" This was my first time buying a home and I could not have done it without Valerie! She is so patient, understanding and warmhearted and she will always have your best interest at heart. You want a realtor you can trust and Valerie is definitely someone you can reply on. She is also very communicative, has a lot of experience, and is up to date on everything. I, being new to all of this, needed a lot of hand holding throughout this whole process and she guided me through every step and was a huge help. I seriously would not be enjoying my new lovely home right now without her. Thank you, Valerie!! Next time I buy a place, you better still be working as a realtor!! "

- E. Kwon--Buyer Downtown San Diego

" Valerie helped find our perfect home in the San Diego area. Being from out of town and unfamiliar with San Diego, I cannot stress enough how helpful she was in navigating our home buying experience. From useful location specific insights to data driven metrics on market fair value, she did a tremendous job with the purchase of our property and we can't thank her enough for her unbiased expertise. She truly is an advocate for you, whether you're buying or selling, and is a seasoned negotiator that will go to bat for you. She is personable, honest, prompt, and caring. It felt like we had a lifelong friend helping us pick a place to live in San Diego, a person we had only met briefly, who sought to get us a great deal in a fantastic location. In short, we highly recommend her without reservation--she's fantastic to work with. "

- R. Pruente--Buyer in Carlsbad

" Valerie was fantastic in all areas of the sale of our home. Her communication and follow-through for each stage of the sale were flawless! It was comforting to have an agent so knowledgeable and committed to the sale of our home. The time of year was a challenge along with the market but having Valerie's expertise was reassuring. We would definitely recommend her to any family member or friend. Thanks for your amazing professionalism and caring heart for all our desires and needs. "

- M. Bells--Seller in Oceanside

" We are experienced with real estate transactions as investors, homeowners and professionally and found our recent experience with Valerie handling an investment transaction for us to be one of the best agent experiences yet. We would have no hesitation recommending her to handle a transaction either in downtown San Diego or in north county San Diego, as she is well versed in both areas. She is very precise with paperwork, is well organized and has outstanding communication skills and habits. In addition, she is very service-oriented and will accommodate to get things done and done on time and correctly. "

- D. Bergum--Buyer Downtown San Diego

" Valerie Tuck is the consummate real estate professional. My husband and I highly recommend Valerie. After owning our home in Thousand Oaks for 30 years, Valerie helped us relocate to San Diego. She helped us find our new dream home. She helped educate us on the market, and on the entire process throughout. And because we had not sold a home in 30 years – her guidance was invaluable. Valerie was a strong negotiator on our behalf throughout the transaction. She made sure we were prepared for every step. Valerie was always available and highly responsive to all our questions, big and small. She kept things moving and that allowed us to move into our new home exactly within the time frame we wanted. We are very grateful for her professionalism, her attention to details, and the way she cared – we always felt that our transaction was as important to her as it was to us. If you are looking to sell or to buy – we recommend that you contact Valerie Tuck. "

- R. Mitchell--Buyer Downtown San Diego

" Valerie is an absolutely fantastic real estate agent! My wife and worked with her for nearly two years to find our perfect house. From the day we met her she worked tirelessly to help us figure out the right house and right location. We didn't start with a well defined plan and she patiently helped us look at houses from Encinitas to La Jolla. When we finally picked the house she recommended for us in Bird Rock she helped us through entire negotiation and closing and made if feel almost effortless. She is top notch professional. We are so glad we found her! "

- M. McVay--Buyer in La Jolla

" Valerie is the consummate real estate professional - intelligent, well-prepared, hard-working, responsive and dedicated to her clients' best interests. She belies the stereotype of a pushy agent because she is low-key and no pressure. She knows the Solana Beach market inside-out, having lived here for years and served as President of the PTA. I can't recommend her highly enough! "

- R. Leib--Buyer in Solana Beach

" I cannot imagine that the sale of our condo in the middle of February could've been a more painless process, thanks to Valerie. As someone who has no familiarity with real estate, Valerie made sure we understood every sentence and paragraph of the documents we were being asked to sign. Her expertise was instrumental in obtaining multiple offers above our asking price and closing escrow in 14 days. She held our hand during the entire process, giving us guidance, her best opinion, but insisting that the final decisions were entirely ours. Most important, however, was her attention to detail and making sure that everything was done correctly so that there were no mistakes that needed to be corrected. At all times she was available and answered texts and phone calls within minutes. She treated everyone involved in the transactions with grace, respect and courtesy. "

