My name is Michelle Valverde, and I can't wait to help you find your dream home! With a master's degree in business and nearly two decades experience in finance, I have the knowledge, perseverance and patience needed during the home buying/selling process. My ultimate goal is to help YOU buy/sell your home while making the process a positive experience. I grew up in a small town in west Texas where cotton, cattle, oil and Friday Night Lights are a way of life. There's nothing quite like a west Texas sunset; although, I must admit watching a sunrise on our beautiful Cape Fear coast is breathtaking.I have two grown sons and one grandson. I love books, wine, the beach, theater and am always searching for that hole-in-the-wall place to eat. My sons and I have been known to plan our vacations around restaurants we've seen on the Food Network. In my downtime, I enjoy snuggling with my spoiled, four-legged pitty, Violet Rain, spending time with family and friends and going to the movies.
