SARASOTA, Fla. – October 25, 2007 – Luxury real estate brokerage firm SKY Sotheby’s International Realty is pleased to announce that Robin Carr and Devon Davis join the company’s Lakewood Ranch office as sales associates.
This successful team comes to SKY Sotheby’s International Realty after many years as top producers with Re/Max Gulfstream Realty, and they boast over 20 years of combined experience. Carr specializes in luxury homes, waterfront properties and equestrian estates. Similarly, Davis’ focus is luxury homes and residential waterfront properties.
“I joined SKY Sotheby’s International Realty because of their reputation as a global real estate marketing company,” said Carr. “They already have an incredible presence in the industry for such a young firm.”
Davis has a similar sentiment. “I was looking for a progressive company with international status that could compete in the high-end luxury market,” she said.
Dedicated to employing only the best sales associates in the industry, SKY Sotheby’s International Realty requires that its agents meet the following criteria: be ranked in the top 10 percent of the local real estate board, have average real estate transactions of $750,000 or more and list at least 12 properties every year.
“We’re pleased to welcome this successful team to the company, and we greatly value their skills and expertise, said Chad Roffers, President of SKY Sotheby’s International Realty. “We’re committed to attracting this kind of high-caliber realtors.”
Prior to launching their real estate careers, Carr worked in the banking industry for 21 years, and Davis was employed in the marketing and sales industry for nine years. Armed with an extensive finance and real estate background, these Sarasota and Bradenton natives believe that whether you’re just starting out, raising a family, retiring or relocating a business, southwest Florida is the place to live.
Currently, the duo each has the following accreditations: Transnational Referral certification, Luxury Home Marketing Specialist certification and are members of the Certified International Property Specialist Forum. Both are also committed to the communities they serve and are active in organizations such as Junior Achievement, Children’s Miracle Network and various others.
