My name is Valerie Smith. I currently live in DuPont, Wa and have lived in the Pacific Northwest my whole life. I have a background in education, which greatly helps when walking new buyers and sellers through their transactions. I know how much information is involved and how to break it down so every step of the transaction is understood which in turn allows for better communication and paves the way to a successful closing. My ultimate goal is to ensure my clients needs are met 24/7 and put in exceptional effort to always answer emails, phone calls and questions quickly and concisely. I believe that buying or selling your home is one of the biggest financial decisions in your life and understand how important it is to have professional by your side who will work tirelessly to help you reach your ultimate goals.

Being someone who has grown up in the Pacific Northwest my entire life, I have an immense amount of knowledge about the area. Because I remain up to date in the real estate world I am able to bring you the latest information. I am always willing to help with any real estate needs. As a John L. Scott broker, my mission is transactional excellence and client satisfaction. That means I work to represent you and make your home buying or selling process as efficient, stress-free and lucrative for you as possible.

Representation

I take pride in offering high-caliber full-service residential real estate expertise. My clients are my top priority, and I focus on delivering the best possible results for them.

Expertise

The real estate market is hyperlocal, seasonal and temperamental—in other words, it can change on a dime. Technology has made information more accessible to everyone, but it can be difficult to keep up with recent events that affect home values. The benefits of working with a licensed real estate professional go far beyond what a mobile app, online video, or website can do.

I provide my clients with information on market seasonality and information relevant to what is happening in their specific neighborhood. This customized analysis includes recent comparable sales that factor into an offer and acceptance strategy.

Negotiations

Successful negotiations help move a conversation forward and transform the process into an agreement that’s a win for all parties. Negotiation is not only a skill, but a mindset. I keep my clients’ best interests top of mind as I negotiate on their behalf. 

Transactional Excellence

I am dedicated to transactional excellence for every listing and sale. What this means for you is that I oversee every detail of the real estate transaction. The transaction is far from over once an offer has been accepted. I monitor inspections, appraisals, title, escrow and loan processes. Communication and collaboration with all the partners and parties involved with the transaction ensures a smooth and timely closing. I am committed to my clients before, during and after a sale.
