ZillowVERIFIEDI used Lorraine as my listing agent in November because she was supposed to be the #1 realtor in Solivita. Our experience with her was very disappointing. She was very disrespectful of our wishes and what our home was worth and was very reluctant to list it at the price we wanted and then it actually ended up selling for more than asking. Throughout the entire process, Lorraine was unprofessional and condescending, talking down to my husband and me on every conversation we had. I found this frustrating as I am paying her to work for me and she failed to recognize that. Your realtor is there to help you throughout every step of the process and make it easy, but she made it more difficult. We loved and enjoyed our time and neighborhood in Solivita but this experience had us leaving on a sour note.

ZillowVERIFIED We were moving to Solivita from up North 5 years ago and had zero knowledge of the central Florida market in general nor the retirement community in particular. A friend referred us to Lorraine and enlisting her help was like winning the lottery. She has years of experience and intimate knowledge dealing with the community developer as well as handling resales. The bottom line is, with Lorraine's help, we purchased a home, sold a home, and again are shopping for a new home. Thank you Lorraine!

ZillowVERIFIED Lorraine is truly an exceptional agent. I have worked with many agents over the years and she is at the top of my list of agents I would want to work with again. She goes above and beyond as she truly cares about her clients.

ZillowVERIFIED Lorraine is an exceptional real estate professional. She not only sold our house at a good price in a slow seller's market, but helped us get the home we wanted with a very smooth transition from one house to the other. She is not only professional business woman, but a warm, caring person who will make a client feel like part of her family. We highly recommend Lorraine to anyone looking for a "home".

ZillowVERIFIED Lorraine did not represent me because I was the seller, she represented the buyer. In spite of that relationship I was able to ask many important questions that needed to be answered in a timely manner to Lorraine. I received my answers quickly and professionally. I truly believe because of my relationship with Lorraine there were no problems at the finish line, the closing. We had moved 220 miles, to northern Florida and always felt in the loop because of Lorraine's quick responses to any questions we had. I highly recommend Lorraine Valdesin any real estate transaction. D

ZillowVERIFIED Today I contacted Lorraine as I needed to find a mortgage broker, she called me back from a cruise-ship and I could notice that she was upset to find out that I was in fact reaching out to get a reference and that I was not wanting to buy a house right away ?First of all I should say that I am planning to buy a house just not right away so here is what I sent to her :Dear Lorraine ,Allow me to tell you that you were rather rude on the phone with me today.I am not responsible for bothering you on a cruise, I thought you were at work .It was up to you not to return the call until you get back to Florida if you decided to do so.I am actually planning to buy another house as well as mentioned so yes I am totally serious. What I am also sure of is that you just lost a potential customer .I hope for you that you do not have too many of those phone calls this year .Philippep.s. As Alan Fox ( or one of his associates )mentioned one day "checking e-mails on cruise-ships can be rather expensive but if you learn from them it is then priceless !!!!she then answered :Wish you all the best. Kindly call any agent of your choice, sure you'll get the same prompt service when asking for favors. Have a nice day! Sent from my iPhone. strange she tells me to call any agent now and seems proud of the prompt service she offers, Sorry you were not able to provide me with a name in addition you showed me who you really are .

ZillowVERIFIED Lorraine was very professional in all her dealings with me and very knowledgeable about the local real estate market, pricing and how to stage a home for quick sale. She returned my calls right away and if she did not know the answer she got it and got right back to me. Her follow up with feedback about all showings was always prompt. She was delightful to work with and worked very hard for me. She encouraged me to just pack and do what I needed to do and she would take care of everything else, and she did. Lorraine was right by my side with encouragement and advice through the whole process. We became friends through the process and I wish I had known her prior to having her list my house and moving out of the area.

ZillowVERIFIED I recently purchased a home in Solivita. Lorraine was my agent and I would not have purchased my perfect home if it wasn't for her knowledge of the area and also being dialed into what I was looking for. I have been coming to Solivita for 4 years staying with friends and knew I wanted to be a resident. I called Lorraine, who a friend recommended, and we meet and went over my criteria. Went back to NY and Lorraine kept in touch with me sending periodically homes meeting my criteria. I came back down the end of October to look at homes that she had sent me and others that I wanted to see. One of the homes I asked to see did not meet my criteria, so when I met her, she said we were going to look at a home that was not on my list but thought I would like and she was so right. I put an offer in a few days later and closed on home the end of December. I can't thank Lorraine enough for showing me this beautiful home and working with me each step of the way until we closed. She was amazing. I would recommend her to anyone who wants to buy a home. She will work with you and for you.

