Charlotte Terry Real Estate Group Associatesindex.html

Charlotte Terry, Broker
REALTOR, ABR, TRC, GREEN
Charlotte is, as they say, "connected" - to everyone and every place, from the Environmental Learning Center to Saint Edward's School, where both her children graduated.

She knows Florida and Real Estate. Charlotte Terry is a fourth generation Floridian, and has lived in Vero Beach for over 40 years. Her family moved to Vero Beach from Jacksonville, Florida, in 1966. After twenty years of owning her own company, Charlotte Terry Real Estate, Inc., Terry merged her company with Alex MacWilliam, Inc. Real Estate in 2009, continuing to specialize in Buyer representation in the local real estate market.

She is a do-er. Charlotte is more than a presence on the real estate scene. She is also a fixture in the community's vibrant cultural and environmental life, where she's been an activist and prime mover.

She is President of the Board of the Laura (Riding) Jackson Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the poet, Ms. Jackson's historic home located on the ELC campus. The Foundation not only provides educational and literary seminars but started the successful Vero Beach Book Festival, bringing many Pulitzer Prize and Nobel Prize winning authors to the Vero Beach community. Partnering with this non- profit, Terry and Pam Proctor started the Teenwriters Workshop, bringing writers to Vero Beach to teach writing skills to teens, and started, with Nancy Hopwood, Cracker Tales, Inc., a documentary production company to capture local oral histories on video.

Terry, is a founding member and President of the Board of the Indian River Literary Society and serves on the Haiti Partners Advisory Committee, a group committed to training teachers, community leaders and building schools in Haiti.

She is a nature nut. An avid naturalist, Charlotte can often be found squiring clients on outdoor adventures, kayaking on the Indian River, fishing at Blue Cypress Lake, tracking wild animals in the St. Sebastian Buffer Preserve, or getting down and dirty at the annual bull auction at the Adams' Ranch. She also proudly serves on the Board of McKee Botanical Gardens.

She's a people person. Her clients' enthusiasm speaks for itself:

"Charlotte's deep market knowledge, uncommon value sensitivity and pragmatic, personalized approach insure customer satisfaction and loyalty. If you seek the best, use the best."
--Alice and Bill, John's Island

"Boy, are we ever glad we met you. We never would have found our fabulous condo (and at a such a great price!). We never would have had that crazy, fun Blue Cypress Lake day at the fish camp. And we never would have known the one, the only Miss Charlotte, who lights up not only our lives, but the whole world!""
--Ellen and Dick, Vero Beach

Charlotte says: "What thrills me most is opening cultural and environmental doors and volunteer opportunities in Indian River County for my clients."

Karen V. Abell, REALTOR, CRS, CBR, TRC
Karen knows firsthand what it's like to be a Northern transplant. Ever since she moved to Vero from Shelburne, Vermont, with her husband, Sabe, she has made it her business to help newcomers learn everything they need to know to feel completely at home.

Karen brings to real estate a wealth of personal and professional experience, including:

More than 28 years as a top real-estate producer, specializing in distinctive properties.

18 years as a buyer's broker.

Clients from Vermont to Florida agree:
"We loved working with Karen Abell. She could sell us an igloo in Hawaii!"
--Don and Linda Scott


"In my 30 years of dealing with top people, Karen Abell, through persistence, tact, and market savvy, is a gem."

Christine Corey Feist REALTOR, ABR, TRC, GREEN
If anyone understands the premiere real estate market, it's Christine, who has more than 20 years in the business, both in Vero Beach and in Coral Gables/Miami. There, she specialized in international relocation and historic home restoration -- fields that brought her in contact with people from all over the globe who demanded only the best.

Christine's impeccable taste, market savvy and organizational skills are legendary among her clients, who rely on her to get them and their families settled into the perfect home, schools, and clubs.

Christine's Passions:

Helping at-risk families. She's a prime mover in Partners with Families, a key ministry at Community Church that aids families in distress throughout Indian River County.

