Peg Edmier, Carmel Indiana, a buyer from Carmel, IN
I was beyond apprehensive and sad to be leaving my home of 25 years. After my first meeting with Val that all went away. She was not only my realtor but my therapist all wrapped into one. Can not recommend Val enough. If she is not the best in the business I don't know who is.
Val was excellent on every aspect. She has great knowledge , she gives great attention to details which we missed many times, she asks the sellers improtant questions to bring our attention to details about the homes saw. We were lucky to have Val. Definitlt, we will work with her again and recommend her to our friends.
Angie Zentz, Indianapolis, IN, a buyer from Indianapolis, IN
We loved working with Val Hooten! She educated us on the current market, introduced us to homes that met our criteria, and was extrememly organized and responsive. But, better yet, Val cared about us as people - instead of just clients - and made the entire process as stress-free as possible. We would work with Val again 100 out of 100 times.
Logan Bruce, Westfield, IN, a buyer from Westfield, IN
Val was absolutely amazing! She is knowledgeable and helped us through every step of the process. We will be using Val for all of our future sales and purchases.
True professional in every sense of the word. What a pleasure it was to work with Val! She knows the local Carmel and surrounding areas extremely well and is excellent at understanding the client's needs. She negotiated a tough contract for us and got us to the finish line. Couldn't recommend more!
Ashley Pericone, Indianapolis, a buyer from Indianapolis, IN
We were so pleased as to how much help Val was. She understood what we were looking for and had a ton of knowledge when it came to the areas we were looking in!
Could not have picked a better agent. We LOVED Val and still continue to share exciting things with her about our home. She is so caring and we can tell she really cared about us and what we wanted during this process.
We do not have family in the area and Val just made us feel so comfortable and at home. She treated us like she has known us forever and we really appreciated it.
Val answered all our questions, even when we were blowing up her phone and never complained! She was always ready to jump to help us or show us a home we were interested.
I would 10000% recommend Val Hooton to anyone buying a home, in fact, we already have. She is the best and we will be using her again in the future.
THANK YOU, VAL!!
Megan Miller, Westfield, a buyer from Westfield, IN
Val is the absolute best. She goes above and beyond for her clients. She was patient with us as we searched for our house and helped us every step of the way. Would highly recommend Val and we would use her again!!
Sierra Anderson, Whitestown, a buyer from Whitestown, IN
Val did a phenomenal job getting us our home while we were out of state. Val exceeds all of these traits excellently. Very professional, knowledgeable, organized, focused and beautifully kind, caring, and supportive of your wants and needs. Fantastic real estate agent to work with! My husband and I recommend her for anyone moving to the Indy area!
Megan Miller, Indianapolis, a seller from Indianapolis, IN
Val goes above and beyond for her clients. She was always available for any questions and/or concerns we had. She made the buying and selling process as smooth as possible. We recommend Val to all of our friends and would definitely use her again in the future. She really is the best in the business!
She's a dear friend and would trust her with our home and all who are in it - she always goes above and beyond
Val is simply the best realtor we've ever had - family has moved 15+ times in our lives so we've got a pretty large body of work to compare
Rebecca Kuzma - Carmel IN, a buyer from Carmel, IN
Val Hooton is wonderful! I've talked to 3 other realtors prior to speaking with Val Hooton in the Carmel Indiana area and none of them were as knowledgeable and as kind and helpful as Val Hooton was! We are so happy to have done business with her and honestly would recommend anyone to use her as their personal realtor. She's absolutely amazing!!! Even after the purchase of our home she is still willing and available to help us with minor details of our home. She's resourceful as well! Incredible to work with truly!!
Val is so professional and trust worthy. She made the house purchase experience extremely easy and enjoyable. She understands my needs and communicate well. I would recommend her to anyone who plans to buy a house here.
Without a doubt Val is my Specialist in Realestate! She is Over-The Top Fantastic.
When I buy a home again and I will, I will use Val and Her awesome suggestions along buying from her.
She is the Bomb!
Val truly hits all of the above and over-achieves always!
Val is always 100% Spot ON!
Wonderful Staff- and again Val is Awesome!
Val is one of a kind. Lays it out the way if should be and is, "Over The Top Professional and a Wonderful Caring Person!"
Helped my Sister along with Me and my Father! What a Wonderful, Easy and Fun time!
Val I will always buy from you so, in a year or so--"Get Ready!" Yeee Haaa GOOOO VAL!!!
Val was absolutely amazing!!! She is knowledgeable, friendly and is always available for questions. We would highly recommend her, I asure you if you work with her you won't be disappointed.
