What do Clients Say?

From the onset, Kelly was very understanding in helping with our sale. It could have been very difficult for us to control as we live in the UK but Kelly made it all very simple. I would highly recommend Kelly to any of our overseas friends to handle their sale Thank you Kelly, it's been a pleasure to work with you.

Once again it was an absolute pleasure to work with Kelly Pankiw. Kelly has sold 2 of our properties and facilitated the purchase of 2 properties. Our experience with her has been excellent. Kelly truly cares about and advocates for her clients is always available to answer questions, and is available to show properties promptly. She not only has knowledge of the area but also the individual communities in the area. Kelly is friendly and has an engaging personality. We found her to be very thorough, following up on every detail. We wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again and would highly recommend her to others.

Kelly was instrumental in helping us secure our home. She provided insight on the process, the industry, knowledge of the area and culture of the buying business. She reviewed documents and made sure we were aware of things that may have been typically missed. We were not in the area when we started the home-buying journey and Kelly was our eyes and ears in Venice. She understood what we were looking for and didn't stop until we found it while remaining very professional, and forthright about our expectations. She is an exceptional realtor!

Throughout the entire process, Kelly was an amazing realtor for us. We were thrilled to have Kelly Pankiw as our realtor again. This is the 2nd time we have worked with Kelly once to buy a home and this last time to sell our home. She cared and listened to our concerns. She also gave us expert advice on the whole process from listing to closing. We will definitely recommend Kelly Pankiw to all of our family and friends.

About Kelly

Originally from Pennsylvania, Kelly Pankiw made the intentional move from long, snowy winters to the sunshine and coastal lifestyle of Florida's Gulf Coast. After years of traveling as a flight attendant, she developed a lasting belief that your home should be your favorite destination—a philosophy that continues to guide every client relationship.

With more than 20 years of marketing and sales experience and over seven years as a licensed REALTOR®, Kelly has built a reputation for delivering exceptional service, strategic guidance, and outstanding results. As a Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist™ (CLHMS™) and top-producing advisor with Momentum Realty, Florida, she combines sophisticated marketing, expert negotiation, and deep local market knowledge to help buyers and sellers confidently achieve their real estate goals.

Kelly specializes in luxury waterfront homes, lifestyle communities, new construction, and relocations both to Florida and within Sarasota and Manatee Counties. Whether assisting first-time buyers, retirees seeking their dream lifestyle, or luxury home sellers, she takes a personalized, relationship-first approach focused on understanding each client's unique needs and long-term goals.

Over the past eight years, Kelly has consistently ranked among the top 2% of REALTORS® at the Venice Area Board of REALTORS®, closing more than $106 million in sales. Her clients appreciate her integrity, transparent communication, meticulous attention to detail, and calm, organized approach that makes every transaction as seamless and stress-free as possible.

Kelly believes that luxury is not defined by a price point—it's defined by the experience. She is committed to providing concierge-level service, honest advice, and white-glove care before, during, and long after the transaction. This commitment to building lasting relationships has earned her a loyal base of repeat clients and referrals.

Her passion for interior decorating provides an added advantage for both buyers and sellers. She enjoys helping buyers recognize a home's full potential while assisting sellers in preparing their homes to make a memorable first impression through thoughtful design and professional staging.

Outside of real estate, Kelly and her husband, David, enjoy kayaking, beachcombing, and pickleball while embracing Florida's outdoor lifestyle. They have also dedicated more than 35 years to serving their community through Rotary International, participating in youth exchange programs, local fundraising initiatives, and hurricane relief efforts. One of Kelly's most rewarding experiences has been welcoming more than ten international exchange students into their home.

For Kelly, real estate is about far more than buying and selling property—it's about helping people find a place they'll truly love coming home to. Her goal is to help every client find a home that quickly becomes their favorite destination.
