Roger Pettingell Still Leads Among Realtors in Sarasota and Manatee Counties with a Sales Volume Over $50 Million in 2015

Sarasota, FL, July 19, 2015 --(PR.com)-- Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate’s Roger Pettingell is the top sales associate across all real estate companies for the first half of 2015 in Sarasota and Manatee counties with a total closed sales volume with $50.6 million and 40 sales transactions. He has sold 110 properties over $1 million in the past five years and has more listings over $1 million in Sarasota County than any other agent during that time period. Pettingell is also the number one Realtor® in Sarasota and Manatee counties by sales volume. He has been the number one Realtor in Sarasota and Manatee counties for the past five of seven years.

“The first half of 2015 was very strong, particularly among second home buyers. Their confidence in the market is extremely high, reinforced by the strength in the stock market and the decrease in prime properties available for sale,” said Pettingell.

His number one ranking is based on closed sales volume information from My Florida Regional MLS for the Sarasota and Manatee counties in all price ranges as reported on July 14, 2015 for the period of January 1 to July 13, 2015 and is calculated by multiplying the number of buyer and/or seller sides by sales price. MLS data is deemed reliable but not guaranteed.

Pettingell recently completed his 53rd REALTALK™ video for his YouTube channel, in which he discusses market trends in the region’s luxury enclaves like Longboat Key, Bird Key, Anna Maria Island and Lido Key. His videos also feature interviews with some of the Sarasota’s business elite like Thomas Luzier of Dunlap & Moran, P.A., Mark Bolduc of Wicked Smart Homes, Amy Drake of Property Perspectives and Michael Mailliard of MIC Insurance.
