2003 Happy New Year to All
We had a Great 2002 and would like to thank all our freinds, business associates and past clients. Hope the Best to everyone in 2003!! Our 2003 project is to sell a lot of Real Estate like we do every year and build our new house on Adams Waterway. The clearing and cutting has just started, and I'll keep you all posted as we progress. Need a bucket of fill? |

2003 Project Continues
Its almost halfway through the year, and we have made some progress. The Dock is pretty well completed, the back wall with curb just needs to be poured. The pool is pretty well framed out and is well under way. We also have water and electric on site and our Cistern is in place!!! |
  |
2003 Project Permits
Its November and we finally received the revised permits from the county. The dock is completed, we halted construction on the pool so the house would catch up, and the house has started! |

2004 Happy New Year
Its Jan 1, 2004, we would like to thank all our friends & clients for making this past year, our most successful year in Real Estate sales. Misty and I always talk about how lucky we are to be able to work and live our lifestyle here in the Keys.
We just signed on our construction loan yesterday and the house is starting to take shape. The next pour will be the concrete second floor with the stairs. Our builder Jean Farfan is moving right along, we expect to make a lot of progress with him on the job now. He has been the greatest!

2005 Begins, again Happy New Year to All!
The year went by so fast I'm trying to figure out how to slow this one down, but it's the end of Feb already.
The house project looks great, but it seems we are down to the toughest part. Final details and this is where everything has to mesh. Misty thinks we will be done soon and I'll see how far we get this year!

2006 its Spring already! Hope all of you started the year off well!
The house is not quite done, but we have moved in, finally! I guess we will finish it sometime, soon in 2006. We have the 1st permitted Boat Elevator on Adams Cut that does not have a cut-in slip area. Parked on it, is our new 32' World Cat EC. We just took it for its first spin around Guana Key, Abaco and back, and are pleased with "Barefoot Cat"'s test-run. So it is back to work for now, and we look forward to a few summer runs to the Bahamas this year, maybe we will cross paths with you in the Islands! |

Spring Break 2003 comes to Key Largo
They turned our home into a college dorm for 5 days. We were finally able to take half a day off to take them out on the Boat, and did some snorkeling on the Shallow Reefs. Some people might say it makes them feel old to watch them play, but I had to say it makes me feel young to play with them. Hope to see them again next year!! |

Year 2002 Company Awards, #2 Sales Team in the Company of 5 Offices
We started working for Coldwell Banker Schmitt in March, so our first 3 months of the year which was close to 5 Million did not count. We totalled Over 10 Million for the remainder of year, but fell short by a Team in the Marathon Office who did just enough over 10 Mill. to eek out the lead. Our Company has very strong office's in Marathon, Big Pine Key and Key West, so I expect the competition to be tough every year. We did have a great time at the awards banquet in Duck Key. Pictured next to us is Brian Schmitt who is the "Best Broker in the World" always throws a great party. And congratulations to Brian who didn"t get an award , but I understand he did over 16 Million in sales himself. He is also the hardest working Broker in the Keys! |

Year 2003 Company Awards, #3 Sales Team in the Company of 5 Offices
We had our best year in sales, over $20 Million Dollars (I love the way Danny DeVito says it, "Million Dollars") worth of Real Estate in gross sales. The price of Real Estate has gone up greatly in the Lower Keys which makes the competition within our own offices tougher for us to compete with. It's a healthy form of competition and we all have fun at the awards banquet, and as Brian puts it, his agents are the "Best of the Best"

Florida Keys Real Estate waterfront property overall has risen over 40% again this past year. Even with the months of lost work due to the Storms which we DID have come this way, we had a spectacular year and our sales doubled to over $41 Million Dollars. Brian's awards this year featured a little bit of Keys History with a section of track from the Historic Flagler's Railroad. Pictured with us is the newest member of our Team who just came aboard. Sherrie Kemp. Feel free to call her if you need to! |
