A testament to her work ethic is the strong network of repeat and referral clientele.

neighborhoods of Corona del Mar and Newport Beach. She is regarded amongst clients and peers alike as one of the most respected and experienced Realtors in Corona del Mar and Newport Beach.
Prior to joining Valentine Properties, Valentine-Poska was a partner with Deloitte & Touche, an international professional services firm. At Deloitte, she ran the investment banking group where she
assisted domestic and international companies raising capital for growth, as well
as mergers and acquisitions. She was the Valedictorian of her class at the University of Southern California, graduating summa cum laude with a degree in finance and economics. After working for The Koll Company, she earned an MBA from Harvard Business School. Currently, she serves on the Newport Beach Board of Realtors®, where she was recently re-elected to serve her fourth term as Treasurer.
They look forward to assisting their clients navigate and profit from the current
market conditions. “Despite the current challenges in the real estate market, there
will be tremendous buying opportunities,” Valentine remarked. “The housing market is
vital to our economy. As I have experienced over the past 30 years, once people believe
that the housing market has hit bottom, they start making transactions with
confidence.” Valentine-Poska added, “the global financial crisis has wiped out trillions
of dollars in property values worldwide and the challenges facing the global real estate industry are greater than they have been in years. However, this chaos creates opportunities for investors in residential real estate.”
Both Valentine-Poska and Valentine believe that, “Surterre Properties understands the need for innovation and continuous improvement in the real estate industry. Surterre will continue with their
remarkable success because of their on-going investment in local and global market research, technological advancements and outstanding people. We are extremely impressed with Surterre and its network of 305 of the area’s most experienced and successful agents. Operating in an industry with few barriers to entry, Surterre has differentiated itself and created a distinct competitive advantage with its award winning in-house advertising team and industry leading technology department.”
They team looks forward to providing their clients with all of the resources and support of their new team at Surterre Properties.
