Roger Pettingell, navigating through the tumultuous waters of the 2020 Sarasota housing market, faced unparalleled challenges brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet, with his title as the preeminent Coldwell Banker agent in Florida and his rank as the nation's fourth foremost real estate agent, he exemplified adaptability and perseverance. His tireless commitment saw him achieve a landmark individual sales volume of $175.6 million, making him the top realtor across Sarasota and Manatee counties. His philanthropic endeavors match his professional accolades. He has consistently championed local charities for over a decade, leaving indelible marks on institutions such as the Child Protection Center, Forty Carrots, John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art, Southeastern Guide Dogs, and the West Coast Black Theatre Troupe.

Away from the high-paced world of real estate, he immerses himself in familial joys at his Bird Key home. Alongside his wife, he revels in the athletic pursuits of their sons, Jake and Max, often seen rooting for them at tennis tournaments under the balmy Florida sun. Their family circle is completed with Finn, their playful one-year-old yellow Labrador Retriever. Besides his property expertise, Roger boasts a passion for technology, constantly exploring innovative avenues to infuse into his business. Over his illustrious 36-year career in real estate, he has overseen luxury property transactions amounting to over $2 billion in Sarasota and Manatee Counties. This trajectory has solidified his position as a recurrent top contender for Coldwell Banker Realty. The accolades showered upon him in the recent dozen years are especially remarkable. REAL Trends has lauded him, clinching top positions as the leading real estate figure in distinguished areas such as Longboat Key, Bird Key, and Sarasota.
