this House | your Home with Valerie M

I'm a REALTOR with a degree in architecture and passion for design. I'm here because I believe everyone deserves to live in a home they love. Whether that means finding a new house or renovating the one you are in. I'm here for you! I am a mom of four (2 girls, 2 boys) who keep me REALLY busy. I also really enjoy gardening and my 2 dogs. After a variety of careers there are two passions I keep coming back to, architecture and sharing helpful information. I love helping others get inspired and do those projects in their home that will make them happy. I’ve always had big dreams to make interior design accessible to everyone. I am beyond excited to be here with you! Be inspired to create your dream home!
