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!
Valerie was a pleasure to work with on the listing and sale of our home! She came well-informed and prepared to guide us through the process. Valerie had a strategy in mind from the onset, and also flexed as needed to ensure we were positioned as best as possible in the market. I would highly recommend Valerie and her team!
To sell our house, we chose Compass and Valerie Upham based on her community involvement in the schools my child attends. It turned out to be a great decision. From the start, we were treated with the highest care and patience through what can be a super stressful process. Valerie and her team were very responsive to our concerns and were absolutely supportive. Our house spent less than a week on the market, closed in a timely manner according to our needs, and sold for above listing. We could not be happier.
Working with Valerie and her team has been an absolute game-changer in our move to San Diego from Hawaii. Valerie is generous with her time, wisdom, and recommendations and absolutely lovely to collaborate with. I'm especially grateful that Valerie spent 3 days with us exploring every neighborhood we could think of, explaining the pros & cons of different location choices, and transparently sharing whether properties were aligned with similar properties. We anticipate having to buy sight-unseen, and the only reason we're comfortable with this is because we trust Valerie implicitly and without hesitation to act as our on-the-ground eyes. As an active duty family, having a point of contact who understands that our purchase timeline is dependent on factors outside of our control -- like the receipt of hard copy orders -- has made planning our overseas move much less stressful. We are grateful to have Valerie on our team and have no doubt that, with her joyful guidance, we will find the perfect home!
Valerie Upham was truly exceptional. She was the right agent to support us with a sale that had many twists and turns. Valerie was patient and worked through some tough situations. Her knowledge of the market, negotiation skills, and good all-around energy gave us confidence that she would get it done—and she did!
Valerie’s dedication, professionalism & friendliness, made my home buying experience enjoyable. If it wasn’t for Valerie and her team my husband and I won’t have completed our goal.
Working with Valerie Upham with Compass Real Estate was a pleasure. When It was time to list my uncles’ home in San Diego, she prepared an awesome plan to explain how she & her team would market the property to attract the right buyer & sell for top dollar. She explained the process from beginning up to the time of closing escrow. She is very professional, knowledgeable, and always took her time to explain anything that we were not familiar with. I highly recommend Valerie to anyone looking for an agent to market their home.
I had the pleasure of working with Valerie Upham on the sale of my Uncle's property in San Diego. Escrow closed today--on schedule--and the sale was as smooth as possible thanks to Valerie! She expertly and efficiently managed the entire process from start to finish--every detail was taken care of proactively, and I didn't have to stress or worry because I knew she was always a step ahead. Valerie coordinated all the necessary professional services to get the property ready to show, recommended the best marketing strategy which resulted in multiple offers and the highest sales price possible, and she communicated effectively with all parties involved from listing to close of escrow. I appreciate and highly recommend Valerie Upham and her team. Thanks Valerie!
We just closed on our home with Valerie Upham and we were so happy to have her as our agent. As a first-time home buyer, it is simply a *lot*. We underestimated the complexity of buying a home and the sheer amount of work it takes to coordinate not only buyers and sellers but also inspectors, lenders, underwriters, insurance companies, and contractors. This is exactly why you need an experienced agent to guide you through the process, listen to you when it seems like the sky is falling, and remain levelheaded as you work together through each obstacle you come across. We had a few unexpected surprises during our inspection/escrow period across the different aspects of the transaction from the house to financing and insurance. Valerie was able to deftly prioritize and address each concern while still closing in a timely manner. Her personal yet professional manner helped us remain calm and confident that we were making the right decisions along the way. We highly recommend Valerie and team to help others navigate this competitive market.
Valerie and Tom were both very helpful throughout our first home buying process. Would recommend them to others searching for a realtor who cares.
Valerie Upham and her team were fantastic to work with when we purchased our house. She has a patient, customer-first approach and is an absolute pro at every step of the process. Being able to leverage her deep experience and knowledge of the market gave us total confidence when we needed to make the 20 or so key decisions over the time we worked together. Working with Valerie is a true partnership with a consummate professional who is fully engaged and feels as invested as you in the process. Valerie insisted on being kept in the loop even while she was on her vacation. After a long search, we found just the right property that Valerie negotiated a great value price and we had a fantastic experience. And after the purchase, Valerie was invaluable providing access to her pre-vetted network of professionals to perform work on the property. I highly recommend Valerie.
Working with Valerie's team was a great decision. From the first showings to closing on a home, they were always available and know the market. It was truly a smooth process!
