"Valerie did an outstanding job selling our property. We have a difficult location to sell due to adjacencies and she was wonderful at explaining it to potential buyers. She got us the best price and was extremely responsive even when called after working hours. The open houses and agent showings were handled with professionalism. She walked us through every step in the process. She is extremely knowledgeable about the area and shared so much information with potential buyers. She took our confirmed buyers to the clubhouse and showed them around she had recommendations for local eateries and things to do. She walked them and their agent through all things in Lake Forest. We would recommend Valerie to anyone looking to sell or purchase a home. Thank you Valerie!"

"Valerie represented me when selling my house. I was pretty busy and didn't have time to stay on top of getting some items fixed sorting through all the documents etc. Valerie did most of the work for me. She found a contractor to help fix the problems stayed on top of the work and dealt with the buyer's agent and other 3rd parties to help the transition go smoothly. She saved me a lot of time. She also wasn't driven to sell the house as fast as possible which I've experienced before. She made sure I was aware of various offers that came in and followed up with each before we made a decision. She helped resolve issues as they came up. I get that this is what you'd expect for an agent but not all of them do this and do it professionally. Valerie does."

"I met with Valerie a few times to discuss real estate options in the mid-Orange County area. We had an interest in possible rental properties and a somewhat general interest in properties. She learned of our interest in the canyon areas and notified us of a new listing that was a bit out of our price range. With the shutdown and craziness that was happening and the repairs needed on this house, the price eventually came down to something we could handle. She worked with my loan agent and the selling agent helping handle problems caused by a short-term furlough and eventually, we closed on the house. Real estate is full of various personalities not all of them professional or on top of their game but Valerie was always on top of things and handled crises calmly. I recommend her."

"This is the 3rd time I've used Valerie. This time we purchased a rental property. This property was a bit uncommon as it has 3 buildings in a rural area. There were also issues with the title that caused last-minute problems. There were times my wife and I believed this was going to fall apart and sometimes we sort of wanted it to due to the surprises. Valerie is the most collected and process-driven person I know. While I'm getting excited about new demands from the lender she's helping to make it easy to resolve those demands. She's on top of every step in the process pushing the seller to meet their commitments while helping me meet mine. She's an organized and true professional."

"Valerie Bourg is the most amazing person. She showed us several houses and was able to match us with the house of our dreams. She then held our hands and walked us through the fastest escrow in the world for us to buy this house quickly in the rising market. Her client and the client's well-being is her priority. She is extremely ethical and we learned to trust her quickly. Her team could not have been better. Either she or they updated us minute by minute as the sale evolved. They left nothing to chance. Although we came in thinking we had good financing she found a better rate which is amazing. As the sale progressed she made sure the house held no problems. She went to 'bat' for us numerous times to make sure. She has now sold our former home and her service is beyond expectation. Her sales strategy was exactly perfect bringing in a record number of potential buyers from the first day of showing. The photographs were beautiful and she had done research made graphs and again held our hands through the intricacy of finding the right price etc. Valerie is the exemplification of a 'dream' realtor experienced intelligent knowledgeable quick quick-thinking. And totally into the well-being of her client."

Although we came in thinking we had good financing she found a better rate which is amazing. As the sale progressed she made sure the house held no problems. She went to 'bat' for us numerous times to make sure. She has now sold our former home and her service is beyond expectation. Her sales strategy was exactly perfect bringing in a record number of potential buyers from the first day of showing. The photographs were beautiful and she had done research made graphs and again held our hands through the intricacy of finding the right price etc. Valerie is the exemplification of a 'dream' realtor experienced intelligent knowledgeable quick quick-thinking. And totally into the well-being of her client."
"Valerie Bourg is the most amazing person. She showed us several houses and was able to match us with the house of our dreams. She then held our hands and walked us through the fastest escrow in the world for us to buy this house quickly in the rising market. Her client and the client's well-being is her priority.

She presents the best combination of professionalism great personality and the commitment to deliver. Always returning calls even late at night when it was needed. Her extensive knowledge shows when preparing and negotiating a contract. She is honest for example when she doesn't know a particular subject will contact whoever to bring a solution.

Even the buyers were very happy to have her as the seller's agent! We are not affiliated in any way with her or the company(FirstTeam) she works with just very impressed with her way of doing business.

"We are so thankful for Valerie and are so glad we used her to sell our condo! She gave us the guidance we needed with selling since neither my fiance nor I were in the real estate business. She made suggestions on what to fix up in the house before listing. Once those were completed she marketed the house wonderfully and made sure to have hard copies of the flyers at the one open house weekend she had for buyers to take home and remember our place. And yes I said one weekend of open houses for us to have 3 written offers and have our condo sold in under two weeks. We were very impressed and grateful for her knowledge and hard work ethic. Thank you so much, Valerie!"

"Valerie was the listing realtor on my Lake Forest house. I was referred to her by a neighbor and was very happy that I went with her. She was very knowledgeable about the benefits and amenities of my neighborhood came fully prepared at our initial meeting and was very honest and practical in discussing what the sale price should be in the current market. She was very prompt and responsive in all of our communications and made the sale process very easy. She was able to quickly market the house and attract a large number of potential buyers at the first and only open house and obtained several offers over the list price. With her guidance, I was ultimately able to sell the house for significantly more than the list price. I was an absentee owner not living in the house which was still fully furnished and needed to be cleared out by the close of escrow. Not only did she arrange for and oversee the termite inspection and repair work but she also took on additional responsibilities that I was not able to do. She arranged for and oversaw the estate sale and clearance of all the furniture and personal property from the home. She also coordinated with and oversaw other vendors such as plumbers and carpenters to deal with issues raised in the home inspection report. Because of her experience diligence and follow I would highly recommend Valerie for either selling your home or buying another home."
