Experience & Education: Ariella Valente is a luxury residential Realtor, visionary negotiator, and trusted market expert proudly affiliated with Oceans Luxury Realty. Based in Ormond Beach, Ariella is deeply immersed in the Volusia and Flagler markets, where she specializes in luxury real estate for clients seeking not just a home, but an elevated lifestyle.

A proud University of Florida alumna, Ariella earned her Bachelor of Science in Finance with a minor in Advertising. She launched her career at just 22 in the mortgage industry, quickly rising to become a million-dollar top producer with Countrywide. When the market shifted in 2007, she seamlessly pivoted into luxury timeshare sales, consistently ranking among the top national performers.

Entrepreneurship & Leadership: In 2014, Ariella married restaurateur and entrepreneur Joe Valente, and together they built a dynamic portfolio of more than 15 residential and commercial investment properties. After welcoming twins Claire and Cole, she brought her proven sales expertise, financial insight, and deep market knowledge into residential real estate. She began with Coldwell Banker, where she quickly became a top producer, ultimately founding her own boutique brand, The Valente Group.

Signature Approach: Known for her polished, professional, and deeply personalized approach, Ariella curates each listing with meticulous care. She stages every property to perfection, personally attends every showing, and markets homes to a refined network of high-net-worth buyers nationwide. Whether representing a $500K coastal retreat or a $3M gated estate, she delivers a concierge-style experience that anticipates her clients’ every need. Her commitment to elevating the client experience led her to partner with Oceans Luxury Realty — the region’s premier name in high-end real estate — offering white-glove service backed by the resources of a renowned luxury brokerage.

Life in the Community: Today, Ariella is a long-time resident of Plantation Bay, offering unmatched local expertise and a deep connection to her community. Outside of real estate, she can be found on the Pilates reformer, preparing healthy lunches for her twins, planning her family’s next adventure, or enjoying the local arts and culinary scene. She also enjoys hosting dinner parties, supporting local charities, and volunteering at her children’s school — a true balance of professional excellence and a life well-lived.
