DANIELLE DIETRICH, PA 2021 Coldwell Banker International President’s Elite 2022 Coldwell Banker Global Luxury Agent 2021, 2022 Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist Danielle Dietrich, PA, began her career in Real Estate in Brentwood (Los Angeles), CA in 2009, where she began working for The Solomon Team specifically as their Marketer, while creating and branding them at the highest National level. Danielle’s luxury real estate background began at a young age, right out of college, yet never intimidated her.

She won several awards in her 20’s and nothing was stopping her. In 2016, Danielle had made what she thought would be a hard decision, moving to Sarasota, FL to be closer to her parents who reside in Venice, FL and starting her career over from scratch in a new territory and on a different coast. Danielle’s success in Real Estate upon moving to Florida only floored and she quickly became named amongst the top 15% agents nationwide!

As she made the adjustment to beautiful Sarasota, FL Coldwell Banker Realty was the firm that would allow her to grow exponentially as she had done in CA, except this time individually not in a team atmosphere.

Danielle brought not only her Marketing and Advertising Degrees with her, but her strong work ethic along with her celebrity business management expertise from the most cut-throat industry in the US, Los Angeles, CA. Danielle’s highest priority has always been her clients.

She values her relationship with her clients and prides herself in guiding her clients to that close table successfully and making sure her clients trust in her every step of the way. The communication, support, services, and expertise that Danielle provides to her clients is of an elite status. The commitment she has to her clients shows in her numbers, in 2021 Danielle closed out over $22 million in sales and over 54 units; sent over $10 million pending for 2022 and has even closed over $5 million in the first month of the new year, January 2022! As the uncertainty of the real estate market builds, it is important to work with a luxury REALTOR® that has skin in the game, experience, elite negotiation skills and serves her clients whether it is buying, selling, or investing, Danielle’s passion to exceed her client’s expectations and commitment to serve each client with exceptional services is demonstrated by her results, ethics, and her in-depth local market knowledge of the Greater Sarasota real estate market. Danielle’s global connections set her apart from other agents and her exceptional guidance makes her invaluable to her clients. There is never a situation or a transaction that Danielle will not think outside the box and do all she needs to get the deal done. Locally she specializes in the Sarasota, Venice, Nokomis, LWR, AMI, LBK, Bradenton, Parrish, Palmetto and Englewood areas. Nationally throughout the entire US and yes, she is a Global real estate expert as well! She just sold brand new construction in the Dominican Republic and Mexico! Call Danielle to assist you with all your real estate needs, whether it is residential or commercial, Danielle specializes in both as an RCC and she assists all her clientele, both nationally and internationally.

bev murray Bev Murray believes that success in real estate is not simply a case of matching people to houses. In order to get the best outcome for both buyer and seller, the process should be clearly defined and executed from the outset.

Bev Murray has worked as a highly successful realtor in Sarasota since moving from the UK in 1999. Alongside sister company Murray Homes, she is responsible for over $400 million of real estate bought, sold and built in the area. Specializing in residential and vacant land purchasing and development sales, she is ranked in the top half of one percent of over 50,000 Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices agents nationwide.

Fluent in French and Spanish, Bev is a certified real estate negotiation expert (RENE), Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist® and a member of the National Association of Realtors and the Global Business Council.

Bev keeps a close eye on real estate marketing, technology and local market trends and is proud of Sarasota’s status as a leading destination for relocation, leisure and retirement.

Bev graduated with a Bachelor of Honors degree in Modern Languages and Marketing and a post graduate diploma in Retail Management from Manchester Metropolitan University, England. She worked in the United States, Europe and the UK for a blue-chip multinational corporation and then joined Michael Page International as a recruitment consultant for the BBC and other media and marketing organizations in central London. She lives north of downtown Sarasota in the museum area with her husband and three teenage sons. In her spare time she enjoys boating, running, playing tennis and serves as the president of the Sarasota High School soccer booster.

“There is no doubt that my role as a real estate agent has become even more important in the past 24 months. Clients rely on my knowledge and expertise in this highly pressurized, competitive market”.

carissa pelczynski Whether my client is buying or selling, my number one goal is to make the entire transaction as stress free as possible.

Carissa Pelczynski has built a reputation for providing exquisite customer service. Originally from Long Island, NY but tired of the cold weather, high taxes, and daily grind of NY life, Carissa, her partner Kevin and their four children took a leap of faith, packed up all of their belongings and headed to Sarasota in 2019. After looking at over 100 homes from Venice up to Lakewood Ranch and researching many neighborhoods and schools, they found the perfect home in Lakewood Ranch. Carissa refers to it as “the best decision we ever made.” Her extensive research of local schools and neighborhoods led her to pursue her dream career in real estate.

With the luxurious trendy appeal and their marketing being a step up from the competition, Carissa found her home as an agent at Preferred Shore Real Estate. In just two years at the firm, she boasts an impressive record: •

•

2020 Rookie of the Year— 2021 top associate in closed sales of $21,521,123.00 with over 40 homes sold.

To date in 2022—over 50 homes / 30 Million+ in pending contracts

When a client meets with Carissa for the first time, they will find that she is honest and upfront. Sometimes called “a workaholic” she will go above and beyond to find them the perfect home and hopefully, build lifelong friendships.

Buying or selling a home is always an emotional decision.

Carissa works to help her clients relocate to waterfront paradise as easily as possible and promises to be there with them every step of the way.
