Debra was exceptional in the level of customer service she provided my husband, Andy, and I as we researched Sarasota. We were thinking of moving from Colorado to Sarasota and found Debra through a neighborhood search of places to live with tennis facilities. Debra went out of her way to help us. The most notable thing was the first day we met, we spent time talking and answering questions so Debra could get a feel for us as a couple, what we were looking for, what things on our list were most important. Prior to our visit to Sarasota in December she sent over a number of listings that met all or most of our criteria and really gave us a sense of what the neighborhoods were like. One of the homes Debra recommended was PERFECT! We saw a few homes before visiting the one we fell in love with, and when we walked in the door of our home we knew it was the one.Our home in CO had sold in September of 2017 with an extended closing timeframe up to end of April of 2018. We were concerned the sellers would not go for such a long timeframe before closing but Debra was able to work out the negotiations. Within 1 week we had an accepted contract!Between finding the house and closing Debra stayed in constant contact. She helped us find a firm to handle the closing, the inspector scheduling (and met the inspector at the home). She also helped the sellers with scheduling the few repairs needed so everything was in top shape for us.The list of additional things Debra helped with is lengthy-from helping us understand utility companies, to what to expect with the walk-through and closing, even recommending service providers for the pool, pest control, and cleaning service. Debra very clearly goes above and beyond to ensure all her clients have a successful, positive home buying experience. We are so happy we found Debra and that we can call her our first friend in Sarasota!

We are so pleased to say that Debra Pitell-Hauge helped us again for the 3rd time and every experience we have had has been wonderful and very professional. Debra does go over and beyond to help us as she always reviews our contract thoroughly, she even caught a mistake that the other realtor had made that would have jeopardized our deal. Again, Debra is a wonderful realtor and is a great asset to Michael Saunders & Company.

Larry and I want to thank you for your outstanding job in selling our home in Esplanade. When we asked you to list the property, we knew that you are a very dedicated, knowledgeable and professional Realtor, but you exceeded our expectations in every way. You were very proactive in your approach to letting the neighbors know that the home was available and very responsive when the Buyers expressed an interest in seeing the property. Throughout the process, you were thorough in guiding the parties so that the transaction went very smoothly and was completed to the satisfaction of both the Buyer and the Seller. Thank you for your help with the sale of our home. You were terrific!

Debra Pitell-Hauge was extremely helpful with the purchase of our new home, as well as assisting us with the sale of our previous one. She is very knowledgeable and guided us every step of the way. Debra made the whole process seem effortless, although I know she worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make it all come together perfectly! She was a delight to work with....very personable as well as professional. I would highly recommend Debra if you are considering buying or selling a home.

We wanted to thank you for the excellent job that you did for us in purchasing our new condo in Osprey. You seem to have an innate ability to zero in on the desires of people and what they want in property. You realized very quickly, that we wanted a quiet location, but with excellent views of the bay or gulf locations. This condo seems to fit our wishes very well and it took only about 3 or 4 days to make our choice. Not only did you show us the real estate possibilities, but also fine restaurants and shopping opportunities available in this area. We made our minds up in those 3 to 4 days to move here to replace our St. Croix house that we have loved for 21 years. Thanks so much for all of your help and expertise!

It is our pleasure to write this letter to tell you how pleased Doug and I were once again to have Debra Pitell-Hauge as our Realtor during the purchase of our new condominium. Her attention to detail as well as her knowledge and expertise of the current market assisted us in understanding what people in this area are looking for in a home. We are now in the process of remodeling our first unit and planning on having her list that once it is completed. She went above and beyond, especially in the purchase of our second condo, and we would certainly recommend her services to anyone that is interested in buying or selling a home. We are very happy with the excellent services she provided and look forward to possible future endeavors.

Just a note to let you know of our wonderful experience we had working with Debra Pitell-Hauge. We worked with Debra prior to coming in July over the phone and via email, looked at approximately 15 homes in 3 days on a world-wind trip down here and found the one! Debra was so easy and accommodating to work with, very knowledgeable of the area, what to look for in a home here in Florida and really worked with us within our budget. Her vast experience really shined through! She helped recommend a bank and also MSC Title for the closing. Again, we couldn't be more pleased with Debra and we are loving our new home in Bradenton!

It is not often that one encounters an individual that truly excels in their field and epitomizes true integrity and high principles. I cannot express enough accolades to tell you in what high esteem I hold Debra Pitell. I truly believe Debra is gifted in her ability to match the right property to the right person. She not only found the perfect home for me; she also found the perfect one for my daughter and her family. I can with complete confidence recommend her to any client as one of the best and most reliable realtors with whom I have had the pleasure of doing business.

Larry and I had the absolute sheer pleasure of working with Debra Pitell. It was only with her efforts that the home of our dreams became a reality for us. She put forth the utmost effort to help us get financing, giving us assurance and a “keep the faith” attitude throughout the entire process. She kept her eye on the ultimate goal – that being our pleasure and satisfaction of buying the home of our dreams as effortlessly as possible. We were awed at Debra’s thoroughness as we worked our way through this myriad of minutia necessary to complete this transaction.
