Utah Key Real Estate, LLC

Ellis has been licensed since 1998 and works St. George along with Santa Clara, Ivins and Washington, serving buyers, sellers and investors. Utah Key is a Utah brokerage headquartered on the Wasatch Front, and the St. George office is its Washington County branch rather than its main location.

Statewide firm, local desk

Firms headquartered up north opened southern offices as Washington County grew, and Utah Key Real Estate is one of them. The practical effect for a client is a larger agent network to refer within — useful if you are selling in Salt Lake and buying in St. George, or the reverse, which is one of the most common moves in this market — with local agents handling the transaction itself.

Where the office sits

St. George spreads across several benches and river bottoms, and an address in the city says less about a firm’s territory here than it would in a denser market. Of the communities covered on this site, Foremaster Ridge, Middleton and Stone Cliff lie nearest.

Nightly rental is a zoning question first

Short-term rental is not a decision the owner gets to make on their own in most of this county. St. George permits nightly rental only in specific zones and in developments approved for it; elsewhere it is prohibited regardless of what an owner, a listing or a previous tenant says. Springdale, Ivins and Washington each set their own rules, and an HOA can forbid it even where a city allows it. If income is part of why you are buying, verify the zoning before the due diligence deadline — any agent at Utah Key Real Estate, LLC can pull it. Start with St. George vacation rental zoning.
