- Paramjit GillValerie helped us buy a magnificent house in Roseville, CA. We feel so fortunate to experience her honest, courteous, knowledgeable professional expertise for the second time. She was always available to answer any questions/concerns that helped us reach correct decision. She made the whole process so easy for us . Wish I could give her 10 stars out of 5. Valerie also got us connected to the other services that were equally important to purchase the house and we appreciate a lot. We will not hesitate to contact her again when needed. I want to thank her for her untiring patience. I know that we would not have been able to make this happen without her kind efforts. Thank you so very much. ❤️
- Karanbir GillValerie was particularly skilled at providing us with important information without including her own opinions, allowing us to make an informed decision based on our needs and comfort level with the various risks associated with each property. At no point did we feel pressured to choose a specific location based on Valerie’s opinions. Additionally, over time she learned from our feedback and helped us focus on the homes that would best suit our needs. Valerie’s effort and care was evident from the beginning as well as her willingness to understand our needs and wants. I hope to not have to buy a house again, but if I do Valerie will be the only call I will make.
- David BlumeValerie is a wonderful realtor. She is professional, knowledgeable, understanding, and effective. Highly recommended.
- John HalloranValerie Gross is one of a kind. Not only is she a smart and kind person, but she is a fierce realtor who goes to bat for her clients. When we first met at her office, she laid out the whole process to becoming first time home buyers. She did so in a clear and concise way that made a daunting process more manageable. When we finally got down to seeing homes, we dragged this poor woman all over the place. Dirt roads, high fire zones, industrial areas; it didn't matter. She set everything up regardless of the location, met us with a smile and kind word, talked through all the pros and cons of every property, and helped us find our home. We found it and she explained the whole process of putting in an offer and those next steps in complete, but understandable, detail. She guided us through a tough negotiation and helped get us into our dream home. We love our home and are so appreciative of the hard work she put in for us. If we ever decide to sell or buy, she will be our first call. You cannot go wrong if you chose to work with Valerie.
- FranklinValerie and her mentee met with me at my home on time and walked me through everything I wanted to know about selling it. Although later choosing to sell the home myself, I was thoroughly impressed by Valerie's presentation of market data and selling strategies for my particular home, along with leaving me an organized binder of all the print outs and documents I would need to make decisions for the best possible outcome. Valerie stands apart from the panel of other agents that I met with. Her distinguished customer care shines through; excellent service with a smile. Thanks for all your help!
- Melissa FroatsA friend of ours referred Valerie and said she was a great realtor who really knew the area. We were pretty picky in finding the right house for us. We were not really in a rush to find one but also still wanted to get in to somewhere soon to find a place we could call home. She toughed it out with us. She even worked around our schedule with having a little one. Such as later phone calls after he went to bed to discuss inspections and etc. She went above and beyond on many things. We really got to know her and trusted her expertise when it came to finding the right home. After searching our picky list and many houses later we had our eyes set on one and knew we wanted it. She was able to help us secure the home. We have been living in our home almost 3 months now and we are sooo happy with our purchase. It is the right, size, neighborhood and everything for our family. We cannot recommend her enough!!! She is amazing!!
- Ryan HoffmanI am delighted to give Valerie a glowing 5-star review for her exceptional work as the buyers agent for Alex and Suzie's first home purchase. Valerie's dedication, professionalism, and extensive knowledge of the real estate market made the entire process seamless and enjoyable for our clients. From the initial consultation to closing, Valerie demonstrated a remarkable level of expertise, guiding Alex and Suzie through every step with care and attention to detail. Her exceptional communication skills, responsiveness, and ability to negotiate ensured that my clients found their dream home at the right price. I wholeheartedly recommend Valerie to anyone in need of a skilled and reliable realtor.
- Naly ThaoValerie exceeded our expectations and have set the standards very high for a relator. We've worked with 3 different realtors in the past and have found Valerie to be the best realtor we've had. Why? She demonstrated knowledge of the areas we were looking at. She always came prepared with information on the home. Not only did she identify parts of the homes that may be a concern during appraisals, she also provided solutions to the concerns and how she can help us resolve them if needed. We never felt pressured to buy a home. When we bought the home, she even provided us with a house warming gift and remote garage clickers that were not given to us at the time of purchase. After buying the home, she even checked in with us to see if there were anything else we needed help with such as repairs and had a list of contractors she could offer us. We appreciated her help. The most memorable part of buying a home with Valerie's support was when an error on the last day of escrow and not being able to reach the escrow officer to fix it caused me anxiety and Valerie sprung right in to reassure me that everything will be okay and ensured this error was taken care of right away. She was really good at helping me manage my emotions throughout this stressful process and I trust that she will do the same for you.
- Michael BrownWe were referred to Valerie through a recommendation from a friend. From the first meeting we were convinced she was a perfect fit for us. She was approachable and down to earth, allowing room for us to express concerns or hesitations and ask plenty of questions. We knew next to nothing when it came to the home buying process but Valerie was more than willing to explain in simple terms what the process would look like without piling on too much information at once. She always helped us to focus on what was in the immediate future and not stress over the details. We ended up dealing with an extremely difficult seller, to say the least, but Valerie never once backed down. She fought for us every step of the way. In fact, she began to seek out additional wisdom from trusted figureheads in the industry to make sure she was making the best course of action and executing it with the utmost integrity. In the end, we got our first home with additional fixes that we weren’t expecting. Valerie did that. She and her team are exceptional and I cannot recommend her enough. Partner with her on buying or selling your home. You will not regret it.
- Nick SawyerValerie did an outstanding job and we are so thankful for her diligent work and tenacity through our first home buying experience. My wife and I promised ourselves we would not fall in love with any home, but ultimately the one we found was so unique we couldn't help ourselves. Upon review of the disclosures from prior inspections of our home, we noticed an issue that was going to be a dealbreaker. We were crushed. Valerie met with us to discuss the issue with the seller, called in an independent specialist to evaluate the issue, advocated for us and completed her role as intermediary, ensuring that our stress levels were kept at a minimum. She handled the entire process with the seller, lender, inspector, independent specialist and escrow agency with top tier professionalism and made herself available to us anytime we needed her. We are so pleased that everything worked out. As first time home buyers we were very naive to the process and Valerie went above and beyond for us. We can't thank Valerie enough. Definitely 5 stars and highly recommend!
- Kyle CameronValerie did a fantastic job helping me sell my home! She was extremely knowledgeable of the current market conditions and how to get my home listed and sold in a timely and efficient manner. Valerie and her team worked diligently once in contract to sell and had wonderful communication to help complete the escrow process swiftly.
- Rana MValerie is an amazing realtor! She is always prompt in her communications, happily answers any questions we may have, is thorough in her research, and is overall just great to work with. When going on tours of homes, she made sure to point out potential issues, as well as perks that we may not have noticed. She never pressured us to put offers on houses that may not have been perfect, and gave excellent guidance while writing offers. Just to put into context how great she is, we bought a house in one of the hottest sellers markets in the country, during one of the biggest sellers markets in history. We got the perfect house for a fair price, and even were able to negotiate substantial credits back from the sellers for repairs. In this market, that is unheard of, and we couldn't have done it without her. Valerie is a caring, thoughtful individual, and we absolutely recommend her!
- Megan ReevesValerie was the most helpful and pleasant person to work with. I would definitely use her for any future home purchases.
- Lola GomezValerie went above and beyond to find us our home. She was always there when we had a question and was very flexible with her time. She made us feel like we were her top priority. This the 4th house we have purchased and Valerie was by far the best agent we have ever worked with. If you are in the market for a new home Valerie the best.
