Stephen Keen

Hello, I am Steve Keen, a graduate of the United States Air Force Academy (BS) and Golden Gate University (MBA). Originally from Massachusetts, I am a 30-year Air Force Veteran and have been licensed to practice real estate since June 2005.   As a military member, my wife and I bought and sold homes each time we moved.  In addition, we acquired several rental properties during my career.  When I decided to retire in July 2005, we elected to remain in the Tampa area and move our real estate holdings to the local area.  I got my license so that I could properly manage my own investment properties; and help others buy, sell, lease, or lease out their own homes.  I have personally been a buyer, seller, renter, and owner of real estate both for myself and as an investor. I have personally done 1031 tax free exchanges and enhanced my Individual Retirement Account (IRA) returns through the use of Self-Directed IRAs in real estate investments.  As such, I feel I am highly qualified to help others with their real estate needs.  I have sold homes from Tampa to Lakeland and from Wesley Chapel to Ruskin.  I have experience in short sales, with foreclosures, with first time home buyers, and with investment real estate.  I am also a Property Manager.  For my Buyers, my motto is Right Property…Right Place…Right Time…Right Price.  I build my business by word of mouth and that means that Customer Service is number ONE in my book.  If I treat you RIGHT, you will come back to me again and you will refer me to others!  I have three grown children and have been married to the same woman for over 40 years and I have NO idea why she has stayed with me this long!!  If I am not on the golf course, working out, or on a vacation, I am serving my clients and customers and striving to be the best Realtor and Property Manager that I can be.  Let me HELP YOU with your real estate situation.  If I do not have the answer, I will find one!!
