About the Listing Agent

Meredith Van Vaals

COLDWELL BANKER REALTY

Real estate, to Meredith Van Vaals, is fascinating, strategic and personal. She deeply cares about your success. A proud member of the Coldwell Banker Global Luxury® Group, Meredith brings a rare blend of high-level business acumen, refined marketing expertise, and heartfelt connection to Southwest Florida. Meredith is known for her concierge services to assist selling, buying, and renting luxury homes. Though raised in the Midwest, her roots in Florida run deep. From the time her grandfather served as mayor of Naples, she knew this coastline would one day be home. That calling led her to St. Pete Beach in 2005 and eventually to Lakewood Ranch in 2008, where she and her husband now live, work, and fully embrace the Southwest Florida lifestyle. It’s this firsthand experience—combined with a genuine love for the area—that allows Meredith to guide her clients with insight and confidence. With a master’s degree in business and marketing and a background as a Fortune 500 sales executive, Meredith is exceptionally equipped to navigate complex negotiations and high-stakes transactions. She approaches every deal with knowledge and strategy. For buyers, she presents clean, competitive offers designed to win in Florida’s demanding market. For sellers, she delivers a comprehensive, high-touch marketing experience—overseeing professional photography, staging, targeted advertising, and every detail through closing—to ensure each home is positioned to stand out. Meredith is particularly focused on waterfront real estate-- which is complex and exciting. Meredith’s expertise extends beyond traditional residential sales. She works closely with investors to identify opportunities, place qualified tenants, and maximize long-term returns. She is also a trusted relocation specialist, assisting clients moving from across the country and around the world with a seamless transition into Southwest Florida. Known for her commitment, responsiveness, and ability to go above and beyond, Meredith believes exceptional service is not optional. Whether buying, selling, renting, her clients value her honesty, sophistication, and relentless dedication to achieving results. Meredith primarily focuses on Waterfront properties- which can be tricky and you need an experienced leader driving that transaction. Luxury is not just a price point—it’s an experience.
