I knew, from the recommendations of others, that she is a leader in Willow Glen transactions and has been so for many years.Once we listed the hole, Valerie took charge. She organized the steps necessary to prepare the house for sale.We basically left the entire process up to her best judgement.During the entire process, Valerie always answered our questions with politeness and knowledge in a timely fashion. After a short time on the market, we received the offer we wanted and closed the deal. I highly recommend using an expert, experienced and professional realtor when selling your valuable asset and that is Valerie Mein !”

Between those sentiments, financial constraints, and potential impacts of the upcoming election, there were a lot of challenging issues to consider which could have easily thwarted getting this across the goal line. Valerie was absolutely the right realtor to entrust with my home. Her expertise and years of industry experience were invaluable as she advised the pros and cons of issues such as timing, selling it “as is” versus making improvements, and setting a listing price which would be key for generating plenty of interest. Once decisions were made, her abundance of resources were ready to work at a moment’s notice and quickly completed tasks. She was patient with questions (I’m sure there were a lot of bonehead ones) and she was discerning about when to make contact, which kept me from being overwhelmed with minutia. I was amazed how easy Valerie made this process and how swiftly it came to fruition. Testament to her abilities, this was truly a stress-free endeavor. Her professional navigation resulted in a speedy, successful home sale well over the asking price!”

Bill Cornell “I sold my Willow Glen home through Valerie in March 2024. She came highly recommended, but I really had no idea how value she'd add until the bids came in. I handed her the keys to the house and departed for the entire month of February; while I was gone, she and her crew gutted and fixed up the master bathroom, found and repaired a roof leak, staged the home beautifully, and held 4 days of open houses. When I came back, the home was sold in 2 days. I'm still amazed how well it went. I can't imagine finding a better realtor anywhere.”

AmbipiscII “We had the pleasure of working with Valerie to sell our home, and we couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. From start to finish, Valerie was a true professional—pleasant, responsive, and incredibly knowledgeable. Her efficiency was remarkable; it felt like she was an orchestra conductor, seamlessly coordinating every aspect of the pre-sale process. She guided us through prepping and staging our home with a keen eye for detail, ensuring it was presented in the best possible light. The open house she organized was a great success, and her strategic approach was evident throughout. What truly stood out was her ability to handle every step with such grace and precision. She kept us informed at every turn and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Thanks to her expertise, we closed the deal swiftly and on favorable terms. If you’re looking for a realtor who can manage all aspects of selling your home with efficiency and ease, we highly recommend Valerie.”

Michael Rheinecker “We cannot express enough how grateful we are for Valerie's exceptional service in helping us sell our home. From the very beginning, Val provided invaluable guidance and advice on what improvements to make before listing our property, what price to list at, and when the best time to go on the market was. Her experience and understanding of the market ensured that our home was in top-notch condition and that it appealed broadly to potential buyers…ultimately resulting in a swift and successful sale. Throughout the entire process. Valerie was available to answer our questions, connect us with her network of contractors and advisors, and keep us informed. We always felt Valerie had our interests at heart and that she was working to achieve the best possible outcome for us. If you are looking to buy or sell a home and want a realtor who is knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely cares about getting the best outcome for you, Valerie Mein is a true professional.”

Loree Popejoy “Valerie is hands down the best Realtor I have ever worked with. She sold my rental property in 4 days for $100K+ over asking price. Prior to listing, Valerie made recommendations on improvements that would increase the selling price. Her recommendations were detailed and from paint color to landscaping, I followed her advice.

From start to finish, Valerie managed the entire pre listing process, including managing painters, etc. Valerie is detailed oriented and an effective communicator. I highly recommend Valerie and would absolutely work with her again.”

James Chenault “We have worked with Valerie on both the buyers and sellers side of our Willow Glen properties but most recently the sale of our house. Valerie’s knowledge of the market, direction on staging and pricing at a realistic sales price, marketing and negotiating skills during the sales process resulted in a smooth sale and expertly negotiated sales price. She is a true professional!”

Natalie Snyder “Valerie is a very effective, very well connected, and very proactive agent. After another agent failed to sell our home (or generate any offers) in the prior 4 months - we hired Valerie and she generated an at-list offer within 5 days of the listing date. Enough said: if you want your house sold - hire Valerie & do what she suggests to make your house marketable.”

dgmcintosh “We decided that the path to maximizing profit was to retain an extremely savvy seller’s agent, with a wealth of Willow Glen experience, and then simply to do everything she advised us to do. We retained Valerie because she seemed to fit that description. And that really turned out to be the case. She inspired confidence. And she handled each of the myriad tasks involved in listing, contracting, and selling with impressive speed and efficiency. She told us what she thought would happen with the sale, and everything unfolded exactly as she had predicted. If anything, the result exceeded our hopes. Valerie is the consummate expert and professional. Put yourself in her capable hands, and you’ll be very glad you did.”

user3542797 “Valerie Mein helped us to sell our home in San Jose last December. When we interviewed her on the first meeting, she was answering our questions, providing objective data regarding how many homes she has been representing, how long her listings typically stay on the market… We found that she is very confident and knowledgeable, like having a pro come and give us staging, having professional photographs taken, and a lot more… Even the real estate market was soft at that time, we had two offers on the 1st week. It couldn't have been a more pleasant experience. I've recommended Valerie to everyone I know.”
