Steven A Reibel

“Meeting Steven Reibel changed everything for me, I only wish I'd met him sooner. When Steven approached me with the idea of merging my office with The Keyes Company, I was extremely hesitant. After owning my own office for 25 years, I couldn't imagine what that would or could look like. I thought I would have to give up some of my independence. I was used to the warm and nurturing environment which I created. I thought it would never be possible to attain with such a large company. After meeting The Pappas Family and the regional management, I was encouraged. I took the leap and have never looked back. It's the best business decision could have ever made. I've never been more at home, never been happier and equally as important.... I've never been more productive. Thank heavens for Steven Reibel who took the time and effort to put all my doubts to rest.”

“Exactly 4 years ago, I decided to partner with The Keyes Company. At that time, my company, Novus Realty, had reached an important stage after 10 years, and I was looking for new ways to continue growing. I had known Steven for many years, so I reached out again, and we met for a cafecito. That conversation made the difference. For me, my company was like family. Any partnership had to respect those same values. With Keyes and the leadership of Mike and Christina, I found exactly that. A company with strong family values, which is essential in our business because we work with families every day. Looking back, it was one of the best decisions of my life. It was not easy, and letting go was scary, but it was the right decision. This partnership allowed me to grow, close more business, and achieve things that would have been very difficult to do on my own. I strongly recommend Steven Reibel and The Keyes Company to any broker seeking growth, support, and a values-based culture.”

“Testimonial from Jeff Miloff and Gary Aubuchon Co- Owners, Miloff Aubuchon Realty Group Cape Coral, Florida When we began exploring the possibility of a partnership, our discussions with Mike Pappas and Steven Reibel extended over a year and a half. We took our time intentionally. This was not a decision we approached lightly. It was important for us to ensure the right long term fit for our agents, our staff, and the legacy we had built. What ultimately led us to choose The Keyes Company was the cultural alignment between our organizations. From the beginning, we felt a strong connection in terms of corporate values and how we view people, relationships, and business. Beyond culture, the Keyes technology platforms, systems, and global referral network were extremely compelling. The infrastructure and resources available through Keyes positioned our agents for even greater opportunity and productivity. Throughout the entire process, the candor, honesty, and openness in every conversation were paramount. There were no surprises. The transparency and professionalism shown by Steve, Mike, Christina, and the broader Keyes team were critical in bringing the merger to a successful conclusion. That same level of support and communication has continued post merger, which has been instrumental in retaining all of our key agents and staff. The feedback from our agents has been very positive. They are excited to plug into the full capabilities of Keyes Connect and recognize the increased productivity and efficiency it provides. The expansive training resources and the strength of the referral network have also generated a great deal of enthusiasm. Our team clearly sees the opportunities this partnership creates. On a personal level, working with Steve Reibel, Mike and Christina Pappas, and the entire Keyes team felt immediately comfortable and familiar. There was an instant connection that became the foundation of the entire relationship. Our respect for everyone involved was and continues to be at the highest level. For any broker owner considering a similar path, our advice is simple. You can trust the people at Keyes. They genuinely want what is best for you and your people, because they understand that your success is directly connected to their success. We are proud of the decision we made and confident in the future ahead. Jeff Miloff and Gary Aubuchon”

“Merging Florida Suncoast Real Estate into The Keyes Company has been one of the best business decisions we?ve ever made. From day one, the transition felt seamless, and the support we?ve received?both personally and professionally?has been incredible. What stood out immediately was how well our agents were treated. They weren't just welcomed?they were embraced. The tools, training, and personalized support Keyes provides have empowered our team in ways we never imagined. More than that, there?s a genuine culture of care here. Our agents feel seen, appreciated, and fully supported every step of the way. As for us, Sherry and I couldn?t be happier. Keyes has not only honored every commitment?they?ve gone above and beyond. Our only regret? We wish we would have made the move years ago! If you?re considering a partnership with Keyes, we can tell you firsthand?it?s more than just a smart business move. It?s a chance to be part of something bigger, with a team that truly has your back. ? Barry & Sherry Grooms Proudly part of The Keyes Company”

