I have seldom been more happy to write a review than for Valerie Matron and Keri White! Not only was it an incredibly efficient and stress-free process but their great energy also made it truly enjoyable! (I dont think many people can say that about a real estate transaction!). I was not really thinking about selling, but received a marketing postcard from them, and while I generally toss those without a second look, something about theirs caught my eye. I held on to it for a couple of days and then decided to call. My first test is whether a real estate agent answers a random call, because if not, I dont feel confident that theyre available and really dedicated. Well, not only did they pick up, but graciously spent 30 minutes with me on the phone basically listening to me thinking out loud about whether or not it was a good time to sell. At the end of the call, we set up a time to meet in person two weeks later, and once we did, I was sold from the first meeting. My condo was in very good shape, but was almost 20 years old and I had made no upgrades. They came to our in-person meeting very prepared with past sales in the neighborhood, before and after photos with and without staging, and also photos when the seller had incorporated some of their suggestions to update the property. I trusted their judgment on what was necessary to get top dollar, and they also made sure to get the best possible price both the upgrades. And the whole process, from listing to closing, was about 45 days! I could go on and on, but the main takeaway is that if I were every to buy or sell again in the LA area, I would work with them again in a heartbeat. Five stars all the way.

When we embarked on the journey of finding our first home in Los Angeles, we were fortunate enough to connect with Valerie. From the very beginning, it was evident that we weren't just another transaction to her. She approached our search with genuine care and dedication, and demonstrated a refreshing level of honesty and transparency. She was professional in her demeanor, but what truly set her apart was her remarkably personable nature. She's a great listener, and she took the time to truly understand our preferences, concerns, and vision for our future home. She never tried to push us into a sale or sugarcoat any aspect of the process, but instead presented us with facts, offered her insights in an effective and understandable manner for first time home buyers, and always set realistic expectations. Her authenticity was a breath of fresh air. Communication was seamless throughout our entire journey, thanks to Valerie's proactive approach and flexibility with her schedule. She was always just a phone call away, ready to address any of our questions. Her wealth of knowledge about the local real estate market was evident in every interaction, we felt confident knowing we were in capable hands, ultimately finding a home that was perfect for us. Valerie was able to help us lock in an exceptional interest rate that allowed us to purchase a home at the upper end of our budget while being comfortable about our monthly payments. She provided much-needed guidance to help us navigate the bidding process with other potential buyers. During the inspection and contingency phase, she and her team were very thorough and she negotiated on our behalf to have all of the necessary repairs taken care of by the seller. By the end of it, we were extremely confident that the home was in great shape, and that we wouldnt have to deal with any unexpected repairs in the near future. To top things off, our home appraised at a higher value than what we paid! Were so happy to have worked with Valerie. She consistently demonstrated an unwavering commitment to us throughout the process, and approached our deal with a level of dedication and enthusiasm as if she were buying the home herself. Were grateful for her support and guidance throughout our journey, and cannot recommend her highly enough! Thank you Valerie for helping us find our dream home and making the process an absolute pleasure.

Valerie is the absolute best thing that happened to us during our home search. We had been looking for about a year before we met her at an open house where we immediately clicked. Four months later we bought our first dream home. She has the best contacts in the industry for literally anything and everything you need. Her team is so responsive and she really made us feel heard in ways that we hadn't experienced in our real estate endeavors before. Also truly feels like we gained a friend in the process. Thank you SO much Valerie. You are outstanding at your job.

Valerie is an amazing real estate agent who helped me purchase my first home. She is very friendly, patient, responsive, and knowledgeable. During our first meeting, we went to multiple open houses, and she took the time to debrief afterwards and go over the whole home buying process, and answered all of my questions. The condo that I wanted had a lot of other offers, and she helped me do a comparison of other similar homes to come up with a competitive and successful offer. Valerie also gave me the contacts of many lenders, who were able to get me a very low rate even during the inflation. Throughout the process, Valerie checked in with me and sent me detailed emails at each step, so I knew what to expect. Most importantly, Valerie made my first home buying process efficient and enjoyable, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor.
