"My experience with Debbie Rybka Howard was outstanding. Debbie is extremely knowledgeable of the local area and also the broader perspective and impact of economic conditions, and she has a keen macro view of the real estate market and great sense of timing. She was impressive start to finish. Her initial assessment of the value of my home was spot on. She worked hard to perfectly position my home in terms of staging, marketing, photography and communication efforts at all levels to premier my home on the market. As a result my home sold quickly and I was very pleased with the deal she negotiated for me and my buyer. Once in contract, and all the way thru, until my move her service level was masterful. I can honestly say I have never experienced this level of skill, commitment and personal engagement from a realtor during the sale of a home. I not only consider her the best realtor i have ever bet, but also a lifetime friend!"

"Debbie is absolutely phenomenal. She knows the ins and outs of the home buying process and is always available for helpful information. She helps find your home, negotiate the best price, get all necessary inspections, and get in touch with great loan specialists. Her team is also great and they all make the process incredibly easy."

"It is virtually impossible to touch on each way Debbie and her team helped my 94 yr old Mom sell her home. We were faced with numerous health and personal issues that prevented me from making small suggested changes to improve the salability of Mom's home. Debbie guided me gently through the entire process from sprucing to staging and ultimate cleanout. I never felt stressed. I never could have worked through the process "

"Selling a house is the most stressful experience, many things happened to add more obstacles. I had a lot of work to do, besides working long hours, so I relied heavily on Debbie to take the lead in many aspects of the preparation and sale. She was very responsive and creatively helped to address each of the challenges from beginning to end of the process. She is well connected with a family of service providers that we could choose or not. I chose to use all of them and to follow Debbie's advice as much as possible, thinking it would help the process go smoother, and it absolutely did... The project came together very quickly. Our house was on the market less than a week and sold for more than the asking price. Then she helped us to buy our next house, with good insight and skillful negotiation. I would not want to sell a house without Debbie. Her years of experience really shows. She is also truly a good person and I appreciate her integrity."

"Debbie is simply the best of the best. She’s an old fashioned good mannered, highly principled and deeply kind person. If you’re looking for someone who is sincere, well educated in current real estate rules and practices, who takes the time to understand your situation (downsizing, pregnant and need more bedrooms, newly divorced;) and who has a network of contractors, inspectors, lawyers, bankers, painters, plumbers that trust and listen to her advice; then call her first. With her I’ve sold two homes and bought two homes. Truth be told, selling your home is difficult and finding a home is difficult. But it is at certain heightened stressed touch points (eg. 1 week before your open house, weekend of incoming bids, lawyer contract details, time between inspections and final walk through) where Debbie’s superb skill set really shines bright. At these times, you know that your home, and your upcoming entire life style change, are in the hands of a high end professional."

"Debbie Rybka-Howard came highly recommend from a good friend who was herself a successful realtor but had moved out of state. Debbie gave us expert advice on how to prepare our house to get the most of out of our old home. She was spot-on with pricing, which was based on all her and her team's  market and intimate knowledge of the area. The open houses were well-publicized and attended. Our house was under contract after the first weekend on the market! Throughout our experience, Debbie and her team was supportive, patient, and personable. For these reasons, in addition to generating multiple generous offers, we can strongly recommend her services."

"I am so grateful Debbie was recommended to me! Selling your home can be stressful, but Debbie was able to ease all my concerns. She was very knowledgeable about the area, attentive to my needs and had long-term relationships with other professionals (stagers, painters, electricians, attorneys, etc.) who were also excellent. My home sold in under one week with multiple offers over asking price. (Here is an example of how involved she stayed during the whole process: We had a snowstorm overnight and showings were scheduled that morning. Debbie was at my home at 7:30 AM to help shovel the driveway! Ever heard of a realtor doing that?) I totally recommend Debbie Rybka Howard without reservation."

"Primary point of contact: Christine Lassiter There are no words to express how stressful purchasing a home can be but everyone in Debbie's group was wonderful. Christine Lassiter was amazing and I am thankful for her prompt responses, knowledge and willingness to help. She made several referrals that were also right on target. I would  highly recommend them to anyone searching for their future home! We are extremely happy in our new home! Thanks a million to all who made our home purchase possible. You all not only so professional but so caring. Keep up the great work!"

"We would highly, highly recommend any homeowners contemplating selling their homes to meet with Debbie and Christine. To be honest, we didn't know them prior to our first meeting; however, when we first met with them, it was clear they were extremely professional and talented, and, now with hindsight, they clearly had our best interest at heart. They have an impressive network of associates to help prepare, stage, and move the house, and took a very deliberate and thoughtful plan on how to approach the transaction. We had plenty of friends that were realtors - but this was the right choice. And, importantly, even when the sale (way above asking by the way) was completed, they continued to check in with us to see how we were doing (and if they could be of any help) on the next stage of our house transaction. Bottom line - they are absolutely the best - and we'd be happy to attest to that in person."

