"Valerie Rosenblum was my Tucker Real Estate Agent, who sold my house a year ago.    She gave 110% in her successful efforts.  Valerie's personal attention to detail, intelligent suggestions, and diligence combined to create a positive atmosphere, and made me feel confident that I had chosen the right agent for the task."

"As a first time home buyer I was nervous about the whole process of buying a home.  Fortunately I had an exceptional agent, Valerie Rosenblum, from F.C. Tucker, who was with me every step of the way."

- Dean Bruno, Schererville

"The personal attention Valerie gave to us was superb! She made us feel like part of her family, what ever our needs were she gave us 100% of her attention! We couldn't have asked for more."

- Edward and Kari Bunde, Crown Point

We were relocated to this area and we only had a few days to find a house. Being first-time homebuyers, as well, made the task of finding a home seem daunting. The few days that we came here to find a house, Valerie was at our side the whole time. She really worked with us one-on-one to help us find the house we wanted, and she made us feel like we were her most important clients. Thanks to the personal attention we received from Valerie, we were able to find a great house that really suited our needs. She stayed with us from the time we met until the time we moved in...and she still checks in on us now!
Thanks for all your help, Valerie!

- Barb & Kyle Kintner, Valparaiso

Valerie is a high energy, detail oriented agent.  She has been on top of every issue that has arisen and has been very proactive in ensuring we did not have any problems during our last relocation.  Lastly, she is a very pleasant person to work with.  She helped my family with many more things than just the basics of finding a new home.  I will use Valerie when I leave the area.

An often relocated,

- Allan Schreiner, Crown Point

The first time I talked to Valerie on the phone, I knew we were in very good hands.  Moving is a stressful venture, but relocating across the country within limited time frame can be a true nightmare!  Thanks to Valerie, our relocation to Northwest Indiana was easier than any of our previous three moves.  When we spoke over the phone I told her our price range and what we were looking for in a home.  By that evening, she had e-mailed us several possibilities and we were able to narrow our selection to five or six that we would view the following week.  We flew to the Chicago area the following week and by the end of our first day with Valerie, we had decided on a home!  We believe that because she took the time to get to know us and determine our needs, she made our selection process a snap.

Valerie continued to work very hard for us through the closing and beyond.  She assisted us in negotiations with the seller, ensured all the necessary paperwork was in order for our loan, represented us on inspections and the final walk through of the home.  She also went out of her way to contact us with important information and reminders for closing.  

Of all the real-estate agents we have dealt with in the past, Valerie was by far the best and we attribute that to the fact that she really cares about her customers.  We consider ourselves very fortunate to have worked with Valerie and will always be grateful for her assistance in finding us a house we can call 'home'.

"My family recently faced the challenge of moving from Florida to Indiana.  Needless to say, it was a very stressful time as our entire lives were about to change.  Through contacts in Florida, we had the privilege of meeting and working with Valerie Rosenblum in the purchase of our new home.  It was Valerie that made all the difference.  Her dedication, professionalism, and attention to detail helped make a difficult situation much easier.  I cannot thank her enough for being there and helping to think of all the things we might have forgotten.  Thank you, Valerie"

RE: Outstanding Service

Dear Valerie:

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the truly outstanding support you provided to my family and to me during our recent purchase of a home here in Valparaiso. 
From day one, you not only met our expectations but far exceeded them. Coming from out of state, we had a very limited window of opportunity to find something that would meet our needs. You burned the midnight oil researching and then showing us over 30 listings in just two days. When we finally found something, you made the arrangements for all the necessary inspections and even helped us to arrange financing. More importantly, after that, you continued to serve as our intermediary and personal advocate allowing us to satisfy some rather unusual, last-minute financing requirements. You resolutely stepped in to overcome obstacles when others were content to let the deal die, and without your help, we would not be in our home today. 
That type of customer service is indeed extraordinary. I have purchased two other homes and have never seen anything close to the support and dedication you display. We now consider you to be not only our personal realtor but our friend. Without hesitation, I will recommend F.C. Tucker and you, in particular, to anyone wishing to buy or sell their home in the Valparaiso area. 

Sincerely,

-John J. Kussmaul, D.D.S.

 
We are writing to sing the praises of and highly recommend Valerie Rosenblum Real Estate Agent extraordinaire.

