Valerie B.

My wife and I chose Valerie Bubnash and her team partner, Charlotte Young to sell our home, because we had met them at previous open houses in the neighborhood. We knew they knew this neighborhood in and out, and their market expertise was absolutely spot on. What we didn't know was how hard they would work and how expertly they would use their experience to make our home look much better than when we lived in it(!); that they--particularly Valerie as the primary agent--would help get rid of "junk" left at the house after the sale; that she would make sure all the complicated paperwork was done properly and with a minimum of hassle for us (it's still a lot though, what can you do?). Valerie was always available to deal with the seemingly countless issues that came up. We would recommend Valerie and Charlotte without hesitation.

Valerie, was on it! We haven't sold a home in 24 years and she helped us every step, from finding us someone to clear out the house and have an estate sale, to finding excellent painters, cleaners, and stagers. Her service went above and beyond, which also got us $100,000 more than the same model down the street. Can't say enough good things.

I recently worked with Valerie to sell my parents’ San Diego town-home as my parents were relocating to senior living on the East Coast. After 30 years in their home, this was a major transition—both emotionally and logistically. Thanks to Valerie , the process was handled with the highest level of professionalism, care, and integrity. My mom, generally skeptical of new relationships even though Valerie was the realtor on a similar town-home in the neighbourhood , was immediately impressed and trusted Valerie from her great communication and patience. Valerie always treated our home sale as her only client and from day 1 spent a lot of time walking both my parents through the lengthy paperwork to list the home. Despite the slower, buyer-friendly market—where we had multiple parties visit the home several times with no sense of urgency, Valerie remained optimistic and proactive every step of the way. She brought unmatched value with her ability to quickly mobilise a team of reliable, high-quality tradespeople—including painters, handymen, and plumbers—all available on short notice, reasonably priced, and delivering excellent work. This alone was a game-changer in preparing the home for listing and during some “ 2nd home inspection repairs " requested by the buyer. Her communication was excellent—not just with us, but also with potential buyer agents. She and her team held multiple open houses and routinely checked on the unoccupied home, ensuring it was always in great shape. Even after the initial contract was accepted, she didn’t hesitate to gently but firmly push back on excessive requests, always advocating for our family’s best interest. In a market that wasn’t easy, and with a sale that came with emotional weight, Valerie exceeded all expectations. Her compassion, resourcefulness, responsiveness and professionalism truly set her apart. We are deeply grateful and would recommend her to anyone without hesitation.

After a long search, my wife and I found our dream home in another state. We had a tight deadline with a contingent offer and hadn't really prepped our home for sale and I was skeptical we could get it on the market and sold in time. We contacted Valerie and she sprang into action, helping us prep the house and get it listed within a week and holding an open house on a holiday weekend. As a result, we got multiple offers that met our criteria, closed the sale, and moved on to our new home. I was totally amazed by the whole process. Working with Valerie was a true pleasure; she is the consummate professional real estate agent and we highly recommend her.
