Locally rooted, coastally fluent.

More than a profession — a family legacy.

For Joanna Keskitalo, waterfront real estate is much more than a profession — it is a proud family legacy. Born in West Palm Beach and raised in Wellington, Joanna’s roots in the region run deep. Her father owned one of South Florida’s premier construction companies in the 1980s, shaping the local skyline through the construction of iconic properties like the Centurion building, Plaza del Mar, Sloan’s Curve, and Carlton Place. Today, Joanna feels a profound sense of purpose helping clients buy and sell luxury coastal properties in the very communities her family helped build, combining a lifetime of local memories with an intimate knowledge of the area’s evolution.

Selling the coastline her family helped build.

And selling is what she knows best. A licensed REALTOR® since 2006, Joanna has closed hundreds of homes and more than $185 million in sales over a multistate career — through fast markets and patient ones alike. That experience shows up where it counts: in pricing that holds, negotiations that stay calm, and contracts that actually make it to the closing table.

Behind that record sits an extensive, multi-faceted background in finance and construction. Before transitioning to real estate, she sharpened her financial acumen as a mortgage loan officer, giving her a sharp understanding of lending, underwriting, and the intricacies required to guide transactions smoothly from contract to closing. Joanna and her husband have also owned and operated a custom home building company for over two decades. This hands-on expertise allows her to offer invaluable insights into construction quality, renovation potential, insurance considerations, and long-term ownership costs, ensuring her clients make highly informed investment decisions.

Now back home in Palm Beach County raising her four sons, Joanna fully embraces the vibrant coastal lifestyle she has loved since childhood. Whether she’s spending the day with her family at Peanut Island, discovering a new waterfront café, exploring local antique shops for unique design inspiration, or showcasing South Florida’s hidden gems, she truly lives the lifestyle she shares with her clients. By partnering with Beach Homes Realty, Joanna combines a powerful, specialized marketing platform with hyper-local expertise, helping buyers and sellers confidently navigate the market while finding their own perfect place along Florida’s coast.