With our daughter about to enroll in a four-year graduate program at Valparaiso University, my husband and I decided to buy property in the area for her to live in while she attended school.  We knew nothing about Valparaiso, but that quickly changed.  Before we even got to town Valerie had provided us with a complete packet about the area including maps, information regarding banks, medical facilities, etc as well as  guides to the area.  By the time we arrived for a three-day weekend and following several emails and phone calls, Valerie had set up appointments for us to view 15 properties that were not only suitable for our daughter, but also in our price range.  Knowing we were on a short time frame, she took us to all 15 places in one day!  Once we saw the places we knew that she had listened carefully to our specifications, and she also had provided us with a complete look at the market at the same time.  We were able to make an offer, which was accepted by the time we returned home.

This, however, was just the beginning of Valerie's services to us.  She stayed with us through the various inspections and repairs.  She provided us with names and helped us connect with various local craftspeople as was necessary.  Valerie even acted as our agent at the closing because we couldn't be there.  Last but not least, she has made herself available to our daughter when Rachel relocated to Valparaiso.

-Mark and Janet Sharron, Aptos, CA

We have moved 6 times in 12 years and Valerie has been the best realtor we have had.  From the first contact that we had with her through our move-in day, Valerie has made the transition flawless.  She made us both relaxed because of here proactive thinking and knowledge of her job.  Valerie took our house hunting to heart and shared her experiences to help us make a better decision on the home that we choose.  We not only had a great business relationship with Valerie, but developed a friendship as well.  We have no doubt that not only will we refer Valerie to our friends, but will look to her for her realty expertise if the need arises in the future.

Valerie recently sold my Mother’s home in Lowell, Indiana in approximately 6 months.  This home was a very unique piece of real estate.  An older all brick colonial home, extremely well built for the times sitting on 26 wooded acres.  Valerie was selected as our listing agent as she demonstrated the most comprehensive marketing approach and was the most candid regarding the improvements we needed to make the obtain the desired results.  We rezoned 2 six acres parcels which she sold within 3 days of the listing.  The home sold approximately 6 months later to a cash buyer.  Her follow skills are impeccable and her utilization of the web to keep the seller posted of all activities and potential buyer/realtor feedback is very helpful.  I would strongly recommend that you give careful consideration to using Valerie as your preferred realtor.

-Rodney Schoon, Fort Wayne

Valerie,

Your professional guidance and knowledge has made this process one in which we felt supported 100%.

I would recommend your service to our friends and family.  Should we ever decide to do this again, I hope that you will be around.

Thanks again.

Dear Valerie,
Just wanted to drop a note to thank you for the great job you did selling my house on Garland Circle in Wildrose.  It was previously listed with another realtor with no success.  With your very professional approach and hard work, it was under contract within a couple of months for full price! It shows how conscientious and hard working you are at getting the job done! I have and will continue to recommend you to others that need to have their homes sold!
Thanks again for your hard work.

-Matt McFadden

My husband and I had been searching for a home over a year, and becoming very discouraged. We knew we weren’t looking for the ‘average home in a neighborhood’, and looking for horse property was ‘different’, but we worked so hard to get to the point in time when we could do this, and we were so ready!!!

We were disappointed with our experience with realtors. It was the same story over and over. We’d find a house, contact a realtor to show it to us, they’d shake our hand, leave us their card, and say ‘call if you want to see anything else’. Not one, ever did a search for us, took time to talk with us, or helped in any way. We searched on our own.

We called Valerie to show us a house. As we walked through the property, we knew once again, it wouldn’t work for us. The acreage was heavily wooded and had no place for pastures. We thanked Valerie, started to head out, but she stopped us in our tracks. She wanted to know more. What were our plans? Where were our priorities? On and on she questioned us, until she really got the feel of what we were looking for. It was like she was trying to get to know us enough to match us with a home! She immediately emailed properties. Compassionately, she lifted our spirits, encouraged us with hope, and told us confidently, “Oh, I’ll find you a house!”  We trotted through some really strange properties, and Valerie, (such a trooper), alongside us through horse barns and pastures at a determined pace.  Within three months we had a signed contract. Each phase of the buying process brought out another talent of Valerie. She kept and sent us records online of every transaction that evolved. Whenever we called her she always picked up or very shortly returned our calls, even when she was out of town!!!! Some unusual turn of events made our purchase a difficult one, and we saw yet another side of Valerie. She was tough when she needed to be! Her knowledge, experience, work ethics and good character are over the top.  We have been in our new home for a few months now, and we are still receiving mail and phone calls from her. Her help wasn’t over at the closing. Moving is both exciting and stressful. We highly recommend the service Valerie provides and would call on her again for any future moves.

With sincere gratitude, we thank you Valerie,

-Dan and Brenda Gorecki, Bit of Heaven Equine Estate
