Associate Broker Licensed in DC-MD-VA Sales Associate – CA |
Now a seasoned homeowner and real estate investor, Valerie bought her first home in 1977 -- a three-bedroom, one-bath, aluminum-sided bungalow in the suburbs of Detroit. The house was listed for $22,500 and had a tiny kitchen with no appliances. Several rooms were dressed with metallic wallpaper and the large utility area had been painted half blue and half yellow -- horizontally! Nonetheless, she was delighted with her first purchase.
Twenty years later, Valerie began selling real estate professionally. She has consistently ranked in the top 2% of her firm and is a 4th year member of Prudential’s Real Estate Network’s Chairman’s Circle. Since 1997, her business has grown by 760%, with a sales volume of nearly $100 million and hundreds of satisfied clients.
A graduate of Florida State University, Valerie has also been a government executive, a diplomatic envoy, a marketing consultant, an educational administrator, a financial officer, a property manager and a construction supervisor. She has lived in eleven states, the District of Columbia and two foreign countries, and has moved a total of 39 times.
Valerie feels that her varied, international background, her ability to quickly adapt to change and her talent for organizing and multi-tasking greatly contribute to her success. She sums up her role as your real estate agent this way…
“I will listen to what you say, read between the lines, interpret your body language and burrow into your head to clearly understand your goals and help you achieve them. Your time is extremely valuable -- and so is mine -- so it is essential that I quickly assess how you prefer to conduct business and respond with flexibility, creativity, reliability and integrity.”
