You need someone who knows this area inside and out! I can take care of everything you need, from start to close.

Valerie Upham is a top San Diego REALTOR® with Compass, Certified Senior Advisor®, and nationally recognized real estate strategist with more than 20 years of experience, 400 homes sold, with nearly $300 million in sales volume! Realtor®, CDRE™, SRES®, CPRES

As an agent who is an expert in the local area, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise about buying and selling real estate here. I can

work with you to find the right home at the right price for you, including all the neighborhood amenities that matter - not to mention the essential criteria you have for your ideal home. Sell a Home
When it's time to move, you need someone who will advertise your home, show to prospective buyers, negotiate the purchase contract, arrange financing, oversee the inspections, handle all necessary paperwork and supervise the closing. Consult on Home Selling Tactics
Oftentimes buyers don't visualize living in your home the way you do. I can make your home attractive to its ideal audience - which can help you get top dollar. Things like staging the home, making repairs or minor improvements, or even simply painting the walls can be the difference between a home resting on the market and one that's sold fast. A Client-First Philosophy
There are many qualities and skills that go into being an excellent real estate professional - integrity, in-depth community and market knowledge, marketing savvy, effective negotiation skills and a high-quality professional network, all of which are hallmarks of how I work. That said, in my experience as a San Diego real estate agent, I've also found that providing the very best service is essentially about putting clients first. This means being accessible, being a good listener as well as a good communicator, and responding quickly to your needs. This "client first" philosophy has always been my approach and it requires me to continually improve my skills and ways of doing business. In addition, I've found that the latest technologies are enabling me to do everything I've always done, only much more quickly and efficiently. They've also helped me to extend the range of services I provide to clients. So when you decide that you'd like to buy or sell a home in the San Diego areas, please contact me.

A word from my clients:
"Valerie did a fantastic job of selling my house in record time for more than I thought possible. Her experience is invaluable. She knew just what I needed to do to make the best possible presentation and she communicated with me regularly every step of the way. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!"

"It was a pleasure having Valerie as our realtor, and we could not recommend her enough! As first time homebuyers we knew very little about the home buying process, but Valerie helped to seamlessly guide us through the process from beginning to end. She was patient with us and helped us find a home that prioritized our needs. She was always available to answer all of our questions, and she kept us informed throughout the entire process. Valerie is extremely knowledgeable in her work and she provided us with the tools to make a confident decision as first time homebuyers. She truly cares about her clients, and I cannot thank her enough for helping us secure our dream home."

Molly Ann called me one day looking for help.

She had lived in her University City home since 1978, and the thought of leaving it broke her heart. Life had changed, though, and she needed a safer option for both herself and her family. She had already found a home she loved just down the street, and when she showed it to me, I could feel how much she wanted it to work.

But I had to be honest with her, it wasn’t the right fit. There was simply too much risk involved. Even if it meant walking away from a commission, it was the only decision that felt right.

So instead of moving forward with a sale, we found another solution, one that allowed her to stay in the home she loved.

That’s the part of this work I’m most proud of. Not the transactions or the commissions, but helping families make the right decision for their lives because someone truly took the time to listen.
