Adventures In Key West Real Estate

I think I’ll start by introducing myself… My name is Krystal Thomas, I am a REALTOR® and work for Last Key Realty, Inc. as an agent helping to make peoples’ dreams come true one closing at a time (corny but true!  Who doesn’t dream of buying a home in Key West?!).  In my spare time I’m a writer, avid reader, lover of the sunshine, good vibration seeker, newly inducted Rotarian and an avid fan of my husky and sidekick Skyy.

I became a real estate agent in 2013 and let me tell you, the struggle has been reeeeeeal.  The amount of offers I put in for clients vs. the number of homes sold is astounding.  The first year I sold one house.  The second year I sold one house.  This year, year 3, as of today I’ve sold 5 and have 3 under contract.

It’s been a long rough road to get to where I am today both professionally and personally.  I’ve learned so much along the way and there is still so much more to go!  With each transaction and experience there are lessons upon lessons to be learned and I’m more excited than ever to share these experiences with you.

There are A LOT of really cool things cooking right now!  Aside from it being Fantasy Fest week in Key West, just today this happened:

  •  Got an accepted offer for my buyers for a mid town home in Key West, FL.
  •  Spoke with a prospect who will be in town next weekend and wants to  look at properties while he is here.  BINGO, set up showings for next  Friday… check!
  •  Approved the HUD to close on my first investment property on Friday.  My first house flip.  The FIRST FLIPAROOSKI!

I’ve realized that through all of my journeys, both personally and professionally in Key West, I am neither the first nor last to do or learn any of this.  But what I want to share with you is what I am learning along the way as an experienced/constantly learning agent, a first time home buyer, project manager, etc. etc.

I’m looking forward to sharing my adventures in living, buying, selling, managing and investing in Key West with you so stay tuned.
