The Team

Preferred Properties Key West was founded in 1995 by our broker, Laurie McChesney. From our beginning, the company 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 twenty years through the ups and downs and challenging times. We learned quite a lot about market trends, negotiating, timing and other factors which we use for the benefit of 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 to help our clients achieve their goals whether it was through buying, selling, consulting or managing their properties in their absence. We are most proud of the service and positive results that we have provided to our clients.

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 offers residential and commercial property management, vacation rentals, condominium association management, association bookkeeping services, property supervision and absentee owner services.

Please let us put our expertise to work for you.
