The Florida Keys recently hosted the “Who’s Who in Luxury Real Estate” spring retreat at Playa Largo in Key Largo. This was a testament to the growing luxury market in the Florida Keys. Local Brokerage American Caribbean, Christie’s International Real Estate played local host to the event and sponsored a luxury property that drew over 100 top luxury real estate agents and brokers from across the globe.

The property tour started with a bus ride filled with American Caribbean real estate agents sharing Keys fun facts, showcasing the best of the

Keys’ luxury properties, and bringing together real estate professionals to network and explore the offerings of the Florida Keys real estate market.

“We are thrilled with the overwhelming response to our luxury property tour,” said Joy C. Martin, broker/owner of American Caribbean, Christie’s International Real Estate. “It was an incredible gathering of elite luxury real estate agents from across the country, who came together to explore our island home.”
