About Jennifer Calenda

Broker-Associate, MBA (36 years experience) Jennifer Calenda has built an impressive career around her expertise in real estate and finance. In 1998, she and her husband, Tom, headed south to Punta Gorda, Florida. Since then, Jennifer has become a leader in the Punta Gorda marketplace, selling roughly $600,000,000 in real estate since 2000, and has consistently ranked in the top 10 out of 1800+ agents in the Punta Gorda area Board of Realtors. Jennifer earned a BS degree in Finance and Accounting from Drexel University and an MBA in Real Estate and Finance from Rutgers University. She spent 15 years working for a $35 billion New Jersey bank, financing commercial real estate, managing loan restructures, performing commercial foreclosures, and providing construction oversight and sales management of numerous bank owned assets. At "30 something" she achieved a Senior Vice President title, and proceeded to develop and restructure several divisions for the bank. A passion for people and doing what is best for her clients has fueled Jennifer's success. Jennifer quickly makes people feel at ease with her professional yet friendly approach to the business with tenacity and savvy. She provides complimentary staging services for her clients, which has brought great success to her marketing program; this coupled with many other support services, such as having trusted service providers, ensures any job is done to everyone's satisfaction. Jennifer enjoys boating on Charlotte Harbor, staying fit at the Punta Gorda Y, de-stressing with yoga, and hiking and skiing out west. Jennifer has been a strong advocate for the Charlotte County Homeless Coalition, and has served on the Board of Directors.

Jennifer, Makala, Chris and Rebecca are a fabulous and coordinated TEAM! Every step of the process ran seamlessly and efficiently. They handled both our sale and purchase. This is the 3rd time we have worked with Jennifer Calenda since 2003 on both sides and if possible she only gets better. Can't imagine working with anyone else. Jenn's so honest and professional as well as fun to be with.

I was very pleased with the Calenda group. They work well as a team and are very knowledgeable and resourceful. I don?t know how I would have gotten through all the requests for information from financial institutions without their assistance. I felt like I was in trustworthy hands and they were always there for me. I would highly recommend this group for your real estate goals.

I mentioned to Jennifer that I was interested in properties in Esplanade. She reached out to me as soon as she heard that a unit was going to be listed and set up an appointment to see it. Because we didnt live here, Jennifer and her staff took care of the home inspection and any other issues that needed to be addressed. After the closing, they have helped refer me to plumbers, electricians, etc. Very professional and made the experience of buying a home a pleasure.
