As a Martin County resident living and working here for over 45 years, I am a trusted resident and advisor who can provide you with the local knowledge you need to make decisions of the areas to better assist you during the buying or selling experience.
I have carefully selected Illustrated Properties to be my home, for the simple reason they have the support and tools and continuous education I need to be a strong advocate for my clients/customers. I am a Graduate of the Real Estate Institute (GRI), Pricing Strategy Advisor (PSA )and Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES). These designations allow me to effectively market for sellers to obtain the highest price possible, to be creative for my buyers in purchasing a home with financing options and exceptional negotiation skills. I will maneuver through the complexities of a real estate transaction to get you to the closing table handling most everything to take the burden off of you.
My previous career as registered dental hygienist , gives me the compassion to understand and listen to my client’s needs and the ability to handle all of the details when moving through a transaction.
My love for animals is apparent by the endless volunteer hours she provides to the Farm Dog Rescue – I know a home represents stability for a family, a safe harbor to enjoy after a hard day at work and an investment for years to come.
“Valerie went above and beyond and was excellent in every way. She was professional, kind, organized, and very detailed. Thank you again Valerie for helping us secure our first home, we appreciate it!”
“Working with Val Terrett was a pleasure. She was professional and a great communicator. Buying and selling a home is very stressful but having someone with her experience in real estate made the process seamless. She definitely earns a 5 plus star rating”
“Have worked with Valerie for many years. Our successes in real estate transactions are due in part by Valerie's knowledge of the market, her understanding of our objectives and getting real buyers to the table. Starting with a vacant lot purchase many years ago we have built on our real estate portfolio several fold. Valerie helped us negotiate and purchase our first rental property while we were living in New Mexico. Although I traveled here to meet with her and see several properties personally, she handled all the details of the transaction locally. She even was the property manager for a time until we returned to Hobe Sound. - Mark and Robin Makowski”
“I am 90 years old and purchased my home in Hobe Sound in 1971, 46 yeas ago. I decided to sell to my home this year and contacted Valerie Terrett. She came in and made suggestions to show my home. She sold my home within a week it was on the market. She sold it for alot more than I expected. Valerie is a very honest, hard working and very professional. She knows the local market very well and gets the process done in a fast and stress free way. We would definitely recommend Valerie to handle your buying or listing needs as she has lived and worked in the area for over 25 years and very professional.”
“Selling my long time residence seemed like it might be a daunting and emotional process but Val Terrett made the experience a very positive one by telling me what I should expect throughout the process. Val gave me all the information that I needed to properly price the home and to easily & efficiently deal with contracts and negotiations. Val gave me status updates through the entire process and was always available to answer any questions that arose. We had a contract on the home within a week of listing it and I am now looking forward to having Val assist me in finding me my next home. Thanks Val! Jeff Ridgway”
“Valerie has been one of the most helpful and supportive Real Estate Professionals I have ever dealt with. Not only did she help to locate the perfect property, but after the storms came in and did their damage she helped to facilitate repairs for the property while the family was away. OUTSTANDING! - John Fields”
“Valerie is an excellent and professional agent. She worked hard to help us successfully sell our house and buy a new one. I love that Val gave her expert advice but always made sure that we were comfortable with what we are offering or went the buyer was offering. She was always available when we have questions or needed help with something. She is the best! - The Suku's”
