Valerie Katz is a seasoned real estate professional with a deep-rooted passion for Chicago's vibrant neighborhoods and historic homes. With 15 years of dedicated service in the Windy City, Valerie has cultivated a unique understanding and appreciation for each community, making her a true expert in the local market and surrounding suburbs.
Before embarking on her real estate career, Valerie honed her skills in business development, providing her with a robust foundation in client relations and strategic negotiation. Her transition to real estate was driven by a desire to make a tangible impact on people's lives through one of their most significant and empowering financial decisions—buying or selling a home.
Valerie's expertise extends beyond traditional buying and selling. She is adept in multi-family investing, intelligent and approachable financial management, and both short-term and long-term rental operations, having personally managed large portfolios for various Chicago developers. Her hands-on experience with her own successful Airbnb rental adds a personal touch to her professional profile, offering insights that few agents can.
A proud resident of Logan Square, Valerie lives with her husband, two young children, and their beloved dog. When she's not closing deals or scouting for unique properties, she enjoys gardening, playing music, attempting to coach her 4-year old's soccer team, and volunteering with various animal rescue organizations. Her love for nature is matched only by her passion for Chicago's culinary scene and its rich architectural heritage.
Whether you're looking to buy a quaint 100-year-old home with character, invest in your first multi-unit, or wax poetic about urban composting techniques over some crab rangoon, Val's your gal for navigating the complexities of the Chicago real estate market.
