Kate is phenomenal. She went above and beyond to help us sell our previous home and lock down on our current home. In today's market, you want a realtor that cares about you and isn't looking for a quick sale- and with Kate, she, without a doubt, proved that she was just as concerned about us finding the right place as we were. We are so grateful for our experience with Kate at Homes By Valor. Highly, highly recommend her.

Kate Valor was invaluable in helping me purchase my new home. I started searching during a tough time in the market with lots of uncertainties and worries about money. Kate was able to help clear up the uncertainties and find homes that I liked that fit well into my price range, even during a jump in house prices. Super pleased with my experience and would recommend to anyone!

Kate Valor has been the most incredible person to work with. We worked with her for probably over a year searching for the right time and right location and right house to buy for our first home. She was PATIENT and UNDERSTANDING. She made the process so simple for us by breaking everything down and thoroughly explaining everything, without talking down to us. From her patience and kindness to her recommendations for inspections/lenders/etc, Kate has been a dream to work with. My wife and I close on our dream home this week and it wouldn’t have been even remotely possible if it wasn’t for Kate.

There are so many agents trying to persuade buyers and sellers that they are the perfect one to help but I know, first hand, how hard Kate works for her clients. There are few with the integrity and determination that she puts into helping her clients and I am so thankful to have met her on my real estate journey.

Working with Kate as my realtor was a great experience! She was very responsive to the many questions I had throughout the home-buying process and she helped me stay informed about what to anticipate through closing and beyond. I feel lucky to have had her on my "team" while purchasing my first home; she made an inherently stressful and emotional process more comfortable and understandable which I really appreciate!
