Description

Specialties

I help buyers and sellers with their real estate needs. I have over 10 years of experience in Equity sales, investment property, 1031 exchanges, short sales, and REO’s. I love working with first time homebuyers! My areas of specialty are El Cerrito, Kensington, Berkeley, Albany, and Oakland.

History

Established in 2001.

I started my professional career in real estate in Los Angeles in 2001 at Coldwell Banker in Studio City where I receved sales awards my first year. I spent 3 years there before making a move to Keller Williams in Studio City where I helped many sellers sell their home and buy during the same time. I successfully managed to coordinate prompt closings on both sides. SInce moving to the bay area in 2008 I have attained extensive experience with Bank Owned Property, Short Sales, 1031 Exchanges, Investment Sales, and Equity Sales. I have a strong work ethic and provide an open line of communicatoion between my clients and myself. I am always available to answer questions and help solve problems.

Business Owner

I am a licensed real estate agent with Better Homes and Gardens Mason-​McDuffie in Berkeley, CA. I have over 10 years of experience. My real estate career began in 2001 in Los Angeles, CA where I had the pleasure of working with both buyers and sellers of residential real estate, investment property, as well as 1031 exchanges.

Since moving to the east bay in 2008, I have continued to excel at helping buyers purchase their dream homes while negotiating the best possible deal for them, and to help sellers sell their homes in a timely fashion with the highest possible net.

Over the years I have implemented strategies that help home sellers garner the most for their property in any given market. In addition to obtaining the highest possible offers for my clients, I have strategies — unique to my business — for avoiding buyer cancellation.

Buyers can rest assured that they will be fully informed of their rights and obligations in an easy-​to-​understand manner. I make the process of home

I have used Valerie Quade for the sale of both high value and investment properties and she excelled at both. She operates a full service, detail oriented brokerage that can handle many different aspects of property sales. She is professional, courteous and responds quickly to messages. She kept us informed at each stage of the process and we trust her implicitly. We are experienced with the process but would also recommend her to those just beginning to enter the market.

After a somewhat lengthy search for what I was looking for, Valerie got the deal closed, diligently navigating a complex short sale purchase in a way I don’t think many realtors could have.
She will be there for you rain or shine (no 9 – 5 hours to deal with) and always responsive — this was a must for me and I’d recommend Valerie to anyone looking for what they’re dreaming of, not just a house.
She knows her business and will no doubt reach new heights under her own brokerage!
Don’t waste time, call Valerie!

Working with Valerie mitigated a lot of the stress in purchasing a home. She is pro-​active, on top of everything, knowledgeable and doesn’t shy away from negotiating what is best for her client. Valerie put her personal time into learning the comps for the homes I was interested in, she provided helpful information about structuring my offer based on what has been successful in the current market and was a lot of fun during our time working together. I loved that she’s a morning person; any communications were generally in my email inbox before 8:00 so I had some time to think about it during the day but could talk with her after my workday. Valerie stayed engaged during the entire process. I have already recommended her to my friends.

Valerie Quade is an excellent Real Estate agent. She was there to help us every step of the way, from selling our home, to the purchase of our dream home. My partner and I have very busy work schedules and were relieved when Valerie said she would happy to help us set up appointments with the inspectors, plumbers… and was there to meet with the contractors for us! She is honest, knowledgeable and dependable and we couldn’t be happier with her service. Thank you Valerie for all your help. I will recommend you to all my friends and family.

Valerie has been an exceptional advocate for this first time homebuyer. She is an expert negotiator who will get you the absolutely fairest deal. Home buying is potentially a highly stressful activity. Valerie pretty much held my hand all the way through it, patiently explaining the steps of the process from beginning to end, answering all my nit-​picky questions. She has an extensive list of reputable service providers for repairs (double checked on Angie’s list, Parents Network and
). I would put my complete trust in Valerie when it comes to buying a home, and wholehearted recommend her services whether you are buying or selling.

We are so happy we had Valerie helping us with our recent home purchase. The market in the Bay Area is so competitive right now and we had some tough objectives to meet. She not only helped us consider creative options she also kept us grounded in reality and avoiding overbidding on poor investments. After working with Valerie over a short period of time she ultimately helped us land on our dream home. She was a shrewd negotiator and handled the difficult selling realtor with class. I would highly recommend Valerie to anyone looking to buy or sell in the East Bay.

Valerie is an awesome real estate agent! We interviewed her with very little notice, and she was prepared with comps, contracts, everything! From that hour meeting, we just knew that she could do the job of selling our mother’s house and get top dollar. Did she ever! She kept the family well informed on the progress. Any hiccups were well researched and options provided. She is a tough negotiator and took care of us from soup to nuts. She was the key component to make the sale of our mother’s home run so smoothly. If and when we are ready to buy or sell a home, I will definitely call Valerie! She is the best!

This review is extremely overdue! In summary, Valerie is awesome and made the process for buying a home easy and as stress free as it can get. We were working with another realtor who was not listening to our needs and asked our lender for a recommendation. He gave us Valerie’s name and we could not be more grateful. Valerie is responsive, whether it is via e-​mail or phone, knowledgeable, listens to what you are looking for and gets the job done. If we were to ever sell our home, or decided to move, Valerie is the first person I would call. Thank you Valerie!

I have used Valerie Quade to help our investment group buy & sell several homes in San Mateo county in 2010 & in Alameda county in 2011 & 2012. They ranged in prices from $ 220k to $ 760k. She helped research properties we might want to buy & gave us great insight into the possible re-​sale values. All our transactions went wonderful & I would recommend her highly to others looking in Alameda county for help buying or selling homes.

We are very please with Valerie being our real estate agent. We brought our first house with the help of Valerie with only two months in looking. Valerie help us find the perfect house with every feature we asked for and within our low budget, the best part of working with Valerie is she never question our decision, always trying to work with our scoop and our very busy work schedule.
We highly recommend Valerie to any first time house buyer or home seller.

I worked with Valerie to buy my first home. She was always willing to work around my schedule, available at essentially all times, and communicated quickly and efficiently over phone, e-​mail, or by text. With my busy schedule, she helped me search for homes that were to my liking saving me a lot of time and effort in the process also. Moreover, she has a great sense of the market in the East Bay and has a ton of experience in the industry. More importantly, she was never pushy and always conveyed an honest opinion about the places we visited. Her biggest concern is that her client is happy with their purchase. A great agent to work with, and a fun personality to spend some time with during the search!
