Valerie Smith is a licensed Sales Representative with Sotheby’s International Realty Canada, specializing in country homes and luxury rural properties throughout Simcoe County, Dufferin County, and Grey Highlands. Her practice is rooted in helping clients find — and successfully sell — distinctive country properties, including equestrian estates, farms, architecturally designed custom homes, and legacy residences with land, water, and privacy.

With years spent living and working internationally in Australia, Japan, and South Korea, followed by a career in international development and public health across Central and South America and East Africa, Valerie brings a global perspective and a deeply human approach to real estate. She is widely known as a connector — someone who understands how to align people, place, and purpose — and she brings that same philosophy to every transaction.

Based near Creemore, Ontario, Valerie’s primary focus is the country lifestyle markets of Southern Georgian Bay and the surrounding rural counties, where she is deeply embedded in local and equestrian networks. A lifelong horsewoman with elite show-jumping experience, she offers an insider’s understanding of equestrian properties and the communities that surround them.

In addition to her country practice, Valerie remains highly active in Toronto and works comfortably within a two-hour radius north, east, south, and west of the city, supporting clients whose lives span both urban and rural settings. When representing properties outside her core country markets, Valerie takes a strategic, client-first approach: she remains the lead advisor and primary point of contact, while thoughtfully partnering with specialized Sotheby’s agents when localized expertise or market-specific reach will add measurable value. This collaborative model ensures continuity, discretion, and best-in-class representation.

Valerie’s business is largely referral-based, built through long-standing relationships with friends, family, and past clients who value her integrity, responsiveness, and ability to go well beyond the expected. She is also committed to weaving social purpose into her real estate work, often convening community events that foster connection, engagement, and collective good.

Valerie lives near Creemore with her 16-year-old daughter and draws daily inspiration from the countryside — hiking local trails, riding, and helping others create meaningful lives rooted in place. As part of Sotheby’s International Realty Canada, she offers the strength of a global brand combined with a highly personal, thoughtful, and collaborative approach to luxury real estate.
