Keith Kernan

Brokerage Manager, Real Estate Professional

Growing up in Washington, DC ( Bethesda, MD ) and spending summers on the Jersey Shore in my family's summer home in Spring Lake instilled a true love of everything the Shore lifestyle has to offer. After college, I married a Jersey Girl (my wife of 28 years) - shortly after getting married and living in both Washington, DC and Annapolis, MD my wife and I decided to return to the Jersey Shore to make the Jersey Shore our primary residence. There was no better place to raise our 3 children, leveraging everything the Jersey Shore has to offer from bike rides to the beach, to walking our dogs, a French Bulldog 'Remy', a Blue Heeler 'Harken ( rescue ) and a Border Collie 'Blue' ( rescue ) in town or enjoying a beautiful afternoon boating in the Ocean or on the Barnegat Bay. We incorporate everything about the Jersey Shore into our daily lives. Members of several local yacht clubs, we have a passion for boating ( both power and sail ) and take every opportunity we can to be 'out on the water'.

On the nuts and bolts side of things, I have 20+ years of residential brokerage operations experience, including an extensive background in real estate finance, residential renovations and remodeling, in addition to a senior level corporate background in marketing, sales and operations. My highly experienced strategies offers a deliberate, well-balanced approach in representing clients, whether in a purchase or sale transaction. Maintaining an intimate knowledge of the market, and a superior approach to managing my client's best interests, along with global support from Sotheby's International Realty, assures clients guaranteed satisfaction in achieving their real estate objectives. Originally licensed in 1992, I returned to the business in 2004.

As the Managing Broker at Ward Wight Sotheby's International Realty since our affiliation with Sotheby's International Realty in 2005, one of my primary goals is to make sure our entire team provides the highest level of marketing, service and representation on behalf of our clients. We proudly maintain an impeccable reputation and continue to be the local market leaders in the primary markets we serve. I continue to be motivated and inspired by the talent of our extraordinary team - we are the best in the business, consistently raising the bar, yet humble enough to appreciate the efforts it took not only to get to where we are, but also know what continued efforts are required to stay ahead of our competition - we are often admired and imitated by others, but never duplicated - the WWSIR team is truly BEST IN CLASS!
