Roger Pettingell Sets the Pace for Luxury Real Estate Sales

SARASOTA (May 19, 2016)– Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate’s Roger Pettingell of the company’s Longboat Key office has already surpassed the $40 million mark in year-to-date sales volume, reaching  57% of his total 2015 sales just four and one-half months into the year. Pettingell is pacing almost $10 million1 in sales volume ahead of this time last year. His sales volume through May 16, 2016 was $42.786 million2 with 38.5 sales transactions, compared with his total sales in 2015 of $74.08 millionwith 62 sales transactions3.

”The market has been particularly strong in the first quarter, and is becoming much more balanced, which means Sellers and Buyers have equal negotiating power.  This generally means a slower pace, but is healthier than the huge swings we have seen in recent years,” said Pettingell.  “The $1 million to $2.5 million market was robust early in the year, particularly for condominiums.  There was a lot of activity in the highly desirable single family neighborhoods like Bird Key and Harbor Acres, while the over $5 million market saw several notable sales.”

Pettingell has already qualified for Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate’s Legends Society, an award given to Florida sales associates who reach the highest level of sales production. He is the first individual sales associate within Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate to achieve the milestone this year.  

“It takes an exceptional support team to achieve this level of success. We keep expanding our customer service staff, which allows me to do what I do best -- working directly with clients. It is my pleasure working with buyers and sellers to list and show their properties, developing strategic marketing plans and negotiating. My support team does everything else,” said Pettingell.

Pettingell closed on several multi-million dollar listings this spring including 1201 Hillview Drive for $5.25 million, and two in Longboat Key’s Water Club: one for $3.285 million and another for $2.79 million. 

A dedicated family man with a wife and two young boys, Pettingell makes being an active member of the Sarasota community a top priority. He loves Sarasota and all that it offers, and is an active philanthropist. He sits on the board of directors for the West Coast Black Theatre Troupe and Southeastern Guide Dogs, and supports Sarasota Adopt-A-Family, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Suncoast, Forty Carrots, the Child Protection Center and the American Red Cross. Pettingell is an advocate of Girls Inc., and was awarded the 2010 Father of the Year Award by the organization.