“If you are reading this testimonial letter, then you are seriously considering joining the top real estate brokerage in Florida. I was the broker-owner of Coral Shores Realty from November 2000 until July 2024, until I made the decision to merge my real estate company with Keyes. At the peak of my company, we had over 1,000 real estate agents. Over time, my company diminished due to attrition and stiff competition to about 300 agents. My bottom line started to dry up. I was eaten alive by higher commission splits, salaries, rent, E&O insurance, and other operating expenses. It was a race to the bottom, and I seemed to be the last person getting paid. I decided to do something about my situation. I had given up almost 25 years of my life building my company and the last thing I wanted to do was shut it down after all my blood, sweat, and tears. I reached out Steven Reibel, SVP at the Keyes Company and requested a meeting. I met with him, Mike Pappas the CEO and Christina Pappas, the President. I knew immediately that I wanted to be associated with the Keyes Company. Like my company, they are a family-owned and operated business who have a 100-year real estate tradition. I love their warmth, sincerity, professionalism, structure, technology, support, on-going training and their host of supporting affiliates like title, mortgage, property management, insurance, relocation department, etc. Many of my agents were apprehensive at first but now thank me for merging with the Keyes Company. My only regret is that I did not do it sooner. If anyone would like to speak to me one-on-one, please feel free to contact me on my mobile phone, 954-868-6881 or by email at ronaldcika@gmail.com.”

“To Steve Reibel As long I have been considering joining with a larger, successful Real Estate company, Keyes was always at the top of my list. After over 3 years of discussions and contemplation, I did finally come to that decision. Basically my decision was based on the people who I have met over the last 3 years: the owners, Mike and Christine Papas, and Sr. VP Steve Reibel, as we have had so many conversations. It was obvious their values about business and family aligned with mine, which was so important to me. And the second most important part of this decision was what they could offer my company and the agents who are here with McCurdy & Co Realty. The many tools available, the trainings, the offices, the energy, and so much more. More than I even know yet. We have been with Keyes now for only 2 months, but our experience is that there are more than enough opportunities for all of us to use the many tools that Keyes offers to be successful. The people we have met who offer to train us or just answer a call or email, are top-notch and so happy to help us. We look forward to many years of success with the Keyes company.

“I started a discussion with Steve Reibel about the possibility of my company, Novus Realty, joining forces with Keyes about ten years ago. At that time, I was not ready as my company was growing, and I was enthusiastically enjoying the challenges of managing my own brokerage. I remember at that time Steve told me: ?you never know what the future has in store, let?s keep in touch?. And we have been in touch since then. I?ve received offers from other firms, including big national brands. But I wanted to keep the personal relationship I have with my agents, the essence of a solid team. Once I met Mike Pappas and his daughter Christina, I immediately made a connection. It is like I?ve known them forever. It has taken me time, but I finally decided to join Keyes because it is an independent and family-oriented company. I thought it was going to be more difficult, but with more than 100 mergers and acquisitions under his belt, Steven has guided me through the whole process in a smooth and efficient way. When we had our first sales meeting after the merger, I was very happy as I looked at the faces of my 25 agents and saw how they were enjoying all the new tools and services. I am more convinced now that Keyes was the right decision. During the presentation to the agents, I mentioned one African proverb that has always resonated with me: if you want to be fast, go alone. But if you want to go far, go together. I know that together with Keyes, my agents and myself, we will go far. We will reach the next level in our professional career in this amazing industry called Real Estate.”

“Dear Steven, I am proud to be a part of the Keyes Company family. Everything you promised from day one back at the end of October until we completed the merger you delivered over and beyond. After meeting with many, many firms over the last few years and peeling back the onion on every firm I unconditionally concluded that the Keyes Company, their culture, their family atmosphere, their cutting-edge technology, their support, their resources were way above all the other firms that I met with. Your sincerity was definitely an inspiration for me and my family as we were looking for a long-term partnership. My 60+ agents who produced over $150 million last year are super excited about all the above great things the Keyes Company has to offer. My experience dealing with you, the Pappas family, Joanie, and all other Keyes associates and employees have been great. I feel that other Brokers in my situation would greatly benefit from joining the Keyes Company in this changing Real Estate market. I would talk with anyone regarding my experience with everyone at the Keyes Company at any time. Best Regards, Ari Albinder Broker Associate 561-702-0413 mobile”

