Valerie Turner
Realtor Partner
Innovation. Organization. Attentiveness: The people who rely on Valerie Turner during some of
life’s biggest decisions know that they are getting the straight story, sound advice, and reassurance. And with that, they gain the knowledge and confidence to make smart decisions and close profitable transactions.
For more than a decade before entering real estate sales, Val learned the industry’s ins and outs while working as a marketing director and corporate trainer for a West Coast REIT. That experience, combined with her marketing communication degree and incredible instincts, positions Valerie – and her clients – for imminent success.
Her consistently high rankings prove Val’s point that the busiest agents are the best agents. She and the members of the Turner DeMarco Group are deeply embedded in the market and well known for achieving creative solutions amid the complexities of real estate sales.
Val truly understands the buyers and sellers in the Greater Sacramento Area and she has a special appreciation for El Dorado County. Think of her listings as buyer-magnets; she tailors each one to reach the ideal buyer relocating here from places like the Bay Area and Southern California.
As a mother of school-age children and a toddler, she’s living the life that buyers are seeking within the beautiful communities of El Dorado Hills, Cameron Park, Folsom, Rescue, Roseville, Rocklin, Granite Bay, Loomis and the rest of the Sacramento region.
You might say Val is married to the industry, literally; her husband is a mortgage broker. She is extremely attuned to the market, investment opportunities and mortgage options, and she regularly shares her insight with the Turner DeMarco group and the clients they serve.
Val fully embraces the Northern California lifestyle that she has been blessed to promote for buyers and sellers since 2007. When she’s not showing homes or creating impact for listings through her design and pre-listing expertise, you can find her hanging out with family, camping, dirt biking, snowboarding, paddle boarding, boating, traveling, and enjoying all things that life in Northern California offers.
Having served hundreds of buyers and sellers over the years, and have witnessed all kinds of market scenarios, no residential real estate situation can surprise Val. She’s equipped with the right resources and the perfect attitude to handle anything she and her clients will face in a competitive market.

It’s one thing to be awed by Gail’s marketing and negotiating skills or by her suite of pre-listing services that result in shorter market times and higher sale prices. At least as meaningful is Gail’s deep grasp of what drives real estate success in El Dorado County.
Having begun her luxury real estate career in the Bay Area’s Palo Alto before relocating to El Dorado Hills in 2015, Gail understands, firsthand, the particular factors motivating buyers in El Dorado County.
