About
“This place means a lot to me. So when someone decides to call it home, I don’t take that lightly.”
Chris lives here. That shapes how he works.
I live in the Florida Keys year round. I fish here. I boat here. I spend my days moving between islands and neighborhoods, not just reviewing listings online.
Living here gives you a different understanding of this market. You see how homes actually function day to day, not just how they look in photos. You learn quickly that details like insurance, flooding, construction quality, and canal access matter more here than most people expect.
That lived experience shapes how I advise clients and how I approach every deal.
Why I started paying closer attention
I started paying close attention to real estate because I wanted to buy in the Florida Keys myself.
What I noticed early on was how easy it was to miss important details. Listings sounded confident. Conversations felt reassuring. But the information was often incomplete.
Insurance costs were not always clear. Flood risk was glossed over. Long term usability was rarely discussed.
Rather than accept that as normal, I took the time to learn how this market actually works. Not just pricing, but the parts that affect how a property lives and holds value over time.
That experience is the reason I work the way I do today.
Experience that supports the way I work
In addition to real estate, I have spent years working on the content and media side of this industry.
I am a co-founder of Keys Media Studio, where I help shape video content and storytelling for real estate brands in the Florida Keys.
One example is my work with Nate Bartlett and the Life in the Florida Keys YouTube channel.
That channel has generated:
- Over 182,000 total lifetime views
- More than 4,400 hours of watch time
- 1,300+ subscriber growth
- Consistent daily viewership rather than a one time spike
My role focused on how content was structured, what stories were told, and how listings and lifestyle videos were presented so they continued to perform over time.
That experience directly affects how I market homes and how I advise clients.
Real estate in the Florida Keys deserves honesty
I am a Florida Keys local and a licensed real estate agent with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices. I work with buyers and sellers who want clear information, realistic expectations, and decisions they can feel good about long after closing.
Why this matters if you are buying or selling
Because I understand how people actually engage with real estate content, I know how homes should be presented to attract serious interest, not just attention.
Because I have seen what gets ignored or misunderstood online, I do not gloss over details that could change a decision later.
Because I live here, I know which questions matter before most people think to ask them.
All of that helps you move forward with more confidence and fewer surprises.
This is My Home
I’m on the water whenever I can be...
fishing, boating, moving between islands.
Over time, I've come to understand what makes each part of the Keys different. But it never really stops, every time I’m out there, there’s something new to notice.
That’s what makes this home.
Principles That Drive Every Decision
Not promises, the standards Chris lives by.
Honesty & Integrity
You will always know where things stand. Chris believes clarity protects people… especially in real estate, where uncertainty is costly. If something matters to your decision, it gets said.
Taste & Craft
The same person shaping the strategy is shaping the story, the visuals, and the execution. Taste and intention come first, creating work that’s original, considered, and unmistakably different. Every creative choice reflects a sharper positioning.
Problem Solving
Real estate rarely moves in straight lines. When something doesn’t add up, Chris digs deeper, asks better questions, and works through obstacles until the solution holds up in the real world.
Hands-On Always
Chris is directly involved: thinking through decisions, spotting issues, following up, and keeping things moving forward. Because he knows the details matter.
Servant's Heart
If it protects you, it’s worth the effort. That means answering when you call. Catching what others miss. Doing the unglamorous work so you can move forward with peace of mind and come out the other side feeling taken care of.
