Chose Real Estate Career because:  After a career in law and marketing in Birmingham, I moved back to Huntsville and started a new chapter in my family’s real estate business. Real estate dovetails with many of my interests: architecture, law, marketing, interior design, and helping people navigate life transitions. The fact that I get to work with such a great team is just icing on the cake.

Client Testimonials

“Vicki did an outstanding job selling our house in Huntsville. She is the ultimate professional and a pleasure to work with. She knows the Huntsville market inside and out. We couldn’t be happier with our realtor and the whole experience.”
–P. Dugan, Twickenham Seller

“We highly recommend Vicki because of her expertise, personal attention, commitment, and responsiveness. We took a plain old rancher in a not-too-popular suburb and turned it into a wonderful home full of upgrades for a new family, while increasing the price per square foot by 50% over our purchase price four years earlier. Can’t go wrong with this kind of knowledge and support!“
–D. Self, Huntsville Seller

“Vicki is a wonderful agent. Buying a house can be super stressful but Vicki is calm takes the stress out of a home purchase. She has deep roots in Huntsville and has valuable knowledge regarding North Alabama.”
–M. Bayer, Hampton Cove Buyer

“Vicki is an honest and talented realtor and a pleasure to be around! She knows her market and will keep at it until all questions are resolved. Our buying process went without a hitch because of Vicki….quick and easy….can’t ask for more than that in this crazy year of competitive real estate!!”
–J. Brannick, Old Town

“Selecting Vicki VanValkenburgh was the smartest choice I could have possibly made when I decided to sell my home. She and her team sprang into action with great advice and prepping the house to be sure it showed at its best. The result: A full-price offer within 48 hours! The whole experience was hassle-free. Who you pick as your realtor DOES make a difference!”
–A. Harris, Madison Seller

Thanks to Vicki’s good advice and expertise, I was able to find and buy a fantastic new home. When we started the process, I wasn’t quite sure what I was looking for, and Vicki was very helpful in showing me lots of potential options and helping me sort through what I liked or didn’t like about each of them. After a few months, when I found a home and neighborhood I was excited about, she was invaluable in helping navigate an extremely competitive market and put together a strong, attention-grabbing offer.”
–J. Lawlor, Huntsville Seller and Madison Buyer”

“VanValkenburgh Realtors was nothing short of exceptional.  I live out of state and entrusted everything concerning the sale of a property I owned in Huntsville to her.  She took care of everything.  A Huntsville native, Vicki is ultra familiar with the city, the neighborhood, and the local market.  She had the house perfectly prepared for sale, priced it as we agreed to, and it was under contract almost immediately.  I cannot say enough about the ease with which the entire transaction was handled.”
–K. Parrish, Blossomwood Seller
