Valerie Timms is a businesswoman, who started out from humble beginnings and achieved her success through sheer drive and motivation to avoid a mediocre life.

Keen to experience more, Valerie embarked upon the ownership of a franchise and very quickly catapulted her office to the number one office in Ray White SA/NT for many years. Considered a long-term elite performer within her group, she grew one of the largest businesses in the state, and spent much of her time growing, mentoring and nurturing her sales team to success, all whilst selling an elite volume of real estate. Her awards include:
