After a long career in the non-profit world, Valerie is excited to bring her love of helping others to her approach to guiding people through the stressful process of buying or selling a home. Born and raised in central Ohio, she has also lived in Texas and Idaho prior to moving to California since 2012. Whether you're looking to sell your home to make a cross-country move, looking for a bigger - or smaller! - home in a community you already love, or just seeking some peace and serenity in one of the beautiful outlying rural areas within driving distance of Silicon Valley, she would love to help you!
