Introducing Gaby Valencia, Your Trusted Real Estate Advisor

Embarking on my real estate journey 15 years ago as a buyer, I experienced firsthand the complexities and frustrations that can arise during a transaction. This pivotal moment fueled my determination to become a real estate professional, dedicated to providing the support and expertise that clients deserve. For over 14 years, I have had the privilege of working alongside the esteemed Jenell VanDenBos, a Top Producer consistently recognized by Palm Springs Life Magazine. My extensive portfolio spans diverse transactions, including short sales, REOs, investor properties, vacant land, and Luxury Home sales. Additionally, I bring comprehensive knowledge in short and long-term leases, property management, and vacation rentals. Having called the valley home for over 16 years, my international background includes working for an International Company in Guadalajara, Mexico. Fluent in both English and Spanish, I recognize the importance of bicultural skills in our interconnected world, ensuring seamless communication and assistance for all clients. Whether buying, selling, or seeking guidance, I am committed to providing unwavering support and communication. With a passion for real estate, I give 150% to ensure your transactions are not only successful but also comfortable. Let's make your real estate aspirations a reality!
