After living all over the world, I made Florida my home! I was born in the former Soviet Union, in the city of Tashkent in what is now called Uzbekistan, and I have been a naturalized US Citizen for over a decade. I spent my childhood between Moscow and other international cities, including Cairo and Tripoli. I am fluent in English, Russian and Italian. After earning my PhD in English Grammar in Moscow, I taught English and eventually was named a Fulbright Scholar and began teaching at The George Washington University (GWU) in Washington, DC. After a stint working at the US Embassy in Tashkent, I moved to Washington DC full time and became a faculty member at GWU for 10 years before my husband and I decided to leave the Washington, DC area for Florida. I moved to Florida because I love the natural beauty and lovely weather here on Florida’s Suncoast, and the fantastic location, convenient to all transportation hubs as well as our beautiful beaches and wildlife. I love working with people. I worked at the American International School in New Delhi, India, and have taught at several colleges and universities. At the US Embassy in Uzbekistan I worked for the US Department of Commerce as a liaison between American companies and local governments and businesses. Travel is my passion. Everywhere we go I love meeting new people, listening to their stories and learning more about different cultures. I grew up in Egypt and lived in India for almost three years. We traveled to Libya, Tunisia, Malaysia, Thailand, Turkey, Hong Kong, Indonesia, New Zealand, Australia, and almost everywhere in Europe. I want to meet you and learn more about your culture and interests! I am very analytical and I love everything to do with real estate! I have bought, sold, redecorated, and improved many homes throughout the world and I feel uniquely qualified to help you find your dream home!

BobFV, Manatee County Florida
Delia Valente is the very best agent you could ask for in Pinellas, Manatee, and Sarasota Counties in Florida. She is extremely knowledgeable and she knows all the other real estate professionals in the area. Her professionalism gave us confidence that the deal would be done correctly, and it was!

Eleonora Gaivoronski, Natick MA
It was really complicative to find and buy a house online. Delia had performed showing of the houses via Whats up and she was very helpful when we did discuss area and house. She is a very knowledgeable, all our questions and conserns very addressed and answered. With Delia we had risked to buy a house not knowing and not being in the area before, so we trusted her opinion very much. We would highly recommended Delia to the people who are at the same situation.
