Testimonials:

 I am happy to give the highest recommendation for Debbie Holmes as my realtor.

Debbie is patient, kind, funny, understanding, smart, AND gets the job done very professionally.  She was very responsive to my phone calls, texts, e-mail’s—patiently saying that selling a house is s big deal for most people, and fairly stressful.

Debbie did a great job for me.  We signed our realtor paperwork on Feb. 13, and closed May 16—yes, just over 3 months in Downeast Maine—with Debbie showing the house in the snow and cold.  She easily and professionally discusses the details of price, how best to show the house, comparables, going into contract, etc.  The 3D virtual tour she recorded was spot on, and pretty much sold the house.  The 4 people who came to see the house saw this 3D tour and more good pictures online first.  We didn’t even put a sign in the yard (snowbanks).  My neighbor who comes for the summer, was impressed by the booklet of info on the house being for sale that was mailed to her.

I will actually miss Debbie, as I am moving out of state.  Again, I highly recommend her.  (And my dog really likes her!  Best recommendation...)

We recently purchased land on Jim's Head in Lubec, ME. Debbie made the whole process go smoothly and helped us greatly as first time land buyers. She was very professional and supportive the whole time. We give her 5 stars in every way and she made us feel as if we were the most important customer she had.

She is a tremendous asset to your company.
