Valerie Caccia is a born and raised San Franciscan, luxury real estate agent, author and newly emerged playwright. Her book How to Eat a Millennial…One Byte at a Time launched at the SF Ferry Building on December 17, 2019. SPIDERS The Play was published in June of 2022. Valerie has been selling real estate in California for over twenty years. She obtained a year of undergraduate education at University of San Francisco and graduated Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. Valerie has a love for both writing and real estate such as the favored Wildhorse Reserve in Napa, a modern masterpiece she sold for $7.4 M in July of 2020.
For over a decade, Valerie has found a soulmate in Sotheby’s. An innovative brand synonymous with luxury real estate and fine art, this corporate office is directly tied to the famed auction house in New York City. Sotheby’s is “the oldest and largest internationally recognized firm of fine auctioneers in the world”, established in 1744. Sotheby’s International Realty (SIR), established in 1976, has become the “world’s premier luxury residential real estate brokerage”. Their vast global footprint consists of 1,000 offices in 79 countries and territories with annual sales of $204 Billion USD. A “PR powerhouse” together with a “PR power woman”. Valerie and her team of talented marketing and competent IT people focus on the established and emerging affluent in the Napa Valley, Calistoga, St. Helena, and Sonoma.
As a young girl, Valerie has fond memories of picking rapini (broccoli rabe) alongside her Italian grandmother in the vineyards, where she earned the nickname “Napa Val”. In 2006, Val was a team member on one of the original sales teams selling Whole-Ownership Units at The Westin Verasa. As sponsors of the Margrit Mondavi Summer Concert Series, watching fireworks over To Kalon Vineyard and listening to the music of the Preservation Hall Jazz Band on the Fourth of July, reminded her that she may have left her heart in San Francisco, but her soul is definitely in Napa. The Westin Verasa is considered the beginning of the transformation of the downtown Napa area into the vibrant, diverse, and inclusive community it is today. No longer are the streets of downtown Napa, one-way. Local knowledge. Lifelong relationships. Multiple generations. Taking care of one another, this earth.
“Napa Val” is located in the cool SIR office in downtown St. Helena. Once a blacksmith’s shop, this renovated space on Adams Street exudes old and new world vibes. Val enjoys hiking, film, fashion, and traditional mother-daughter lunches at The Olympic Club in San Francisco, where the R. Frank Caccia family honors her father’s almost fifty-year membership legacy. Val’s Great Pyrenees dog, “C”, can often be found embraced in a hug or following her lead in the beautiful vineyards of Wine Country.
