Why Work With Us?

“Thank you so much for all of your hard work. We are delighted with the outcome. “We had no idea how to start the process – and we are so grateful for your guidance and patience. "Debby, you are a true professional. “We are grateful to have you as our Realtor and friend.”

"A big official thank you, Debby, for all your help! Your thoroughness, handholding, proactiveness, professionalism, resources, contacts and more all were much appreciated!"

“They say that moving is one of the most challenging experiences in life, but it doesn’t have to be if Debby Belt is your Realtor. Even during a global pandemic, Debby made the process feel seamless and even enjoyable. “From the moment we started looking at homes, Debby’s calm, easy going manner made the process less stressful. She never once tried to influence our decision or pressure us to make an offer. Debby made it clear that we were never wasting her time no matter what our timeline was or how many homes we wanted to tour. Even if we wanted to look at a home that was not within our target area solely for the sake of comparison, she was always eager to accommodate us even though it was somewhat complicated to coordinate home tours during the time of Covid when everything was appointment only with limited access. “When we did find our new home, Debby worked tirelessly to make sure that we not only got a fair price but that all points of negotiation were resolved fairly and as advantageously as possible. “After our experience purchasing a new home with Debby, we couldn’t think of selling our home with anyone but Debby. During the sale of our home, her attention to detail made all the difference in how we marketed our home. She worked diligently in advance of our showings so that there would be the absolute minimum disruption to our family. Throughout every inspection, meeting, and purchaser visit, Debby showed up promptly and was always pleasant and gracious. “She understands that the process can be fraught with emotion and she does her best to alleviate any avoidable angst for her clients, from helping provide resources to being available 24/7. Even long after we have moved into our new home, she gladly has remained a resource to us at all times and she remembers critical information about our new home that even we have forgotten. “We have a beautiful new home and the only part that is bittersweet is that we don’t get to see Debby as much as we would like.”

“Even before signing the contract, we felt like Debby was working with us to present our home in the best light. She had pictures taken and didn’t miss a beat when we put off our desire to sell until the next season. She was thorough, thoughtful, and answered all of our questions through the contract and pre-sale process. Once we had our offers is where Debby really shone. She took the emotion out of the process, advised us the whole way through, and very successfully helped us navigate a multiple-offer situation.”

“Debby was everything we could want in a real estate agent; knowledgeable, always available, and professional. She guided us in the sale of our home in which we had lived for 47 years. She knew the market and how to present our property for the greatest market impact. Our house sold in 5 days, and over-asking! “Her list of resources, be it an attorney, electrician, painter, or someone to haul away our unwanted things eased our transition.”

“We had the pleasure of working with Debby for a local move within Waban. Debby worked with us patiently for over 2 years to find a home that was perfect for us, while simultaneously preparing us to list our house once we found something. She never pushed a property, but when we found the house we wanted, she knew exactly how to present the most attractive offer. She knows the local market inside and out, which was helpful on both the buy side and the sell side. I cannot imagine buying in this competitive market without Debby's insight. “On the sell side, she managed multiple offers over asking price to find the best buyer. Her tips on how to best present our house, such as taking photographs while outdoor landscaping was at its peak, helped maximize value on that transaction. We truly felt like we won on both the buy and the sell!”

“I am so glad that you agreed to represent my mom in the sale of her Chestnut Hill condo. I was aware that you were a top selling Realtor and knew first-hand how incredibly organized you are from your days as Angier PTO President, but what I didn’t fully understand was how your kindness would make what could have been an awful process as stress free as possible. Having just lost my father, and for my mom, her husband, we were taking a step that for all of my mom’s married life, my dad would have handled. You took the time to make my mom feel comfortable with you (I already was), you patiently explained all market considerations when listing the property and negotiating offer, and you always addressed the emotional side of the transaction, so that my mom felt good. You were also masterful at navigating a mother daughter relationship when having to deal with both my mom and me, which is no easy feat! “Now for the details. The market research you did was comprehensive. Your advice how to prepare and stage the condo for the sale were spot on. Your referrals for completing the work were ALL exceptional. The marketing materials you prepared for the sale were professional and put the best light on the condo. And your negotiating skills were just the right touch to get the deal done. And finally, you never rested until the closing. You paid attention to every detail, you communicated with us constantly, and you sent us written instructions every step of the sale up, until the closing, which kept us organized. In a word, you were AMAZING. “Thank you again for your professionalism and kindness. I will enthusiastically recommend you to anyone I know looking to buy or sell in the Newton area!”

"We are very grateful to have engaged Debby in our search for a home for our young family. Debby was incredibly responsive to any question and made herself available to join us with every listing we wanted to see. In this extremely competitive environment for buyers, Debby guided us with honest and helpful insights. Her expertise was so critical as we were looking at homes for the first time and didn't know exactly what we were looking for. Debby did not pressure us at any point and walked us through every detail and educated us on how to make thoughtful offers. We ultimately had an offer accepted on a home that we are very excited about and feel confident that our purchase price was appropriate -- and Debby was there every step of the way. “Debby has a vast network of bankers, attorneys, inspectors, contractors, and more that she introduced us to during the closing process. We continue to be in touch with Debby as she is a phenomenal resource and even better person! Thank you, Debby, we look forward to seeing you around Town!"

“Our experience working with Debby was extraordinary! We lived in our home for over 25 years and Debby provided patient, non-pressured perspective leading up to our decision to sell. Once we gave her the green light to list our home she was incredibly proactive at every stage: She helped us see our home as buyers would so that we could get ahead of enhancing both its strengths and weaknesses; she provided concrete advice and referrals in connection with cleaning up and getting our house ready for sale; she thoughtfully and carefully prepared comps and walked us through the various strategic and tactical considerations of pricing - yet let us establish an asking price with which we could feel comfortable; she staged the house in a manner that would present the ‘story’ of the home; she aggressively pre-marketed our home to her wide and deep network of agents, developers, and buyers; she held our hand through the tense offer/acceptance stage; she monitored the legal and financial services aspects of the sale so that no time would be wasted prior to closing; and she kept us, the buyers, and the other professionals involved calm, cooperative, friendly, and measured. “Her work was a tour de force, and her high character, integrity, and honesty were evident in every aspect of the sale. We are, and will forever be, incredibly grateful to Debby and offer our unqualified and highest recommendation.”
