"Shopping for a Realtor is more important
than shopping for a home." |

Judith M. Naimo, a native of California, is the founder and sole proprietor of Green Valley Associates, a real estate brokerage in Napa, California since 1987. She earned her Bachelor of Science Degree in Psychology from U.C. Santa Barbara in 1970. In 1972 she visited a college friend who was teaching school in St. Helena, and fell in love with the Napa Valley. She worked for the County of Napa as an adult education teacher in those early years on the Napa Valley College Campus, at Napa State Hospital, and at the Napa County Jail tutoring GED.
Judy began selling real estate in 1980, and became co-owner of Rose Realty in 1982.
She received her Brokers license in 1984, and in 1987 founded Green Valley Associates.
Judy is a Certified Residential Specialist and is also in the ranks of the elite Graduates of the Realtor Institute.
Judy is a board member of the North Bay Housing Coalition; a volunteer organization dedicated to providing independent and supported living housing to individuals with developmental disabilities. She is also an ordained minister in Great Western Brotherhood.
Judy entered the real estate business at a time where interest rates were at an all time high and most properties were on the market for sometimes years. Because of this she is exceptionally focused on making sure that each of her clients’ real estate dealings are analyzed as the investment they truly are. Judy’s perspective is that real estate should fit her clients’ long term goals and that a planning session in the beginning can save time, money and taxes. She develops a strategy that suits her clients individually. She learned early on the importance of reducing the chaos and confusion created in most real estate transactions, and works extensively with buyers, sellers and investors to purchase and sell real property quickly and profitably, with less disruption to their families.
History of Green Valley Associates
When its doors opened in November 1987, Green Valley Associates was not only a sole proprietorship; it was a one agent office. In May of 2004, the first additional licensed agent was added and in October a second agent was added. In 2005 a business and marketing coach was hired and short and long range plans were developed. It was a pivotal year, and time and financial resources were spent on totally revamping the company. Automatic client contact systems were created and implemented. Websites were enhanced and multiplied. Customer tracking before, during and after sale was created. Telephone systems were changed to internet based. With these innovations, 3 more agents joined the firm in 2005. In 2006 4 more agents were added and the need for office space went from 497 square feet to 2300 square feet. Since January of 2007 an additional 5 agents have joined this firm.
With the increase in agents, customer services expanded to include an executive rental and extended stay division, a property management division, a sales division, a commercial division and a business opportunity division. An in house technology and advertising manager was hired in 2005. The number of sales transactions increased as the number of licensed agents joined the firm and it became necessary to hire a sales manager in 2006.
Location
As you can see, 2300 square feet is no longer enough space to hold staff, agents and clients. As of September of 2007, Green Valley Associates is located on the corner of Lincoln Avenue and Jordan Lane. The buildings with the blue tile roofs at 575 Lincoln Avenue offer both visibility and accessibility. A block away from Jiffy Lube, Wal-Mart, Subway sandwiches, Quiznos, Round Table Pizza, World Savings and Hollywood Video, we are easy to find and always have plenty of parking.
Historically Strong
In a market where many companies are downsizing and agents have no sales volume, Green Valley Associates continues to flourish. Repeat and referral business are the corner stone of this locally owned company. In a relatively small town, reputation and past performance outweigh other competitors.
Don't be confused. It costs you just as much to hire a part time or inexperienced agent
as it does to hire me.
I'm committed to my profession. My motto is:
A HOUSE A WEEK
