About

Palm House Real Estate is a relationship-driven brokerage built on deep local knowledge, hands-on leadership, and a genuine love for the Florida Keys.

Founded by AJ Vetter, Palm House was created to offer a more connected, thoughtful approach to buying and selling real estate—one rooted in experience, honesty, and long-term trust.

This is not a corporate brokerage or a volume-driven operation. Palm House was built by someone who was raised here, knows the market from the inside out, and believes real estate decisions should be made carefully, confidently, and with a clear understanding of what truly matters to the client.

Testimonials

I met AJ in 2021 as we started our search for a keys house. AJ came highly recommended from a friend who had bought a property in Islamorada with AJ representing him. As we narrowed our search and finally went under contract on a property it became very evident that I had made the right choice in realtors. AJ being a native of the keys knew what questions to ask and who to call to get resolution on all things related to the sale, this being especially important in a market as unique as The Florida Keys. When it came time to sell that house AJ was the first person I called to help me do it. A year later we went under contract on a new property in Islamorada and again AJ’s local expertise made for a very smooth transaction. Without a doubt I would recommend AJ Vetter for any and all real estate needs in the Keys.

Testimonials

AJ truly delivers results when selling a home. We were on a tight timeline due to a military move, and he not only sold our house, but secured top market value. He is thorough, persistent and dedicated to making both the selling and buying process as seamless as possible for his clients. We have worked with AJ multiple times and would confidently choose him again and again for any future home sale or purchase if we ever returned to the area. So grateful for all he has done for our family!

Meet AJ Vetter

AJ Vetter is the broker and founder of Palm House Real Estate and a lifelong Florida Keys local. Raised in the Keys, AJ has spent his life on the water and in the community he now serves professionally. His deep familiarity with the Keys goes far beyond maps and market stats—he knows the bays, the dockage, the channels, and the neighborhoods because he’s lived them.

AJ is deeply involved in the local community. He coaches flag football and Little League baseball, remains active in his church, Beach Church, and was part of the building process for one of the first new churches constructed in the Keys in nearly 30 years. These connections reflect his commitment to the people and places that make this area unique.

Professionally, AJ brings a rare combination of real estate expertise and hands-on construction knowledge. He has been involved in renovations, spec homes, and the full building process, giving him valuable insight into properties beyond what’s visible at first glance. Clients rely on him not only for market guidance, but for trusted referrals across every trade—from roofing and tile to local contractors who know how to build and maintain homes in the Keys.

Whether evaluating a waterfront property, navigating dockage and water depth, or viewing homes by boat, AJ offers perspective that only comes from a lifetime of experience here.
