What do Clients Say?

I highly recommend Debra Kruger. I recently worked with Debra to sell my mother’s Deerfield house. The sale was quite a challenge as the house had not been renovated since it was purchased 52 years ago and needed a lot of work. Moreover, the house still had all of its possessions in it. Debra recommended an auction company whose owner she knew personally that ensured that after family items were removed everything else was sold, the house was emptied, and the renovations could occur. She recommended which renovations to move forward on to sell the house, and which not to bother with as they would not help the sale. Then through her personal connections with contractors, she arranged for the renovations, which included landscaping, exterior and interior painting, installing hardwood floors, removing older features and appliances, ensuring that the sidewalk and steps were up to code, resurfacing the driveway, and other minor repairs. Debra supervised all of the renovations, kept me informed through e-mails and phone calls, and alerted me of additional work that was needed for my review. This was incredibly helpful for me as I do not live in the state where my mother lives. Debra also recommended an outstanding attorney to assist with the house sale and worked with me step by step on the final sale. She is a true expert in her profession. Beyond her expertise, she is a very positive person. Even though it was emotionally draining to sell the family home of 52 years, Debra made the process as straightforward and easy as possible, with a positive financial result, as well. ``` Karl Debus-Lopez

Debra is a caring and sincere professional. She helped me sell my home and buy a new one. I had some specific spacing needs for my new home, and wanted to get away from the trials of a large older home. Debra was in tune to what I was looking for, and worked hard to help me find it. The holidays were terrific, gathering the family in my new dining room.

B. Ferguson, Glencoe to Deerfield

Debra was great in helping us purchase our first home. As first time home buyers, we were both nervous and new to the process. Her patience and sensitivity to our situation was highly welcomed, and helped make an otherwise bumpy process run as smooth as possible. I'd highly recommend Debra for any other first time home buyers.

Carrie F., Deerfield Seller & Buyer

I hired Debra Kruger to sell my home in Northbrook. Matter was complicated as we moved out of state. Debra went extra mile for us constantly being available to show the house and to address all of our needs. When we got the offer, she expertly guided us through remote closing process. I would highly recommend Debra to everybody if you need real estate services.
