I am thankful for the exceptional service from Valerie in selling my mother’s home. She handled the process with care, professionalism and empathy, ensuring my mother was comfortable and informed throughout. Understand that my mother is 89 years old and does not have a cell phone or computer. Valerie made the extra effort to meet with my mother and walk her through each step at her home and kept me in the loop along the way. Valerie’s expertise and marketing are top-notch, leading to multiple offers quickly. My mother’s home sold well above list price and on the terms that were important to my mother. Valerie made the entire process smooth and stress-free for us. I have been recommending Valerie to my other clients for years and she knocked it out of the park for my family. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a property, especially those with elderly family members who need extra support.
