If we’re honest, administrative staff members are a combination of glue and grease. They make sure everything stays together and runs smoothly.
You may not interact with Valarie when you do business with us, but she’ll be behind the scenes, making sure the numbers are right. Her work also will ensure estimated dates stay on track and have us ready for the closing table.
Her background in banking means you can count on her to help your transactions go smoothly. She worked her way up from teller to personal banker, trusted with consumer and home equity loans.
During what she calls her “previous life” she had Series 6 and 63 licensing, which allowed her to sell life insurance and investments, so she’s accustomed to handling sensitive information.
Valarie used to work with a title and escrow company that handled a lot of our closings and compliance. Her desire to focus on her family and enhance the quality of life while tapping her professional expertise brought her to us.
She loves to camp, take the side-by-side for a spin, kayak, and hunt (bow and rifle) with her husband and two kids.
