Eva Daniels, Southern Pines, NC, a buyer from Southern Pines, NC
Valerie was helpful in all aspects of the purchase of our new home. She showed multiple options and gave a sense of the area, which we weren't familiar with. Ultimately she helped us see potential in a home that felt right, and it has worked out well so far. She continues to be helpful with recommendations and questions, which we so appreciate! She worked with us both in person and from afar, and we could not have done it without her

Valerie McKean is a pro's pro. Superior knowledge of the overall market, particular properties and the nuts and bolts of her trade. And with a sincere empathy that provides great encouragement on those sometimes difficult days when buying and/or selling a home. We recommend Valerie McKean 100%!
Valerie McKean is an excellent agent beyond words can describe. I have worked with Valerie for multiple properties now and she understands every aspect of the home-buying process. She is truly an expert and was able to provide her professional opinion and knowledge beyond what is required. I cannot speak highly enough of her and recommend her to any client, whether they are a first-time home buyer or they are looking to build their real estate portfolio.

Valerie McKean was the most helpful, professional, knowlegable, and trustworthy broker anyone could hope for. She was with us every step of the way. As with all home-buying transactions, there are hiccups, (no fault of the broker) and she helped us navigate these with quick responses and top notch referrals to remedy the situation. I will recommend her to family and friends, and will definitely use her services again.
The Century 21Stirling Real Estate did a great job of selling our historic home for a price that was reasonable and more than I expected to get. I enjoyed working with Valerie McKean much.
Jeff and Julie Becker, Chapel Hill, a buyer from Chapel Hill, NC
We have known Valerie for many years, which is why we trusted her to help us find our new home. Valerie was aware of things we would like/dislike before we were. She made all of the details clear and the process easy!

Jack and Sharon Schwille, East Lansing,, a buyer from Pinehurst, NC
We responded to an ad in the local paper for the condo we were interested in and Valerie was the agent who responded to us.
I worked with Valerie on a purchase in 2019, and I was thoroughly satisfied with my experience. When I was interested in another house she was my first call and I never considered any other option.
Valerie is a busy person. I know she has A LOT going on, and that is a testament to how many people seek her services. Despite that load of work, she always returned my texts and calls. I never was concerned about her not executing the task at hand.
Valerie is the ultimate professional. She is attentive and thorough. She has a sound understanding of the market and is exceptionally organized. I have recommended her to others in the past and will continue to do so.
During our first visit to the Pinehurst area, my husband and I were fortunate to wander into the Century 21 Sterling office where we first met Valerie McKean. Her outgoing and welcoming personality were immediately evident. As we were planning a relocation from Michigan to North Carolina, we needed a real estate agent who knew the area and understood what our needs and limitations were. Purchasing a home out of state can be a bit trying at times, but Valerie made the process so easy.
Valerie was fantastic! She devoted whole days to helping us in the search, getting houses opened and guiding us all over the Pinehurst area. Her understanding of the current market as related to specific neighborhoods was invaluable, certainly saving us time.
With Valerie's professional experience, we were able to find our dream home within a three-month period. Our experience with Valerie didnt end there though. While back in Michigan, Valerie remained an essential part of our buying experience by guiding us through a long-distance home purchase. Valerie's wisdom, patience and perseverance truly made the difference. I cant say enough in recommending Valerie as an agent!

If you are looking for real partner while looking for a home in Pinehurst, I would you tell you we found one in Valerie McKean. If you are new to the Pinehurst area, I would recommend Valerie McKean help you find next home, from taking the time to show us numerous properties in all areas of town on our first visit, Valerie used that time to learn what we were looking for and the worked with me to find that perfect fit.
Valerie was extremely attentive and diligent through the process. She knew I was a first time homebuyer and she guided me through the process effectively. Her expertise was immediately apparent, and I appreciated that she was so intent on doing everything the right way.
I really can't say enough positive things. I felt that Valerie was my teammate. I trusted her input and believed she knew exactly what my goals were. She was accurate in finding things that I liked. When it came time for the offer and execution, I was totally at ease because I knew she had it under full control. As a first time homebuyer, this was a low stress process which I would have never expected to be the case.
Greg Boudreau, Tulsa, OK, a buyer from Pinehurst, NC
Valerie was knowledgeable regarding the type of property I was looking for and was extremely helpful throughout the buying & closing process
Valerie was efficient with her communications, professional and was always accessible when I called or e-mailed.
Valerie, in my opinion, went above and beyond my expectations of a broker. I am an out of state buyer, and I felt like I had a business partner in Valerie.

Valerie is THE BEST!
Valerie should mentor new brokers - She is top notch!
We felt comfortable working with Valerie - she was easy to talk with and listened to what we were looking for - kept within our price range and other requirements. We would recommend Valerie McKean to anyone interested in purchasing in the Pinehurst area. She went above and beyond meeting with us more than once during our visit to Pinehurst. She was helpful when we made the offer and was helpful in giving assistance during the due-diligence process.

Valerie sets the bar high! Her customer service is beyond excellent!
Taylor Kahn, Pinehurst, a buyer from Pinehurst, NC
My husband and I came to this area for a weekend to try and find a home. This was a stressful and extremely time sensitive situation. He had just PCS to the area, and we needed to move quickly. Upon finding our home online, we sent an email requesting to see it immediately. Not only did we get to view our home a few hours later, but we even signed our lease. Your average person usually cares about money, but for Valerie Mckean, she cared about my husband and I. We needed to move in quick, our situation was special. And instead of taking on a more simple renter, she chose us as we chose her. This is not just a buissness arrangement, but the beginning of a friendship. She makes this easy with her friendly demeanor and truly compassionate nature. An area like this has competition, I'm sure others are great as well, but if you truly are seeking someone who cares and will make not only the process good but the entire leasing term pleasant, choose Valerie McKean.
