Valerie did an outstanding job helping us navigate the home buying process in a competitive environment. She was patient with understanding what we were looking for even if it evolved over time, was very easy to interact with, and always very reachable and responsive. She has a very good understanding of the local real estate market as a local resident herself, and is able to highlight the differences and pros/cons of each town and market trends. Valerie comes across as experienced and trustworthy in terms of knowledge of the region, and is eager to help people find their dream home. She was there through the entire process through offer negotiation, inspection, appraisal and closing. She went above and beyond in helping negotiate the deal in the middle of a long weekend holiday, when the sellers previous accepted offer fell through and we had an opening to jump in and present our offer. She is not only good at her job, but also very pleasant to interact with. We would highly recommend Valerie for any of your real estate needs in the Westchester area based on our experience.
