In Key West, a property is rarely just a building. For many owners, it is a second home, a long-term investment, a vacation-rental asset, and a guest experience all at once. Vladimir Prokhodnoy built his local work around that reality: helping owners, buyers, sellers, and guests make better decisions in one of Florida’s most distinctive island markets.

A local approach to real estate and owner support

Vlad is a Key West real estate professional with Expert Realty and the owner/operator of VP Properties of Key West LLC / Stay The Keys. His day-to-day work connects real estate sales, property management, short-term rental operations, guest communication, housekeeping coordination, maintenance follow-up, and practical owner education.

That combination matters because Florida Keys properties require local attention. Salt air, seasonal weather, guest turnover, limited contractor availability, parking, licensing questions, and changing owner goals can all affect the performance and condition of a home. Stay The Keys was built to give owners a local team that pays attention before small issues become expensive problems.

What Stay The Keys focuses on

Stay The Keys provides Key West and Florida Keys vacation-rental management with a clear owner-service model: a 15% management fee, inspections after every guest stay, 24/7 customer support, and access to housekeeping, maintenance, and engineering coverage. The goal is straightforward — protect the property, support guests, and keep owners informed.

The company’s hospitality work is also connected to local knowledge. Guests often need more than a door code; they need help understanding the island, planning transportation, booking activities, and getting fast answers when something changes. Owners need the same practical responsiveness on the property side.

Real estate guidance with an operator’s perspective

Vlad’s real estate work is strengthened by his property-care background. Buyers and investors in Key West often need to understand more than list price and square footage. They need to think about rental potential, maintenance planning, insurance, location, guest appeal, local rules, and long-term ownership costs.

For sellers and owners, that operator’s perspective helps with presentation, preparation, and clear communication. A well-managed property is easier to understand, easier to show, and easier for future owners or guests to trust.

Built around practical service

The Stay The Keys philosophy is simple: respond quickly, inspect consistently, communicate clearly, and treat every property like it matters. In a market as personal and competitive as Key West, that steady operational work is what creates better experiences for owners and guests.

For owners considering vacation-rental management, or for buyers and sellers who want a real estate advisor with local property-care experience, Vladimir Prokhodnoy and Stay The Keys offer a practical Key West perspective grounded in day-to-day work on the island.
