About Merryl

I am deeply passionate about helping people—it’s not just what I do, it’s who I am. Originally from New York, I left after high school to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science at the University of Arizona. I later earned a Master’s degree in Physiology with a concentration in Aging from the University of Illinois. For 17 years, I had the privilege of developing health and wellness programs for seniors in both Chicago and Sarasota, a role that allowed me to blend compassion with science to improve lives. In 2007, I transitioned into Sales and Marketing, where I have continued to build strong, lasting relationships while serving both residential and commercial markets. My approach is rooted in clear communication, meticulous attention to detail, and a sincere commitment to honesty and integrity. I’ve always been an active member of the community. As an animal enthusiast, I was instrumental in helping launch one of Sarasota’s largest animal shelters and have remained deeply involved over the years. I also proudly serve on committees at Temple Emanu-El and find tremendous meaning in being a mentor and “Big” with Big Brothers Big Sisters. Family is at the heart of everything I do. I’m incredibly proud of my son, who earned his MBA from Florida State University, and I cherish the deep connections I have with my loved ones. A true believer in the importance of balance, I’m a lifelong fitness enthusiast, and yoga has become a guiding force in my life—especially during life’s more chaotic moments. It has taught me the power of mindfulness, grounding me in the present and helping me stay centered both personally and professionally. I am proud to be part of the Coldwell Banker team and am committed to helping you buy or sell your piece of paradise right here in our incredible community.
