Bascom Grooms Real Estate

Bascom is a local. Bascom knows the market. And Bascom will be with you, there, 24/​7, when you’re buying a property.
I can say this from personal experience. When my wife and I moved to Key West, we rented at first. Thanks to local connections (from my job) we got Bascom’s name. He helped us navigate the market and find a dream home within our price range– which isn’t easy in this market.
With all the issues in Key West (taxes, permits, insurance, the differences between Old Town, Mid Town, and New Town) that come with buying a home, it helps to have someone who knows this market like the back of their hand. And there were times during the process when it just seemed like too much– and that’s when Bascom’s experience and good cheer were invaluable. Seriously– the guy answers his phone and texts anytime, day or night, any day of the week.
If you’re thinking of buying a home in Key West, there’s only one person you should call.

Bascom was great! He helped my friends purchase a condo in Old Town Key West and was highly recommended by them. I decided to work with him on with my 1^st purchase after meeting a few agents and just really clicked with Bascom. It was my 1^st home in the Keys and I could not be happier with him and his team (Lori & Meghan). He is a local so really knows the island. I wasn’t sure if I wanted Old Town or New Town and we looked at lots of places til I found the one. His advice in the offer process was great and I got the house. He has also helped me after the sale with contractor contacts and handy people recommendations. If you are looking for a real estate professional, I would call Bascom and meet with him. He is easy to get along with and really knows the insides of this unique market.

He is a small office, and we had trouble getting a response in a timely manor. Lori was often blamed for that failure, but seriously, Bascom himself has his name on the business. He sold a freind his house in New Town, and never mentioned the insurance rates were going up Oct first. the sale went through in August, and now our freind has a huge premium to pay. Bascom knew about this change, and never mentioned it during the sale.
I am definitely buying within the year, but not through Bascom Grooms.

Many thanks to Meghan Davis & Bascom Grooms who showed us properties so we’d have an idea of what’s available. They are professional, personable and knowledgeable. Their love of, and enthusiasm for, Key West is evident. Sadly, we’re not quite ready to buy (which they knew, and yet still spent lots of time with us), but now we know what we want and can afford. And, finally, Meghan is an awesome mom. Maybe doesn’t have anything to do with real estate, but goes to character!

I would like to take this time to thank Bascom and Lori for helping us on the purchase of our condominium in Key West.
I found Bascom from an ad in one of the magazines. After talking to Bascom at length, he agreed to send us information back home until we found something of interest.
I was pleased with the local knowledge Bascom has with Key West, he is a Key West native and not just another «transplant Realtor». Bascom knows all the «nooks and crannies».
Upon finding a property, the process was fast and painless. Again with his local knowledge, we contracted and closed in record time!
It is with pleasure that I would like to recommend Bascom Grooms Real Estate to help you with all of your Real Estate needs.

I want you to know how grateful we are for all your help over the past 12 months. Buying a second home, even in the best of times, is filled with anxiety. In today’s market, it’s doubly so.
You were positive and supportive throughout, from the beginning stages of searching out homes to the final stages of closing. You kept in constant communication with us, which was very comforting. While some realtors say they give good service and really work for you, no one could have worked harder for their client than you.

Best company in Key West!!! They helped me find a rental and then buy my first house and later buy/​sell my 1^st investment property in Old Town. Bascom and his team are honest, always available to answer questions, and go above and beyond for their clients. I send all my snowbird friends and local friends looking for Key West and the lower keys to Bascom Grooms Real Estate because they are so wonderful.
is their facebook page with great info on events and real estate which we like too.
