Deborah's professionalism - always with the personal touch - her communication skills and her unending work for and service to each of her buyers and sellers is truly exceptional. Even though the house I was selling and especially the condo I bought were far below her million-plus dollar properties, I feel I got the same exact service and commitment from her.Be assured that I will give the highest recommendation to all my friends for both Michael Saunders and Deborah O'Mara. BRAVA!!
As we do not currently live in Florida and are not that familiar with the area we worked with Deb for a few months by email and a few times over the phone. We found her to be patient, very informative, confident in her knowledge of the Real Estate market, and very approachable. With Deb's knowledge and expertise in this area, our complete confidence and trust in her grew very quickly. We feel like we purchased a beautiful new home in Florida. We can not imagine an experience with a Real Estate professional to be any better than the experience we had working with Deb.We will always highly recommend Deb O'Mara to anyone looking for a home in the area.
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.
