I am Valerie Quade, the founder and broker of My Housing Wizard, a modern approach to residential real estate using my personal core values of trust and integrity as its foundation. I have been engaged in real estate for over sixteen years in California's two major markets. My real estate career began in 2001 in Los Angeles, CA, where I had the privilege of learning from some of the savviest agents in the country. It was here where I learned the ropes of real estate. Since moving to the Bay Area in 2008 I have continued my Real Estate career, realizing my purpose helping home buyers and home sellers transition from one phase of their life to another by easing the stress of one of the most important events of one's life. Home buyers and home sellers can rest assured that they will be fully advised throughout the process, and informed of their rights and obligations in an easy-to-understand manner. From there the details of the transaction can be entrusted to me. Regardless of whether I am working with home sellers or home buyers, I am a strong negotiator on your behalf, which means that your wishes are communicated in a very clear and unflinching manner. I believe that restraint is virtue. To me, listening to and working around my clients particular situation is my primary objective. I focus on my clients goals and dreams and work to make them a reality. In addition, I have extensive experience in communicating with escrow and title officers, lenders, appraisers, other real estate agent and brokers, contractors, inspectors, and various city entities. My level of experience is invaluable in creating smooth transactions, and for solving problems expediently. I look forward to providing the best service to those that need to sell a home in Berkeley, El Cerrito, Kensington, Albany, Oakland, Richmond, Pinole, Hercules, and surrounding cities. I love working with buyers as well. Call me. Lets do coffee and discuss your goals.
