Testimonials
"Debbie Miller is my "go-to" Realtor for both my personal and professional needs. As the owner of GeriatriCare Management, Inc., a Care Management firm in Northern Virginia, I often refer clients to her due to her experience and professionalism in dealing with the social/emotional issues of selling a home. When I had a home to sell recently in Arlington, I called her without any hesitation. Throughout the process, Debbie was wonderful at communicating with me on what to expect, the next steps, and things I needed to do. She was on-site and by my side when I needed her and was an amazing advocate. She made the entire experience so easy and less stressful. Her great personality and happy disposition make working with Deb a pleasure! I would not hesitate to recommend her to my clients and friends/family."
- Stephanie T."Debbie: I will forever be thankful that I chose you as my Realtor. Right from the beginning you took charge of arranging for things to happen, and I couldn't believe how smooth everything went. You checked in with me just about every day to ensure that things were going along as planned. I was very impressed early on, but even more so as we approached the time for the open house (when I was going to be out of town). I couldn't believe that I was given an offer on the first day and you arranged for the paperwork to be accomplished with me via telephone and internet. I was even more impressed that you knew how to get everything done.
After settlement was completed and we said our goodbyes, I thought that would be the end of a very satisfactory arrangement. But no, you willingly came through for me again, as I needed some information for tax purposes, and you promptly produced. I said to myself: I'm one very lucky man! Thank you! Thank you!"
"Dear Debbie: While this letter is addressed to you, it's really intended to be read by those who come after us searching for a Realtor. When I was still working, there was an employee rating system in effect. Each year, we received "report cards" from our bosses. Most employees were rated "MR" , meaning that they did all that was expected of them. A few superstars earned a "CE" which stood for Clearly Exceeds expectations. The highest accolade, however, was "RE" or rarely equaled. I never knew anyone who received a "RE". Perhaps it was reserved for the president of the company. The point of this lengthy introduction is to tell your potential clients that based upon our experience we would award you and "RE". Your combination of management skills, expert knowledge, persistence, and good humor, topped off by your willingness to go the extra mile, made the experience of selling our home as good as it can get. So again, many thanks for all you did. And remember, if I ever go back to working for pay, I want to hire you. Sincerely,"
- Ted and Mary P."Instead of selling to an iBuyer who was going to charge me a 14% fee, I followed your advice and hired you to manage the improvements that netted me $20K more than the list price! "
- Alison W."I had treasures I collected over the years from my overseas travels. You helped me sort through them and organized my clutter, then had my home professionally staged. I was so pleased when my home sold for the highest price ever recorded in my community! Your attention to detail was much appreciated! And now I have money to enjoy my retirement!"
- Florence C."Debbie's knowledge and experience came at exactly the right time for us. She was referred to us by friends she had helped buy a home. She responded quickly and led us through a challenging logistical situation—finding the right house, buying the right house, getting work done on the house, and moving into our house -- all in less than 6 weeks in a challenging Seller's market. This seemed impossible, but here we are! Every recommendation she made for contractors yielded on-time, high-quality, and excellent customer service! We recommend Debbie to anyone who needs expertise in real estate negotiations, and access to her trusted contractor network. She knows Northern Virginia like the back of her hand and found the home that met our needs!"
- Jen and Ken"My wife and I had been renters for many years, but we wanted to buy a home. Debbie's patience and knowledge of the area helped us decide where to look for a home we could afford and that didn't need too much work. The house we all loved put us in a multiple-bid situation, but the strategy she used made us the winning bid. Her negotiating skills are amazing! We are so happy in our first home and strongly urge others to take advantage of her knowledge!"
- Elmer and Irene"Not a day goes by that I haven't thought of Debbie with gratitude, appreciation, and affection. My brother left his home in a state of total disrepair and neglect. I live out-of-state so I wasn't able to be there to take care of things. A friend who had also used Debbie recommended her to me. Debbie worked her magic! In just a short time, she contacted her database of trusted investors, and I sold the property quickly after important documents and other belongings were removed. I hate paperwork (it scares the daylights out of me!). Debbie spent countless hours walking me through the pages of the contract line-be-line. Debbie is a rare find and I will always be grateful for her many personal and professional kindnesses towards me."
