Sarasota Realtor Roger Pettingell Tops $206 Million in Property Sales in 2021

For the 11th consecutive year, real estate agent Roger Pettingell has topped the list for luxury property sales in the Sarasota region, in this case beating his record $175 million sales volume for 2020 by more than $25 million. This is in addition to his lifetime sales total of more than $2 billion in transactions achieved over the course of his more than three decades in the real estate business. Pettingell says that in that time, he’s learned invaluable lessons about selling luxury properties, some of which he’s able to pass on to prospective buyers and sellers.

Pettingell attributes part of his recent success to his skill in generating buyer interest in luxury listings, a skill he says his experience as a real estate agent has honed.

Roger Pettingell suggests that you need a better real estate agent more these days; what you really want in an explosive market is an introduction for each listing. There are already people out there looking and want to get the largest number of buyers, at the best possible price and the best terms for the seller.

Because the COVID-19 pandemic is still ongoing, Pettingell contends that now more than ever, sellers should seek out the services of a nationally and internationally connected brokerage company, such as Coldwell Banker Realty. Roger Pettingell sits on the firm’s International Luxury Alliance Network, a group of luxury property agents located across Europe and the United States.

Roger Pettingell insists that too many real estate brokers still rely on old-school tools and devices to market their listings, whereas he says he’s always been quick to adopt new technology and processes to cater to his target audiences. Even in the first years of his career as a real estate agent, Pettingell claims he was the first person in his office to have bought himself a personal computer to use for his business. These days, Pettingell constantly finds himself attending real estate technology seminars and conferences, and he’s an avid user of social media for communicating with potential buyers and sellers and advertising his listings. He also maintains a vlog that he calls REALTALK™ with Roger Pettingell to post extensive video listings of many of his properties.
