Exceptional
The best choice in their niche
A 28-year Cloquet-based veteran whose small team was independently ranked #1 by sales volume in the city for 2025, backed by a clean 5.0-star review record.
Pros
- ✓28 years of experience with both CRS and ABR professional designations
- ✓RealTrends Verified — an independent third-party ranking service — ranked her team #1 by sales volume in Cloquet, MN for 2025
- ✓5.0-star aggregate rating across 24 combined Google and Zillow reviews, with clients specifically praising responsiveness and patience
- ✓Broad transaction range (roughly $170K-$800K over the past 5 years) spanning residential, lakeshore, land, and income property
- ✓NAR 100% Club recognition and an office physically located in Cloquet
Cons
- ✗Operates as a small team rather than a solo practitioner, so buyers may work with a team member rather than Valerie personally at every step
- ✗The team's national RealTrends ranking (3,949th by sides) is modest — the #1 ranking is specifically local to Cloquet, not a national distinction
- ✗Regular land, lakeshore, and rural-acreage deals mean a wider price spread than a buyer focused purely on in-town starter homes may need
