Debra Garrett

Born in Virginia, Debra moved to Sarasota in 1979 making Sarasota her home ever since.

With a decision, now over 30 years ago, Debra decided real estate was to be her career and focused on the skills she viewed necessary to help sellers and buyers make informed decisions by offering our area's diverse lifestyle choices available, current market trends in each segment including the local factors affecting pricing and ultimately, negotiation. When marketing a property for sale, the tried-and-true strategy starts with one-on-one customer consultation leading to effective staging, supporting her innovative marketing with the common goal to attract the best buyer in a preferred timetable. This is the key to capitalizing on today's market. Debra's successful track record is the product of a wealth of experience which gives her a solid understanding of the Sarasota/Manatee market. In our regional community, she has developed an extensive knowledge of Sarasota and Manatee's many waterfront and boating communities aided by her years on the water, boating along the Gulf Coast.

With over 20 years of commercial and retail development, she adds an extensive commercial capability in addition to her residential real estate background. This occurred by working closely with an extensive list of Fortune 500 companies and developers who develop retail, hotels and multifamily throughout Florida. She believes that straight-talk integrity, ethics, and great customer experience taken together, are the keys to success for any buyer or seller. You will find Debra an exceptional listener, detail oriented and always well prepared to meet her customer's needs, both Buyer and Seller.
