Valerie began her career in real estate as a mortgage lender, working closely alongside agents and brokers and gaining a comprehensive understanding of the industry from the financing side of the transaction. This foundation gives her clients a distinct advantage, as she understands every stage of the buying and selling process from contract to closing.

In her first full year with Coldwell Banker Harris McHaney & Faucette, Valerie was honored with the prestigious George Faucette, Sr. Team Spirit Award — a recognition given to the agent who best exemplifies the business practices, integrity, collaboration, and success modeled by one of the company’s original founders. This early achievement set the tone for a career defined by leadership, professionalism, and results.

Today, Valerie serves as Team Leader of the award-winning real estate group, The Home Team. Under her leadership, the team has earned first place honors in Listings Sold, Closed Units, and Adjusted Gross Commission for seven consecutive years. They have received the International President’s Circle Award, the State Triple Diamond Award, and have consistently been recognized as the top Coldwell Banker team in the state.

Valerie has also been recognized with the “Inspiring Women of Coldwell Banker Harris McHaney & Faucette Award,” a testament to her influence not only as a top-producing REALTOR®, but as a mentor and industry leader. Colleagues often describe her as someone who leads by example — committed not just to excellence in sales, but to helping others reach their highest potential.

Having personally experienced more than a dozen moves, many of them corporate relocations, Valerie deeply understands the challenges, logistics, and emotions that accompany a transition. Her firsthand experience allows her to guide clients with empathy, insight, and confidence.

What Valerie values most about her career is the lasting relationships she has built. For her, real estate is not just about transactions — it is about connection, trust, and helping families move forward into their next chapter.

Valerie and The Home Team are proud to be “Making Home Happen” for families across Northwest Arkansas — and they look forward to doing the same for you.
