Testimonials

"Debbie was my agent for the sale of my San Mateo home. She knows her stuff, she keeps her word, and she delivers great results. I felt I could trust Debbie's judgment on what work needed to be done on the house to prepare it for sale. She has a broad network of contractors with whom she works closely, and she was able to get all of the work scheduled and completed in a very timely manner. Importantly, the house was ready for market before summer ended. It was a pretty good market for sellers at the time, but that doesn't guarantee a slam dunk. Debbie's strategy yielded seven offers one week after listing. From comparable recent sales in my neighborhood, I am confident that Debbie did an absolutely top-notch job. I had high expectations when I signed on with Debbie, and she met them. I would recommend her to a friend without hesitation."

"I listed my home of 15 years with Debbie Elowson and it sold $100k over asking in 11 days. It was the number I wanted, and we got because she helped me make it a show house! She listened to all my needs and concerns. Debbie went above and beyond her normal line of service as a realtor. She even shopped for lighting for me! Debbie has an amazing attention to detail. She has integrity, is highly respected among her peers and is very professional. You can trust and depend on Debbie. She is highly capable and has high level relationships. I would recommend Debbie and refer anyone to sell or find the home of your dreams."

"Debbie is a fantastic realtor! We used her to purchase our first home a few years ago, and then returned to her to sell our first home and purchase our second home this year. She is an excellent communicator, always available by phone or text, and works extremely hard for her clients around the clock. Her analysis of comps is thorough and thoughtful both as on the seller as well as the buyer side and is an excellent negotiator. I would recommend her to anyone looking for top quality realtor service!"

"I called Debbie asking about a house she had listed, and in spite of the fact that she had just spent all day reviewing 10 offers on that house and it being a Friday evening, she was very kind and gracious on the phone. She took the time to answer all of my questions and I was really struck by her sincerity. We were considering selling our home and from that conversation alone, I felt like she was someone we would want to work with. And I wasn't wrong. Over the last several months, Debbie has walked us through the entire process of planning, fixing up our Menlo Park home, and selling it. She did it with grace, professionalism, and empathy for our states of mind at various times throughout the process. She is knowledgeable and has many connections. If she doesn't know the answer to something she knows who to ask. After selling our Menlo Park home we began looking for our new home around Belmont/San Mateo, and her knowledge and predictive powers about the market were invaluable. Inventory was extremely limited, but through her connections we were able to buy our beautiful home in a quiet neighborhood--just what we were looking for! Everyone we worked with in this process, from financial people to contractors to the escrow officers love Debbie and hold her in the highest regard. When we tell other realtors who we are working with, they know her and say how great she is. We feel safe and well-taken-care-of with her. She gives everything the time it needs, and we always felt like we had her undivided attention."

"Debbie very patiently helped us on our house hunt for almost 1.5 years. She was always organized and prompt and did her research really well on the pricing, comps. She had deep insights on the various neighborhoods in the Peninsula and housing purchase criteria which helped us make more informed choices. She would preview houses for us in advance which really helped us save time as we are both working and could only see so many houses on the weekends. As our house hunt prolonged, we modified our criteria. But Debbie was always understanding of that. We are really glad to have partnered with Debbie on our house hunt and glad to have finally found a house we truly love."

"In this competitive Bay Area market, timing and understanding of the neighborhood and comps are everything. You need a real estate agent who is extremely detailed-oriented and has a well-coordinated team of people to help execute on the sale. Debbie is a real estate agent. She is dedicated and knows how to make a competitive offer. Throughout the home-buying process, she provided us with straightforward advice and took the time to thoroughly answer our questions While we knew Debbie has multiple clients, we always felt like we were her only clients. That's the type of attention Debbie provides, no matter the buyer's budget."

"Debbie collaboratively discussed with us what fixes would be beneficial to the sale price for our home, and what fixes were not beneficial. When Debbie was unsure, she would reach out to her network of experts — such as asking a landscaper to come and assess if working on our backyard was a wise way to spend our money — in this case, the answer was a very valuable no. Debbie also persuades with facts — such as the value of staging the home, statistics to determine a listing price and the timing of the sale. Because of Debbie's expertise, we sold our home for considerably more than we had expected."

"If you want a high-caliber, knowledgeable and trustworthy individual to be your advocate for your real estate needs, Debbie Elowson is your person! She stands out from the crowd because she not only is an expert in her field, but she is a person of great integrity who genuinely cares about the people with whom she works. Debbie has repeatedly exhibited to us her dedication and steadfast commitment to getting the job done well, efficiently and with aplomb, going above and beyond to understand her clients’ needs, developing key strategies and following through."

"There are realtors, and then there are realtors... Debbie Elowson was, from the moment we connected, amazing. She is thorough, available, and understands the market. She has a team of people that will get your house ready, on the market and sold in record time! I recommend Deb to all my clients who are thinking of buying or selling a house. I wouldn't trust anyone else."