ZillowVERIFIED Lorraine is the ultimate professional! From first contact until closing she kept us informed & updated, negotiated with the seller, prodded the lender to keep the timeline, and explained things in a clear & concise manner. In a word a godsend. What a pleasure to work with. We will forever be in her debt.Dan & Laura

ZillowVERIFIED Lorraine was extremely knowledgeable about the local market. She provided excellent advice that made the sale of our home easy and stress free. All of our questions were answered honestly. Our phone calls were promptly returned when Lorraine couldn't immediately take our calls. She was there every step of the way. She went above and beyond to make certain that every detail was properly addressed. Lorraine is a down to earth sort of person, who quickly puts you at ease with her winning personality. I would not hesitate to recommend her as a Realtor to any family member or friend. What a gem!

ZillowVERIFIED I highly recommend Lorraine if you are looking to sell or even buy a home. She is the total package! She is very professional,dedicated and expert in all the aspects of Real Estate, but the best thing about her is her honesty and integrity. She will tell it like it is, but will work for YOU to make it work, now that's what makes a difference between her and all other Real Estate agents. I had my home in the market for 6 months with another agent and had a handful of viewings. I contracted her and within 2 months my home was sold!

ZillowVERIFIED Our contact with Lorraine started by email. Lorraine figured out very quickly what our requirements were and sent listings that showed what we were looking for in a home. A couple of physical visits with Lorraine to view listings, we had our future home. Lorraine made the purchase quick and painless and we thank her for her great service.

ZillowVERIFIED Have found her to be extremely difficult in negotiations and has caused us to lose several buyers on our multiple properties. As soon as our listings end, we are turning them over to another agent. Not happy.

Thank you Lorraine so much, you took a whole lot of stress off my shoulders, you made it all seem so simple, especially with me being in England the whole time, I had no reason at any time to worry that my houses were in safe hands. Thank you, thank you, thank you !!!

ZillowVERIFIED Lorraine did an excellent job handling our home search and purchase in Florida. We could not make the first walk thru for our new home due to car issues in NC and Lorraine took care of this for us. We would definitely recommend her and certainly would use her services again if needed.

ZillowVERIFIED We have moved, sold our homes, many times in the past and Ms. Valdes is by far the most professional, attentive and knowledgable realtor we have had. She was always responsive to our needs and, at least, of equal importance our concerns and anxieties. This was a trying experience for us, in large part but not exclusively, because of our advanced ages. This factor made the entire experience difficult and she was there, without hesitation, to help us through and calm the waters. We are deeply indebted to her for this. Another factor that made the sale difficult was the market which did not put the seller in a favorable position but she was ever present with creative ideas which did lead to a successful sale. I can not say this strong enough, so suffice it so say that my wife and I consider ourselves very lucky to have had Ms. Valdes representing us. We think we could never have made a better choice.

ZillowVERIFIED I can say many good things about Lorraine and i'm sure you probably have heard them before. So instead I'll skip all the nonsense about what a great agent she is and tell you about what a great person my wife and I had the pleasure of getting to know. Lorraine worked overtime in helping us sell our house and did more then 200% to help us through the process . Our only regret is that we didn't know her prior to selling, because she became a great friend and will always be one.

ZillowVERIFIED Lorraine must be the best realtor in the USA. I immediately bonded in a trust with her. I actually purchased a house sight unseen in part because of that trust. She guided me through the entire process on a step by step basis by e mail and telephone. She is extremely efficient and made an experience which could have easily been stressful but was not at all. I am so happy to have met her. She served me very well.

ZillowVERIFIED Lorraine helped us find our new home in Solivita. She is professional, courteous, knowledgeable, and a great person to work with. She showed us several existing homes in our price range but since we decided to go with new construction, she guided us through that process and counseled us on aspects of it we'd never thought of. Now that we are renting out our Solivita home, her help and insight is invaluable. If you are in need of a realtor, by all means contact Lorraine.

ZillowVERIFIED We were very lucky to have found Lorraine. She is a professional Real Estate agent that understands the investor market. From start to finish, she was very prompt at responding to our e-mails and calls. Her follow-through was fantastic. Even when we were not able to view the properties, Lorraine provided us pictures and detailed descriptions that allowed us to make educated decisions which saved us a lot of time and unnecessary aggravation. This was very helpful since were looking for an out of state home and flying out was not always on option. Her white glove service walked us through the entire process. Her negotiating skills were top notch and we were apprised every step of the way. We will definitely work with Lorraine again and highly recommend her. She is a great addition to our team.

She resolved any issue in a very expedient manner and always made sure that I was satisfied with the results.
