Welcome! Let me introduce myself.

Steve SchwartzHello! My name is Steve Schwartz and I've been a real estate broker in Key West since 2000. I used to be a traveling man, and it took Key West to make me settle somewhere this long. I spent more than 20 years visiting the Caribbean and Bahamian Islands, and this is the island I chose to call "home." So, I purchased my own "island casa" and established myself in the real estate business more than 13 years ago now.

People are always asking me what made me choose Key West. That's easy. It's the people. The people of Key West are unique in their friendliness and in their generous commitment to their community. And that's not easy to find in this day and age.

And, of course, there's the water! The crystal-clear, azure waters of the Florida Keys are what drew me like a magnet to this paradise island. As busy as I get, I still find time to enjoy the water! Boating and fishing are my two favorite ways to relax.

But, let's face it, as a buyer or seller, you don't care about my relaxing time, you want to know about my commitment to my clients! Well, over the years, I've had more than 10,000 homes built and I presently enjoy record-breaking property sales in Key West. I put professionalism and diligence above all and I'll "work every day until it's sold!"

The current mood of the real estate market in Key West has opportunities that have never been better for the astute BUYER. Tranquility and peace of mind cannot be bought. But my goal is to help you find that special place that will enhance the quality of life you seek.

Let me help you find your perfect home in Key West! Call 305-304-1708 or email nexxthome@yahoo.com.

Welcome to the Rain. Hopefully, you'll get all wet and learn a lot along the way. You'll find lots of great information to learn from and if you blog to the consumer a great resource for buyers and sellers to find you.

What a great place not only to live but also to work!  I have been to Key West several times and I totally understand why you choose to live and work there.  It is everything and I mean everything -- the people, community, culture and the amazing scenery.  I will be done there again soon and maybe we can meet!

Welcome.  I have never stepped foot in Key West but will be traveling with my entire immediate and extended family there for the holidays this year for about 10 days.  Can't wait.

Steve:  What a great first-time blog post.  You write like a pro... but still there is so much of "YOU" in your writing.  That's a good thing... a very good thing/

I see this is your first post, so Welcome to Active Rain.  I am so glad you're here.  There is so much to Active Rain.  Lots to learn, to share, and then there's the relationships... both business and personal, that will follow.

Again... I'm so glad you're here.

By the way... I have just subscribed to your blog.  I invite you to subscribe to mine.

Welcome to ActiveRain, Steve.  It's a fun community with many smart people that are more than willing to share their knowledge with you.  

Oh how I miss Key West.  My wife and I vacationed there years ago and hope to get back there soon!

Steve, welcome aboard.  I haven't been to Key West since about 1996.  I installed the POS, and the voice and data systems for the West Marine stores from Ft. Lauderdale to the Keys.  Whenever I am down in Florida, I always make sure to get down to the Keys to play in the water.

Thanks for all the comments and encouragement, everyone! I'm just getting started on here and with my blog and having a lot of fun with it. I just published my first "true" real estate blog comparing a few units in a popular condo complex in Key West. I'd love your opinion. My best, Steve
