Southwest Florida continues to grow as one of the nation’s most desirable destinations for luxury homes, second residences, and coastal property investments. With that growth comes a rising need for trusted oversight: someone who understands the local landscape, manages complex construction timelines, and protects a homeowner’s investment from start to finish.


Today, I’m proud to announce Allenby on the Keys, a refined brand dedicated to providing owner’s representative services and construction project management for high-end residential properties across Longboat Key, Lido Key, Casey Key, Siesta Key, Sarasota, and the greater Southwest Florida region.

With over 25 years of experience guiding clients through custom home builds, large-scale renovations, and multi-phase improvements, my role has always been the same:to ensure your vision is executed flawlessly—on time, on budget, and to the highest standard.


Why an Owner’s Representative Matters in Southwest Florida

The Southwest Florida construction market is dynamic, fast-moving, and heavily specialized. Between coastal building requirements, hurricane codes, supply chain variability, and seasonal labor cycles, even straightforward projects can become complex without the right oversight.


A dedicated owner’s representative in SWFL provides essential support by:

1. Protecting Your Investment

From contract review to invoice validation and material verification, an owner’s rep ensures that every dollar is accounted for and aligned with your goals.

2. Ensuring High-Quality Construction

Luxury homes demand precision. I work directly with builders, trades, architects, and inspectors to ensure the craftsmanship matches the design intent.

3. Maintaining Clear Communication

Many clients live out of state or travel frequently. I keep you fully informed with consistent updates, documentation, scheduling, and progress reports.

4. Managing Timelines & Logistics

The Keys and barrier islands can present unique access, permitting, and environmental challenges. Local experience helps keep work moving smoothly.

5. Reducing Stress Throughout the Build

Your home should bring peace of mind—not worry. My role is to handle complexities while you focus on the enjoyment of your new or renovated space.


Introducing Allenby on the Keys

This new brand reflects a long-standing commitment to discretion, transparency, and excellence in construction oversight. With a focus on high-end custom homes and luxury renovations, Allenby on the Keys offers:


• Owner’s Representative Services

Full advocacy throughout the entire project lifecycle—planning, budgeting, contractor coordination, quality control, and close-out.

• Construction Project Management

Hands-on leadership to ensure timelines, trades, materials, and site activity all align to keep your project moving efficiently.

• Select Real Estate Services

Assistance with property evaluation, acquisition considerations, pre-construction planning, and identifying opportunities for value and longevity.

• Coastal & Barrier Island Expertise

Specialized experience across Longboat Key, Casey Key, Lido, Siesta, and surrounding coastal areas—each with its own permitting, environmental, and construction requirements.


A Local Perspective Rooted in Southwest Florida

I’ve had the privilege of working on some of SWFL’s most distinctive homes. My approach is based on long-term relationships with trusted builders, architects, and craftsmen who share the same commitment to quality.

As a resident of Southwest Florida myself, this work is personal. I understand the level of trust it takes to hand over the keys—literally and figuratively—to your home. My promise is simple:your vision, protected every step of the way.
