A native of Burbank, California, Valerie’s interest in real estate was piqued at a young age. “I was raised in the business,” she explains. “Growing up, I had the opportunity to talk to – and learn from – industry specialists including attorneys, title and escrow officers, brokers and investors.” Her insight, paired with her educational background, has allowed her to tailor a title career that maximizes her strengths and skills.
She is, by nature, driven to excel. In addition to earning a degree in Economics with a minor in Political Science from the University of Delaware, Valerie also traveled to Geneva, Switzerland to immerse herself in the dynamics of multi-national corporations and comprehensive international banking coursework. As a sophomore she was accepted into the highly coveted internship program with the House Ways and Means Committee in Washington, D.C., where she became privy to the values of collegial negotiations and networking.
Valerie’s knowledge and experience have contributed to a successful career in the Title Insurance Business for the past 15 Years. The last 10 of which have been with Fidelity National Title Commercial Services, working closely with principals, lenders, government agencies, brokers, and attorneys. Her proactive approach and thorough industry knowledge, paired with her commitment to exceptional customer service, have distinguished Valerie as an invaluable asset to her clientele. She prides herself on making useful introductions and referrals to help generate more business for her as well as her clients. The relationship piece is what she enjoys most about the business. Her technical acumen is another contributing element to Valerie’s success.
