Deb's tireless approach to ensuring informed decisions can be made as a vendor can't be over stated. Her engaging relatable nature, makes one as the vendor, and as a purchaser feel at ease. We felt at ease with amazing support from Deb throughout the journey of preparing for and selling our property. Super Starr for sure :)

Where do I start? Deb was friendly and approachable when we first met at an open home for 20A Oakdale. Our experience with her as a buyers agent has been nothing short of exceptional. From the very beginning, her friendly and positive nature set the tone for a collaborative and enjoyable home-buying journey. She didn't just see us as clients; she treated us like friends, making the entire process feel personal and meaningful. One of the standout qualities was her remarkable responsiveness to how we were feeling and reacting as first home buyers. Deb understood when to push and when to relax and it made the search process efficient and stress-free. We explored various options together and she provided valuable insights and guidance along the way. Her expertise in the real estate market combined with her genuine enthusiasm made us confident that we were in the right hands. Looking ahead, we have no doubt that we'll continue to rely on her expertise for our future house purchases. Finding a buyer's agent who not only excels professionally but also brings warmth and sincerity to the relationship is a rare gem, and we feel fortunate to have found exactly that. If you're searching for a dedicated, friendly, and responsive buyer agent, look no further. We certainly won't. Dave & Bela

Rookie vendors are in safe hands; excellent service with plenty of communication.

Adam and I are truly so grateful for all you have done for us. You really went above and beyond as we navigated this process under the challenging circumstances of being overseas buyers. From the incredibly well-organized and extensive one-day apartment tour all the way through the offer process (and fall out) and finally to closing on this apartment, your patience and professionalism were so evident and appreciated. We know this would not have happened without you. I do hope we keep in touch. Lynair & Adam - July 2023

Michaela & Michael

Good afternoon Deb, Just wanted to again thank you and make special reference to your assistance in our journey of purchasing our first home. The advice you gave from the onset of our search to the unconditional signing of our new home was amazing. Your assistance in providing us with information regarding the market, areas, and personal perspectives relating to the decision we made on our new home, made it a much easier decision. Furthermore, you referred us to our Mortgage Advisor who was exceptionally helpful, as well as keeping us on the ball when it came to signing both the conditional and unconditional contracts. Would honestly look no further in terms of an Agent for any future property purchases. Kind regards Michaela & Michael - June 2023

Deb is a kind lady and easygoing, so I felt rest assured during the home-buying process. Her knowledge of the owner gave us peace of mind when buying a home. Deb truly reflected the situation of the house when it was sold, and communicated in a timely manner, so that I could bid with confidence. After the house is sold, Deb will continue to provide services. The small problems encountered during the renovation process are expected. If there are major problems, I will report them to Deb. Overall, Deb communicated well with buyers and sellers during the house sale process. She was serious and responsible and facilitated the transaction. This is a very good result.

Deb has been an integral part of our journey to find a suitable home for our semi-retirement life. She made sure she understood our requirements and provided us with valuable information to make an informed decision. She kept us updated at all times and made sure that she or her husband Trevor was available for all our viewings - some of them more than once, guided us on multiple offers and auction processes, and answered all our questions patiently. Deb ensured that we were completely happy with our decisions at all times. She did this for all properties we showed an interest in, irrespective of the agencies it was listed with. We believe we would not have been able to buy the property we did without her. We highly recommend her services which were beyond our expectations of the role." Heartfelt thanks and Best Wishes for your continued success Gayatri

Deb is amazing! She went over and above helping me secure my first home in only 6 weeks! Deb took a real interest in me and wanting to understand exactly what I was looking for. She kept me in the loop of new listings and went out of her way to make viewings etc happen. Settlement was a breeze and made so special by the homely touches Deb made to the place in preparation for my arrival.

We are not ‘experts’ at buying and selling, so the search for a new home could have been hugely intimidating if it wasn’t for Deborah’s sensitive and expert help. She provided us with a constant flow of information and detail, was always available to answer questions and to talk us through any concerns. We felt very confident that we were getting the comprehensive information we needed without being overwhelmed with the volume. We are delighted with the gem she helped us find, and we look forward to a fabulous season ahead in our new home.’

Deb helped me out a lot, even when the deals didn't work out. You really, really helped us find out the information. Thanks to the information Deb provided for us, we were able to make an informed and successful decision. They say information is power and once we had all the information we felt we understood which property to go for. We will definitely get in touch with Deb when we buy our next property. I wanted to tell you a big thank you for all your help and hard work.

Deb made the buying process so effortless. I could trust Deb that she had my best interests at heart and that I was armed with facts and details that helped me make my decision, and feel confident about it. I am totally thrilled with the house I purchased, and would thoroughly recommend Debs to anyone looking at buying or selling.
