Here is what I value in a Realtor:

Knowledge. I want someone that can bring me value beyond what I can get from going to Redfin and
putting in some parameters. I am fully capable of seeing what is on MLS and previewing pictures. What
Deborah brings is a wealth of knowledge. Be it neighborhood information that isn’t apparent or
intricacies of an easement that would take me a while to research, Deborah will either give you the
information or personally connect you with someone that has it.

Attention to Detail: The devil is always in the details. Whether it is a seemingly inconsequential detail
about the property that later comes back to haunt you or a peculiarity in the contract, Deborah is on top
of it. For example, there was one page, buried within a 400 page document, that Deborah remembered
and found when I had a specific question about the property. Amazing.

Honesty. Real estate is a tricky business. Especially on the buyer’s side. Being purely commissioned
based at a % of the sales price, real estate agents are incentivized to find the most expensive property at
the highest price that the buyer can afford. Deborah is the first agent I’ve worked with that has actually
dissuaded me from purchasing a (significantly) more expensive home — and for good reason. Even
knowing my maximum price point, she still included houses that were well below it — and we ended up
with one of those with her encouragement. I am extremely happy (and grateful) to her for ending up
with the property that we did. I don’t believe the outcome would have been the same with any other
agent I have worked with in the past.

At the end of the day, actions speak louder than words. When the deal was all said and done, we hired
Deborah again to manage our Vacation Rental Property. True to form, she has done an amazing job —
finding, managing, and dealing with every detail. Whether you are looking for a new house or someone
to help manage a rental property, Deborah will do an amazing job.
