The location of The Realty Pros office at 8788 West Boynton Beach Boulevard within the Canyon Town Center brings significant strategic value to Keyes. West Boynton Beach is experiencing substantial growth and activity.
“We are thrilled to welcome The Realty Pros to the Keyes family,” said Keyes CEO Mike Pappas. “The Realty Pros team has substantial experience, top-notch professionalism and a true passion for real estate and serving the community.”
For The Realty Pros Founder Debra Simon, the transaction represents a full-circle moment following more than 30 years in the real estate industry. After initially obtaining her real estate license in 1985, Simon started her brokerage career with Keyes.
Simon also has a music background that she has parlayed into charity work throughout South Florida. She has spent countless hours performing and signing for residents at assisted living and Alzheimer’s facilities and veterans’ hospitals.

“As an independent company we are excited to find a firm that shares our personal approach, enthusiasm for real estate and overall core values,” said Simon. “We are also excited to leverage the leadership, marketing, resources and technology of Keyes to promote our properties. We know this will be a successful union.”
