In the realm of real estate, Kirk Kessel stands out as an informed, meticulously prepared, tirelessly industrious, and passionately dedicated professional, making him one of the most trusted and seasoned agents in the Melbourne area. According to Space Coast Business Magazine, Kirk continues to maintain his industry leadership, remaining a top producer in Brevard County. His extensive experience encompasses all facets of real estate transactions – serving as a real estate agent, investor, adviser, general counsel, syndicator, and developer.

The collaboration continued to evolve, and in 2015, the Carpenter | Kessel Team relocated their offices to Dale Sorensen Brevard.

Reflecting on his three-decade-long involvement in the real estate business, Kirk expresses his love for the industry’s dynamic nature, where every transaction presents a unique set of challenges. Committed to community service, Kirk and his team have actively participated on various boards and foundations over the past 30 years, contributing to organizations such as The American Cancer Society, The American Heart Association, the Melbourne Area Association of Realtors® Grievance Committee, Ad Astra Florida Tech, and the Maxx W.
