Evelyn Framer

Ms. Framer created a real estate empire that began with dominance over the Miami Beach luxury market, and eventually expanded to all of South Florida. Ms. Framer accomplished this extraordinary feat through a mix of determination, hard work, ethical professionalism, and an appreciation for local history.

Ms. Framer earned her real estate license in 1969, and began her career working for Keyes Realty, where she became the number-one producer and sold the most expensive houses on Miami Beach year after year. In 1978, she established Framer Realty with a small team of associates which she considered her “extended family”, and the company became know as the finest luxury real estate boutique in Miami Beach. After an incredible 20-year run as an independent agency, Framer Realty was purchased by The St. Joe Company (which eventually became Coldwell Banker) in 1999.  Her market expertise eventually ranged from Key West all they way up through the Palm Beaches. Ms. Framer continued serving her clients and market until 2008 when, at the age of 89, she moved to Arizona to be with her family.
