Meet Chris

Covering Warwick, Leamington Spa and South Warwickshire

Hi, I’m Chris Valentini. I’m a personal estate agent working in Warwick, Leamington Spa, and the surrounding South Warwickshire area.

I work with just a few homeowners at a time, mainly focusing on family homes, unique properties, and premium homes. This lets me give each sale the time and attention it deserves.

For me, estate agency is more than putting a property online and waiting for enquiries. It’s about understanding what makes a home special, showing it at its best, creating real interest, and negotiating the best outcome for the owner.

A More Personal Approach to Estate Agency

Many people get frustrated when traditional estate agencies pass them from one team member to another. The person who values your property might not be the same one who does the viewings, handles offers, or manages the sale.

When you work with me, you deal with me directly from start to finish.

I take care of the whole process myself, from our first conversation and launching your property to negotiating, managing the sale, and making sure everything goes smoothly until completion. I aim to do all the viewings because it helps me get to know each buyer, answer their questions, and pick up details that can really help when it’s time to negotiate.

You can reach me directly by phone or WhatsApp, even in the evenings and on weekends, when it’s often easier to talk about your move.

Why I Joined The Avenue

I joined The Avenue because their approach matches how I believe estate agency should work: focusing on quality, great marketing, and truly personal service.

The Avenue gives me the tools, support, and freedom to run my own local business, so I can focus on what matters most: getting the best results for my clients.

I don’t try to have the most properties on the market. I want to be known for giving every home the right strategy, great presentation, and full commitment from start to finish.

Honest Advice and Strong Negotiation

I believe good estate agency starts with honest advice. That means giving homeowners a realistic view of their property and the market, even when it would be easier to just say what they want to hear.

Once your property is on the market, I stay proactive. I keep a close eye on how the marketing is working, give useful feedback, and suggest changes based on what I see.

Negotiation is a key part of my job. It’s not just about passing offers back and forth. By speaking directly with buyers, understanding their situation, and building a good relationship, I can negotiate more effectively for you.

This approach has helped me get offers at or above the asking price, close tough negotiations, and sell properties that other agents found difficult. I often sell homes for double-digit percentages above the asking price and sometimes in less than 48 hours, or even without listing them publicly.

Marketing That Makes Buyers Feel Something

Every home has its own story, and good marketing should help buyers imagine themselves living there.

With The Avenue, I can use top-quality marketing like HDR photos, video tours, drone shots, and twilight photography when it suits the property. I also write detailed property descriptions and run targeted social media campaigns to reach buyers who will truly appreciate your home.

The goal isn’t just to get more views. It’s to get the right response from the right buyers.

I pay attention to details that are often missed, like the order of photos, how I introduce a property, and how I follow up after viewings. These things affect how buyers see a home and how much they’re willing to pay.

Local Knowledge and Local Connections

I’m based in Barford, just outside Warwick, and I work across Warwick, Leamington Spa, and the nearby villages.

South Warwickshire has a wonderful mix of places to live, from Warwick’s history and charm to Leamington’s parks, restaurants, and lively town centre, as well as the friendly communities and countryside in the villages.

People are choosing a lifestyle, a community, and often a place to raise their family. My knowledge of local schools, transport links, amenities, communities, and individual neighbourhoods helps me explain the wider value of living here.

Outside of work, I’m a dad to two teenage daughters, I play rugby, and I produce music. Rugby in particular has taught me about commitment, resilience, and teamwork - qualities I bring to helping people move home.

What My Clients Say

My clients often mention my communication, honesty, patience, and willingness to go the extra mile in their reviews.

One seller said:

“From the outset, Chris was fantastic, from valuing the property to getting it on the market.  He’s so approachable, knowledgeable and enthusiastic.  Nothing was ever too much trouble and he went above and beyond to help me with the sale of my house.”

Another client highlighted my:

“Patience, empathy and outstanding understanding of service.”

Another said:

“Chris’s positivity and wealth of experience that made him a pleasure to work with (which is not always a given in the estate agency world).”

Clients have also described me as efficient, responsive, trustworthy, and never pushy. These comments mean a lot to me because that’s exactly the experience I want every client to have.

Here From Start to Finish

Finding a buyer is a big step, but it’s not the end of the journey.

After a sale is agreed, I stay involved by keeping in touch with the buyer, solicitors, mortgage advisers, and other agents in the chain. I work proactively to spot problems, keep everyone updated, and make sure things keep moving toward completion.

Moving home can be exciting, stressful, and emotional all at once. My job is to give honest advice, clear updates, and steady support from start to finish.
