Palm Beach County, Florida

When something breaks in Florida, someone answers

Property care and maintenance coordination for owners who don't live here. We manage our own Florida property from out of state — we know the 2 AM water heater call and the scramble to find a contractor who actually shows up. So we became that contact.

We are not a real estate brokerage. We don't lease your property and we never touch your rent. We're the people on the ground.

What We Handle

Everything physical about owning a Florida property from somewhere else — the calls, the vendors, the inspections, the documentation.

24/7 Emergency Response

One number, answered day or night. A real person, not a voicemail queue.

  • Water intrusion, AC failure, power, lockouts
  • Someone at the property, not on hold
  • Storm and hurricane preparation
  • You get a call and photos, not a surprise bill

Vendor Coordination

Licensed, insured contractors — scheduled, supervised, and documented. You pay them directly, at their price.

  • State license and insurance verified before any vendor touches your property, re-verified annually
  • Bids obtained and presented to you for approval
  • No markup, ever — we don't do the work ourselves, so we have nothing to inflate
  • HOA access, gate arrangements, and utility transfers handled

Inspections & Reporting

A dated photo record of every visit and every repair, so you can see your property without flying to it.

  • Scheduled interior and exterior walkthroughs
  • Dated photo documentation on every visit
  • Turn and make-ready coordination between tenancies
  • Seasonal work: AC servicing, shutters, water shutoff

What We Don't Do

Worth saying plainly, because most companies in this space won't.

Golden Key Estates is not a real estate brokerage. We do not advertise your property for rent, show it, screen applicants, prepare or sign leases, collect rent, or hold security deposits.

In Florida, every one of those requires a real estate license — and a company that does them without one is breaking the law. We don't. And we'd tell you the same thing about anyone else who offers to.

If you need leasing or rent collection, we'll point you to a licensed Florida brokerage and stay out of the money entirely. Your rent goes where it should, and we stay focused on the part we're actually good at: making sure someone competent is standing in your property when it matters.

How We Charge

A flat monthly fee per property. Priced on the property, not on your rent.

Flat monthly fee

Set per property, based on size, type, and how often we're there. Never a percentage of your rent.

No markup on repairs

You contract with and pay the contractor directly, at their price. We never touch the invoice.

No setup fees

No onboarding charge, no minimum term dressed up as a discount.

We Know What Remote Owners Deal With

It all began when we were managing our own rental property from out of state. One night, the water heater failed, and our tenants were left without hot water. We needed someone to act fast, but no one was available. That moment made it clear: reliable, hands-on property care was hard to find.

So we built it ourselves. We carefully vetted and built a network of licensed, insured contractors who show up when it matters. We created systems to stay ahead of maintenance, document every visit, and keep tenants comfortable — because that's what we wanted for our own property.

Today we bring that same level of care, urgency, and transparency to every property we look after. We kept the scope narrow on purpose. We're the boots on the ground — and we do that one job properly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Honest answers about what we do, what we don't, and what it costs.

What does Golden Key Estates actually do?

We look after the physical property for owners who don't live in Florida. That means 24/7 emergency response, coordinating licensed and insured contractors, scheduled inspections with dated photos, turn and make-ready work between tenancies, seasonal and hurricane preparation, and handling HOA access and utilities. If something needs a person standing in the property, that's us.

Do you rent out my property or collect rent?

No. Golden Key Estates is not a real estate brokerage. We do not advertise your property for rent, show it, screen applicants, prepare or sign leases, collect rent, or hold security deposits. In Florida all of those require a real estate license. If you need them, we'll point you to a licensed Florida brokerage and stay out of the money entirely.

How much does it cost?

A flat monthly fee per property, set on the size and type of the property and how often we need to be there — never a percentage of your rent. No setup fees. No markup on repairs. Send us the address and what you want covered and you'll get a flat number in writing.

Do you mark up repair costs?

Never. You contract with and pay the contractor directly, at their price. We coordinate the work, supervise access, and document it — we don't perform the work ourselves and we don't touch the invoice. That's deliberate: it means we have no financial reason to prefer a bigger repair over a smaller one.

Are your contractors licensed and insured?

Yes, and we check. We verify the state license and the certificate of insurance before a vendor touches your property, and we re-verify annually. Unlicensed work on a Florida property can void a claim and create liability for the owner — it isn't worth the savings.

How do you enter the property when a tenant lives there?

By the rules. Florida law requires at least 24 hours' notice for repairs and entry between 7:30 a.m. and 8:00 p.m., with an exception for genuine emergencies. We follow it every time. Your tenant is never surprised, and the record is clean if it's ever questioned.

What happens at 2 AM?

Your tenant calls one number and reaches a person. We assess, stop the damage, and get the right licensed trade out. You get a call and photos — not a surprise invoice three weeks later. Emergencies are the one case where Florida law allows entry without notice, and burst pipes and water intrusion are exactly why.

What areas do you serve?

Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Boynton Beach, Lake Worth, West Palm Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, Jupiter, Wellington, and Royal Palm Beach — throughout Palm Beach County, Florida.
