Hi! My name is Valerie and I can truly say that I love my career. Being a Realtor allows me to help people in a different way, and it has been more rewarding than I could have ever imagined! I recently obtained my Associate Brokers License, and am very proud of this accomplishment. The various classes and exams that I had to take taught me so much and have better prepared me to assist and serve my clients! I have the expertise to assist both sellers and buyers in any transaction. I serve Somerset, Cambria, Westmoreland, and Fayette counties.
A Little About Me
I am a full-time Realtor with over 5 years of real estate experience, obtaining various awards and designations along the way. With a degree in Health Care Administration, previous to real estate I worked as a practice manager in the medical field. Working in healthcare has instilled the importance of communication and integrity in me. I have a very easy-going and fun personality (I love to laugh), but have a knack for organization. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my best friend and husband, Clint. I also enjoy volunteering, hiking, kayaking, skiing, reading, and cooking.
