Meet Karianne
Karianne Rose
Karianne has a comprehensive, in-depth, and personal understanding of the medical journey and the sacrifices it takes to become a medical professional.
As the wife of an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon, I witness the stress, demands, and hectic lifestyle that accompanies a career in medicine. With a full understanding of the commitments required to your work and family, I pride myself on making your real estate journey as stress free as possible and conducive to your schedule.
I am a Certified DRS Agent, which means I am vetted and trained as a REALTOR to serve physicians, dentists, residents, fellows, medical/dental students, nurse practitioners, pharmacists, chiropractors, and more. This designation is limited to fewer than 1% of real estate professionals nationwide. I am here to help you buy or sell your home. Whether you are a recent graduate or an accomplished physician, I understand your limited time and unique situation and pride myself on providing a concierge-level realty experience.
I have navigated professional school with my husband while living off of a resident’s salary in New York City, and the debt burden that comes with it. I have first hand experience in obtaining a physician mortgage and the path to home ownership. Many national banks have programs that are tailored to your financial situation, and I have personal connections to local lenders that understand your journey.
I grew up in Western Pennsylvania and moved to Florida 12 years ago for graduate school with my husband. Our journey took us to live all over Florida and to New York, but the gulf coast never left our heart. I live in Lakewood Ranch and have witnessed the growth of the greater Manasota area over the last decade. As a mom of three young children, I enjoy local parks, beaches, and the many family friendly activities that are available. When my husband and I have date night, we enjoy the fine dining and cultural attractions that are unique to the Sarasota/Bradenton area.

Robert is the owner of Casella Group and a highly experienced REALTOR. He and Karianne work closely together to ensure the highest level of service and client satisfaction.
Before starting Casella Group, Robert sold homes for a large national builder for 5 years becoming one of their top salesmen.

The Destination Realty Group went on to become the #1 sales team in an office of over 100 agents. After finding success, Robert decided to form his own team, and the Casella Group was born. He has since moved to Preferred Shore Realty in downtown Sarasota and has surrounded himself with talented people, including his beautiful wife Kristin Casella and of course Karianne. Robert's main business objective is to give the customer a "Four Seasons" experience by utilizing the very best customer service practices and technological innovations.
Robert has earned his CLHMS (Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist), RENE (Real Estate Negotiation Expert), CIPS (Certified International Property Specialist) designations and has been voted a 5 Star Agent by his customers. Most of his business is derived from referrals, which is a true testament to his commitment to service.
