Ted Stewart | SL3548861
Known as “Key West Ted,” this nickname reflects Ted Stewart’s commitment to helping people live their best lives—starting with the right home. From engineering to social media influencer, flipping fixer-uppers to matching clients with their dream properties, Ted’s path to real estate was anything but conventional—but his commitment to helping others find their next chapter couldn’t be more clear.
Growing up, Ted was the kid who always said, “why not?” instead of “why.” Whether it was sports, race cars, or academic challenges, he dove into everything with curiosity and heart. But it was sales that truly shaped his professional core—from selling knives and Christmas trees to engineering sales and running his own business. Through it all, Ted learned that rejection builds resilience and saw true value where others might not.
Real estate ran through his veins long before it became his title. His weekends were spent hands-on with his parents, flipping homes and learning the trade one hammer swing at a time. That family foundation planted the seeds for what would become a remarkable career.
Everything changed the day Ted met Loren at a wedding in St. Augustine, Florida. An engineer like him—with a shared love for travel, cars, and creativity—Loren didn’t just become his partner in life, but in vision. Together, they began transforming rundown properties into architectural love letters, with each project more daring than the last. Their hobby of renovating properties became a lifestyle, spanning from condemned Florida properties to a hurricane-damaged gem in New Jersey.
Among their proudest projects? An 1820s farmhouse, lovingly restored into a “Rustic Romantic” retreat with over 8,600 square feet of charm on 7 acres. Once condemned, it went on to host weddings, music videos, and magical gatherings—a symbol of what’s possible with passion and patience.
When 2020 reshaped the world, it also reshaped Ted and Loren’s next chapter. Trading their farmhouse for new horizons, they explored living abroad—from Thailand to Italy—but ultimately followed their hearts to Key West.
There, they embraced yet another “project with potential.” Their current home features a Category 5 hurricane-tested thatch roof, handcrafted Moroccan lighting, African woodwork, a 14-foot vertical plant wall, and a stone tub carved in Bali. It’s not just a home—it’s a living, breathing statement of bold design and inspired living.