“About two years ago, Steve Reibel was out viewing a Zeuner Realty listing and casually mentioned that he was the vice-president of mergers and acquisitions with The Keyes Company. At that time, we had no thoughts of merging or selling Zeuner Realty, but nevertheless, the seed was planted. During the following week, we discussed the idea and thought why not and placed a call to him. Within a few weeks of discussions, Keyes made us an offer. As part of our due diligence, we contacted three other large brokerage firms in town; however, none portrayed the honesty and caring attitude that Steve did. Remember, we wanted to protect all of our agents as part of the merger. In keeping with our business philosophy, we wanted to join a company that treats agents like family. Based on all of our conversations, we knew that the Keyes organization would provide us with the substantial support we desired. Keyes seemed to treat their agents like we did and were eager to contribute to their success. We quickly learned of the wealth of knowledge that Keyes offered to their agents and knew that if we were going to proceed with a merger that they were the ones for us. Ultimately, we decided not to merge at that time and continued to operate as Zeuner Realty. A little more than a year later, we started considering the ongoing changes to the real estate industry. Our concerns included how technology and the access to modern technology on a large scale was going to influence the future of sales and listing processes and the many unknowns during the early stages of the COVID pandemic was going to affect how business is going to be done As a result, we re-considered if it was time to merge and knew the only person to call was Steve Reibel at Keyes. After a few months of virtual negotiations, we came to an agreement and on June 1, 2020, opened our doors as Keyes Realty. Joan Richardson (Sales Manager) enabled the transition to go very smoothly and hassle-free. Keyes only wanted our realtors to be happy. The training and orientation to Keyes? extensive resources and technology was a benefit to all of agents and has proven to be very successful. There is an attitude of caring and professionalism at every level of management and throughout Keyes' Affiliated Services. Bottom line is that The Keyes Company lived up to everything they promised to do and then some . We have no regrets of our decision to be part of this company. Thank you Steve and Joanie!!

“Hello Steve, We want to personally thank you for assisting us with the merger of our company to Illustrated Properties. After speaking with many different Real Estate Companies, your experience and professionalism was very comforting with one of the biggest decisions in our lives. We felt like you were honest, sincere and we had known you for many years! Also, after meeting Mike Pappas he was captivating and had true vision and focus! We compared the benefits and culture of other Real Estate Companies to your company and found it was an easy decision to join the Keyes Illustrated Team. The abundance of marketing tools, office locations, history of the company and the largest company in Florida would benefit the agents and ourselves. The merger process was organized, simple and easy. The Keyes Illustrated family has been so welcoming to our team from the beginning of the process to the end. Starting from the top Executives, the Administrators and the Real Estate Agents in the office who couldn?t have been more helpful and supportive. Lastly, we are thrilled to be with the #1 independent brokerage firm in Florida and ecstatic that we are with a company that treats their agents like people and not like a number! Thank you again for all your kindness and support! Sincerely, Bob Sauer and Mary Prince”

“In 2002, I founded The Real Estate Company, Inc. I worked long hours and my firm grew rapidly. Soon I had a high profile office location and 25 agents. I am so proud of that accomplishment! About 2 years ago, I began to think that it was time to consider either selling or merging my company. The reasons for this were that I found myself constantly dealing with management issues, monthly financial obligations, and trying to keep up with all of the changing technology. Although I have been approached by almost every major brokerage firm in Southeast Florida, I knew that I needed to choose a firm that would not only give my agents the opportunity to be more successful, but also be a fit with regards to the management style and atmosphere that my long time agents were accustomed to. We were not just a firm, but a family. After meeting with various brokerages, I realized that The Keyes Company would be the best choice. They have been family owned for 90 years and are the #1 independent real estate brokerage network in Florida, with 50-plus offices, and over 3,500 Realtors. Best of all, they offer the latest in technology and marketing. After an initial training class, one of my agents told me that ?I feel like I just traded my 2009 Ford Fusion for a brand new Corvette?. If you are considering merging your Brokerage firm, I strongly suggest that you consider The Keyes Company.”
