“Real Estate is not just a profession for me; it’s a passion deeply ingrained in my family’s history.” For Florence Ropelewski, being a realtor is more than just a transaction; it’s a blend of service to others, business acumen, entrepreneurial spirit, and a love for architecture and interior design.
Originally from Bordeaux, France, Florence’s roots in real estate trace back to her great-grandmother who embarked on a real estate career in the 1930s. Following in this legacy, Florence’s grandfather, inspired by his mother, became a real estate investor and established the renowned brokerage, ‘Agence Le Deunff,’ in Bordeaux.
Before diving into real estate, Florence spent a decade as a Marketing and Branding Executive in the Napa and Sonoma wine industry. Her journey led her to fall in love with the Bay Area, ultimately making it her home. After building a stellar reputation and a robust network in the Napa Valley, Florence returned to her real estate roots, obtaining her realtor license and founding L’AGENCE Napa Valley. As the team’s founder and leader, she brings fresh enthusiasm, a clear vision, and an award-winning skill set, coupled with an unwavering work ethic and proven marketing and negotiation expertise.
Florence stays abreast of the latest real estate statutes and regulations, prioritizing continued education and active involvement in local realtor associations to maintain a sharp understanding of the market. She is affiliated with professional organizations such as the National Association of Realtors (N.A.R.), California Association of Realtors (C.A.R.), NorthBay Association of Realtors (Napa Chapter), and BAREIS, our local MLS. Holding certifications such as First Time Buyer Specialist, Pricing Strategy Advisor, Short Sales and Foreclosure Resource, and Real Estate Investing from N.A.R., Florence is well-equipped to provide expert guidance.
With a Master of Science in Strategic Marketing with highest honors from INSEEC, a prestigious international business school in Bordeaux, Florence combines academic prowess with practical experience. Married to Richard Ropelewski, a corporate pilot, they are proud parents to two young sons, Adam and Matias. The Ropelewski family is dedicated to giving back to the community through volunteering in the community, sponsoring local organizations, and hosting community events.
