Deb put us at ease and gave us confidence in her planned approach to present and sell our house.

We are aged 90 and 91 and our daughter suggested we should meet Deb Stephens to sell our house of 45 years. Our daughter met Deb when obtaining a valuation on her own home and felt confident Deb was a good fit for us because she communicates in a steady, clear and thoughtful manner and we would not feel overwhelmed. We are so glad we did meet Deb. She provided her plan and scheduled approach from the outset to achieve the best sale price possible in a short time frame, taking into account our financial commitments related to entering aged care. Deb maintained a laser like focus on the tasks to be completed by her and the family to prepare the house. She gave clear instructions, suggestions and support. The photo presentation of the home and property was beautiful and the written description was fantastic. Two open homes and 9 offers resulted in the highest offer contract signed in 7 days of the property going on the market. The sale price exceeded our expectations. The contract went unconditional the following week. We know Deb definitely was the best fit for us and the best person to sell our house.

Deb came very highly recommended. We weren't disappointed and she exceeded our expectations.

From the moment we met Deb we were impressed by her professionalism, confidence and her exceptional knowledge. This comes from her years of experience working in the industry. Deb is friendly, approachable and genuinely interested in achieving the best result for her clients. Deb communicates clearly and kept us well informed through the whole process. Deb advised and guided us through all the steps of selling our house from: the presentation of the property, the marketing campaign, the timing of open homes and the pricing range to ensure a speedy and successful sale of our property. We were only on the market six days after being listed. We appreciate her honest advice and tireless work in achieving us a great result.

Professional, Patient and Outstanding Results

We had an excellent experience working with Deb Stephens throughout the sale of our two newly completed townhouses at 35 Beaumont Road, Lenah Valley. Although the sales process took much longer than expected due to title-related delays outside anyone's control, Deb remained patient, professional and proactive throughout. She kept both us and the purchasers well informed, communicated exceptionally well, and worked tirelessly to achieve the best possible outcome for all. Her marketing, negotiation skills and attention to detail were outstanding, and we were delighted with the final sale prices. We would highly recommend Deb to anyone looking for an experienced, trustworthy and dedicated real estate agent in Hobart and the greater Hobart area.
