I came into contact with Valerie through a referral from my parents' real estate agent in Milwaukee. From the very beginning she was knowledgeable, friendly, and very involved. After a very short time, she had a great idea of what I was looking for and I only ended up looking at two places. The first was not the right fit for me, which she knew before we looked at it, but wanted me to see the unit regardless. She said it often helps if you see a place you know you DON'T want to help you figure out what you DO want. We discussed another condo in a building close to an area I loved, but ultimately decided that the layout wasn't something I liked. She then gave me some inside scoop and informed me that a different unit was JUST listed in the same building. She quickly set up a showing and I fell in love! We decided to move quickly because there were showings set up for the weekend and I didn't want to risk it. Valerie helped me quickly place an offer and negotiate a selling price so that things were taken care of before other possible buyers could see the condo. She stayed in contact through closing, sent me reminders, did check ins, and was a great go between with the listing agent. Since I purchased the condo alone, it was great to have Valerie there at closing for emotional support, and she kept me busy with great conversation while we waited. I would absolutely recommend Valerie to friends, family, and strangers alike. I am so happy with my new place and feel very grateful that the process was so painless thanks to Valerie and her recommendations.
