Val Smith

I am a Mom, a grandmother, a wife and a friend. I love working with Buyers and Sellers, in all walks of life.
After 22 years in roles such as Manager, Senior Buyer and Procurement Agent for major manufacturing corporations, I knew I made the right decision to leave that discipline for a life helping people fulfill their dreams, the first time I received my first hug as I handed a new homeowner the key to their new home. My first year in Real Estate I earned my companies "Rising Star" award and it has been a great experience ever since. My husband and I moved to this area in 1975 from Oregon. Our children and 13 grandchildren, the majority of which live in North Idaho and Eastern Washington, are the joy of our lives.
