Realtor® · Lic #3631505

Hi, I'm Lauren Bailey, a licensed Realtor proudly serving Lake County and the Central Florida area through Central Lakes Realty. I believe real estate should feel personal, supportive, and exciting — not overwhelming — and I'm passionate about helping my clients feel confident and informed throughout the process. With a background in customer service, marketing, and business ownership, I bring a relationship-first approach built on communication, trust, and attention to detail. I'm known for being responsive, resourceful, and genuinely invested in helping my clients find the right fit for their goals and lifestyle. While I assist with all types of residential real estate, I've developed a strong passion for vacant land and unique properties throughout Central Florida — earning the nickname "Lauren the Land Lady." I enjoy helping clients navigate everything from zoning and flood maps to buildability and long-term property potential. Whether you're buying, selling, investing, or simply exploring your options, I'd love the opportunity to help make the process feel smooth, informed, and enjoyable. Let's connect — I'd love to hear your story and see how I can help!

Michele Pietrowski

Realtor® · Lic #3372217

I don't just sell homes in Central Florida; I live the lifestyle every day. From the quiet mornings on our local lakes to the energy of our growing downtowns, I know the heartbeat of this region. As your Realtor, my goal is to bridge the gap between where you are and where you belong. I am a firm believer that real estate is about more than property — it is about people, coffee shop recommendations, and finding the perfect spot to call home. Real estate is a people business first, and as someone who has never met a stranger, I thrive on building genuine connections with my clients. When I am not helping you find your dream home, you can usually find me embracing everything that makes Central Florida special. I am a huge animal lover, a regular at local concerts, and a firm believer that a day at the beach is the best kind of therapy. I also have a major case of wanderlust — whenever I can, I am planning my next tropical vacation to recharge under some palm trees.

You can ask us anything first

Most people who call us aren't ready to buy or sell yet. That's fine. Ask the awkward money questions now, before it costs you anything.

We live on these lakes

Tavares, Mount Dora, Eustis, Leesburg. We know which docks reach open water and which downtown you can walk to at night.

Nobody gets handed off

The Realtor you meet is the one at your closing. Banking and title backgrounds on this team, so the paperwork stops being a mystery.

Not sure who to ask for?

Tell us what you're after — a dock out back, a walkable downtown, a first house you can actually afford — and we'll point you to the person on this page who knows that corner of the county best.

Or just stop by. Coffee's usually on.

113 E Main St, Tavares, FL 32778

We'll only contact you about this. No lead lists, no drip spam — and you can tell us to stop any time.
