"Some examples of Deb's responsiveness include her driving to and linking us via video home that had just come on the market but that we weren't able to get to immediately. This home was one of the homes that was similar to what we thought we were looking for but didn't appear to be a close enough match our vision of our dream house for us to seriously consider it based on the listing. After seeing the house via video - we were intrigued. We ultimately looked at the house - twice - and fell in love with it. We happily live there now. If Deb hadn't gently stretched us - we never would have found our perfect spot."

"When we listed our previous home Deb found excellent people to help us deep clean and stage our house. While the deep cleaners did a wonderful job - they did leave our dining room drapes very wrinkled at the bottom from tying them up while cleaning the floors. Deb was at our house (30 minutes from her neighborhood) early the next morning with a steamer to make sure the curtains (and everything else) was in perfect shape for the realtors' open house she had organized for that day. The stagers were unwilling to stage our screened-in front porch as it was an unlocked part of the house and they were concerned about the security of their things. Deb staged our front porch herself!"

"We met Deb randomly at an open house near the end of 2023. We started our home search somewhat casually and in the process, probably met 25-30 realtors at open houses. She stood out to us as someone who was kind, knowledgeable, and not pushy. A common frustration we ran into when meeting realtors was the notion that we needed to move quickly (eg. interest rates are going to be changing, this house has lots of interest, things move very quickly in this area, etc.) While these factors can be true, we wanted to approach our home search differently since we weren't on an aggressive timeline and Deb was really patient/supportive of this."

"We made a below price offer on our current home (lower than Deb counseled us at the start). We engaged in negotiations over the course of several hours on a Friday evening. We eventually called off the negotiations (which had been classic give and take) as we felt there was an impasse over a relatively minor remaining issue. Many realtors would have pressured us to keep going after having invested so much time and energy in the negotiation process. Deb didn't do that. She respected our "doneness". We slept on it, made a pro and con list the next morning, and called Deb. She reinitiated the negotiations and we came to an agreement we felt very good about. I believe her engaging and assertive yet warm manner created space for us and the other parties to be successful."

"Thank you Deb from Johnnie and Michael! We did it! Teamwork makes the dream work!"

"Deb was not shy about being straight with us about what we needed to do to get our prior home ready for market - including some frankly hard to hear things about what needed to go and what we needed to do to get it ready. Our home sold above asking price in two days - we had multiple offers with escalating clauses. Our house sold faster and for more than comparable homes in the neighborhood. We attribute that to Debs hard work and focus on what was important to potential buyers."

"Good morning! This is such a big and important day in our lives-brought to us by you!
We never would have looked at this house without your initiative and willingness to run over and zoom us in (not to mention helping us to clarify where we really wanted to be by running all over the metro with us). You are the best-thank you."

"She had us cc her on all emails dealing with our builders and attended multiple meetings with us as a support person. We closed and moved into our new home at the end of November and couldn't be happier with the final product. "

"We felt deeply cared for like a family member or close friend. Deb knows the Twin Cities very well, inside and out, neighborhood to neighborhood, both current day and historically. We are new here and needed someone with deep knowledge. She is skillfully "light touch" with her advice, sharing of her expertise, supporting our learning as we went, while leaving decisions to us. She understood quickly who we are and what we were seeking, beyond "the list".