- Penny T."Debbie: I want to formally thank you one last time for the tremendous job you did in helping me sell the family home as I struggled to relocate my elderly mother to a retirement community. It had been some time since I had been involved in a real estate transaction and this was an eye-opening experience for me. I feel very fortunate to have been referred to you when I look back on how much effort went into the preparing for sale and ultimately marketing and selling our long-time family residence. I had no idea that specialization for relocating elderly, long-time owners even existed. I would find it impossible to believe that anyone could do a more exemplary job of this than you did. Your entire team of contractors, movers, estate sale manager. home inspector, etc. was delightful to work with. They were all consumate professionals who were sensitive to the fact that this was a very emotional event for my mother. I am extremely happy with the outcome and will always be grateful for your handling of this adventure. Sincerely,"
- Cory H."Compliments for Debbie Miller: Debbie has sold properties in Norhtern Virginia for me in the last 5 years. Once was a condo in Arlington and the other was a house in McLean. Both needed extensive cleanout and fix-up, something that would have been very difficult for me living 300 miles away. Debbie managed not only the sale of these properties but also their cleanout and fix-up. Her extensive contacts with contractors in the area were invaluable to me. She hired and managed to crewmen flawlessly, relieving me of the common nuisances of doing so. Her judgement about necessary changes and improvements was impeccable. In the end, both properties were beautiful for the intended markets. Debbie told us who the target markets would be for each property and then marketed the property to those buyers. Offers above list were received the first week on the market. I consider Debbie's performance above and beyond the call of duty for a Realtor. In short, I consider her performance fantastic!"
- Anonymous"Dear Debbie: I want to thank you for helping me with the "great transition" from independent living to "senior-style, having-things-done-for-you-living". Your experience and knowledge made it possible for me to accomplish my tasks with greater efficiency and with the least stress. Most helpful were the prioritize list of tasks, and your scheduling of competent, reasonably-prices workmen to make the house attractive to the buyer. This was a great contributor to my peace of mind. Because you so carefully scheduled everything and got my house looking good for the buyers, I was very pleased, too, that my final sales price was so far above the asking price. I wasn't expecting five offers but I was very glad to get a higher price since it meant that I would have more to live on. Sincerely,"
- Donna N."Debbie: We owe you our most heart-felt thanks for the fact that we are now residing in our new retirement community. Despite the fact that we were much too late in getting our house ready for listing, you provided us with expert guidance in identifying the final improvements needed on the house. Securing contractors who could respond effectively in a timely manner, arranging the final pre-listing cleanup, and the providing expert photography of the house's interior and exterior, selecting the best views, incorporating them into very attractive printed brochures and in much greater detail on the internet, and effectively staging and managing the whole process. You instantly followed up with interested prospects and their agents. You somehow managed to stay on top of every twist and turn in the buyer's progress through the various stages of the purchase. You made the initial arrangements with the movers and the final after-move clean up and provided a capable person to help in unpacking kitchen articles as the boxes arrived at our new home. You negotiated an extension for us with our retirement community to extend our move-in deadline by a week. We couldn't ask for anything more. For all of this exceptionally competent performance, we are deeply grateful."
- Harry and Elinor E."Dear Debbie: I want to formally thank you for the outstanding work you did on selling out home. You were recommended to us by friends already using you to sell their home. We trusted their advice, but this was still a big move for us. We had already purchased a home in Florida but were still living in our northern Virginia home. We wanted someone to entrust the sale of our house for the maximum we could get with the least amount of hassle. We wanted someone who knew our market and our neighborhood and understood the demographics of the prospective purchasers. We knew our house needed some "polishing" to make it marketable at its full potential. We wanted someone to make the necessary changes, but not too extravagant, nor too cheap, in approach. That someone was you. Your inspired confidence in us within the first five minutes of meeting with you. You made recommendations that were tailored to each part of our house's needs. We appreciated that you recommended a pre-sale inspection and targeted those items that are normally discovered during a buyer's inspection. When that inspection was done, we sailed through! Kathy and I moved to our new Florida home 1,000 miles away and left everything in your capable (and seemingly tireless) hands. Six weeks later, our home sold for more than asking! We appreciated the fact that we didn't have to do anything except say "Yes!" The return on investment from the work done was astounding! You and your team hit a home run! Everything went so smoothly, so quickly, so wonderfully, thank you Debbie!"
- Paul and Kathy L."I want to thank you again for the marvelous job you did in helping us sell our home so quickly. Selecting you to be our Realtor was the wisest thing we did in the entire process. You truly offer full service and were always there to handle questions and concerns. We've made a lot of moves over the years but never encountered a Realtor who came close to matching your skills and dedication. Thanks so much!"
