100 Years Strong: The Pappas Family & The Future of Real Estate

In this episode of Real Estate Unscripted, Darryl sits down with Michael and Christina Pappas of The Keyes Company—Florida’s largest independent brokerage and a family business approaching its 100th year.

Michael shares wisdom from decades of leadership, carrying forward lessons from his father while navigating mergers, market shifts, and industry challenges. Christina brings fresh perspective as the fourth generation stepping into leadership, balancing tradition with innovation.

Together, they open up about:

• The values and culture that have kept The Keyes Company thriving for nearly a century.
• Navigating the Clear Cooperation Policy (CCP) and the NAR settlement.
• Shifting market realities and how agents can adapt beyond the “COVID hot streak.”
• Why homeownership is transformational—not just financial, but personal and generational.
• How family legacy, leadership, and community impact fuel their work every day.

Whether you’re an agent, broker, or leader, you’ll walk away with powerful insights on legacy, leadership, and creating a business built to last.
