New Real Estate Company in Palm Coast

August/September, 2010 -   

An exciting new real estate firm has recently launched in Flagler County, Florida...  Parkside Realty Group, LLC, has opened its doors and is ready to serve the real estate needs of Palm Coast, Flagler Beach, and all of Flagler County.  This dynamic team of five agents and brokers comprise an astonishing combined experience base of over 80 years!

New Broker/Owner, Sam Perkovich, has been a perennial top producer in town for the past dozen years.  Her dedication and leadership within the Arts community in Flagler County has led to high visibility and a unique service orientation.  Sam's vision for Parkside includes an intense focus on the local market and a passion for the personal touch.  Parkside's view is that often, when a firm becomes "too big," they lose sight of their purpose.  National or international "Headquarters" calls the shots... and forgets that "all real estate is local."  Sam says, "We won't lose that local intensity here at Parkside.  It is precisely why we are in business.  We won't be reporting to Denver or Los Angeles or  Parsippany, because our allegiance is to Flagler County, Florida.  Period."

Realtor and Office Manager, Carol Monachese, brings in-depth administrative, managerial, and sales expertise to the Parkside mix.  Formerly a resident of South Florida, Carol enjoyed a successful real estate career in Westin, FL, prior to relocating to Palm Coast.

Frank Zedar, Associate Broker, has assisted families and investors with their real estate needs for 25 years in Florida, Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, D.C.  Although not an attorney, Frank received his certification as a Real Estate Negotiator and Mediator from Harvard Law School in 2003.  His skills and mind-set allow him to be comfortable and capable in the luxury market and also lead him to assist families facing foreclosure, in finding their best options. 
Frank's Real Estate experiences have seen him as a top sales agent, as well as the sales manager of many high volume real estate offices.  His affiliations have included Mount Vernon Realty, Century 21, GMAC, and RE/MAX. 
After Viet Nam, Frank received his BS in Industrial Management at the University of Tampa (Go, Spartans!) and his MBA at Georgia Tech (Go, Yellow Jackets!).  His real estate designations include the GRI, CRS, CDPE and CLHMS. 
As a certified national real estate trainer, he has also been on the adjunct business and economics faculty at both the University of Maryland (Heidelberg Germany campus) and George Mason University, in Fairfax, Virginia.  He has served as the Chairman of the Flagler County Association of Realtors Grievance Committee and currently is the Secretary of the FCAR Board of Directors.
Frank's twenty years as a US Army Officer have taught him that hard work and attention to the details are keys to a successful real estate career.

Maritssa Vazquez Zedar, Sales Associate, has been a sales top producer and came into real estate by way of the Title industry.  Having owned her own successful businesses in the past, she understands the challenges of today's complex economic environment.  Maritssa is fluent in Spanish and works comfortably within the international community.
Maritssa and her husband Frank have been real estate partners since 2004.  "We each do our own business," says Maritssa, "however it's great that we can always be there to cover each other's back."
First time buyers, who need a calming influence, really appreciate what Maritssa brings to the table.  On the other hand, when aggressive action is needed in a high stakes transaction, her reputation as a focused negotiator is most welcome!
