Valerie was incredibly helpful as well as professional in selling my late brother’s home

Valerie was incredibly helpful as well as professional in selling my late brother’s home. During a difficult time & living across country her expertise was invaluable. Valerie went above & beyond to accommodate & communicate with our family. I without hesitation recommend her for all your real estate needs in San Diego. We were very satisfied with our experience in dealing with Valerie & Compass.

Valerie was amazing! If I could give her more than 5 stars I would

Valerie was amazing! If I could give her more than 5 stars I would. She was a true professional through the entire process of selling our home. Her attention to detail and her tireless work ethic helped sell our home fast and for an excellent price. She will be my "go to" agent in the San Diego area!

Working with Valerie was a wonderful experience

Working with Valerie was a wonderful experience. She was friendly, patient, and truly took the time to listen to our needs in order to find the best fit for us. At no point did we feel pressured to make a decision — she always put our priorities first. What impressed us most was her dedication and thoughtfulness. When a remote for our fireplace was missing, Valerie personally purchased a replacement for us and made sure it worked properly. That level of care and going above and beyond exceeded our expectations. We are very grateful for all of her help and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor who genuinely cares about her clients.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Valerie Upham on a transaction in Carmel Valley

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.
