My sister and I recently purchased an investment property through Crawford Real Estate. The listing agent was Debra Thompson. It was at the open house we met Debra who was quite accommodating without being invasive. Once the decision was made to proceed with the purchase Debra allowed the process to continue to take its natural course. We should note that during our purchase we had issues with our lending facility. As frustrating at it is was someday's, due to our lender, Debra never created any extra stress. This is what we appreciated and admired most about her professionalism. We would be happy to purchase another property with Debra and Crawfords.

When these two ladies entered my life I did no what to expect. Between them they took a great weight from my shoulders. To understand this you have to know what had lead to this point. My Mother had to be placed in Aged Care this meant that her home had to be sold and cleaned out. As I am an only child this all fell to me. I also live over an hour drive away. I had been looking after my Mother for the last ten years and I also work five days a week. My husband was also very unwell at the same time. In comes Crawfords Real Estate. Debra and Maria made me feel that everything would be all right. As I had no idea where to begin Debra And Maria walked me through the process. This was very comforting as selling your family home is very stressful. Debra with her knowledge and kind heart helped getting together all the people that we needed to help us get the house ready for sale. This person is one of a kind. Maria knew just how to present my mums house to the housing market which meant all went smoothly and quickly. Such knowledge can only come from careing. To who ever reads this these two ladies are just the best at what they do and I would recommend to one and all.

Debra was very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. She kept us informed at all times and from our perspective the pre-sale, sale and transfer could not have been any easier.

Debra went much further than any agent I have ever dealt with. She organised everything that my family and I were unable to do. She had the house cleaned and the yard cleared by using her own contacts and did this in a short space of time. She sold the house within a week too. Her commitment to giving 110% was nothing short of amazing! I can not recommend this women highly enough.

After consulting with various Real Estate Agents around the location of our property, we choose Debra Thompson of Robert Crawford Real Estates. For us this was an easy choice as her approach to the overall procedure of selling our property was rational & genuine to the market and proved outstanding from beginning to end. We did not live anyway near the property we were selling & we also had the sad scenario of having our daughters ex boyfriend living in the house. Debra very kindly & sympathetically took on what could have been a very difficult situation & managed to keep all parties informed and happy. At the outset she advised us on a price scheme that was not only realistic to the market value but also had the capabilities to obtain a good result for us personally. The media coverage was perfect for the market we needed to attract & the weekly reports outlining the results from these sells approaches were easy to comprehend. Debra read the market perfectly & although we had a low early offer did not push us into any hasty decisions. She also went way out of her scope of works, to help use with the sell transition, for which we cannot thank her enough. We therefore would have no hesitation in recommending Debra to anyone thinking of buying or selling.

I recently purchased my first home through Debra and couldn't fault the service she provided me. Debra was extremely knowledgable and always willing to help me. She always made herself available to answer my questions, provided referrals for local building and pest inspectors and get me access to the property. It made a daunting process easy.

A pleasure to deal with.

I have recently sold 2 properties through Debra and I would highly recommend her to anyone considering selling a property in the Newcastle area. Her market appraisals were spot on and her advice throughout the process was invaluable. Deb went above and beyond in terms of arranging necessary work and dealing with tenants as I am located interstate and was not able to manage it myself. One property was sold in less than 24 hours thanks to Deb being available to take calls late at night and arrange inspections for the prospective buyer.
