Working with Debbie Lawes to buy our investment condo was an absolute pleasure. Debbie has a phenomenal understanding of the rental market and is a powerhouse negotiator. She successfully lowered the final sale price and knew exactly which builder incentives to demand. What we appreciate most is her straightforward, honest attitude. Debbie gives you the raw pros and cons of every property, even telling us point-blank when a place was overpriced. She is incredibly punctual, flexible with scheduling, and highly proactive in sharing upcoming listings before they hit the market. Her service didn't stop at the contract; when we hit a major coverage gap with the builder's home insurance, she immediately connected us with an insurance agent who provided superior coverage at a competitive rate. Debbie seamlessly handles hurdles and truly protects your bottom line. We highly recommend Debbie Lawes!”

Debbie was extremely helpful with helping me find the right property. She had a wealth of knowledge about the market and the areas of interest, helped me secure a great deal on the property, and was a joy to spend time with all around. She did a great job communicating with me and the other parties which helped get this deal across the line.

We feel very fortunate to have worked with Debbie Lawes and highly recommend her — working with her was a delight. She was incredibly responsive throughout the entire process, always available by phone or text, even in the evenings and on weekends. She communicated clearly and patiently, making sure we felt informed and confident at every step. Not even our many detailed questions fazed her. Her market knowledge and experience were evident in the way she guided us on pricing and negotiations. She helped us think strategically about the right price point — competitive, yet protective of our interests — and advocated for us firmly throughout the process, both on price and on promised repairs, while remaining professional and constructive. What really sets Debbie apart is that she truly goes above and beyond for her clients. Her support didn’t stop at closing; she also helped us coordinate repairs and improvements, connecting us with trusted professionals for everything from handyman work to window coverings. She combines deep expertise, tireless advocacy, and unmatched responsiveness with a personal touch that makes you feel truly supported — and that made all the difference in our experience. We’re so grateful we had her on our side!

I had an excellent experience working with Judy. From the beginning her advising and organizing a refresh needed to prepare for my home sale. Judy did an amazing job on coordinating it all. What started out as a very smooth sale we had some issues presented involving my HOA association which she handled in a very smooth and professional manner to resolve them. She has an incredible knowledge in all aspects of selling a home. She was always right there and available to answer my questions and concerns and keeping me informed. I couldn't have been more pleased and excited when my escrow closed. I was very pleased and lucky to have worked with Judy.

To date, we have completed several transactions where Ingrid had represented us. She is extraordinary and an absolute professional and knows the real estate market well. 3 months ago, we put an offer on a home after a virtual visit with Ingrid - we were in Canada and Ingrid took us on a detailed tour of the home on FaceTime. We had the virtual visit on the first day, put in an offer on the second day and it was accepted before it was shown at an open house! Ingrid took great care of us and her attention to every detail through the inspections, closing and even after the close of escrow, she supported us through repairs and move-in. We were also very pleased that the final purchase price was well below the appraised value! It goes without saying that we are very appreciative of everything Ingrid has done to support us through what can sometimes be a stressful time. She covers all the bases! We are about to enter into another transaction with Ingrid at the helm. Her support and professionalism doesn’t change based on the size or complexity. That kind of integrity in the real estate world is so very appreciated! Thank you Ingrid!