M Testerman McCordsville IN , a buyer from McCordsville, IN
Had used Val on my previous home purchase and wouldn't of gone with anyone else.
Val makes all the difficulties of buying a new home super smooth and her extensive experience is helpful wihen navigating issues with a new home purchase that come up.
Would absolutely recommend Val to anyone s. You won't get a better agent anywhere.
Val, had to have a stand in at closing and even that went super smooth.
This is our second home we have purchased with Val and we are so happy to know her. She is everything you need in a realtor - caring, understands the market, and knows what it takes to get a deal done. We have benefited greatly from her strong relationships with her peers in the industry and with service providers as well. I can't say enough great things about her!
Merlena Testerman Fishers, a seller from Fishers, IN
Val was recommended to me at first from a realtor that we were working with in California. Val has now helped us with 3 homes and as long as she's still doing the job she will always have me as a client.
We were assigned Val, and we are so lucky we matched up. Val was so great to work with, we didn't even look for any other realtors
I couldn't have been happier working with Val. She was incredibly attentive and was fantastic at communicating and explaining things to us.
Val was so good at being honest with us, pointing out things in the home we didn't see ourselves, and giving us additional tips on neighborhoods and local attractions.
Val worked tirelessly with us by giving us FaceTime tours of homes (we were in the process of relocating from MN). She had great strategies on how to go in with a strong, compelling offer with multiple approaches to submitting a winning offer. When we got into negotiations, she did an incredible job negotiating on our behalf.
Anand Tsogtbaatar, Indianapolis , a seller from Brownsburg, IN
Val Hooton was professional, experienced and dedicated to our needs and interest. I would recommend Val to anyone whos looking to buy a house or sell one. She makes the process smooth and awesome.
Val exceeded all our expectations. Would not even consider any other broker.
Nancy Schmalz sold 6297 Fieldstream, a seller from Avon, IN
She communicated every step of the way. Explained contracts and made herself available 24/7. Very easy to talk to.
Tim McGaha Zionsville , a seller from Zionsville, IN
We have worked with Val on selling and buying and she is fantastic. We highly recommend her to anyone!
D. Sharp (Former Carmel, In), a seller from Carmel, IN
Hands down, Val Hooton is awesome! We found her after visiting multiple open houses and visiting with her at a couple she hosted. She was our agent for the purchase of the home over 5 years ago, so she earned the right to be our selling agent. Val exceeded all expectations.
When listing the home, Val made valid arguments to what she wanted in showing and listing the property, which influenced our decisions. It allowed us to collaborate around Val's strengths and market knowledge. Made it easy for us.
We moved states; otherwise, we'd still keep working with Val.
My only caution: Everyone spells he last name wrong. It is Val Hooton, with several "O"'s. You can remember it by knowing she is "O"-so-great.
Carlos & Anna Clark Meadows!, a buyer from Whitestown, IN
She is wonderful, glad we worked with her to buy our home!
We absolutely loved working with Val! She made a stressful situation so much easier. I don't know what my husband and I would've done without Val. We called her about EVERYTHING, and I mean everything and she ALWAYS had an answer for us. We really appreciate her. I would recommend her to anybody!
Loved, loved, loved working with Val! I can't say it enough!
I cannot say enough about the job Val had done. We bought and sold with her and shes always been professional and makes the process as smooth as possible. Best agent weve ever used!
Praneet Mohan Abbineni, Fishers, a buyer from Fishers, IN
Val did a great job, overall. Each day she informed about the updates in moving forward towards closing. She has excellent skills in negotiating the costs and get the best deal, making sure we get the home. She also recommended best lenders and inspection team for the home. She has first-hand knowledge on how Real-Estate work and I highly recommend her for others.
*
I recommend Val, to also provide past 3-6 months data about the homes sold, to the buyers close in radius to the present selling home. This would help buyers to make analysis about the price they want to bid on the selling home.
*
Val made sure we had everything we needed to make the best home purchase for our family. She went above and beyond to ensure we knew about our home, the community, and terms of our purchase. Making a move to another state could have been extremely stressful, but Val made it as seamless as possible. I cant imagine having gone through this process with any other broker. She is wonderful!
I had already contacted two other brokers and one was dilatory and the other simply never got back. As soon as I connected with Val it was immediate, quick and easy. Like an old friend or family, we picked up right where we left off. This being our 1st ever home purchase, Val made the process so smooth and easy to understand. Felt she was in our corner every step of the way.
