in activity, as many Buyers would love to enjoy their new property for the Holidays, so THIS is the time to buy, making it a great time to sell.

If you would like more info on our dynamic Florida keys Real Estate Market, Contact me today. Let's get together and chat,  I've got a Conch Colada with your name on it.

De Plane, De Plane! Holiday Isle Now Offers Seaplane Service Directly to the Beach!

There's always been something profoundly nostalgic about arriving to a destination via Seaplane.
Maybe it hearkens back to yesteryear, to the days of  the Pan Am Clipper Class, elegantly gliding in....pontoons skimming the azure waters and then taxiing to the awaiting dock.
I can almost smell the fine cigar smoke that would be allowed in those days and seeing someone like  the Dos XX Most Interesting Man in the World appearing from the cabin.
Yes, there definitely in an air of Romance associated with Seaplanes.

Now, you too can capture that Romance here in The Keys!

The Post Card Inn at Holiday Isle in Islamorada has announce they they will be offering Seaplane service to and from the locations of Bimini, Miami, Ft Lauderdale, and Key West.

Florida Keys Profanity

Forget George Carlin's 7 dirty words. Forget the F, S, C, P, D, and just about any other A thru Z words....When it comes to June 1st in the Florida Keys, one word is MOST Profane!!!! Wash your mouth out with bad Zest Profane..and that is The H-Word....Hurricane.

Yep, It's THAT Time of Year Again.

Yes, like most of the Eastern states, The Florida Keys once again hold its collective breath as we start another dreaded Hurricane Season. Our little stretch of 118 miles of dust, gravel, and mangroves are prone to these suckers!

The Lovely, yet Somber,
Hurricane Memorial in Islamorada

All joking aside, Hurricanes have had an indelible effect on the Florida Keys. One visit to the lovely, yet somber Hurricane Memorial in Islamorada, quickly paints the image of the power and destructive capability these massive weather phenomena posses.

Who can deny the impact the 1935 Storm had. It virtually and literally collapsed the Overseas Railway. It fueled Hemingway's creative fires for several of his subsequent novels. Most people are not aware that Hemingway was quite an unsung hero of the 1935 storm, providing great assistance in relief efforts aboard his Boat Pilar.

So, as we break out our shutters and refresh out mooring plans and search for that perfect hurricane hole for out boats. We get ready in true Keys fashion: We throw on Jimmy Buffett's "Tryin' to Reason with Hurricane Season", Mix up a batch of Margaritas, and give the H-word...the F-word.

"Keys anglers star in 'Reel Rivals'

Florida Keys sportfishing is destined for primetime broadcast attention when a new television reality series debuts May 7 on the Weather Channel.

The first episode of "Reel Rivals" is to air at 9 p.m. featuring the daily competiveness of Keys sportfishing

captains George McElveen, Nick Stanczyk, his uncle Scott Stanczyk and Augie Wampler. The four skippers base their boats at Bud N' Mary's Fishing Marina in Islamorada.

"'Reel Rivals' is about the competition between four sportfishing captains in the sportfishing capital of the world," said Brad Hebert, co-executive producer for Optomen Productions, which created the show for the Weather Channel. "It centers on relationships on and off their boats.

"They're entertaining, comical and [episodes are] full of twists and turns," he said about the 30-minute shows.
Hebert and his video production crew focused a slew of cameras on the four skippers for almost a month. They subsequently spent four months in post-production to create six shows that are to air with the anticipation the series will be extended on an annual basis.

Hebert says viewers should be forewarned that "Reel Rivals" is not a typical nuts-and-bolts fishing show, although plenty of sportfishing action is included. He added that the natural attractions and climate of the Keys add to the show's appeal.

"The location is beyond what is advertised in terms of beauty as well as the diversity of species," Hebert said.
Following the premiere, subsequent episodes are slated to air Tuesdays at 9 p.m. through the end of June. Programming dates and times are subject to change.

The Hampton Inn at mile marker 80 plans to host a premiere party May 7 and the show's principal characters are expected to attend. Happy-hour drink specials are to begin at 4:30 p.m. and complimentary appetizers are to be served starting at 8."

