Lorraine Valdes helped us buy/build our "Snowbird" home in 2017 and when it was time for us to move permanently to Florida, we immediately contacted Lorraine to help us buy/build our forever home; as well as, sell the existing one. Lorraine is extremely professional, honest, caring, knowledgeable, very efficient, always well prepared and very enthusiastic. She also gave us great advise, arranged for the staging and photographs, proposed an efficient sales process and guided us every step of the way. We definitely could not have done it without Lorraine's expertise, dedication and guidance. She always looked out for our best interest at heart and took care of us during negotiations involving the buyer's agent and the company who built our homes. We highly recommend Lorraine Valdes and Bella Verde Realty without any reservation to anyone looking to buy or sale a property. She is absolutely the Best !

Lorraine came highly recommended. She took care to understand the circumstances of the sale, our priorities and needs. She was a resource for a number of things we needed to complete the process of moving out and getting the house ready. She was always available by phone.

We thought we were not going to close. Lorraine worked tirelessly to make it happen. We are loving our home!

Lorraine’s experience, knowledge & expertise is unsurpassed in Solivita. She’s responsive to concerns and a tenacious negotiator. The best!!

Lorraine rescued me from a bad situation and made my buying experience a breeze. I’m very grateful for her!

Lorraine is the best in the business. We had the pleasure of buying and selling a home with her as our agent. From our very first meeting she made us feel welcome and excited to find our future home. Her professionalism, follow up and and caring throughout the process in both buying and selling our homes was unmatched. We value her as a professional and she has become a wonderful friend as well. If you want an excellent realtor - call Lorraine.

This is our 5th transaction together. Lorraine is at least 2 steps ahead and always ready for the unexpected. Her vast array of business associates and connections always amazes me. I consider Lorraine an extended part of my family and would definitely recommend her to represent anyone.

Our experience with Lorraine has been first class. She kept us informed of the things we needed to be aware of. The Real Estate process Is not something that most of us deal with on a regular basis. Her manner was friendly yet professional. She made us feel very comfortable.

Was very professional from listing to closing. Went the extra mile a number of times to quickly resolve issues. Very knowledgeable on market and actions needed to sell home in a market impacted by Covid-19. Extremely pleased.

I was only in Solivita for one day at a time, driving from Tampa in the morning and returning to Tampa in the early evening. Lorraine arranged her schedule to spend the entire day with me each time I traveled to Solivita so that my trips were efficient. We selected the homes I was to see together so that each home held a good degree of interest to me before I even saw it. She was familiar enough with all the homes I originally showed interest in to be able to discuss them with pros and cons as to how they met my goals as to my comfort and social levels and as an investment. She provided me with the names of home inspectors who were highly regarded in Solivita. She was always in attendance for every visit I made to inspect the house I had selected and also went on her own to do a final walk through the day of my absentee settlement. She was always available to me whenever I needed her advice or presence and was in almost daily touch with me via e-mail or phone to update me on the progress of my settlement. I recommend her heartily and with great appreciation for her efficiency, professionalism and many years of experience!

We’re very impressed with their professionalism, knowledge, honesty, hard work ethic and genuine interest in assuring we’re satisfied with every single aspect.

They’ve been there every step of the way, always answering questions, calls, emails no matter what time of day or night, interacting with the builder in our behalf, while always looking out for our best interest at heart. If you want results, we highly recommend the Bella Verde Realty team for all your real estate needs, you won’t be disappointed. We feel blessed and sincerely thank Lorraine Valdes and Lee Valdes, they’ve became our dearest friends and Realtors for life.

We worked with Lorraine to buy this house 3+ years ago and used her again to sell the home. She was knowledgeable, responsive and professional. She remained involved until the end.
