About Valerie
Equipped with a strong work ethic, an unbridled level of energy, a knack for computer technology and a clear desire to help people fulfill their dreams, Valerie is the realtor for you. She didn't just take the course and get her license. Her career began by first working in one of the busiest and most successful real estate agencies to learn the business from the inside out.
She knew that if she was truly going to represent clients in the most important and sometimes stressful purchase of their lives, she needed to understand the good, the bad and the ugly. She wanted to be able to be an advisor to her clients not just a chaperon. Then, when ready, in 2002 she obtained her real estate license and hasn't stopped using her talents.
She has continuously represented buyers and sellers in all NW Indiana counties carving out a niche in the area of relocation. And, while her practice has always been busy, she has found the time to give back by being on the cutting edge of changes in the law and herself and growing thru involvement in State and local real estate organizations.
After serving on the MLS, BOD for Greater NW Indiana Association of Realtors (GNIAR) in 2006 Valerie was elected President; in 2011 she was elected by her peers to the GNIAR board and in 2016 rose to President. In 2008 she was elected to the Indiana Association of Realtors (IAR) Board representing NW Indiana and the State at meetings and national conferences in Washington, DC. When you are prepared to take the next step you can be sure that Valerie will put her knowledge, talent, skills and energy to work for you. Call, email or text.
If you ask anyone who knew her before she became a realtor, they would likely tell you they are not surprised by her success because they would say "the same characteristics she has used in a lesser degree in her passion for her boxer dogs is what motivates her career". You see, since 1985 Valerie and her husband, Ken, have been breeding and showing champion boxer dogs (Gold Medal Boxers) and through painstaking efforts have created a bloodline sought after by other dog fanciers. But not one to cultivate this hobby for herself Valerie has for 20 years graciously given her time to mentor other breeders and pet owners talking to them about diet, exercise, a breeding program and the beauty and sometimes sadness of whelping a new litter.
A few years ago she even found a way to combine this passion with her career when she conceived of the Canine Commission Donation Program by which she donates a portion of her real estate commission fee to a charity selected by her client.