- F. Fradel--Seller in La Jolla

" I have been working with Valerie Tuck as my real estate agent searching for our first home in San Diego for my family for the past couple of years. Valerie has been patient and incredibly methodical and thoughtful in her communication and hunt for our perfect family home. And we finally found it only because of Valerie’s commitment to ensuring our family got exactly the home we had dreamed of. Throughout the entire home buying process I felt 100% supported by Valerie who always worked in our favor and never made us feel pressured, even in this high stakes market. Her communication, experience, work ethic, resourcefulness and attention to detail in addition to the authentic personal care she gives her clients makes her the best agent we could have ever asked for. We will always be grateful to Valerie for all her help in making our home buying dreams come true for our family. "

- S. McEwen--Buyer in Poway

" Valerie's knowledge of Solana Beach/North County and relationships with other local agents proved invaluable in this tight market. She patiently worked with us for the past year to help us purchase the home of our dreams! She is personable, responsive, professional and competent. "

- S. Kobayashi--Buyer in Solana Beach

" If you are looking to buy or sell a home, Valerie Tuck is the one to choose. She is knowledgeable, hard working, kind, patient, and organized. It can be challenging to find the right home/buyer and we had less worries because Valerie took care of everything, which made our lives easier. We sold our home and found the one of our dreams because of Valerie! She is a *****realtor!! "

- C. Duffy--Buyer in Solana Beach, Seller in Carmel Valley

" Valerie Tuck recently helped us buy our dream home, but we didn't make it easy for her. My husband and I gave her a long list of features that we required in a home and Valerie really listened to what we were telling her. She worked tirelessly to find the home that was just right for us. Valerie never lost sight of what was most important to us and she always treated us with respect and patience, making us feel like finding the perfect home for us was just as important to her as it was for us. If we had a question or a concern, Valerie always made herself available to us. We admired her professionalism, her attention to detail and the way she carefully guided us through the entire process of home buying, always making sure we felt informed and comfortable from beginning to end. We love our new home and we don't intend to move for a long time, but if for some reason that changes, Valerie would be the only realtor we would call. "

- A. Gussin--Buyer in Encinitas

" We feel very blessed to have had Valerie as our agent - she knocked it out of the park and we were able to make an offer on a fabulous house and move in less than a month later. We were moving from another state, and she had great communication and was able to guide us through the process. We would highly recommend Valerie to anyone who wants someone go to bat for you and your new home and make it happen. "

- P. Schmidt--Buyer in Fallbrook

" Best Realtor we have ever worked with in Hawaii, Colorado and California. She was knowledgeable, knew exactly what we were looking for to house my daughter and family and was instrumental in negotiation tactics in this Sellers market. Most of all she was on top of matters, helped greatly in making this experience a great one and is a delight to work with. She is the best and we highly recommend Valerie Tuck to represent you with your real estate needs. "

- G. Mansho--Buyer in Oceanside

" Valerie is extremely professional. I would recommend her, she was great to work with and really looked out for us. during parts of the negotiations with the seller she was on vacation in Greece with her family. All that while she was taking calls from us, sending us docusigns, etc. Cant say enough good things about working with her. I would definitely work with her again on any subsequent real estate transactions. "

- M. Thielman--Buyer in Cardiff

" My wife and I do not have a high opinion of most real estate agents which makes it difficult for us work with them. We have bought and sold over 10 homes together and can count only 2 agents (on the buy or sell side) that we trust and enjoyed working with. Valerie Tuck is one of them. We found Valerie to be extremely helpful in making our home sale go as smoothly as possible. She communicates frequently to ensure there are no surprises and no misunderstandings amongst all the involved parties. She has a very good work ethic and continues to work until everything is done to a high standard. I highly recommend Valerie, a true professional. "

- S. Perkins--Seller in Fallbrook

" We used Valerie to both buy and sell property. Valerie was extremely professional and tenacious in her efforts to find a home for us which was especially important during this unprecedented sellers market. Her market knowledge was superb. She was always available to help, advise, show and discuss real estate. The negotiation process was handled with professionalism and, when in escrow, she stayed on top of the process all the way through close. The same is true for our listing and selling our home. I highly recommend Valerie to help with your home search and to list and sell your home. "

- S. Hamontree--Buyer & Seller Encinitas & Cardiff

" As a long time Solana Beach resident, Valerie knows the local real estate market inside and out. She had a pitch-perfect approach to pricing, staging and marketing our West Solana Beach home. These three crucial fundamentals resulted in us receiving multiple offers, all over asking price. We closed escrow in a record 8 days! We never would have been able to close the deal so quickly and easily without Valerie's expert guidance and hands-on assistance. And I mean that literally - she helped us move and clean furniture. I HIGHLY recommend Valerie as an outstanding listing agent. "

