About Valerie Brinker

My philosophy is to always be the most valuable resource available to every client who entrusts me with the home-buying or home-selling process. Whether it's finding the best neighborhood for your family's lifestyle, figuring out the most advantageous way to negotiate an offer, deciding on how to prep your home for sale, learning of new area legislation affecting homeownership or locating the area's most reliable vendors, I give my absolute best to my clients. Additionally, I am constantly updating my skills and building upon my education in Real Estate to better assist you. I run my business by listening to your needs, sharing straight-forward knowledge and giving top-notch service as opposed to pushy, high-pressure sales tactics. I was born in the Midwest, raised in the Deep South, educated in New England and have settled in the North Lake Tahoe Area where I am prepped to deal with buyers and sellers of all backgrounds who are eager to embrace our outdoor paradise. When I am not helping clients navigate the complexities of today's rapidly changing housing market, you can find me skiing and snowboarding in and out of bounds, rowing my single on Donner Lake, mountain biking, singing jazz or creating my own line of handmade jewelry. I have found the most wonderful place in the world in which to live and am always eager to share my loves with others, from my favorite lines in the backcountry to the neighborhoods that best suit your needs.

I have every reason to support Valerie Brinker as a top real estate professional. She has helped me with two purchases in a difficult market. She also had to go above and beyond on one of the more difficult transactions I've ever seen... so much paper work and with extra visits to the property. I could go on and on. If you've read this far, hire her!

Wow, in all of our experience with many (and I mean many!) realtors, Valerie Brinker surpasses them all! Valerie represented us on 3 separate occasions - from selling, buying, and leasing properties. Valerie proved to be exceptional and invaluable EVERY time! Valerie is THE go-to Realtor!!Valerie loves her job and cares about her clients, which shows immediately and throughout the processes! She works with admirable skill, integrity for her clients, and great success. Valerie excels with her outstanding and unending efforts, knowledge, ethics, quick responses, understanding, patience, creative out-of-box thinking, attention, efficacy, communication skills, honesty, trustworthiness, reliability, friendliness, help, and going above and beyond principles. We could actually go on! Choosing Valerie Brinker was and continues to be in and for our very best interest. She goes beyond our expectations (and those can be outrageous!). If you want someone in your corner and doing what's in your best interest (not what achieves their highest commission), someone you can rely on, someone that goes through the stressful process with ease and efficient progress, someone that maintains your confidence and peace of mind, then call Valerie Brinker! She honestly provides all of those critical qualities and more! Valerie's bottom line is what's in your best interest. Moreover, she'll achieve it with exemplary expertise, hard-working dedication, and winning skills.Truly, Valerie is extraordinary in EVERY way!! With the utmost gratitude, respect, and admiration for Valerie!!

Valerie is the BEST!!!! 2021 was a tough year to buy a house in Truckee, but she made the process so much less stressful than we were expecting. Valerie has a huge amount of local knowledge of each neighborhood, even specific streets within neighborhoods, and she notices all the little details that matter when you live in the mountains - the slope of the driveway, where the sun faces the house, and wear and tear issues that look concerning versus typical degradation in the mountains. She is very well connected in the area, and she helped connect us to plumbers, electricians and general contractors to ease our anxiety of home maintenance. She is extremely professional, responsive, patient, and super nice! We could not have found our dream house without her, and we're so grateful to have gone through this experience with a smart, talented, thoughtful realtor like her. We highly recommend her!!!!

I have been through several home purchases and sales and I haven't had another agent be as helpful and knowledgable about their area as Valerie. She really knows Tahoe and is the best agent you could have (there is a reason why she wins awards for best in the area). Valerie helped us purchase our home a few years ago and sell it this year when it was time for us to relocate. She handled every aspect and helped us remain comfortable throughout the entire process. If you need an agent to buy or sell your home in Tahoe you should use Valerie because she will help ensure you're in the right area for your needs and help you get the right house for the right price.

We had the pleasure of working with Valerie to both buy and sell our property in Tahoe City. Valerie as a buying agent helped tour many houses with us virtually. She learned and knew our tastes and was able to help us identify the right vacation/rental house for us. When we worked with Valerie to sell our property she took care of everything to get our property ready. She went above and beyond to make our home picture perfect. The staging, photos and showings went great. She expertly guided us through a multi-offer negotiation. We ultimately came out very happy with the outcome.We hope to work with Valerie again in the near future.
