Valerie was responsible for a portfolio of 150 assets "craddle to grave," initially with no assistants and no data system.  Her clients included Homecomings, Ameriquest, M & T Bank, Franklin Credit Mgmt, and Waterford Mortgage. Client development, trouble shootig clients servicing, and client reporting were among Valerie's responsibilities in addition to managingher protfolio.

With Safeguard relocationg, Valerie formed the Corrales REO Team with John Corrales in 2007. With 17 of her 28 years in the real estate industry committed to REO sales, Valerie's high priority to client services, ethical practices, and "straight talk" make a substantial partner to the Corrales REO Team.
