Established in 2011, DWELL Real Estate was opened by Marc Rasmussen, a veteran Realtor who was previously associated with RE/MAX Alliance, Sotheby's International Realty and Michael Saunders and Company.

​

DWELL's first office was located in downtown Sarasota with the goal of building a "boutique experience" for home sellers and buyers. To accomplish this Marc started with a small group of high-integrity agents and began a process called “elevating the business” of real estate. DWELL strategically accrued several additional Realtors, all of whom practice top-of-the-line professionalism.   

​

Many home buyers consider both Sarasota or St. Pete to purchase a vacation or permanent residence and Corcoran DWELLINGS wanted to make looking in either area as seamless as possible by opening a branch office in one of the most exciting and fun locations in the area - downtown St. Petersburg. This branch is co-owned by Marc Rasmussen and top St. Petersburg broker, Liane Jamason where Jamason serves as broker of record.

​

In January 2022, DWELL Real Estate joined the Corcoran family and is now known as Corcoran DWELLINGS. We did this just a few months after our 10th anniversary of opening. We put a lot of thought into this decision. While we loved being an independent brokerage, we simply couldn't pass up the opportunity to affiliate with this well known brand. We are big fans of the Corcoran story and marketing.

​

Our fabulous, small group of Realtors in Sarasota and St. Petersburg sold over $200,000,000 in 2021, so we didn't make this decision out of desperation.

​

At the end of the day, the biggest reason we made this decision was to improve our clients real estate experience.
