Valerie Harvey

Valerie Harvey is a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Realty specializing in out-of-town and international buyers and sellers across Fort Lauderdale and Pompano Beach. Since becoming licensed in 2017, she has closed over 110 transactions and been recognized by RealTrends Verified as ranking in the top 1.5% of Realtors nationally, and currently has an active listing at $25 million. A Certified International Property Specialist (CIPS) and Global Luxury-certified agent, Valerie built her business almost entirely on referrals and repeat clients — guiding buyers and sellers through remote closings, virtual tours, and cross-border logistics when they can't always be here in person. 

If you're buying or selling from somewhere other than Fort Lauderdale — another state, another country, or just another time zone — the challenge usually isn't finding a home. It's finding someone you trust to handle the details you can't be there for. 

That's the work I do. Since becoming a Realtor in 2017, I've closed more than 110 transactions with Coldwell Banker Realty, been recognized by RealTrends Verified among the top 1.5% of agents in the country and currently list one of Fort Lauderdale's most notable properties at $25 million — alongside a $10.5 million sale I closed in 2022. But the number I'm proudest of is this: almost all of that business came from referrals and repeat clients. People who trusted me once, and then sent me a friend, or came back. 

As a Certified International Property Specialist (CIPS) and Coldwell Banker Global Luxury-certified agent, I specialize in exactly the situation you might be in right now: buying or selling property from a distance. I coordinate virtual showings, remote closings, and the logistics — financing, timing, currency — that come with a cross-border or long-distance move. 

I understand that distance firsthand. Born in the French West Indies, educated in France and the U.S., and having lived across three continents and ten cities before settling in Fort Lauderdale in 1997, I know what it takes to build trust with someone starting fresh somewhere new. 

Outside of real estate, I've spent years on the boards of the Charity Guild of Fort Lauderdale, Women Owning Wellness, and the Junior League — work that's taught me the same lesson real estate has: showing up consistently is what earns trust, deal after deal, year after year. 

Whether you're relocating from across the country or across an ocean, I'll walk you through exactly how the process works — no surprises, no guesswork.