Communication was key and that is Val. Always responsive; always in your corner. If she doesn't have the answer, she will get it for you. If we were to look for a realtor again, Val would be our 1st and only choice. Wouldn't hesitate in a moments notice.
Beth & Ted Parker/Carmel, IN, a buyer from Carmel, IN
Having grown up on the far north side of Indianapolis ( in the Meridian Hills/Williams Creek area), and graduated from NCHS, I had known Vals family way back when. As my husband and I have been married for over 35 years, and with our 3 children, have lived all over the Midwest and East Coast, we finally have happily been afforded an opportunity to return home......and watch our son play basketball for Butler Univ.!! With the realization that this move was coming to fruition, we did connect with another realtor but quickly realized it was not going to be a good fit. Having conversations with my sister-in-law she quickly recommended Val Hootonfamily friends of theirs who like themselves, also had twin sons and they were all the same age and had been friends in elementary and middle school. Not until I did a little research and saw Vals picture did I realize I had known Val and been friends with her way back when we were young kids. I reached out to her.....and we instantly connected and re-established an old friendship! This became the foundation for a terrific working agent/buyer relationship! Val represents all of the Best qualities one hopes to find wrapped up in one person......very smart and knowledgeable, intuitive, professional, resourceful, supportive. She was able to tap into what our thoughts were regarding different properties, what we were looking for, etc..... and through this process, as it did stretch out over time as we had to sell our home at the coast (Wilmington, NC) also, Val was always ready and prepared when I flew into town to do some looking! Val is the person that everyone wishes for and wants to have as an agent (and friend!!!), and that every Real Estate Agency/brokerage/company/office wants to have working for them!!! Val is a 12 on a 1-10 scale!!!
Fabulous!! Val is the Best ( speaking from a great deal of experience as we have moved 10-12 times over the years!!)
M. Scott, Indianapolis, IN, a buyer from Indianapolis, IN
I swear by Val and will be using her for all future Indianapolis transactions. It is not often that I meet service professionals who exceed my high expectations and manage to stay ahead of me on project planning. She did that.
Jenna Sheward, Zionsville, a seller from Zionsville, IN
We were connected with Val from a Zillow inquiry when we wanted a showing of a house listed. We just hit the jackpot when we randomly got matched with Val!
Val made the process so easy! She was on top if everything and guided us through each step of the way with such professionalism and kindness!
If we could rank her higher thank above, we would!
In the past, I may have thought going without a realtor would be my first choice, but seeing all that Val brought to the table and her wealth of knowledge, we truly might not have acquired our new home. She knew her contracts and paid attention to the details that could have been easily missed by myself or others.
Val Hooton was friendly and helpful. She was easy to get ahold of and willing to provide or find information to questions we had. We particularly appreciated the care she took to make sure we felt comfortable in the process of purchasing a home as first time home buyers. She helped guide us through each step of the process. We enjoyed working with Val!
I would highly recommend Val Hooton. When I called her to interview her, she immediately had great suggestions for selling our home and added value because she was so familiar with the area and current market. Val was organized, prepared us for each step along the way, and answered all of our questions. We were in constant contact with her from the beginning. She kept us in the loop after each showing and walked us through each offer and inspection report. We really appreciated her expertise throughout the entire process. Val eliminated all the stress that comes with selling a home. There is a reason Val Hooton is a top agent.
I didnt select Val. We were actually randomly connected through Zillow. I was just lucky to hit the jackpot with her! She is Knowledgeable, confident with all parties, and Has great communication! We Felt valued and important. Cant ask for more! We feel so lucky to have been matched with Val! She was a pleasure!
Val was referred to us by a friend and she did not disappoint! She found us some beautiful houses in our price range was so easy to work with. She helped us find our first home and we are grateful for her :)
Megan and Zach Miller, Indianapolis, a buyer from Indianapolis, IN
Val made this process easy and stress-free. Even with the craziness of COVID, she helped us navigate all the components of first time home buying with ease.
Val was amazing!!! She went above and beyond to fit our needs. She worked quickly and efficiently to help us find a home during a stressful time.
Would definitely use Val again!!!! We could not have asked for a better agent.
Sherry and Bob Bourgeois, Indianapolis, a seller from Indianapolis, IN
We have now both bought and sold homes with the expert guidance of Val and cannot recommend her highly enough. Both transactions had a few glitches and Val helped us through everything. As transferees to the area, Val truly listened to what we wanted and was able to find us a place to call home. She is energetic, knowledgeable, detail oriented and delightful!