Ten Keymandments for Keys Conservation!

The Florida Keys are an incredible destination for travelers the world over.  

That being said, it is imperative, that in order to maintain this tropical paradise, we as locals, and visitors alike adhere to a few "Keymandments".

I saw this great list of directives on the Florida Keys and Keys West website at fla-keys.com, geared at educating our valued visitors on the protocols to Keys living and conservation:

‘Ten Keymandments’ for Keys Travelers

While the Bible's Ten Commandments advise people what not to do, these "10 Keymandments" are designed to guide visitors in what you CAN do to have meaningful, memorable vacations while respecting and helping preserve the Florida Keys environment.

Great new button on the Fla Keys and Key West Website

Plant a coral (or adopt one of the cute little things, but don't touch them on the reef).

Use a mooring buoy at dive sites. (save your back and leave the anchor alone).

Support the wildlife (volunteer food, funds or time to a local wild bird center).

Take out the trash (especially if it’s floating in the water).

Capture a lionfish (any time and any size — we can show you how).

Leave a digital footprint (share pictures with fans, friends and followers).

Hike it, bike it or hoof it (it’s low on eco-impact and high on fresh tropical air).

Catch dinner (and release all the fish you know you can’t eat).

Conserve vs. consume (reduce, reuse and recycle even on vacation).

Get off the beaten path (you can hike, bike, walk, kayak or paddleboard along Keys trails).

Make sure to do your part to keep our Keys pristine!

The Conchquistador and My New Friend Guy Harvey...What a Pair!

Wow, talk about an Honor! I had the distinct pleasure to meet one of my true inspirations, my new Friend, Dr. Guy Harvey!

Guy is an amazing individual, not just as a superb artist of enormous talent, but also as a big game fisherman, conversationalist, philanthropist and ecological educator.

My wardrobe consists mostly of his line of fishing shirts, and his brand has become somewhat of a cottage industry.

I recently had the opportunity to catch up with Guy, and found him to be most delightful and engaging.  We both spoke of our love for the sea and the Florida Keys in particular.  Kindred spirits for sure.

Guy's marine wildlife art is among the best in the world, and his floor to ceiling mural at Fort Lauderdale's airport is breathtaking.   Another Hemingway devotee, like yours truly, Guy got his start with his exhibition in 1985 of pen and ink drawings inspired by "The Old Man and The Sea".  From there, his career has flourished and his commitment to our sea life has been unparalleled, and he now joins the ranks of Jacques Cousteau, as an Ambassador of The Sea.

Guy Harvey's " Blue Runner".  Yet Another Stunning Piece  from this World Renowned Artist!

So, I look forward to more opportunities to hang with Guy and share our love and passion for the water, the sea life, and the essence of what makes the Florida Keys such a magical world.

Be sure to visit Guy's website at GuyHarvey.com, where you learn more about Guy and visit his online store where you can purchase his dramatic art and super cool clothing line.

Dutch Harbor Meets Islamorada! Deadliest Catch's Captain Wild Bill Meets Your Conchquistador!

As extremes go, Islamorada, here in The Fabulous Florida Keys and Dutch Harbor, Alaska are about as opposite as you can get here in the US geographically.  But we are definitely in unison when it comes to our love of fishing.

Why do I bring up Dutch Harbor??? Well for those uninitiated, Dutch, as they call it, is home base for the Alaskan King Crab Fishing Fleet and center stage for those stalwart mariners on my favorite TV show, Deadliest Catch.  Let me tell you, fishing in the Bering Sea is BRUTAL!!!! These guys are BAD ASSES!!  And I just got the great opportunity to meet one of the baddest, Captain Wild Bill Wichrowski of The Kodiak.

Bill was down here enjoying our much much calmer waters and partaking in the recent.Islamorada Sailfish Tournament.  Your Humble Conchquistador met up with Bill at Wahoo's after the weigh in, where we had the chance to chat about what else...Fishing!!  What a great Guy.  Big, Rugged and Burly...the kinda guy Hemingway would have wanted to hang with.

Bill, as far as I am concerned you are now an Honorary Conch!
