“I recently had the pleasure of working with Valerie Upham on a transaction in Carmel Valley. Valerie is a true professional who maintains a calm, steady hand even when a deal gets complex. We worked closely together to navigate some tricky inspection items, and her commitment to finding a collaborative solution was key to getting us to the finish line. If you are looking for a Carmel Valley specialist who understands the nuances of working with senior clients who are downsizing, Valerie’s experience and dedication to her clients' success are self-evident.”
“Valerie was the key to our out-of-state move. Not only did she facilitate an effortless sale of our UC home (above asking price), but she patiently coached us through the many steps to prepare for moving and selling. Valerie has an accurate understanding of the market value, and a quiver of contractors on hand that she managed for prep work, resulting in no surprises.”
“Valerie helped us find and purchase our first home. She is very kind and detail oriented. She went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable, advocate for us, and answer our questions. She has many connections in the community and continued to help us even after the sale was completed.”
“Valerie is highly knowledgeable and professional, with a strong understanding of the market and a clear commitment to her clients. I've been impressed by the business she has built and the reputation she has earned through her integrity, communication, and attention to detail. Any buyer or seller would be lucky to work with Valerie!”
“Valerie made our dream come true: She sold our University City home in record time and above the asking price! I met Valerie at an event designed to help seniors with all their questions & information about selling their home. I learned a lot from her presentation at Compass, and we were very lucky a couple of months later to have her as our agent, expertly guiding us through selling our house. We really benefitted from her many years of experience & knowledge, and especially from her amazing talent of instinctinvely knowing the perfect property for her buyers. Valerie's instincts and sincere desire to help people make her an excellent agent and essential person to have leading your team as you sell or buy the house of your dreams!”
“We've used Valerie / Compass twice to sell our properties, and she doesn't disappoint. Valerie is excellent in advertising the properties, providing valuable guidance and information throughout the process. She made us at ease with getting the most value from the sales. In addition, Valerie has been an invaluable and involved member of our neighborhood and community since our move to the UC area.”
“Valerie provides a full service experience and knows what's important. I've had the opportunity to work with a couple of 'bulk' realtors from a popular website in the past and the best way I could compare the two is Valerie is more like a full service salon and the 'bulk' realtors are like an overpriced supercuts.”
“These are strange times; however, Valerie was able to make sense of the current real estate conditions and reassure me the recommendations she was making were based on two things.....market data and experience. These are two powerful tools she brings to the table. In my opinion, her experience truly carried the day. Of course, look at the market data but trust the experience of a seasoned veteran. Valerie is that trusted resource in an often-murky marketplace. Go with experience, Go with Val!”
“We are incredibly grateful to work and partner with Valerie in assisting her client. The collaboration was seamless from start to finish. We highly recommend Valerie and her team!”
“Valerie was a pleasure to work with. Her expertise allowed us to sell very quickly and at a great price. Furthermore, Valerie's various connections helped get us through unexpected hurdles. We're pleased with our overall experience and outcome. Thank you!”
