Agent Profile
Valerie Jean Garduno enjoys helping others fulfill dreams in the city she fell in love with when she arrived at just 19 years-old. Iowa born and Colorado raised, Valerie worked for many years as a successful and in-demand high fashion model with Elite and IMG where she established a reputation as smart, hard-working, sensitive and adaptable to the needs of clients. At the same time, she pursued her interests in writing, comedy and acting, allowing her to put the full-complement of her talents to work against varied endeavors. These talents are now available for the clients of TOWN's Gramercy office.
In a rare move for any 20 year-old, Valerie parlayed a year's success modeling and her business sense to stake a permanent claim on New York with a savvy investment, a unique and lovely apartment on the south side of a park in Gramercy. It is now Valerie's mission to help others enjoy the same sense of security and comfort that comes from having a place to call home, as well as the financial rewards that come from wise real estate investments.
Valerie's varied experiences mean she is equally comfortable dealing with clients in search of their first rental or buyers/sellers making multi-million dollar transactions. Valerie's clients appreciate her uncanny ability to intuit their needs and translate that into diverse property choices that meet identified requirements but exceed expectations.
Valerie's work ethic and philosophy is always to give the client the best possible service. Her attention to detail and communication skills are impeccable, a function of her natural abilities as a writer, comedienne and actress. She is also a keen negotiator who cleverly and tirelessly works to get her clients the best possible deal.
A contented resident of the Gramercy through most of her 20-year career, Valerie's knowledge of Manhattan is expansive. She offers familiarity with many neighborhoods and a broad array of contacts among property managers, a cross section of the fashion and arts business communities, charitable organizations, and restaurateurs. You'll find Valerie relatable, likeable and best of all competent at delivering the best possible real estate experience; her cosmopolitan background makes her as interesting as the clients she serves.