- S. Leib--Seller in Solana Beach

" We had an amazing experience with Valerie as both a seller and a buyer. Her organization, attention to detail, focus, and energy made the process so stress-free for us as the clients. We highly recommend to anyone looking for a top notch agent to guide you through a successful process. "

- A. Walker--Seller & Buyer in Carlsbad & Carmel Valley

" Valerie went beyond over-and-above - professional and effective in every way. A great communicator; she genuinely cared about us and getting us the property. Nailed it! "

- K. Pelisek--Buyer Downtown San Diego

" Valerie was, hands down, the best realtor and partner in the home buying process. She holds expertise, strategic input, a detailed eye and genuine desire to do the best for her clients. We had a very intricate and complex escrow, we were buying while out of state, and were unsure about exactly what we wanted in the begging. Every day since the day we started working together, she was right by our side, supporting every decision, call, peak or valley to ultimately help us find and purchase our incredible home. We are so grateful to have worked with Valerie and wouldn't recommend anyone else! "

- J. Gardner--Buyer in Vista

" Valerie is hard working, patient, compassionate, knowledgeable, and extremely responsive! We met Valerie at an open house in our area. We had already met lots of realtors at open houses but found her to be persistent without being overbearing or annoying. And her persistence paid off. We decided to have Valerie to help us with our home search. She always made herself available to us at short notice to see homes. She would take us back to contenders two and three times. When a house in our local area that met our qualifications finally came on the market, Valerie was there to guide us through the offer (and closing!) process. We can not recommend Valerie enough! "

- C. Martin--Buyer in Solana Beach

" We're grateful that Valerie was able to navigate us through a fairly complex buy/sell transaction that involved coordination of multiple steps, from initial purchase, to financing, to the ultimate sale. She powered the group through the final steps to ensure timely and smooth closing. "

- amitdkumarlaw

" Valerie was by far the best real estate agent we have ever worked with. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, kind, thoughtful & meticulous. We are so grateful for her amazing work on our behalf. Valerie is incredible!! Thank you! "

- F. Black--Buyer in Cardiff

" I was a first time home buyer. I was very much a novice when it came to how much paperwork and coordination was to be done. Valerie made the entire process go so smoothly, I would have been overwhelmed without Valerie's expertise. I would highly recommend Valerie Tuck. "

- J. Keefe--Buyer in Oceanside

" Valerie is a true professional. She knows her market and relates to her clients very well. She is ever persistent to find exactly what you're looking for, and is constantly seeking to refine her knowledge of her client so as to find them the perfect property. We could not be happier with Valerie! She's fun, funny, real, and operates with complete integrity. We highly recommend Valerie for real estate needs, and plan to refer others to her, as well as use her in the future for any purchases. "

- K. Keller--Buyer in Pacific Beach

" Valerie is professional, knowledgeable about all things real estate and highly motivated to meet your real estate needs. She listens to her clients, but not just buying clients but sellers too. She took a property from “not sale ready” to sold in about 2 weeks. She transformed the property with minimal expense in 2-3 weeks. She worked tirelessly, addressing every detail and produced an offer that turned into a sale in just 7 days! She made the seller feel important and valued throughout the process which is not always the case. She maintained frequent communication throughout the process, never forgetting the sellers impact and feelings. She consistently encouraged me as the seller to realize my impact on the sale. This was the most effortless, but most impactful real estate transaction I’ve ever had. Valerie is easy to communicate with and listens to her clients. I highly recommend her, there are many in this field, but few with the integrity and ethics Valerie displayed throughout the process. Most importantly as the seller, I never felt minimized nor was I encouraged to compromise, but felt empowered and supported throughout this very successful endeavor. Valerie is an asset the the real estate profession. I highly recommend her whether a buyer or a seller. "

- K. Jackson--Seller in Solana Beach

" Valerie is amazing, she understands the market and was always available when I needed help or had any questions. She was always very professional and so polite! She was very organized and kept everything moving at lightening speed. We would not have been able to purchase the property with out her knowledge and patience. I could not have had a better experience, especially in this crazy Real Estate market. I would highly recommend Valerie, she truly is the best!! "

- D. Carty--Buyer in Downtown San Diego

" Valerie is simply the best. She is trustworthy, knowledgeable, and hard-working. With Valerie as my agent, we were able to find the best home for me, and to negotiate a good successful deal. Through all steps of the process, Valerie is a good listener. She will quickly understand your needs and goals. Valerie was also able to educate me during each step of the process, in a very natural and efficient way. Valerie takes the time to do everything right, and it really helps to reduce the stress that can sometimes happen in real estate. I have never worked with a real estate agent who is as diligent and easy-to-work-with as Valerie. "
