Bio
Valerie offers a one-two punch of computer savviness and investment<br />experience that give her clients an edge in the constantly changing<br />world of real estate.<br />She is a techno-savvy Realtor with a Computer Science Degree from<br />Georgia Tech and the internet knowledge to maximize your home’s<br />exposure. In 2009, she won The REALTOR.com technology award of<br />excellence. Valerie has ended the past couple years with an 88-89%<br />listing to transaction ratio.<br />A Georgia Tech graduate with a degree in Information and Computer<br />Science, she not only understands the importance of using the Internet<br />to find, analyze and evaluate the housing market, she can also use the<br />technology proficiently to obtain the best exposure for selling your home.<br />Valerie's Georgia Tech education taught her to "think outside the box" in<br />finding solutions to problems. This helps her create a win-win situation for<br />all her clients — whether buying, selling, renting, or investing.<br />Valerie owned and operated a small business for 12 years specializing in computer-based presentation<br />materials. Her business was also a nationwide service bureau that provided rapid turnaround for<br />computer-generated slides prior to the laptop presentation era.<br />When Valerie sold her business in 2000, she invested her money into the local housing market<br />purchasing foreclosures, pre-foreclosures and distressed properties. Since she has done this type of<br />work herself, she can offer expert advice on what is involved to repair or renovate these properties.<br />As an investor for six years before becoming a licensed real estate agent, Valerie purchased numerous<br />homes for investment purposes and subdivided tracts of land into lots for resale. She is very familiar<br />with buying homes for investment and rental purposes as well as land for investment purposes. She has<br />used her expertise to develop a financial model for analyzing return on investment for development<br />projects and rental properties. She has also been involved with 1031 exchanges and is very<br />knowledgeable about self-directed IRAs.<br />On a personal note, Valerie is a veteran of more than 70+ marathons as well as an Ironman triathlon in<br />2005. The same determination and perseverance that pulled her through these grueling athletic events<br />plays out in every aspect of her life — including selling or leasing your home, finding that "right" home<br />for you to buy, or selecting a profitable investment property.
