Testimonials

Valerie made buying our home in Serra Village a breeze! She was responsive, professional, and in total alignment with us in terms of what we were looking for. Valerie guided us smoothly from the exclusive showing to closing day, and her attention to detail ensured that things got done. She was always available whenever we needed her and knowledgeably answered our questions along the way. If you want a responsive, expert real estate agent, look no further!

Valerie and her team were invaluable in helping me prepare and sell my house. I knew I needed to deal with some deferred maintenance, but Valerie helped me identify which items made sense to take care of and how best to handle them. She then managed nearly every aspect of the work, including finding quality vendors and contractors who got the jobs done at reasonable cost and on schedule. My house ended up selling well above the asking price, without even minor issues. Valerie also made the closing process effortless. I'm very happy to have been able to work with her through what might otherwise have been a very stressful process. If I had it to over again, I don't think I could have found a better person to work with.

Out of a crowded field of realtors, I chose Valerie Merklin and was ever so glad I did. She was the consummate professional and made the selling process easy. I was impressed with her deep knowledge of the area market and she provided a pricing strategy that was spot-on given the unpredictable market at the time. She advised me on what made economic sense to do to the house to prepare it for sale and kept me from spending money on renovations that wouldn't have provided a return on my investment. Valerie was in regular communication which made what could have been a highly stressful closing process completely seamless and hands-off - especially since I had already moved out of state. If you're looking for a top-notch agent, you can't go wrong with Valerie and I can't recommend her highly enough. I wouldn't hesitate to use her again.
