Valerie is exceptionally knowledgeable about the area, the market and best practices! I would highly recommend working with her!

We love working with Valerie! One of sweetest people you’ll ever meet. My husband and I were first-time buyers and found her through a friend. Throughout the entire process she stood by us and held our hands. While we ended up buying new (we had no idea we were going to buy a new build, btw), she walked us through the entire buying process—she provides guides and tips along the way. She also recommended lenders and immediately got us on the MLS. She was there for every step and even took notes for us during our walk-through. We were so grateful to have her by our side. It’s not every day you find someone you trust right away. Thank you Valerie for being amazing! We look forward to working with you again in the future.

Valerie is awesome! Would recommend her to anyone and have referred several friends to her already (two of which have also purchased homes through her).During our process, she was very accommodating when we were searching through potential homes in various parts of the county. Along the way she was really great about pointing out what to look for in the neighborhood, hidden value in the homes, etc. that we hadnt really considered when searching for a home - all of which was extremely valuable information.And once we decided to put in an offer on our current home, Valerie was amazing! We literally had our offer accepted within hours because she was able to negotiate very quickly with the seller and close the deal.During escrow, Valerie provided us with excellent resources for financing, home inspections, additional tips and advice during the entire process. She also included several moving boxes and packing items to assist us with the moving process.Cant say enough good things about our overall home buying experience. I would highly recommend Valerie and her team to anyone in search of a home in San Diego County!

Valerie is an amazing realtor and truly cares for her clients! My partner and I were new to the San Diego area and Valerie was very helpful and informative through our buying process. She was there for us every step of the way. Given that my partner and I were first time home buyers she explained every step, which we greatly appreciated. She listened to every request my partner and I made within our budget and delivered.I would highly recommend Valerie Upham.

I highly recommend Valerie Upham for your real estate agent! We wanted to sell our home at top dollar. She advised us every step of the way. Her advise was valuable. Our home sold within 12 hours on the 4th of July! She’s definitely a ”go getter”.

Bottom line up front - Valerie Upham is the best Realtor in University City (UC) and possibly all of San Diego County!Valerie helped us sell our home in UC at our desired price, and within just a few days of being on the market. We decided to sell and buy a home simultaneously, which can be a very stressful experience (especially during the COVID 19 pandemic). Valerie made sure that we kept a positive mindset throughout the entire process and always made sure we felt comfortable and never pressured. She always had our best interest in mind, and we were extremely impressed with her high level of integrity, ethics, and professionalism. In addition to her vast experience and knowledge in real estate transactions, we especially love her creativity and the soft touches and pleasant surprises along the way (mini cupcakes when we went into escrow).If you are looking to buy or sell anywhere in San Diego County, you should absolutely reach out to Valerie. We feel very blessed to have shared this experience with her, and we now consider her a part of our family!

Valerie has been our realtor twice and I would recommend her highly to anyone interested in efficient, professional and friendly service. She has assisted my husband and me throughout the sale of two houses, including arranging for estate agents, finding cleaning crews, landscaping companies, as well as staging for the sale. Recently, she found the perfect family to buy our childhood home.

Valerie recently helped us purchase our home in Rancho Peñasquitos. Valerie is not like other realtors, it’s like night and compared to experiences I’ve had in the past. Valerie was available day and night, and present every step of the way. She has an amazing network of trusted resources and continues to be a valuable resource after the close of escrow. I recommend Valerie to any and everyone looking to buy a home. She is caring, detail oriented, and amazingly efficient.
