I worked with Valerie to sell a property in the remote "Willow Springs" area off Panoche Road in Paicines and was delighted with the results and the experience.

First, no realtor knows the area better than Valerie, she has maintained connections with the locals and knows most on a first name basis and is familiar with the current property inventory and what else may come on the market.

Second, she was aggressive at getting the property promoted and priced right.

Third, she was extremely helpful in getting all the inspections and some minor maintenance/repair work scheduled and executed. I was working out of state at the time and would not have been able to complete the transaction without her help.

I strongly recommend Valerie for anyone looking to buy or sell in the Hollister/South Bay area!

Don't take chances with your investment - use the best and that is Valerie! We met at an open house and then we moved out of the area only to return a year later. We looked her up and together we found a home and purchased it. We then sold that home and Valerie took care of us again. None of the transactions were simple or easy and Valerie's experience was invaluable and her advice was timely and exceptional and provided outcomes that were positive and stress free for us.

I was fortunate to meet Valerie at an open house in Seaside, CA. Being a first time home buyer, Valerie did a great job of explaining the steps and requirements throughout the process. She was available for all my questions and ensured my concerns were met, even after the sale was complete.

Valerie, Thank you for making the Home buying process an awesome memory! I look forward to working with you again.

Valerie Smith is hands down the most professional, approachable, and experienced agent that I have had the delight of working with. In a commission based industry, it can be difficult to find someone that is truly ethical, professional, and in line with the clients best interests. Valerie rises far above the mediocre as a remarkable virtuoso in her field.

Not all transactions are created equal! Utilizing Valerie as part of my business, I ask a lot of questions, I inquire on many properties, and I put forth deals that are far from convention. Most agents would shy away from the task, but Valerie will treat the most complex and troublesome transactions with the same fervor and focus as she would the more slam dunk type deals. Valerie is in business for the long-term, lasting relationships.

Not only does Valerie maintain a high cadence of professionalism and aplomb in handling the nuts and bolts of each transaction, she has the uncanny ability of being able to approach the other clients’ representation with an individualized modus operandi, exercising the utmost respect and sensitivity to their perspectives and needs; a true steward of professionalism.
Valerie is an integral part to my business of building and selling homes, and truly brings value to each transaction. There are never any excuses, cover-ups, shirks or shrugs, Valerie is as straight-forward and as knowledgeable as they come. I would recommend her to even the most discerning buyers, sellers, contractors, and the like.

Valerie is an outstanding and hard working broker. She will spend the time to take you through the process and she an eye for details. If you're an inexperienced buyer or seller, its ok. She won't treat you like an inexperienced buyer or seller or make you feel like you're asking a bad question. She values the relationship formed during the deal closing process and that type of professionalism is hard to find.

Desperate house hunter
OMG I cannot find enough words or good things to say about Valerie. We have looked for houses in Hollister for a few years and the timing was never right. My husband and I had to find a house in Hollister FAST. We were renting a condo in Monterey and needed to move to Hollister ASAP. We called Valerie and she told us to come right over. When we arrived she had printed out photos and descriptions of houses in our price range and we jumped into her car and started the hunt. At the end of the day we found a house . . . and we moved in within a month. AMAZING!!! She was there for all the inspections. Found us a painter and met him at the house so he could begin painting within a few days. She met us at the bank to make sure the loan had NO problems. Valerie is by far the greatest real estate salesperson we have ever worked with, and we have bought a few houses. I HIGHLY recommend Valerie!

I found Valerie through an ad on craigslist. Rural property at what was thought "to good to be true" pricing. She assured me it was a legitimate ad and offered to show it to me. We visited the property...she was very familiar and knowledgeable about the area. I made an offer a couple of days later, and by the end of the day she had an answer for me. Arrangements were made quickly and I took ownership within 15 days. Valerie was instrumental in coordinating everything necessary to accomplish everything in such a short time frame. She also went out of her way to assist me in getting an estimate for road repair. I can say without a doubt, that I would use Valerie's services again!

Valerie Smith worked as my agent to assist me with the sale of a 40 acre parcel of property in San Benito County, CA. The property is part of a ranch that had been subdivided into 40 acre plots, and it is remote from the nearest town. In fact, it is so remote that for the last 30 minutes of driving to/from the property there is no cell phone coverage. Needless to say, there are some challenges to find an appropriate buyer for a property of this nature. Valerie was always responsive to my questions during the selling process, which became particularly helpful once a buyer made a bid. She also had several useful recommendations on how to negotiate the sale in ways that were helpful. Given my experience, I'd be willing to refer Valerie to a person in the market to either buy or sell property in CA.

Valerie Smith is the best! I wanted to sell my mobile home and was afraid that I would get shorted since the commission on the sell wasnt a lot of money. Valerie was more than willing to help and went above and beyond. Valerie kept me up to date and always answered quickly when I had a question. I would recommend Valerie to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.

As an investor I have been fortunate to have Valerie Smith as my trusted real estate advisor. Valerie has successfully negotiated 3 transaction on my behalf and I wouldn't think of using anyone else. Valerie is extremely knowledgeable in complicated transactions such as short sales and foreclosure which is the type of sales she guided me through successfully. Always professional and a joy to work with.