"Primary point of contact: Christine Lassiter Christine Lassiter (part of Debbie’s team) has completed three separate closings with us and she is an absolute dream to work with. If you want an agent that will guide you through the process every step of the way, who is on top of each task to meet your deadlines and will work you night and day  to make sure that the sales go smoothly, then Christine and her team are who you want to work with. The team go above and beyond their roles to make sure you are taken care of every step of the way, eliminating stress and providing so much support. I would highly recommend Christine and the Debbie Rybka-Howard team to anyone moving or selling in the area."

"THIS IS A TEAM OF ALL-STARS! We first met with Christine Lassiter to get a feeling for the market. We did not plan on selling until later in the summer. But with the guidance of Christine and Debbie, we decided to take advantage of the current market. They gave us a to-do list which we got started on right away using their list of recommended vendors for touching up and fixing where needed. We also followed their advice to stage the house and were amazed at what their stagers, Rod and John, did using what we had supplemented with items from their own bag of tricks. The house looked amazing and sold before even officially hitting the market for substantially over asking. We were very happy. You can't go wrong with this team!"

"Pooja was an absolute pleasure to work with. She stuck with us through thick and thin in the highly competitive local real estate market and she worked very hard on our behalf to get us a home we loved. She is knowledgeable on the local market, got to know our preferences and showed us appropriate homes that suited our needs. She was quite responsive, always available by phone, and a true ally in seeing us through the process from beginning to end. We would definitely highly recommend her!"

"I am not a resident of the area but needed a smart & savvy realtor to navigate a very difficult and unpleasant real estate transaction. Just by pure luck and the grace of God, Debbie Rybka Howard dropped into my lap. A lot of people in Debbie's field overpromise and underdeliver, however Debbie has withstood the test of time and backs up her impressive resume with results. Everything she said she would do, she did. The sale of my property couldn't and wouldn't have been accomplished without someone as focused and seasoned as Debbie is. Despite the complexity of my situation, she had a plan and executed it to perfection. When obstacles arose, (which there were many) she pivoted in a way that only someone highly experienced and successful could do. Debbie has a wonderful disposition and portrays a level of confidence that is only seen in a highly successful realtor. She talked the talk and walked the walk, and we can't thank her enough for a job well done. Thank you again Debbie! "

"Pooja had been instrumental in helping us find our forever home. She was always patient with us and she was always there to guide us to ensure we were fully informed at every turn. More importantly, Pooja always made us feel that we could trust her. She never left us as she was always there at every step of the way from making the offer to the offer being accepted to inspection to final walkthrough to closing. We appreciated all that Pooja had done for us and she is truly a very special person. She made us feel like we were her friends, not just her clients. Pooja is the person you would want to work with if you are looking for a home. We are thankful for everything she has done for us."

"Debbie and her team are incredible!! Debbie found me a house on short notice that would accommodate my Great Dane. We loved the house. Years later. Four to be exact, when I need help again, she and her team jumped right in and helped me. They are incredible."

"Susan Lugashi and Christine Lassiter were an absolute pleasure to work with during our home-buying search. We looked for months for a house that ticked all of our boxes, and Suzy and Christine were so patient with us, offered helpful suggestions and explored all options with us. Once we did settle on a home, their expertise was invaluable during the inspection/closing process. We needed a few referrals along the way and everyone they said suggested were so professional and lovely to work with. Even after we closed on the house they made sure we were all setup and made themselves available to us in case we needed anything. I couldn't recommend working with them enough!"

  -JustineStasik, Client

"We were fortunate to work with Debbie on both the sale of our existing home and the purchase of our future home. Lots of agents can help to buy or sell real estate. Debbie was so much more than that for us. Debbie helped us to find a "home". She also helped to sell our pre-existing to a family also looking for a "home". It takes experience and a special someone to know the difference. Selling and buying a homes can be stressful but having Debbie and her team to hold our hand thru the process was our best decision overall!"

"My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed working with Debbie. Debbie has been responsive and excellent since the first phone call and made our home selling process easy and smooth (even when we were in the process of relocating to another country!) We interviewed different realtors and none of them compared with her professionalism, enthusiasm, knowledge and candid spirit. She anticipated needs and met them all with a smile on her face and expert advice. Debbie was extremely helpful, open, transparent, and reliable through the whole process. She really cared about us (and our pups), and was always available to answer our questions and guide us thru the selling process. Debbie came with a plan and executed it perfectly from listing the house to closing in about 45 days! We received over 20 offers, all on/over asking price. Debbie has been an absolute pleasure to work with and highly recommend her and her team."
