For me, luxury isn’t just about square footage or finishes- - it’s about how you choose to live and what makes life meaningful and inspiring. I created The Valencia Collection to be more than just a real estate brand. It’s rooted in service, integrity, and support because I believe your home should do more than just look good. It should support the life you are building, reflect what matters most to you and grow with your needs. At the heart of the Valencia Collection is a mission to help you uncover how you define luxury. I know that true luxury is personal. For some it might be a 500 square foot studio in the city, but for others it might be a 5,000 square foot modern farmhouse in the suburbs. Or, maybe your vision of luxury goes beyond the walls. Perhaps, it’s about finding a community that uplifts you, supports your goals, and helps your family thrive.

 

Luxury living is more than just the fine details, it means being seen, supported, and empowered in the place you call home. It’s about curating not just beautiful spaces, but beautiful lives by aligning yourself with neighbors, schools, gyms, and surroundings that nurture your well-being. Whether you are buying or selling, The Valencia Collection is where luxury begins and where your next chapter finds its place. I’m Abby Valencia-Gooding and I’m here to serve as your Advocate, your Vision, & your Guide towards a life that feels as good as it looks! 

 

I’ve been a nurse for 24 years and an ICU RN since 2004. These are the years that taught me how to listen deeply, advocate fiercely, and guide others through tough times with empathy and skill.

 

I started my real estate career in 2008 while still working full time at Brigham & Women’s Hospital. I took a few years hiatus from real estate during a challenging season of life after my mom passed. However, I recommitted to real estate. I chose to grow and push forward even though my mindset was clouded by grief and uncertainty.

 

I made the switch to EXP Realty after following Mike Sherrard on YouTube for 6 months prior to joining his group, the Wolfpack, within EXP Realty. That quote, “Who you surround yourself with matters” is evident here. The wealth of knowledge that he and other agents in the Wolfpack share has been life-changing. They are true experts in their field and I'm continuously learning from everyone in the group. I decided to partner with EXP Realty’s luxury division and in April 2025 & I joined the Goss Boss Team, led by luxury coach Windy Goss. These mentors, coaches, and teammates all want to see you win–just like I do for my clients.

 

I start my day at CompTrain New England (formerly Crossfit New England), where I’ve trained for 9 years. It’s my second home: a place where I clear my mind & get energized to accomplish hard things together. By the way, Peter Welch’s Boxing Gym in South Boston is where my love of fitness began. That same energy drives how I serve my clients: with dedication, heart, and a tribe of support behind me.

 

Outside of real estate, I’m a mom of 2 incredible kids and married to my very own SuperMan - the main chef, master multi-tasker, and steady heart of our family. We share our home with our sweet, German Shepherd-Chocolate Lab mix. I love spending quality time with my family, whether we’re on a vacation or enjoying a cozy staycation! You’ll often find me at the gym, swimming in our pool, designing jewelry, or dreaming up our next home renovation project!
