The Team

Preferred Properties Key West was founded in 1995 by our broker, Laurie McChesney. From the beginning, the company's philosophy has always been to have the market knowledge and skills necessary to provide clients with superior service and long-term results, thereby earning their trust and business.

We have been here for over thirty years through the ups and downs and challenging times. We learned a great deal about market trends, negotiation, timing, and other factors, which we utilize to benefit our customers. We know our community, the real estate market, and how to help you achieve your goals. You can rely on us to put our expertise to work for you.

Preferred Properties has sold some of the island's most notable and valuable real estate in Key West and the lower Florida Keys. Our sales have broken records in both Key West and the Florida Keys. Our reputation for selling significant homes and estates is well known. Our sales records have established Preferred Properties as a leader in the luxury real estate market for over 20 years. More importantly, we have had the pleasure of helping our clients achieve their goals, whether it was through buying, selling, consulting, or managing their properties in their absence. We take the most pride in the service and positive results we have provided to our clients.

The Preferred Properties office is located at 520 Southard Street, Key West, in the heart of Old Town. In addition to residential and commercial sales, our company provides comprehensive property management services, including vacation rentals, condominium association management, association bookkeeping, property supervision, and absentee owner services.

Please let us put our expertise to work for you.
