Sales Associate
Though I am a new Sales Associate with Keyes, and haven't known Ceil for that long, she is certainly one of the reasons why I decided to work with Keyes. Ceil is a real estate guru and the passion she demonstrates in her role is contagious! She inspired me as the intelligent, dynamic, and vivacious lady that she is to trust my own instincts with starting a new chapter in my life in the real estate world. Ceil is a true asset to Keyes. I look forward to a long and flourishing working relationship with her for years to come!

Steven Reibel
Former Broker/Owner Novus Realty
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,

When first deciding on what brokerage I wanted to work with as a newly licensed agent, I knew I would get a feeling from the managing broker that would make me feel like this is where I am supposed to be. Phil did that for me! He met with me and instantly made me feel like I would be supported. Phil is very knowledgeable and has given great insight into the business. I am so glad I have been given the chance to work with someone as great as Phil!

Before joining The Keyes Company I was interviewed by other organizations in the business.
I was interviewed by Phil Talbert at The Keyes Company, I was so impressed with Phil and the organization, I decided to join the company.
Coming from a financial background and new to the business, I could not have asked for more information.
Phil takes the time to explain the process in detailed, providing the pros and cons.
He did not hesitate to answer my questions with honesty and clarity.
A great manager to work for, with an amazing personality.
I wish continued success for a great person Phil Talbert.

Phil is nothing short of AMAZING. The reason I chose to hang my license with The Keyes Company is because of him. Just our initial conversation was easy, and he made me feel as though I was just going to be lost in a sea of other agents. He has been instrumental in helping me build my business and is always there to help me when I need him. He has instilled a level of confidence in me, and I am so grateful for him. Keyes is BLESSED to have Phil. Thanks for being you, believing in me and helping me along the way!!!!

It took me a couple months to choose where I wanted to be as an associate. I interviewed several companies and did a lot of research. Jennifer was so inviting and I felt like I already belonged at Keyes Wellington. I was invited to come to Team meetings, Guest Speakers, training and I just kept coming back. There was a true connection right from the very start.

Jennifer continuously feeds the positivity building the team up every day, Her knowledge and ability to create a learning environment is unsurpassed! There’s nothing she won’t do to help us all succeed. Dialing for dollars, she says bring your list, if you’re not comfortable, I’ll make the calls with you until you are! What a Gem! We are a family here at Keyes Wellington. A true Team! She sets the tone for her favorite motto: Together Everyone Achieves More! I’m so grateful to be in the company of these fabulous people. This is a change of career for me and in no way do I feel alone or inexperienced. Thank you so much Jennifer and Team Wellington!

A short while ago I described her as a dream manager however she far surpassed my very first impression and expectations. She is STELLAR! There is not a day that goes by that she does not make you feel special! She truly wants you to succeed. Jennifer makes you feel you can accomplish anything you put your mind too. Jennifer is an amazing mentor and she brings 22 years of experience with her. She is so willing to share and teach from that experience. That also makes her very special. She always makes herself available to you. Every conversation with her is a learning experience if you take away the pearls.
There is always a smile on her face and she is always approachable. She will stop what she is doing to help you.

Jennifer is a wonderful manager, leader, and mentor. She takes great pride in creating a fun and productive working environment, and really goes the extra mile to help when she can. Whether it's taking calls on a Sunday night, helping put together a CMA for a listing presentation, or whatever else, Jennifer is not afraid to do the hard work. Personally, the encouragement I receive from her helps my day to day business much more than I'm sure she imagines.

Jennifer is a great mentor. She is very knowledgeable in the real estate area and loves to teach. The greatest advice that I've learned from her so far is that every realtor has different approaches to become successful and each of us needs to find that niche. I haven't been in this office for a long time, but I can confidently say that Jennifer is a great manager, always ready to help and mentor. Despites, she has a great personality and charisma.

Sales Agent
I’m a newly licensed agent and leaving a 25+ year career in luxury retail. I have actually interviewed with 8 different real estate brokers for 8 different companies. And I can not emphasize enough on how valuable training is for a new agent, as well as the connection with your manager/broker! Well after meeting the 8 the only clear choice was to sign with Jennifer Schillace with Keyes Co in the Wellington office. The connection with Jennifer was instant when I first met with her, her energy, enthusiasm and smile are infectious! I have been welcomed into the office family with open arms! I haven’t even began my Keyes training and I’ve already learned so much from Jennifer and my incredible trainer/mentor Stephanie Gagnon! If you’re new in the industry or just getting started take it from me, it’s the best office and company to join, hands down! Trust me I took my time and researching and this is the best decision ever!
