For Valencia Marierose, owner of VM Realty, Renovations & Designs, the goal is clear: to empower people into home ownership and to serve families, providing them with a foundation for a better future. Focused and committed to transforming houses into homes and helping families achieve their dreams, Valencia highlights, “My team and I are fully engaged in the real estate business, offering comprehensive services including complete renovations—from bringing houses up to full standard to ensuring optimal functionality for families.”
Unless the property is turnkey - meaning it is move-in ready, fully functional, and does not require any immediate repairs, renovations, or upgrades - there is often still work to be done. Valencia attests that a well-designed home can significantly improve a family’s quality of life, and she has the skills to make a house a home.
A recent kitchen renovation transformed the space for a busy family of five, including three school-aged boys, allowing for a higher degree of functionality and engagement in their daily activities. Valencia opened up the kitchen, creating a large island that serves as a hub for the family. “This open space allows everyone to be connected whether they are cooking, doing homework, watching TV, or chatting in the living room.
Valencia’s signature design often features a 9-foot or larger island that stands out and serves as a focal point for the home. "I love a good kitchen island and all the benefits it offers - a larger workspace, more storage, additional seating, and aesthetic appeal. Many potential homebuyers consider a functional kitchen island a significant selling point for the home.”
At the core of VM Realty is Valencia’s servant’s heart. "My spiritual gift is the gift of hospitality. It always has been in every line of work I’ve done, which connects naturally to customer service." This commitment to service drives Valencia to help clients understand what they are getting into and support them in reaching their goals. “We accept opportunities that are considered challenging in the current market, and work tirelessly to find solutions and improve our clients' potential for success.”
Valencia’s gift of service includes holding a special place in her heart for young adults. She is dedicated to helping them become homeowners and entrepreneurs. By building a team of young professionals and providing them with the tools and knowledge they need, Valencia aims to foster a new generation of homebuyers and real estate professionals.
Clients' specific needs and preferences are Valencia's top priority, supported by an experienced and skilled team to achieve the desired outcome. Whether it's renovating space or helping a prospective client understand the complexities of real estate, Valencia is committed to educating her clients. “We offer monthly workshops on mortgage lending, new construction, and more; partnering with local lenders and builders in the South Georgia area. These workshops are free and open to all, providing valuable insights and resources to prospective homebuyers and investors.”
Valencia’s dedication to her clients is evident in every interaction. A notable example is a client who attended one of her workshops tailored for Spanish-speaking participants. At the time of the workshop, the client needed to improve their credit to qualify for a mortgage. Trusting Valencia’s guidance, the client worked with her and a lender to achieve their goal. “Clients are willing to stay the course with me, knowing I will walk alongside them every step of the way.”
VM Realty, Renovations & Designs will host its next workshop on August 24th in Peachtree City. These workshops are typically held on the last Saturday of the month and include light refreshments, drawings, fellowship, and a Q&A session.

Valencia is humbled by the trust placed in her by clients, especially those with language barriers and cultural differences. ”My mission is to build long-lasting relationships with my clients.” Lenders often refer clients to Valencia, confident in the level of service and care she provides. "The referral source is probably the greatest source," she notes, emphasizing that her success is built on the trust and satisfaction of her clients. “At VM Realty, Renovations & Designs, we are dedicated to building homes and building hope, one family at a time.”
