Valerie Lewis

With over 25 years of distinguished experience as a Broker/Realtor®, Valerie T. Lewis is a seasoned real estate professional known for her market intelligence, integrity, and refined client service. Her passion for real estate is matched only by her commitment to helping others achieve their dreams—whether that's acquiring a luxury residence, selling a legacy property, or making a strategic investment.

Valerie's philosophy is simple yet profound: real estate is not just about buying and selling homes—it's about lifestyle, legacy, and long-term vision. She approaches each client relationship as a trusted advisor, guiding them through complex transactions with discretion, strategy, and personalized attention.

As a Charlotte market expert, Valerie leads with deep insight, local knowledge, and a results-driven mindset. She and her dedicated team consistently exceed expectations by delivering concierge-level service tailored to the unique goals of high-net-worth individuals, investors, and families alike. Her clients value her sound judgment, honest counsel, and willingness to make tough decisions in their best interest—even when others won't.

In 2007, Valerie took a bold step forward by founding TradeStreet Realty, a boutique real estate firm in Uptown Charlotte. For ten years, she successfully led a talented team of 12 agents and staff, further solidifying her reputation as a leader in Charlotte's real estate community. Today, she brings her seasoned expertise and entrepreneurial spirit to Compass, offering clients the perfect blend of boutique service and global reach.

A proud North Carolina native and longtime Uptown Charlotte resident, Valerie is deeply invested in her community. Beyond real estate, she dedicates her time to initiatives that empower women and youth, volunteers with local schools, and has held leadership roles on the Landmark Commission, including service on the Education Committee and Design Review Board.

Family is at the heart of everything Valerie does. She is the proud mother of two accomplished adult children and a devoted grandmother of four. Her son, Randal E. Baker, is an industrial engineer and NC State graduate, married to Kelly Howard Baker. Her daughter, Zekia N. Lewis, is a proud alumna of North Carolina A&T State University.

When she's not serving her clients or her community, Valerie enjoys reading, running, shopping, traveling, and cheering on her hometown teams—the Charlotte Hornets and Carolina Panthers—as a proud PSL holder.
