We thought you should know about our EXCEPTIONAL experience with Deborah O' Mara while purchasing a home in Lakewood Ranch. If there is one word that would describe Deborah it would be "FANTASTIC", but there is no way you can describe Deborah with just one word. So here goes— she is highly Professional, Intelligent, Experienced, Personable, Meticulous, Energetic and Responsive (almost 24/7). We have never experienced such a commitment to customer service as Deborah provides. She really listens to and hears all your requirements and wants, and then goes out to find the perfect home for you. Since we were long distance buyers, Deborah made this sometimes stressful process very enjoyable for us. There is nothing better than working with an oustanding Realtor that really knows her business inside and out. Because she is an expert in Lakewood Ranch, Deborah exudes a confidence and expertise that makes buyers like us have full faith in her that she will do the best for us and SHE DID. In addition, Deborah is backed up by a truly great and responsive full service real estate organization at Michael Saunders & Company. A huge Thank You to Deb O' Mara for everything you did.
My father-in-law recently passed away and has a home in Lakewood Ranch. We have been tasked with closing out his estate which includes selling his home. Since we live up in Lutz, FL, we knew finding the right agent was going to be critical to a successful sale. After doing some research on the sale history of his home, Deb's name started coming up as having sold it and as we did a bit of research on Deb's successful real estate career, we felt that we had found the perfect person for a reason. Fast forward to meeting her the first time, we absolutely knew without a doubt that we would be listing with her. Not being from the area, she has been a Godsend helping us find contractors to do some repairs to the home before we were going to list it. We are thrilled to say, we were under contract before it even hit the market. So much of the success of this is based on Deb's experience and expertise on how to bring max potential to the sale. She has been thorough, patient, focused and very, very honest with us through this process. I am happy to say the official closing is tomorrow and we would not be at this point were it not for Deb. Please thank her and congratulations on having such an amazing person on your team. I will absolutely be recommending her and your agency every opportunity I have to family and friends local to the area.
It would be remiss of us if we didn’t pass along how incredibly pleased we were with Deb OMara’s professionalism as a realtor. She always went above and beyond. She was our third realtor and we should have chosen her from the beginning. She definitely got the job done. We were confident after hiring her that if she couldn’t sell our Watercrest property, no one could??It has been a pleasure working with her. Best,Apres & Jay McLaughlin