Bolstering Education. Christine jump-started three major educational initiatives at Saint Edward's School, where her son was a student. The first was Parents Supporting Parents, a series of speakers on topical issues relevant to child rearing. She also created the school's faculty advisory system and the community service program, both of which are integral to the Saint Edward's experience.

Life Coaches. Recognizing a need to guide young, at risk women, from middle school through to college, Christine has recently organized a group of young professional women to serve as life coaches. Many of these “volunteers” are former clients, interested in becoming involved with the community.

Cooking for Friends. "One of my favorite things is to put together big meals and have lots of people over," says Christine, who also takes time to do "Angel Baking," by bringing cakes and cookies to needy neighbors.

Traveling abroad and at home.

Christine says: "I love having friends all over the world. My life is an extension of my job, and my clients become my friends.""

Patty Valdes, REALTOR, ABR, TRC, green
Patty Valdes makes buying a house as easy as pie. Key lime pie, to be exact. That's because Patty is not only a top-notch Realtor, who helps buyers find the house of their dreams; she's also a crackerjack baker, whose key lime pies, oatmeal raisin cookies, and other gourmet specialties are acclaimed, throughout Vero Beach.

What clients rave about most however, is her professionalism and open, straightforward style, an approach to the real estate market that infuses clients with confidence. Patty was in the first class given in the United States by the NAR for the Green Sustainable Property Designation.

"Patty's professional attitude and her unwavering display of honesty add to her character. She's our realtor for life."
-- Joyce, Grand Harbor

"She's honest, caring, and sincere. Patty is one of those exceptional people who can combine a professional manner with a personal touch - along with an extensive knowledge of Vero. She's the best."
--John & Carol, Connecticut

As a Realtor with more than eighteen years in general and developmental real estate in Indian River County, Patty knows the area inside and out. She has the lowdown on private golf and boating communities, after seven years on the real estate staff of Grand Harbor. She's also got her finger on the pulse of the education scene, as a former substitute teacher in one of the city's top public elementary schools and as the parent of two local high school graduates. One of her children graduated from St. Edward's School and the other from Vero Beach High School.

When she's not wheeling and dealing on behalf of her clients, where can Patty be found?

You might find her fishing on the Blue Cypress Lake or in the Atlantic. A former resident of Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, Patty cut her teeth fishing for Walleye.

Or, you would find her working for Habitat for Humanity, where her background in building business comes in handy. At Habitat, she's helping to raise money for a house sponsored by the Indian River Board of Realtors.

Then again, you may find her in the kitchen, whipping up a bonus treat for a client - perhaps just for you!

Patty says: "Finding the right piece of property is the most important mission and by the end of the process we will hopefully become good friends! "

Stuart Kennedy, Realtor, Broker Associate, Graduate of the Realtor Institute (GRI), Certified International Property Specialist (CIPS)

If you are buying property
Do you want your Realtor to tell you what you should buy. What you should not buy. What you need.

Or do you want to work with someone who listens to what you're saying. What you're thinking. What your priorities are. What your ideas are. What motivates you.

If you are selling property
Do you want your Realtor to just say "yes" to everything. Or do you want to be involved with someone who understands how the market works. Understands the process of selling. Can give you a good guide to pricing. Can help make your house more sellable. Can give you real supportive help through the process.

I have been in the "people" business all my life. Caring for people. Managing people. Supporting people. Helping them work to timetables and deadlines. Looking after the finer details of business. Negotiating with others. Making sure things go smoothly. I've worked in large corporations. I've run my own company for 18 years. I understand how business works.

I'm originally from London, England and, with my American wife Kitty, moved to Vero Beach in 2002. We love it here. We're both actively involved in the community. It's the best place in the world.

"If you need support in any Real Estate business, I'm your man. Just give me a ring and find out why so many others have been appreciative of my help.
