Valerie Fitzgerald: My Story

What do a 40,000-chicken farm, Michael Jackson, Bruce Willis, Sylvester Stallone, Rihanna and many other celebrity rock n rollers have in common? Valerie Fitzgerald!

I was born in South Dakota and raised in Upstate New York on a Tuttles Egg Farm. We had 40,000 chickens laying eggs all the time. To help pay the rent on our little house on the farm, my sister and I boxed eggs before school in these huge hen houses. There were thousands of hens sitting on top of large tubes laying eggs faster than we could catch them.

A road trip across America, we were like the Beverly Hills hill billies driving on our way to live in California. My mother became a successful producer of the rock n roll hit TV shows, And I got exposed to the world of entertainment. After a series of doing TV commercials, magazine covers, 10 years with the Ford Agency in New York, an abusive violent marriage, a new baby, and back to California, well let’s say I got my real estate license and never looked back.