Jenny Anttonen. Westfield , a buyer from Westfield, IN
Val is so amazing at what she does! She walked us through the home buying process every step of the way, and was always available to communicate by phone and text. She goes above and beyond and makes her job seem so easy. She is extremely efficient. We are so grateful to have been able to work with Val!
Lisa Oberbroeckling, Westfield, a buyer from Westfield, IN
Val is hands down, incredible! she went above and beyond in every aspect throughout the process of searching and buying my new home. She is passionate, kind, and dedicated to giving 110% for her clients. I cannot say thank you enough!
We have been dealing with Val for 4 yrs trying to find the right house. She is a wonderful person and a fantastic realtor. You are lucky she came to work for Century 21. She will be a great asset to your company.
I cant say enough good things about Val. She is an exceptional realtor.
Val Hooton represented us in the purchase of a home after we met her at an open house for another home. She is friendly, positive and knowledgeable but is also real. She quickly puts together those things you like and dislike in a home to help direct you to homes that you will want to purchase! Touring homes with her was fun and exciting as she was able to help you realize what was important (HVAC function) and not important (paint color that can easily be changed). She is the consummate professional in the purchasing and closing process. She provided names of reputable painters and contractors that were wonderful and made the new home, OUR new home! We also listed our previous home with Val and she was good to help us sell that home as well. She offered and implemented many ideas to make the house seen and known on the market. She is a joy to work with and she is on your team. We highly recommend Val!
Becky Glass. Noblesville, IN, a buyer from Noblesville, IN
I don't think I could have had a better experience buying a house, and that's all because of Val. She has so much knowledge about the home buying process, and i was so comfortable the entire time. She was able to negotiate the price down to $17,000 below list price which was amazing! It's obvious she's been doing this for a long time because she knows exactly what to ask for and gave a detailed explanation about each step along the way. This was the fourth home I've purchased but by far, the easiest it's ever been. I will definitely be calling Val for my next home purchase!
Anthony Coffenberry / Noblesville, IN, a buyer from Noblesville, IN
Couldnt have asked for a better person to handle the purchasing of our new home! Very professional, knowledgeable and an all around great person.
We were referred to Val through our friends and after meeting her, we knew she was the perfect person to help us find our home!
Val was, and still is, accessible for questions and guidance through the whole process. She is the best!
Robert Glass 7818 Cameron Pl Fishers, IN, a buyer from Fishers, IN
Even though we were living in Phoenix for over a year before we moved, Val still kept in touch, provided us with portal listings, and checked in from time to time. She stayed on top of the listings in the area we were interested in living and was incredibly helpful when the time to move was upon us! And in the meantime she also helped my parents when they were searching for a house! She helped with negotiating our offer well and we were able to get a better price for the home! And she has been helpful in getting us in touch with the right people to do some contracting work. Val Hooten is invaluable to Century 21 and that company is fortunate to have her aboard!
Vanessa Miller Nineveh, IN (lake home), a buyer from Nineveh, IN
Val is detail oriented and was available anytime needed. She was excellent in letting us know what the overall process would entail and kept us up to date throughout the buying process.
We worked with Val Hooton previously on a home sale and purchase. She was top notch then, and she was our first choice for a realtor this time. It was no surprise that she was outstanding in her support for our recent home sale. Val is so knowledgeable, helpful, personable, and goes above and beyond to help her clients meet their goals. I cannot recommend Val enough. She sets the bar high!
Our home sold quickly. I appreciated that Val scheduled an open house for right after the ad went live. I think this motivated buyers to make an offer quickly. Val provided valuable advice regarding how to set our sales price.
Val is incredibly responsive, which was important to me and much appreciated. Selling a home can be stressful, and Val's responsiveness helps ease that stress. She exceeds my expectations.
Val is simply incredible to work with. I have worked with other realtors in the past, and Val is heads and shoulders above. Beyond the professional aspects, she is a delight to work with. I highly recommend Val Hooton for your home sale or purchase!!
Ms. Hooton was extremely well organized, effective, efficient, and compassionate. She greeted us the first time with an organized folder and even bought water and drinks for the kids. She showed us the whole city. Talked about the place-- places to eat, shop, health care, libraries, parks, and entertainment. She listened to us and it showed in the houses that she showed us. She also set up meetings later in the evening because both my husband and I work long hours. She did video tours with me because I was not able to travel to follow up tours. She explained the pros and cons in great detail about the decisions that we had to make. She connected us to the right resources. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a house in Carmel, IN.
