In 2020, Roger Pettingell faced one of the most unprecedented challenges of his career in the Sarasota-area housing market due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite these adversities, he showed remarkable adaptability as the top Coldwell Banker agent in Florida and the fourth-highest-ranking real estate agent in the entire country. Catering diligently to the needs of his clients, he set a personal milestone by closing an individual sales volume of $175.6 million. Such accomplishments elevated him to the position of the leading realtor in both Sarasota and Manatee counties. Beyond his exceptional professional achievements, he has a heart deeply embedded in community service. He has backed and been actively involved with several local charitable ventures. For eleven straight years, he's fervently supported causes like the Child Protection Center, Forty Carrots, John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art, Southeastern Guide Dogs, and the West Coast Black Theatre Troupe. Moreover, his commitment extends to organizations such as Adopt A Family, Big Brothers Big Sisters, and the American Red Cross.

Away from the bustling realm of real estate, he cherishes time with his family in Bird Key. Alongside his wife, he proudly watches their two sons, Jake and Max, participate in tennis tournaments under the radiant Florida sun. Their household is filled with joy, especially with the addition of their young yellow Labrador Retriever, Finn. On a personal note, he has a penchant for technology and is always looking to integrate the newest tech innovations into his thriving business. Roger's track record in the real estate is nothing short of stellar. With sales exceeding $2 billion in luxury properties across Sarasota and Manatee Counties, he has firmly positioned himself as a continual top performer for Coldwell Banker Realty. Boasting 36 years of industry experience, his accolades in the past dozen years alone are impressive.
