More About Me

OUR Success is YOUR SUCCESS...

Purchasing or selling a home is one of the biggest and most important transactions you will make in your life. Why trust that transaction to just anyone? As a local realtor for Hood Canal, Allyn, Belfair, Grapeview, the Shelton area & parts of Kitsap County, I will commit 100% to you.  I have been a team member with Windermere Peninsula Properties for 23 years and work with my daughter, Jessica Spaulding, as a successful team to give you the best possible service locally. We are continually very successful which brings our motto "Our success is YOUR success" into play; We are strong negotiators, strong listing and buying brokers. YOU are our # one PRIORITY!
Our success is due to our knowledge, professionalism and more importantly, our commitment to our clients and work ethics. Having worked in a small town bank in Allyn, WA previously for 8 years, gave me, Valerie, the experience and knowledge of the importance of focusing on my clients needs and services along with the highest of standards of work ethics for myself. Truly “listening” to a client’s needs, wants and their goals’ is very important in the real estate industry. Along with the listening skills, the knowledge that we have to offer allows us to focus on our clients and achieve those goals and offer solutions to their real estate problems which help you benefit from the changes in the market. It is important for our clients – all of our clients – to realize and know that our success is based on their success; We do not make any money if we are not successful in achieving our clients' goals, whether it be buying or selling their homes; therefore, our relationship is truly a working partnership setup to reach and achieve success for our clients as well as in our business.

OUR SUCCESS is YOUR SUCCESS!

Allyn, Belfair, Grapeview, Hood Canal and surrounding areas -

Not many understand the logistics of working with a realtor. When you choose a realtor to work for you, you are asking that realtor to make a commitment to you with no salary or wage unless they are successful in achieving your goal. This means that you are trusting me to be loyal to you as we would ask you to be loyal to us. When you hire Jessica and myself, we give 100% to you. And in return we ask that you give 100% to us. If you are working between agents, you are asking us to compete with another agent without your loyalty; it is not a good business decision on our part to give 100% and expect nothing in return if you decide to work with another agent.We only ask that you remain loyal to the agent you feel will accomplish the job and that you are comfortable with. We know that with our experience, knowledge, work ethics, and customer care, your transaction will go smoothly. Let us take care of the details, and there are many – you focus on packing and decorating your new home!

We have a passion for our area, our clients and our business.

The Windermere Way- Our Truths

Our Truths- These truths distinguish Windermere and are the foundation for our success. We believe that people are more important than houses. We always start with the client’s point of view. We solve people’s needs while fulfilling their wants. We know everything about our neighborhood and community. We understand that a house is a box where people do their living. (It is where memories are made and lives take place.) We are citizen-agents and a central part of the fabric of our community. We ease and guide the home buying and selling processes and transform the leap of faith to a step of faith. We are facilitators, counselors, experts and hand holders, which is so much more than an agent. We protect our clients by educating them and negotiating on their behalf. We are entrepreneurs. We are creating a cause which is way more than building a company. We are creating vibrant, livable and humane communities. Our ability to provide consumers with an incredible experience makes us a great real estate company.
