    Bought a Single Family home in 2013 in Lake Nona Central, Orlando, FL.
    Our experience in purchasing a home in Orlando Florida was made easy though the knowledge and cooperation of Valerie Thomas. Her knowledge of the real estate landscape and fitting our particular needs into that landscape was as good as it gets. Do hesitate to contact her in your search for Florida and Orlando real estate.More Less

    Sold a Townhouse home in 2013 for approximately $175K in Orlando, FL.
    Back in 2010, I purchased a townhouse in Nona Terrace by Lennar. I absolutely love my townhouse and had a great experience in buying the townhouse with the help of Steven Pellegrino of Lennar. But I adopted a black lab and she quickly outgrew the space, and my fiance and I decided to build a house. We put the townhouse on the market and had a not-too-great experience with another Realtor before switching to Valerie Thomas. Valerie is AMAZING. She is so responsive, gives honest feedback and worked on finding the perfect buyer who would let us "lease back" the townhouse until our new home is ready. I literally switched agents in one day and had an offer the very next on my townhouse - just because of her expertise of the Lake Nona area and the connections that she has cultivated over her years of experience. Once we had a buyer, the process went very smoothly, with zero hiccups along the way. Because of this experience, Valerie has earned my business for many years to come and I will be telling everyone I know of how great of an experience I had. I also will say she was very flexible, as I have a hectic work schedule and she made late evening trips to get needed signatures/paperwork. I really appreciated that!More Less

    Bought a Single Family home in 2012 for approximately $225K in Orlando, FL.
    In last 20 years I've bought and sold something like 14 homes. This has given me lots of experience with real estate agents. What I've learned is there are four requirements to being a great agent. They are: 1)Passion 2)Knowledge 3)Listening skills and; 4)Responsiveness.

    Valerie has all of this and more! She has huge energy and passion and really knows her markets and the many "ins and outs" of real estate transactions. She took the time to get to know us and to understand what we were looking for and impressed us with showing us properties and sharing ideas that directly related to our needs. She also is very, very good at responding to our phone calls and emails. She was outstanding at getting back to us quickly and following up on every discussion and every commitment. She misses nothing.

    She showed us great properties; shared great ideas; and helped us find the perfect property. During the entire process she was always at our side and made the entire process easy and smooth. I can honestly say she is the best agent I've ever worked with and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone.
