Jessika Arman is a second generation Broker-Associate with Premier Sotheby's International Realty. I have been selling and marketing real estate in Sarasota, Manatee and Charlotte Counties since 1998. Her family has been contributing to the arts, music, real estate and medical fields, that they helped Sarasota become renown for, since the 1950s. I grew up in the 70s and 80s on the Sarasota barrier island of Siesta Key. I have a passion for her town and shares her civic pride with everyone she meets.

As a Realtor, I am very hands on. I do not take on too many clients or listings that she cannot personally give her full and undivided attention to. I run a boutique style, exclusive, luxury real estate practice that is customer centric. I strive to make sure that you will have a rewarding home buying or selling experience. You will know just how much I care for you, before you know how much I know about the area. Anything worth doing is done with passion and conviction. I endeavor to give you a real estate experience and welcome to her hometown that is second to none.

Prior to my career in real estate, I earned a Master of Arts degree in International Relations from Boston University, and a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Mass Communication from Emerson College, Boston. I served my country as an intern in the Econ section of the American Embassy in Berlin, Germany and in the International Network Operation unit of the Discovery Channel that was responsible for launching the channel around the globe.

Sarasota Magazine has awarded her as a 5 Star Realtor, “Best in Client Satisfaction Category Realtor” seven times. She holds the following professional Realtor designations:

I am fluent in German and English and has varying degrees of proficiency in Spanish and French. As such, I have a large international clientele. Many of my clients are referral and repeat business and I am very happy to count many as friends. I have been a member of her local board of Realtors Global Council since 1999 and had led a trade mission to Germany.

Married since 2003 to Alfredo Valdivia of Peru, the couple has one child. In my free time, I enjoy boating, reading and exploring the area's pirating history and native Calusa Indian Culture.
