Home Watch FL Keys, of Big Pine Key, FL, has joined the NHWA!


Jack Luber, Executive Director

Greetings and salutations!


Home Watch FL Keys, of Big Pine Key, FL, has gained Accredited Member status in the NHWA.



Owner Anne Leonard and her husband, Bill, formed Home Watch FL Keys in 2013. Anne & Bill have lived and worked in the Florida Keys for over 40 years. They both have retired within the last three years: Anne, after 35 years at the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office, and Bill, after a total of 37 years with the US Customs & Border Protection, Office of Air & Marine (Department

of Homeland Security), and the Monroe County Sheriff's Office.



Anne and Bill are very excited to have started this business and look forward to it growing within the next year. They both saw the need to have this type of business, as the Florida Keys have an extremely high volume of seasonal home owners. Considering the Keys are 112 miles long, they decided to concentrate their business from Big Pine Key to Key West, including the City of Key West, which is a distance of approximately 30 miles. The Florida Keys are definitely unique, and with Anne and Bill's backgrounds they have the necessary ethics, integrity and credibility to manage your vacant home.


Anne and Bill Leonard

Anne can be reached at anne@homewatchflkeys.com or (305) 509-3272. Bill can be reached at (305) 481-0063. You can visit their website at http://homewatchflkeys.com/.




Welcome, Anne and Bill!



As always, I wish you

Much success,



Jack
