Denise Conrad

RE/MAX Alliance Group Realtor Denise Conrad didn’t begin her career as a real estate agent – she was an international flight attendant. While these professions might not seem to share any qualities on the surface, her extensive travel experience was a great primer for Denise’s success in real estate. Her global understanding of diversity in culture and value systems enables her to be empathetic to each person’s specific needs. That’s why when you’re on an appointment with Denise you’ll rarely be interrupted by her cell phone ring. In the office, or on the road, it’s your file that’s always front and center. This ‘time blocking’ process she’s perfected allows her to provide you with her undivided attention. It’s also the reason why she’s one of the top Realtors at one of the most successful real estate firms in the State of Florida.

She started her real estate business in 2006 – the height of the real estate downturn. Still, she found a fair amount of success and entered into “Fast Start” – a four-month training program created by RE/MAX Alliance Group exclusively for their brand new agents. The company normally contracts with only very experienced agents, so she felt very privileged to be a part of the program in order to bring the highest level of service for which RE/MAX is known. To stay at her sharpest, she continues to further her education, and has a number of professional designations like CRS (Certified Residential Specialist), CIPS (Certified International Property Specialist) and CDPE (Certified Distressed Property Expert) to name a few.

When not helping clients, Denise takes great joy in visiting family – her parents in Hawaii, and her brother and sisters’ families in Ohio and Oregon. Currently, her son Kanoa, a Florida college student (University of South Florida), lives with her.

She also shares her home with three ‘furry children’ – her German Shepherd Dogs – who also ‘attend school’ since dog training is one of her passions. Two of her dogs are certified search dogs while the third is being trained in Schutzhund – a dog sport that evaluates whether a working dog breed exhibits stable traits necessary for police-type work or for breeding. She also makes time volunteering with Sarasota K9 Search and Rescue, a local organization that assists with locating lost persons using search dogs. One of her most memorable missions was the 2003 deployment with a Florida crew to Texas for the Columbia Shuttle Recovery. Her crew was successful in locating the “black box” to help NASA understand the incident.

If you want to reside in the Venice/Sarasota area, Denise can help. All it takes is a few moments of your time to discuss your situation and your requirements in a home. So, if you’d like to learn more about Denise, or if you want to find the perfect house for you, contact her today.
