I am a Florida native and an avid Gator fan! In 1989, I relocated to Gainesville from Vero Beach to attend the University of Florida, where I obtained my BS in Business Administration. I later followed my passion for creativity and design and attended Santa Fe College where I received my AS in Graphic Design Technology.
I started my real estate career at the age of 20 as a part-time leasing agent. By the age of 26, I had my real estate license and by 28, I had my Broker’s license. I have rounded out my real estate career as a Realtor, a Leasing Professional and a Property Manager. I have extensive knowledge about both the student and professional markets. I spent several years at one of Gainesville’s top Property Management companies and continue my career in sales at Gainesville’s number one real estate company, Coldwell Banker!
In between my real estate ventures, I pursued my creative career as a Graphic Designer. As an intern, I designed brochures for Santa Fe College. At Group 5 Advertising, I had the pleasure of contributing to ads campaigns for companies like Cox Communications. At CAPT, my attention to detail paid off as I contributed to their book designs. But my all time favorite was working for the University of Florida, where I redesigned “The Post” and was the staff designer and photographer for the Health Science Center News & Communications department.
I love working with both buyers and sellers! I consider myself a perfectionist and have a careful eye for detail which comes as an asset to my customers and clients. I have a passion for pleasing and I’m a problem solver by nature. I’m always looking for a way to make things better, whether it’s finding a creative way to get an offer accepted, an inexpensive way to declutter and stage a home or a renovation to transform a house into the perfect home. Give me a challenge and I’ll do what it takes to solve the problem.
I’m currently a USAA, Navy Federal and Cartus relocation specialist and work with VA financing for a majority of my buyers.
I’m a technology nerd by nature and love to learn. I’m currently on the 2018 Gainesville-Alachua County Association of Realtors Technology Committee, the Vice Chair of the Professional Development Committee and a member of the 2018 Leadership Development Team.
Giving back to my community is important to me and I support The Children’s Home Society, The Children’s Table, March for Babies, the Child Advocacy Center and a variety of other charities on an annual basis through food drives, toy drives and monetary donations.
I have a true passion for helping people, and there is no greater satisfaction than helping my customers and clients with one of the biggest financial decisions they will make in their lifetime…buying or selling their home. When I’m not selling real estate, I’m at the softball field with my daughter and husband…cheering on the most important people in my life!
Lisa’s Reviews:
Hannah V Heffington
When my husband and I decided to sell our home, we contacted Lisa Baltozer. Not only did she sell our house in just a matter of days, but she also found us a house to buy. We had a list of things we wanted to have in a house, and Lisa found a house that had everything we wanted. She was very efficient, and knew exactly how to go about finding the house we wanted. It was only a few weeks before we had made an offer on our new house. Lisa is very reliable, knows a great deal about her profession, and was very pleasant to be around. The sale of our first home and buying our second home was a very easy task because of Lisa. We couldn’t have asked for a more qualified or nicer realtor to work with.

I was looking to purchase a property for my daughter to live, as she will be attending the University of Florida in the fall. Lisa is extremely knowledgeable of the Gainesville area and in particular University of Florida, given she is alumni. Lisa listened to my needs and was extremely organized, she even asked which method of communication I preferred! Lisa quickly understood what I was looking for and used that information to proactively add/remove potential properties. Furthermore, my sister and I wanted to drive by some possible homes as we were coming to town. The night before, Lisa emailed me a list of potentials–in geographic order–so that our time was maximized. When we were to meet at various properties, she was always prompt and prepared. And while I was going through all of the emotions and different living options for my daughter, she remained ever-patient and understanding.My sister and I have each bought and sold several houses over the years and have worked with many realtors, but we both agree that Lisa is one of the (if not THE) most responsive, competent realtors with whom we have ever worked! We would highly recommend her!
Sincerely,

Lisa is the ultimate professional. We came to Gainesville knowing nothing of the area and with limited ideas as to our ideal home requirements other than relatively small and in a good community. She took us in and succeeded in finding us the exact home we could want. Although we did not choose to buy on our first visit, a home we liked was still available. We called her and eight hours later the offer was accepted, and on a Sunday. If you are looking for a superb realtor in Gainesville, we can recommend Lisa without any reservations.

I can’t say enough what an absolute pleasure it was working with Lisa on the sale of our condo. Lisa was professional, knowledgeable, responsive, helpful, timely, considerate and “on the ball” throughout the entire process. There is no doubt, Lisa had our best interest in mind every step of the way. Thanks to Lisa, she made selling our condo a simple, easy, and painless process. I would highly recommend Lisa to anyone looking for an outstanding realtor. She is awesome.

I closed on a house 2 weeks ago and would recommend Lisa to anyone wanting to buy a house. She was patient and knowledgeable about the different areas.

Lisa found us our dream home. As new homeowners, we are so grateful for all her help. From basic house-owner knowledge to understanding what we wanted from the neighborhood and house to guiding us through the legal parts. I would absolutely recommend!
Lisa Baltozer did an excellent job helping us locate and purchase an investment property. She patiently walked with us through many homes throughout Gainesville and gave us guidance on suitability as a rental based off her experience with property management. We were pleased with her negotiation of the final selling price and the remaining steps to closing. Highly recommend!

Working with Lisa was such a joy! She knew exactly what I was looking for and didn’t bother showing me anything out of my price range. Her knowledge and use of technology helped to save time and trips. After closing, Lisa was a wealth of information on recommendations for some remodel and cleanup resources. I would definitely recommend Lisa Baltozer to anyone looking for a realtor.
I was looking to buy a home in Gainesville after finding a job at UF. I was doing a long commute and Lisa was flexible about setting up showings and giving me info about the different areas. I was very picky and it was a sellers market, but Lisa was patient and showed me homes over several months. I closed on a house 2 weeks ago and am very happy with my choice. I would recommend Lisa to anyone looking to buy a home.
Thank you! I’m so glad we found you a house you can finally call home!

I was first-time home buyer trying to purchase a small historic home with a limited budget. There were so many puzzling choices and questions that needed answering. Lisa was there all the way with my home buying experience. She was patient while I looked at many homes trying to find what I needed for over a year. Most realtors would have given up, but Lisa kept trying to find me the perfect home within my budget. I highly recommend Lisa, she is patient, efficient, and knowledgeable and can put up with picky clients like me. Thanks again Lisa.

As a first time home buyer, Lisa was a God-send. She was patient and quick to answer all of my (sometimes redundant or silly) questions. She was helpful from the search process and what neighborhoods to look at to finding a plumber after closing. It really felt like I had a friend in my corner when dealing with not only the seller, but inspector, appraiser, and lender. She was wonderful!
