AJ Vetter is the best realtor/broker we have ever known. He and his team were able to quickly sell our home, holding our hands every step of the way. His team goes above and beyond the standard. We would recommend him to anyone in the keys.

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!
