I help families navigate the emotional and practical sides of a parent's transition
with clarity, patience, and zero pressure.
Certified
A no-pressure conversation about your family's needs, timeline, and the home itself, in person or by phone if you're out of state.
Every option laid out clearly, whether that is selling, updating, or staying put, with real numbers so the family can decide with confidence.
From pre-inspection to closing day, I handle the details and trusted vendor connections so you can focus on family, not paperwork.
I'm Valerie Van Pelt, a Senior Real Estate Specialist with Compass, based in Dallas. I help families like yours find clear answers during uncertain times, whether that means selling a longtime family home, preparing it for market, or simply understanding what options exist.
I work with families across the country, not just locally. My process is designed to be simple, personal, and free of pressure, no matter where you're calling from.
I'm also the founder of Collective Moves, a team of experts I built so families have every specialist they need in one place.
Most families assemble this team anyway, just in the wrong order. Collective Moves puts a senior real estate specialist, an estate attorney, elder law, financial planning, senior living navigation and move management on one team, reachable from a single phone call.
Valerie was amazing at helping our elderly parents with all aspects regarding the sale of their home. She got their house under contract in less than a week and we had a smooth closing. Her communication and professionalism were excellent.
Valerie did a superb job helping us find the perfect home for my mother. She negotiated a fair price, met us several times at the property, and helped us find the right people to get the house ready for moving in.
Valerie was great to work with. She was always available to listen to my concerns. My house sold fast and I credit that to taking her advice in the negotiations. Highly recommend Valerie.
A free, no-pressure consultation, in person or by phone.
