Pamela Ferrara
Pamela Ferrara is a dedicated REALTOR® with a unique blend of experience that spans from the bustling streets of New York to the serene beaches of Sarasota, Florida. Born in Brooklyn and raised in Riverdale, Pamela has always had a knack for connecting with people and understanding their needs. With a B.A. in English Literature and Communications from the University of Miami, she possesses the communication skills necessary to effectively convey complex information to her clients.
Before embarking on her real estate journey in 2021, Pamela spent 30 years in the Wine & Spirits industry in metropolitan New York. Her role as a restaurant specialist allowed her to collaborate with prestigious establishments across Manhattan and beyond, placing top-tier wines like Robert Mondavi and Sebastiani Vineyards into their menus. This experience honed her ability to build strong relationships and develop successful promotional programs—a skill she now leverages to benefit her real estate clients.
In addition to her professional expertise, Pamela has been actively involved in various fundraising initiatives since moving to Florida over 20 years ago. She played a pivotal role in developing Healthcare News Brief and successfully raised funds for Braden River High School chorus trips to Carnegie Hall. Her efforts also extended to Lakewood Ranch Hospital’s fundraising committee, where she organized tennis events featuring silent auctions with exclusive items like private lessons with renowned tennis pro Nick Bollettieri. Outside of work, Pamela enjoys spending quality time with her husband Fred of 35 years and their two children. Her son Ford is a music therapist for Hospice in Orlando, while her daughter Jodi works at Blatt Billiards in New York City. Whether she’s playing tennis or golf, appreciating music and art, or relaxing on the beach with family, Pamela embraces life with enthusiasm. Having witnessed Sarasota’s transformation over the last five decades—ever since her parents discovered this hidden gem—Pamela is passionate about helping others find their perfect home in what she fondly calls "Paradise." With her extensive background and commitment to client satisfaction, she is well-equipped to guide you through every step of your real estate journey.
