Valerie moved with her husband and two children to Rockport in 1999 from Fairfield County, Connecticut in search of 'the way life should be' and is very happy she did! Moving to Maine ended her family's search for a great place to raise children with the bonus of a day-to-day lifestyle surrounded by beautiful vistas, charming period architecture and the warmth of small town life.
Valerie's life-long interest in period architecture and design began with innumerable house tours as a child with her parents in New England and the British Isles. As an adult she relished the treasure hunt of shopping for houses and renovating antique and period homes. After avidly following the local real estate market for herself and friends for years, Valerie finally made it official and became a Realtor. Nothing would make her happier than listening to your 'must-haves' and wish list items while enthusiastically searching for your perfect house in Maine!
Client Reviews
Valerie has been the consummate real estate professional throughout my entire experience. She was referred to me by a trusted contact. From the beginning, she consistently kept me informed with listings that specifically met my narrowly defined search criteria. Near the end of my process, I suddenly changed direction and she seamlessly adapted without skipping a beat. I have always lived in another region so Valerie’s local experience and skill at “speaking Maine” are what made the negotiations successful and the entire process effortless on my part. After my purchase, she continued to support me with proven, high-quality contacts from construction to banking to lifestyle recommendations. Without hesitation I recommend Valerie to anyone who needs a real estate professional in our area. - John E.
Valerie helped us buy a home on a tight timeline at the end of Summer 2021, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy in the area! She was quick to respond via text, phone call, and email, and she brought clarity to the entire process with a detailed timeline and clear deliverables. In helping us craft our offer, Valerie gave us more than just relevant comps in the market. She provided insights as to why specific homes trended above or below the average, and when she was unsure of the answer, she went to go figure it out. She also helped us think through additional aspects of the offer, beyond just the number (e.g. inspections, financing, etc.). Once the offer was accepted, and we moved towards closing, Valerie provided us with great recommendations for various other service providers to make sure everything went smoothly. She even jumped in to attend the final walkthrough via FaceTime when a change of plans prevented us from attending in person. Throughout the entire process, Valerie offered facts, advice, and insights without imposing her own views or opinions. She made us confident home buyers and took the stress out of what could have been a stressful process! - weisgall
Valerie helped me sell my home in Cushing and purchase a condo in Camden. She was fantastic. She doesn’t try and impose her views on your decision making process but offers facts, local knowledge and perspectives to help you make a decision. She is always available and very responsive to address issues. I highly recommend her. She has a great sense of humor and is a delight to work with. - jerogers0
Valerie was an invaluable asset when hunting for a home across the country. She had incredible knowledge of the local area, was kind and patient with our questions and was relentless in finding answers. She truly left no stone unturned when it came to the history of the home we were considering -- whether it was the boiler or the septic system. Detail-oriented, pragmatic and unafraid to (politely) offer her professional opinion, she was a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. - westcoast443
