As a Punta Gorda native, Southwest Florida has always held a special place in my heart — and as Calenda Real Estate Group's Marketing Specialist, I've had a front-row seat to why this team is worth referring. Working alongside Jennifer Calenda and her agents, crafting their market updates and telling their clients' stories, has shown me firsthand the expertise and genuine care they bring to every transaction. I hold a Bachelor's and Master's from the University of Florida (proud double-Gator!), and outside of work you'll find me traveling with my camera in hand, dancing salsa with my Colombian family, or planning my next trip. If you or someone you know is buying or selling in the Punta Gorda area, I'd be honored to connect you with the team I trust most.

A fulfilling career in architectural design and construction led Debra to a 15-year career as a real estate agent and trusted advisor to her clients. After 25 years of enjoying the SW Florida lifestyle, Debra chose to relocate to her lakeside retreat in Upstate South Carolina, where she now enjoys life with her yellow Lab, Goldilocks. Debra is proud to be part of the Calenda Referral Group, allowing her to remain a trusted real estate resource while enjoying a more relaxed chapter of life. With a dozen professional designations and years of experience, she remains just a phone call away, connecting clients with professionals who share her commitment to personal service and expertise. Her days now embrace a more relaxed lifestyle—hiking to waterfalls, kayaking, practicing yoga and Tai Chi, and discovering new travel destinations.

Living in Southwest Florida is the best life anyone could ask for, and as a retiree I get to enjoy all of it: boating, golf, the beach, pickleball, or a walk in the sunshine. Between those activities and volunteering with Team Punta Gorda, a group dedicated to making our community a great place to live, work and play, I meet many people who dream of calling this area home. As a referral agent with Calenda Real Estate Group, I connect them with Jennifer Calenda and her team. Jennifer has served Punta Gorda for more than 25 years, and her team brings local knowledge and personal care to every transaction. When I'm not out enjoying the area, you'll find me in my yard, reading, or with my two dogs. If you or someone you know is buying or selling in the Punta Gorda area, I'd love to connect you with a team I trust.

Why Refer to Calenda

Whether you're stepping away from the business, relocating out of Florida, or simply don't work this market yourself, handing off a client is personal. Here's why agents trust Calenda Real Estate Group to take it from here.

Your Reputation, Protected
Local Expertise, Without You Here
Your Network, Working for You
Deep Roots, Proven Results
Winding down your business? Your clients still deserve the same level of care you gave them for years. When you refer them to us, they become our priority — not a lead in a pipeline. We treat every referral with the same attention, communication, and follow-through we'd want for our own clients, so your reputation stays intact long after you've stepped away.
Moving out of state doesn't mean losing touch with the clients and connections you built here. If you have people in your network who are buying, selling, or investing in Punta Gorda, we'll represent them the way you would if you were still local — with local expertise, quick communication, and updates you can pass along if you'd like to stay in the loop.
Not every agent works the Punta Gorda market, and that's okay — that's what a referral network is for. When you send us a client, you're not losing the relationship, you're extending it. We handle the local details so you can stay focused on your own market, while your client (and your referral fee) are taken care of.
25+ years serving Punta Gorda has taught Jennifer Calenda one thing above all: how someone is treated after the handoff is what people remember. That's the standard we hold every referral to.
