Valerie Nielson of CENTURY 21 Shea Realty

Valerie was an absolute godsend to us during our homebuying process. The lender we worked with had nothing but issues and threw roadblock after roadblock in our way along with dropping the ball several times with paperwork. Throughout the process Valerie was on the ball and followed up with them at every step and stayed on them to make sure that we closed when we were supposed to. Prior to finding our house, she showed us dozens of properties and was very open and honest with us about every house we looked at. We never felt pressured to buy and we ended up purchasing a house almost 100k lower than we had qualified for. She made it clear that it wasn't about the money or commission to her, but that we were happy with the house we chose. If you want someone to represent your best interests, keep things 100% honest, perfectly set expectations, and someone that knows her stuff, then Val is the realtor for you.

Valerie is extremely knowledgable and trustworthy. Her combination of local market understanding and strong relationships with other agents and buyers makes her an extremely dynamic agent. I would highly reccomend her to family and friends.

At the time I found myself needing to sell my house and property, I had two very sentimental elder disabled people with multiple pets and limited income staying in the home. I felt it imperative that their transition to a new, affordable home with a well-fenced yard for their furry companions, would be a gentle one. Valerie Nielson was compassionately on board from the start, working patiently and tirelessly to ensure their needs and my concerns were addressed and met at every step. She diligently kept us immediately and thoroughly informed throughout the entire process. Her knowledge, professionalism, and kindness resulted in a smooth and jubilant closing for all. Valerie is not only a superb real estate agent, she's a superb human being!

She was good with explaining needed documentation and why it was required. She was very good with negotiating changes to the agreement when necessary while still keeping sight of my desires as a seller. Definitely excellent with communication, timely and clear.

Valerie backed one of my great friends through my buying journey. I believe I couldn't have done it without her and I'm so thankful I had her with me through it all. I wouldn't want anyone else to help me and I would recommend her to anyone.

It was such a pleasure working with Valerie. She was cooperative and very knowledgable. She walked us through every step of the way. She anticipated out needs. I will work with her inthe future.
