The winners are in, and The Keyes Company in South Florida, along with several other Florida-based real estate firms, has taken top honors in the 2019 QE Awards. The Keys Company was recognized as being among the top five large companies – those with a minimum of 3,000 closed transactions – in 2018.

The results, presented by Quality Service Certification, Inc. and Leading Research Corporation, are determined after conducting an independent survey of every closed transaction for the calendar year.

“The QE Award is based upon the aggregated percentage of very satisfied and satisfied returned surveys of real customers where every past customer has been surveyed without selectivity, editing, deletion, cleansing or manipulation,” Larry D. Romito, chairman and CEO of Quality Service Certification, Inc. said in an email.

The Keyes Company wasn’t the only winner in Florida. Several Florida-based companies made the top 30 small companies list for companies with total transactions between 120 and 1,000 for the year. They include: RE/MAX Select, Orviedo; Real Living 1st Choice Realty, Coral Springs; Real Living Casa Fina Realty, Tampa; Real Living Palm West Home Realty, Inc., Palm Coast; and SaraBay Real Estate, Sarasota.
