I am Valerie Barber, a Broker Associate and REALTOR® with Hanson Real Estate Group, Inc., serving buyers and sellers throughout Lake County and surrounding Central Florida communities. Licensed in Florida since 2006, I bring many years of real estate experience, local market knowledge, and a personalized approach to every transaction.
I work with first-time homebuyers, experienced buyers, homeowners preparing to sell, seniors considering downsizing, families managing inherited properties, and clients navigating major life transitions. I also assist with relocation, new construction, waterfront properties, and transactions that involve coordinating the sale and purchase of a home.
As a solo real estate professional, I provide personalized, one-on-one service from the first conversation through closing and beyond. My clients work directly with me, and I take the time to understand their goals, concerns, timeline, and priorities before recommending a strategy.
For sellers, I provide thoughtful pricing guidance, local market analysis, property preparation recommendations, customized marketing, and negotiation support. For buyers, I emphasize education and preparation, helping them understand financing, contracts, inspections, appraisals, closing costs, and the overall home-buying process.
My primary service area includes Sorrento, Eustis, Tavares, Mount Dora, Umatilla, Leesburg, Clermont, Lady Lake, and communities throughout Lake County. I also assist clients in nearby Central Florida counties when needed.
I value honest communication, practical guidance, realistic expectations, and a calm, professional real estate experience.
