Danielle’s success in Real Estate upon moving to Florida only floored and she quickly became named amongst the top 15% agents nationwide!

WE LOVE IT HERE! We are Joe and Wendy Kesslak, a husband and wife realtor team, proud members of the RE/MAX Alliance Group Family.

Over the course of the past 25 years, we have bought, sold, and invested in numerous properties on Siesta Key. We have since moved from our home in Western Pennsylvania to make Siesta Key our permanent home. With our passion for Sarasota and all of it’s charms, we were inspired to help others with their buying, selling, and investing needs.

They are dedicated to achieving the best results on behalf of their clients and are always willing to go the extra mile. Joining Compass Real Estate in October 2021, Toma continues to offer his clients a wealth of real estate experience. Toma began his real estate career while studying at the University of Western Ontario where he bought, sold, and managed several investment properties. He soon established himself in Manhattan’s real estate world after joining Edward Lee Cave, a boutique luxury real estate firm. He later joined Brown Harris Stevens where he made a name for himself as a top agent by achieving record prices for many of his clients. He has represented Fortune 500 clients and has a large network of international clients. Additionally, the Milbank team owns a staging company with over $300,000 in inventory which they use along with their inhouse designer/stager to help prepare listings. Having listed and sold over ten $10,000,000 to $20,000,000+ properties over the years and being well known for setting record prices in communities both known and new to them, their track record with sales is hard to match.

DEBRA GARRETT

Everyone deserves the extraordinary, because luxury is not about price— rather it’s about an experience. And when it comes to real estate, experience matters.®

BORN IN VIRGINIA , Debra moved to Sarasota in the 80s and has called it home ever since. Over 30 years ago, Debra decided to make real estate her career and focused on the skills she viewed necessary to help sellers and buyers make informed decisions. She did this by offering the Sarasota area’s diverse lifestyle choices available, current market trends in each segment, including local factors affecting pricing and negotiation. When marketing a property for sale, the tried-and-true strategy starts with a one-on-one customer consultation, which leads to effective preparation and staging. This supports Debra’s innovative marketing with the common goal to attract the best buyer in a preferred timetable. She believes 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. Within the region, she has developed considerable knowledge of Sarasota and Manatee’s many waterfront communities, aided by her years on the water and boating along the Gulf Coast.

With over 20 years of commercial and retail development, Debra provides an extensive commercial capability in addition to her residential real estate background. This occurred by working closely with a vast list of Fortune 500 companies and developers who develop retail, hotels and multifamily properties throughout Florida. She believes that straight-talk, integrity, ethics and great customer experience are the keys to success for any buyer or seller. Debra is an exceptional listener who is detail-oriented, tenacious and always well-prepared to meet her customers’ needs. For personal time, she loves the beach, boating, golf, working out at the gym and spending time with her family.
