“Valerie was great to work with, went above and beyond when my lender dropped the ball and almost made me lose out on the house, not once but twice. Definitely did her job and then some to get me out of a bad situation I was dealing with. Valerie went out of her way to pick up my escrow check, was available always to take my call, never kept me waiting and found out answers to all my questions with-in a quick amount of time.”

“… knowledge of the market
and process is so impressive.”
“Two-weeks, three properties purchased.”
“[Valerie] was extremely helpful in helping us navigate through a 1031 exchange. We needed to purchase three properties in a short period of time, and she made it happen in two-weeks, three properties purchased! Valerie was in constant communication with my WHOLE family, and made sure we were aware of all the steps that were going to happen. She answered our questions over and over again, and handled the transactions beautifully. She’s definitely a go-getter, and she will go to great lengths to help her client(s). We will absolutely be using Valerie in our future endeavors. Thank you, Valerie!”

“… home of our dreams amidst a sellers market for a great price.”
“How lucky I was to get connected through realtor.com to Valerie! She helped me and my fiance purchase the home of our dreams amidst a sellers market for a great price. Her cheer, enthusiasm and humor made the process fairly painless – we miss her now that our transaction is over. Without hesitation I recommend Valerie – she truly cares about her clients, not just in words but in action.”

“We sure do appreciate all your efforts and professionalism.”
“My brother received a positive review to utilize your expertise from a co-worker. You did everything to make the home selling experience successful and stress free. Now you’ll have many more of us to provide awesome referrals. If anyone is moving to your locale from the Northwest, I’ll give you a glowing review. Hard to believe that our family home is transitioning onto another family to build their dreams. We’re happy for the Best family, it’s a nice place to live. In summary, we sure do appreciate all your efforts and professionalism!”
Kind regards,
“One word … Excellent.”
“One word … Excellent. We had to buy as many units as possible with significant time constraints and budget constraints. Valerie was able to provide timely, professional advice. In spite of a tight sellers market, we were able to negotiate and enter into escrow on 3 terrific units, all within 15 days of starting our search. Valerie is a PRO!”
-Michael Bourgeois
“… very honest and diplomatic as she dealt with us as the seller as well as the buyer.”
“I felt that she was very honest and diplomatic as she dealt with us as the seller as well as the buyer. We never got to meet Valerie as we had to conduct the sale online and by telephone which was, in itself, difficult. We would definitely recommend her.”
-Dr. Robert Gillett
“… knew how to help us through the process of selling and buying.”
“Valerie was extremely professional and knew how to help us through the process of selling AND buying. Valerie was good at directing what needed to be done to get the house ready for sale. She was great at helping my Mom find a new place too!!!!”
– Gabrielle Robin
“… would not hesitate to recommend …”
“Loved working with Valerie. She answered all our questions quickly and was always there getting us to have our process in order and moving forward. She even assisted several times in getting the sale of our previous home inline as we needed it sold to buy our next home. She was knowledgeable and there with advice when needed. Would not hesitate to recommend or have Valerie help us again. Would be a great asset to anyone who chooses her as their realtor.”
– Nisa Wotring
“… communicates well through the entire process …”
“Valerie is a consummate professional and very knowledgeable. She has a wonderful and engaging style but works for her clients like they are family. She communicates well through the entire process and goes out of her way to get things done in order to make the process as carefree as possible. What a wonderful experience! Hats off to Valerie.”
– Steve Propster
“We definitely made
the right choice …”
“We definitely made the right choice in having Valerie represent us for the sale of our parents house. I will definitely refer her to anyone I come across in Ventura County needing an agent because she is a true go getter with true professionalism. Valerie was referred to me by a friend and I couldn’t have asked for a better real estate agent.”
– Brian Rugg
“… sharp and experienced broker.”
“Valerie is a sharp and experienced broker. Perhaps her background in law helps with negotiation. She possesses the grit it takes to close incredibly difficult deals. We went through three other local area brokers, and all three weren’t really motivated, so we lost out on the ability to see and bid on the homes we were initially interested in. Finally, Valerie helped us get into a property and helped us close within 8 days from the initial offer. The seller was incredibly difficult to work with and even tried to sabotage the deal for her own convenience, but Valerie stayed the course and guided all parties along, to cross the finish line in record time. I’m so impressed. Without her, this nearly impossible deal wouldn’t have closed as quickly as it did.”
– Cara Austine
“… always available to answer questions and give advice …”
“We loved Valerie! She helped us every step of the way. She kept us on schedule and always moving forward on our home. She was always available to answer questions and give advice when asked. She even helped when the sale of our previous home stalled and started to hinder us in getting into our new home. Would not hesitate to recommend her services to anyone and if the need ever arises we will be calling her again. THANKS for everything!”
– Tom Wotring
“I will be forever grateful.”
“Moving from Orange County CA to Ventura CA during COVID. Could not have done it without Valerie. She walked me through EVERYTHING. So professional. Knows exactly what she is doing. I will forever be grateful.”

“… clients’ needs in the forefront and delivers excellent customer service.”
“Valerie was a gem to work with. She knew all the answers or if not, she got back with an answer almost immediately. I would highly recommend Valerie to any potential buyer. Valerie keeps her clients’ needs in the forefront and delivers excellent customer service. She kept us on track throughout the entire process and kept us up to date with what steps came next. We travel a lot and Valerie was still able to keep in touch with what was going on and what was needed by us even though we were in Japan for some things that needed signing. Thank goodness for Doc U Sign.”
– Lana Hanson
“Recommend her to help find your next castle, home, or abode.”
“Valerie Castle. Recommend her to help find your next castle, home, or abode. Valerie knows the biz. She talks the talk and walks the walk. We needed someone familiar with the market which is certainly challenging times for a buyer in 2021. We needed speed, delivery, and hustle for our purposes. Valerie has the know how and the show-how too. She also gave us equal parts knowledge and allowed us to do our own research. She didn’t spare a detail, and will take the time to explain the most minutiae of those details to you. We enjoyed working with Valerie and you will too.”
– Schwarz Family
“We made the right choice …”
“We made the right choice with Valerie. Buying your first home is very stressful, and she made the process much more manageable. We appreciate her guidance and her professionalism; helping us deal with the ins and outs of this whole real estate experience. We really love the home we ended up purchasing. Thank you Valerie!”
– Sarah Brooks
“… made what has traditionally been a very stressful process very easy and hassle free.”
“Valerie was very helpful throughout the whole process, she made what has traditionally been a very stressful process very easy and hassle free. Valerie went above and beyond multiple times and went beyond what is expected from a realtor.”
– Erik Wylie
“… we felt very well taken care of and represented.”
“Valerie is a seasoned real-estate agent who has become an expert in modern buyer trends which focus on internet shopping. She saved our family thousands in the sale of our parent’s home by only charging us only 1% interest and convincing the buying agent to accept 2%. Valerie referred us to affordable labor to help us get done the work that inspectors noticed and had scheduled timely open houses to generate interest (though she only had to have one before the house was listed:-) In the end, we didn’t feel that we paid exorbitant fees to real estate agents, but at the same time we felt very well taken care of and represented. Thank you, Valerie!”
