What a great weekend at the First Annual Key Largo Stone Crab & Seafood Festival! The two-day event drew amazing crowds, even despite the overcast skies on Sunday, and everyone loved the Saturday night fireworks display (the cheers could be heard a half-mile away)!

Prudential agents manned their booth both days and had loads of fun! We were the only real estate company with a presence at the festival, and both sales & rental agents were on hand to help the many nice folks who stopped by to chat. We passed out brochures, discussed sales & rental properties with visitors & locals alike, offered visual tours on the several laptop computers on hand, saw lots of old friends and made lots of new ones. We even raised almost $200.00 with a 50/50 raffle to benefit the Red Cross's Haiti Relief Fund (half of the proceeds went to the raffle winner & the remaining half to the Red Cross), and we send our heartfelt thanks to all the booth visitors who donated to that cause!

The music was good, the food offered by area restaurants & other vendors was wonderful, the weather was great -- all in all, it was an amazing weekend in the Fabulous Florida Keys! We look forward to next year's event, and hope to see everyone there.

Prudential Keyside Properties will be at Booth 307 this weekend at the First Annual Key Largo Stonecrab and Seafood Fest! Join us in the festivities with live music, fireworks, the freshest seafood the Keys have to offer, costume contests, peel and eat shrimp eating contests and so much more!

Welcome to the new Prudential Keyside Properties. Our intent is to make your online experience one that combines necessary, up to the minute, real estate information, with a sense of what the Keys are all about. Unlike most markets, where price is mostly a matter of neighborhood and quality of home, the Keys are a far more diverse collection of small enclaves and individual properties. Few neighborhoods have the insular qualities of conventional communities. Here, the 1968 model "trailer" sits comfortably on its ocean front lot, next to a multi-million dollar palace. That may be a bit of a stretch, but one visit and you'll say it's not far from the truth.

Our job when working with buyers is to listen intently to the lifestyle choices, and find the property that best matches that buyer's vision. Unlike most destinations, price does not correlate directly with the existing property. It's much more a matter of location. One can change the physical, the bricks and mortar (or concrete blocks, or tin!) but there are many options for location. Each special in its own way. Deep water, Canal, Ocean or Bay, Neighborhood park, Boat ramp. Distance from Key West, or Miami. Then we narrow the available choices in a particular style or size of home. It's a complex puzzle. Sure you can do it alone, but talk about eating up a whole vacation trying! Whew! We're here to help. We know the market. Give us a few minutes of your time, and we'll ask the right questions to lead you to your piece of Paradise.

Enjoy the site. And enjoy browsing our links to the Keys. Remember, it's not just a destination; it's a lifestyle.

We have so many options today to market our listings, so many ways to get creative, make them stand out above the rest. Internet marketing is the best way to reach out to potential buyers. The most crucial aspect to successful internet marketing is to catch the eye of the viewer. You can put whatever you want on the internet, but are people going to be interested enough to view it? We see flashy media everyday, all over the internet and TV. I incorporate this into my real estate marketing as well. See below for one example. Enjoy!
