Local
Experience
Do-It-Alone
Unless you have some sort of insider knowledge, or crystal ball, you’re not going to know as much as you should about certain neighborhoods. To learn these things, you’re going to have to do some internetting, hop on Yelp or ask around a bit.
BUYING WITH US
With years of experience under my belt, I'm a true local expert. I can tell you all about the school districts, zoning codes, and where to find everything from the hottest coffee to the coldest ice cream.

Even if you’re a skilled poker player and have a black-belt in negotiation, it’s still important to do your research. You’ll be working directly with the Selling Agent & trust that you’re not being taken advantage of throughout negotiations & closing.

Dear San Diego Neighbors,
At the heart of every thriving neighborhood is the notion of home—the place where personal dreams take shape and lasting memories are created. Understanding this, we at the Valerie Upham Team dedicate ourselves to more than just real estate transactions. We commit to being your partners in turning your homeownership dreams into reality.
Every client we meet is embarking on a unique journey, whether buying their first home, upgrading to accommodate a growing family, or finding the perfect spot to enjoy retirement. Our role is to listen, understand, and execute with precision, ensuring that each step you take towards buying or selling a home is informed, confident, and tailored to your life's current and future needs.
With over 20 years of experience in San Diego’s real estate market, we’ve learned that what matters most is you. Your dreams. Your challenges. Your successes. That’s why we approach every interaction with a commitment to honesty, integrity, and personalized service. Whether you are navigating the market for the first time or are a seasoned homeowner, we are here to guide you with expert advice and unwavering support.
Our promise to you is simple: to keep your aspirations, your needs, and your hopes at the forefront of our efforts.
