Theo Glorie…  Creating Community The journey to Mile Marker 0 was not just any adventure. Theo and wife Diane had just sold their home and business in Southern California and were now on a mission; travel the US via road-trip, visualize their new business plan, and find the community that best fit their dream. Not an easy task, the ingredients meant discovering a village rich in culture, history, art, and a town that embraced new businesses and ideas. Theo grew up in a small hamlet in the north-west part of Holland where walking, riding a bicycle, and knowing the local business owner was a way of life. Theo is one of seven children whose parents instilled the ideals of preserving tradition, loving family, and respect for others, which are essential elements when living in a tight- knit community. “It just happened,” recalls Theo. “We found a home right away, a cozy cottage located at the end of a lane in Old Town Key West.”  A place where historical homes, museums, art studios, and even a marina were a five minute walk.  Then he found his business location, an old Conch House, this was perfect for his idea, he remembers. This was a great space that he could convert into a gathering place. It would be the social hub for the community while offering the island’s visitors and locals a refreshing cold drink, delicious cup of coffee, and place to share ideas and converse. A spot to exchange opinions on the island’s art exhibits, local happenings and even political punditry.  A site where he could truly help create the community he envisioned.  Hence, Coffee Plantation was born. Theo’s passion for Key West is apparent and productive. To name a few, he spearheaded the restoration and continued service of the Schooner Western Union, helped create the Caroline Street Business Association, and was instrumental in the clean up efforts of neighboring Wisteria Island. Theo’s same dedication is prevalent in his real estate business.  Noticeable is his relentless drive and commitment in helping his clients achieve the needs and goals they desire when buying or selling real estate. Theo’s promise to provide property and contractual expertise with due diligence for every real estate deal defines the professionalism he delivers to every client. Theo’s focus is helping clients who understand the unique importance and differentiation of buying, selling, and managing a vacation home or investment property.

Dear Theo, I know this is a little unconventional but it hits the bullet points of what makes a realtor successful. If you would rather I rewrite it in a more formal way, I will. Let me know. xoxo Simone My husband and I originally met Theo at Coffee Plantation where we enjoyed our morning coffee. Over several visits, we asked many questions about the real estate in Key West. Theo was very knowledgeable, as he has lived in Key West many years. As a local business owner and member of HARC, Theo is dialed in to Key West life. When we decided to look for a home in Key West, there was no question that Theo would be our realtor. He patiently listened to what we were looking for, and quickly scheduled appointments to fit our schedule. Theo was always on time, very professional and courteous. Even though we revised our search criteria a few times, Theo would always carefully listen, and then recommend additional properties. Once we found the home we wanted to make our own, Theo's excellent level of service continued throughout the entire contract period. He was very responsive to our calls and questions. If he didn't have an immediate answer, he would get back with us the same day. After moving into our new home, we consider Theo to be our friend as well as our realtor. Theo's excellent communication and friendly demeanor really helped the purchase go smoothly. We love our new home. Thank you Theo!!
