What do Clients Say?

“Deby is an absolute gem! I have never had a realtor work harder for me than she did. She is extremely professional and knows the market like the back of her hand. She is a go getter and will help you find and buy the perfect house no matter what it takes. She was available to take my calls and emails at any time of day or night. The market is really challenging right now, and I even wanted to give up at times. But she hung in there with me. She encouraged me and supported me no matter what. She also is a pro with all of documentation and forms. She helped me win the house of my dreams and I couldn't have done it without her! She has a loyal customer for life in me and I highly recommend her!!! Thank you Deby!”

“Deby is easy to work with, highly knowledgeable, and a great communicator. I was selling a rented condo while living out of state, so that left a lot for Debbie to manage, and she did it masterfully. She recommended high-value improvements to the place that definitely helped it sell for a good price. Her attention to detail is second –to-none. The photographs she had taken of the place were also stunning. Moreover, when we didn’t initially get an offer at the price we wanted, she came up with a creative marketing solution that got us right where we wanted to be. I could not recommend her more.”

“Taking on a move to a new state you barely know is daunting. The thought of renting for a year to get to know the area seemed like a lot of work and added moving expense. So when we decided to buy right away, we asked our daughter and son-in-law and they recommended Deby Rourke. They had bought their house with Deby and they thought she was wonderful. So we met with Deby, and from the first meeting; it was all about what we wanted. No high sales, no pushing. We had given her some basics of what we wanted and she showed up with listings that fit our requests. She made herself available to move quickly on homes we were interested in, and when we made a bid, she ensured it was immediate and thorough. Deby truly cares about getting you into the home that you want--not the one she wants to sell. We are very happy with our new home, she helped us get expert appraisals to get some leverage for extra cash towards needed repairs and made the paperwork a breeze with e-sign. We owe a big thank you to Deby!”

“I don't spend time rating anything. However, I am so impressed with Deby's work that I am compelled to comment here. Deby planned the listing of our house and then EVERY aspect of it happened with precision. From photographing our home, the sign placement in front, to the flyer copy, everything happened exactly when she said it would, with quality that exceeded my highest expectations. Deby's efforts attracted more people to the open home(s) than I could imagine. When offers came in, Deby worked until midnight, often, to respond to some complicated and unusual circumstances to help both the potential buyer and us overcome challenges. She truly cares for her clients and has the experience to handle anything.”

“Deby is a wonderful agent to work with and a true professional. As first time home buyers we did not possess much knowledge of the home buying process, but Deby took the time to educate us and made sure we had the information we needed when we needed it. Deby was prepared and has an excellent knowledge of the local market. At one of our first consultations we were provided with extensive housing data about all the neighborhoods we were looking at. When looking at homes she helped us analyze pros and cons for each, as well as where each potential home fit in terms of the current market and value. Once we selected a home she helped us negotiate a reasonable price and she did an excellent job of coordinating the details with the sellers. Her network of local contacts was invaluable as we proceeded deep into the closing process. She took initiative when it came to contacting other parties, including various contractors for estimating the cost of future work, inspectors, and city officials. In addition to finding us a home, she also provided us with recommendations of multiple lenders which helped us to secure the right loan. Overall we had a great experience from start to finish with Deby and we were very comfortable with her. Buying a home is stressful, but she made it as easy as possible by being responsive and always answering our calls and questions in a timely manner. We will recommend Deby to anyone we know looking to buy a home!“
