Our Approach

Our goal as a boutique real estate company is to create lasting relationships with all of our clients. Buying or selling a home can be complicated — at CREATE, we strive to clarify and simplify the process through active communication and diligent follow-through.

Preparing a home for sale is our specialty. Years of experience have taught us what works in the Westside market, what doesn't, and how to position a property to achieve the best possible outcome. Whether you're selling your longtime family home, listing an investment property, or searching for your next residence, we bring the same level of intensity, focus, and attention to every transaction.

Led by Stace Valnes

Stace Valnes founded Valnes & Company / CREATE on a simple principle: real estate is fundamentally a relationship business. Years of repeat clients, referrals, and long-term relationships across the Westside reflect a track record of honest pricing, professional preparation, and skilled negotiation. Stace and the team are routinely recognized by clients for thoughtful marketing, strong communication, and results that exceed expectations.
