Emily Strain’s story in real estate begins long before her career, it begins with a childhood deeply rooted in the Florida Keys lifestyle. Born and raised in the Keys, Emily experienced a way of life that few can truly claim. Her upbringing was shaped by the water, the community, and the unique rhythm of island living.
As a true “Conch,” Emily brings an authentic, lived understanding of the Keys that goes far beyond market knowledge. Her perspective is built on decades of firsthand experience, growing up exploring local waters, fishing, boating, and spending her days immersed in the outdoors. As the daughter of a boat captain, much of her childhood revolved around the ocean, with afternoons often ending at the docks instead of a typical bus stop.
These experiences naturally evolved into a passion for helping others find their place in the Keys. Whether guiding buyers toward a vacation retreat or helping families establish permanent roots, Emily is deeply committed to matching her clients with not just a property, but a lifestyle. She also holds a strong appreciation for the local community and understands the challenges residents face in a market often driven by luxury and vacation demand. Supporting local buyers and helping them navigate these challenges remains especially meaningful to her.
Emily specializes in residential real estate, where she finds fulfillment in guiding clients through one of the most significant financial decisions of their lives. Her approach is rooted in service, strategy, and results. On average, Emily has earned her clients significantly more than competing agents by achieving near list-price sales and reducing time on market, delivering both value and efficiency.
Her dedication and performance have earned her recognition among the top-producing agents in the Keys, placing her within an elite group of professionals based on production. Through her affiliation with Coldwell Banker Schmitt Real Estate Co., Emily continues to refine her expertise, taking advantage of ongoing education, industry seminars, and a strong professional network.
With a lifetime of local knowledge, Emily offers her clients a distinct advantage, guiding them to the right neighborhoods based on their lifestyle, whether that means proximity to boating, fishing, diving, or simply finding the perfect setting for family life or retirement.
For Emily, real estate is more than transactions, it’s about helping people create a life in a place she has always called home.
