Val Brooks helped my husband and I to find our home in Cambridge. She is the perfect Realtor for us because no matter how stressed out we got, Val was calm and positive with a smile on her face. She offered exceptional service through the whole process. Five years have passed and we are looking to downsize or “right size” as Val likes to say. She has shown us house after house and her patience is abundant. She smiles and says not to worry that the house has to feel like home when you walk in the door. We haven’t found it yet, but I know with her help we will. Thank you Val! You are more than a realtor, you are family.
