Hi, I'm Steve Conley. I live in Islamorada with my wife Tari and our two young kids. In 1980 during summer break from college, I sold my first home while working at my Dad's sales office. The following summer breaks from college were spent in the sales office negotiating deals, learning marketing and developing skills. After getting my Master's Degree in 1985, I took up real estate sales, land development, and home construction full-time. I've been working ever since, in good times and bad, negotiating great deals and giving my customers excellent service. And, as a sales associate with Realty World Freewheeler, I'm a team member with the best agents in the Keys.

So enough about me, WHAT ABOUT YOU? Don't you deserve an agent with a life of experience in the industry? Call or email me. Let's talk about your needs. (305)-393-5859 – steve@freewheeler-realty.com

The Keys is where I have chosen to raise my two beautiful children, because although I've lived in other beautiful places, such as the majestic Smokey Mountains, there's is no better place to call home like this tropical oasis.

Active in the Real Estate market in the Florida Keys since 2005, I have the expertise and experience to help you find your own piece of this beautiful paradise.
