Don't you just love it when things come together...when they are not planned out by us but when, by some other force in the cosmos, relationships are formed, bonds are created or spirits unite...when, who we are becomes what we are.
That, in a nutshell, is what happened to Valerie. Always outspoken, blessed with a strong work ethic, an unbridled level of energy, a knack for computer technology and a desire to help people fulfill their dreams she found her niche as a realtor. But she didn't just take the course and licensing exam. Instead, she first went to work in one of the busiest and most successful agencies to learn the business from the inside out and developed computer/ electronic skills then beginning to permeate her new found industry.
She knew that if she was truly going to represent clients in the most important and sometimes stressful purchase of their lives, she wanted to understand the good, the bad and the ugly. She wanted to be able to be an advisor to her clients not just a chaperon. Then, when she felt ready she took the licensing course from Tim Reed, one of the most respected and knowledgeable real estate experts in NW Indiana...and when Tim and his partner Tim McColly asked her to join them she knew she had arrived at the place where "things just come together".
And arrived she certainly has. Valerie has been elected to the Greater Northwest Indiana Association of Realtors , 2006 MLS board of Directors, 2008 MLS President Elect and now in 2009 President MLS Board of DIrectors. For the past 4 years, 2005-2009, she has earned the coveted F.C. Tucker Top Producer Award, as well as the Executive Club Award and recognition for the Top Sales Production of her office. May,2009 Her office has merged with Century 21 Pace Estates and Valerie will use the Century 21 marketing tools to benefit her clients.
If you ask anyone who knew her before she became a realtor, they would likely tell you they are not surprised by her success because they would say "the same characteristics she has used in a lesser degree in her passion for her boxer dogs is what motivates her career". You see, since 1985 Valerie and her husband, Ken, have been breeding and showing champion boxer dogs (Gold Medal Boxers) and through painstaking efforts have created a bloodline sought after by other dog fanciers. But not one to cultivate this hobby for herself Valerie has for 20 years graciously given her time to mentor other breeders and pet owners talking to them about diet, exercise, a breeding program and the beauty and sometimes sadness of whelping a new litter.
A few years ago she even found a way to combine this passion with her career when she conceived of the Canine Commission Donation Program by which she donates a portion of her real estate commission fee to a charity selected by her client.
When you are prepared to take the next step you can be sure that Valerie will put her knowledge, talent, skills and energy to work for you.
