Ruben Valerio: Founding Partner, The Agency San Miguel
For Ruben Valerio, real estate isn’t just about property—it’s about the art of living well. As a Founding Partner of The Agency San Miguel and a representative of the Palm Desert office, Ruben brings a sophisticated eye for design and a heart for service to every transaction.
His transition into real estate was born from a deep-seated love for architecture and a “counselor’s ear” developed over decades in education and the non-profit sector. This background makes Ruben a master listener and a patient advocate, ensuring his clients feel truly heard while navigating the complexities of the market.
Whether he’s spotting the hidden potential in a mid-century fixer or identifying the perfect colonial courtyard, Ruben’s ability to visualize a home’s “next chapter” is his greatest asset.
A resident of cities defined by their creative energy, Ruben is a regular at Modernism Week and Zona Maco.
When he isn’t scouting the next architectural gem, you’ll find him on the tennis court, playing pickleball, or advocating for animal welfare. A devoted supporter of Pug Nation LA and Centro Control Canino, Ruben shares his home with his two rescues, Concha and Donut, and remains committed to making his community—and the world—a more compassionate place.
