Every situation is unique. I’ll listen to your needs and craft a tailored plan for your home

Imagine you’re standing at the edge of a new chapter in your life, ready to make a move in the Sacramento area. You’ve thought about selling your home, but with all the options and decisions ahead, it feels like you’re navigating a maze. How do you determine the best pricing strategy, which repairs will truly boost your home’s value? Should you sell before you buy? These questions weigh on you, and the last thing you want is for your home to sit on the market, sell for less than its worth, or even worse—fail to sell at all.

This is where I come in. I’m Frank Valente, and I’ve been helping families in the Sacramento region navigate the complexities of selling their homes for over 20 years. With over 600 successful transactions under my belt, I’ve seen it all, and I know how to make your selling experience as seamless and stress-free as possible. Whether it’s ensuring your home gets the right exposure, handling negotiations with finesse, or advising you on pre-listing inspections, my goal is to eliminate your worries and get your home sold quickly, for the best price possible.

When you choose to work with Valente Real Estate Group, you’re not just hiring a realtor—you’re partnering with someone who truly listens to your needs and tailors a plan just for you. From the moment we begin, I’ll be by your side, making sure the entire process is smooth and clear. You’ll have the confidence that your home is being marketed aggressively and skillfully, attracting the attention of multiple buyers. And as we work together, you’ll feel the peace of mind that comes from knowing your home sale is in expert hands.

Selling your home isn’t merely a transaction—it’s a significant life event. That’s why my approach is centered on creating long-lasting relationships built on trust, care, and results. I understand the emotional weight of selling a home, and I’m committed to walking this journey with you, from your first consultation to the final sale, ensuring a smooth transition into the next chapter of your life. Let’s take the first step together—schedule a strategy call, and we’ll craft a plan built for just for you.

Client Testimonials

"Frank helped me get into a house during a very stressful job relocation this spring. Frank provided me only relevant homes to look at, I had a pretty extreme set of requirements! We were able to take care of everything over a single weekend. Frank stuck with me throughout my purchase, his recommendations for services - from a mortgage provider to what inspections to do. The biggest deal was he was instrumental in getting my home closed a week early, all the while I was traveling on the east coast!"

- Shannon W.

"Working with Frank and Mary was awesome! I lost count on how many homes we looked at. Not because we they weren't finding good matches, but because the market was/is that hot! We finally found a home in an area that we love and are loving our home. I couldn't have asked for a better person to show us around. If you are in the market for a realtor, you have found a great one!"

- Mike C.

"Frank and his wife Mary helped us in our first purchase. We had been looking for over two years and had already "gone through" a couple other agents in our journey. Frank' expertise, knowledge of the market, and his honesty was very appreciated. Several times during the negotiation and escrow, I though we were going to lose the house...but Frank made it happen!"
