“Valentine and Kent listed my home and it sold within two days and above our asking price. The process was effortless. They helped me prepare my home to sell, staging my home, any repairs that were required they contacted and coordinated with the various contractors. They were always available to answer my many questions day or night. They were attentive from the beginning through close of escrow and beyond. I would highly recommend Valentine and Kent to my friends and family and would not hesitate to use them again.
