Fort Lauderdale, FL– The Keyes Company, Florida’s largest independent real estate brokerage, added a dynamic real estate firm to its consistently growing portfolio. 

Miramar-based Novus Realty is joining Keyes, bringing its real estate brokerage and property management divisions to the firm’s Family of Companies.

 Founded by Victor Taurizano in 2011, Novus Realty has more than 30 Associates and employees and generates about $40 million in annual transaction volume. Its property management division oversees about 50 properties. 

Taurizano is also an experienced developer and will bring that experience to Keyes’ development division as part of his role with Keyes.

Keyes will operate Novus’ existing Miramar location at 12280 Miramar Blvd. as a new Keyes office, with Maria Elena Arias of Keyes set to lead it. Arias has more than 25 years of experience as a top producer and in management.

 Novus developed and managed the plaza that the office is located in. Keyes Property Management will take over management of the plaza and the rest of Novus’ management portfolio.

 “After building Novus Realty from scratch into a formidable and versatile real estate firm, the time was right to pursue this strategic partnership,” Taurizano said. 

“Keyes is the perfect partner for Novus, given its family owned and entrepreneurial nature, independence, marketing and incredible technology.

"To quote an African proverb I often cite, ‘If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.’”

 Born in San Pedro, Argentina, Taurizano always had a passion for building, creating and problem solving. That led to him earning a bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering and master’s degrees in Telecommunications and Business Administration before moving to the U.S. in 2001. 

Taurizano became fluent in four languages (Spanish, English, Portuguese and Italian) while traveling the world for business.

 Taurizano is a licensed real estate broker in Florida and Arkansas. He also holds active CAM (Community Association Management) and mortgage broker licenses in Florida.

For Keyes, the Novus addition continues its long-term approach of selectively targeting boutique brokerages to acquire and integrate into the firm. In June 2022, 

Keyes added Skye Louis Realty to bolster its presence in Broward and Palm Beach counties. Led by Jud Henry, Skye Louis has more than 140 agents and produces an annual volume exceeding $200 million.

“Novus is another tremendous firm to welcome to the Keyes Family of Companies,” Keyes Senior Vice President Steven Reibel said. “We remain focused on strategic and multi-faceted growth in South Florida, the Treasure Coast and in select West Coast markets. 

"That sometimes includes acquisitions of boutique firms that share our core values emphasizing customer service, integrity, family and philanthropy.”
