"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!"

"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!"

"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!"

"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."
