Hi, *I’m Val*

If you're looking to buy or sell a home in Bronxville, Tuckahoe, Scarsdale or lower Westchester, consider me your savvy sidekick and trusted advisor. With nine years of real estate experience and a background in corporate marketing, I’m here to offer smart strategy, sound advice, and a steady hand while you plan your family’s future.

Before real estate, I spent years leading marketing campaigns for Mars and Mastercard, honing my skills in negotiation, positioning, and creative problem-solving. Now I bring that same strategic mindset to the clients and communities I care most about. I understand what it’s like to be juggling work, family, and a major move — my own family made the leap from Manhattan to Bronxville over 20 years ago. So when I say I *get it*, I mean it.

I want you to know as you start this next chapter, I’ve got you. From our first phone call to Closing Day and beyond, I’ll be your trusted guide throughout the home-buying or selling process. I’ll also be your insider look into Bronxville, sharing everything from the top pediatricians to where to get the tastiest lychee nut martinis. Your best interests will be my top priority every step of the way (and yes, life in Bronxville really is as charming as it seems!).
You work hard to provide your family with the very best. Now let me work tirelessly on your behalf to find the right home for your family’s needs and help you navigate all the moving pieces with ease.
