Debra Orr - Testimonials

Thank God we got her as our realtor. We had a very long committed house shopping journey and I don't know how we could have done it without her. We got our beautiful home on the north shore of Long Island. We are very thankful for everything she is did for us. We really appreciate her and wish her all the best.

She negotiated a great deal each time and helped get us sell our home in under a week on the market to get us into our dream home. We recommend her to everyone.

We were looking for a house while we were expecting our first baby and Deb worked with us through the whole experience. She accommodated ALL of our preferences and found us the perfect house!

After a horrific year dealing with real estate agents, Debbie was a breath of fresh air. She was pleasant, efficient, and most importantly, not pushy. I met her by chance when I went to look at a home that I saw on line. At that meeting we discussed what I was looking for in a home and from that moment on Debbie was terrific. She knew what to look for and did not waste any of my time. In a few short months Debbie found me the perfect home and I cannot wait to move in! If you need a great real estate person, look no further, you found her in Debbie.

She went the extra mile in providing professional photographs and great advice prior to and during the period our home was on the market. After over a year with another agent you came in and in short order had us in contract. When the buyer had difficulty obtaining financing, you stepped in and helped them with arranging necessary mortgage funding where his own agent let him down. You even provided a translator when it became obvious that the buyer’s problems were related to language difficulties. Thank you for your kindness, strong work ethics, knowledge and diligence in helping us sell our house at a fair price in a most difficult market.

She is professional, caring and knows her business inside and out. She gets the job done and communicates with you all throughout the process. Highly recommended!

She was very sensitive to the difficult process of selling my mother's home. She was positive, realistic and consistently available to answer all the questions I had along the way. She contacted me frequently to ask if there was anything outside of the actual real estate process that I needed. Debbie is an excellent real estate agent and a very good person. I would recommend her to anyone without reservation.

Very organized and thoughtful, she added many of her own personal items and touches to showcase our home. She was in on every showing and helped other agents to understand the strengths of our location and house highlights. Our house sold quickly and we received a price we were happy with. I would recommend her to friends and family.

She’s smart, hardworking and resourceful. We had a great experience when selling my Dad’s house. She took care of everything, negotiated a great price and got us quickly and capably through closing. She’s my agent for life! Great job, Deb!

At our initial meetings she told us what to expect, and her advice was right on the money. The house was priced correctly, and we received multiple offers the first week it was listed. Debra gave us great referrals to professionals (painters, handymen, etc.) who helped us get the house ready to show. She is extremely hard working and intelligent. She also helped us find a new house that we will be moving to in July.

She is both extremely knowledgeable about the community and deeply invested in her clients. I highly recommend her if you are relocating to Long Island! She truly cares about what her clients want in a home/community and goes the extra mile to make sure process goes as smooth as possible. Even years later, if we ever have a question about something, Debbie is always happy to offer her expert advice. She is the best on Long Island!

School districts and a nice backyard were our two main must-haves, and Debbie did a wonderful job searching the market for exactly what we wanted. She quickly found dozens of listings that meet our criteria and personally walked us through half a dozen that we liked. The service was incredible. Communication was great. We had tons of questions, and Debbie answered everyone nearly instantaneously. When we found the one that felt like "home", Debbie made the negotiations painless and stress-free. We are incredibly happy with our new home and would highly recommend Debbie's services for anyone looking for a new home.

I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking to buy or sell property. She worked very hard preparing to get my house ready to be placed on the market. I was very pleased with how smooth everything went. I would definitely use her services again.

She was very knowledgeable of what needed to be done from start to finish. She guided me through the sale effortlessly. She kept me informed and answered all my questions when I needed them answered. She helped me stage the home beautifully and the first open house was magnificent. We got an offer right away and she sold the house on the very first showing. I was very impressed and very grateful to her Thank you Debbie now I can retire and fulfill my dreams.

We were very impressed with Debra and felt that she would go the extra mile. Well, not only did she go the extra mile...she went at least an extra 10 miles. Debra handled finding handymen, an exterminator, initiating and arranging a successful tax grievance, staging the house beautifully, etc. She even brought her boyfriend over a couple of times to help us move furniture and take care of some other things. They even made a run to Goodwill to drop off some donations for us. She kept us informed every step of the way. In late August, the house went on Multiple Listing. After getting 4 different offers and a minor bidding war, we accepted an offer for $1,000 more that list after 5 days! To say we were impressed with her level of professionalism would be an understatement. We cannot recommend Debra enough. She continues to offer to facilitate and help arrange for the final emptying and clean out of the house. Debra has made the whole process of selling as painless as possible and she has earned our gratitude."

She was responsive, always did what she said she would do, and always went above and beyond what was required of her to ensure the deal we wanted to close got closed. Excellent job. I highly recommend Debra."

She made herself available any time we wanted to go out and see a house, she answered all our questions in a timely fashion, and was very upfront and honest which is what we respected most. The seller, at times, became difficult but she handled it with true professionalism. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor who is truly on your side.

She has gone way above and beyond to help get my house ready to go on the market and ready to be sold. She knows her business and thinks outside the box. I wouldn't trust anyone else with the sale of my house and, eventually, the purchase of another!

They are going to closing already and my clients love her!!!

Most people end up being herded around by numerous agents to open houses and foreclosures that “fit” your criteria. Finding an agent today has become more like a game of musical chairs which will no doubt leave you exhausted and open to poor decision making when buying your home. And let’s not forget about the countless hours spend prepping on MLSLI which fells more like studying for a college mid-term. Enter Debbie Orr, a successful realtor with experience in the field. A local to Huntington and familiar with its surrounding towns she has the personal insight to help buyers find just the right home. I had the privilege of finding Debbie early on while looking for my first home. Even though I was not what you would call an ideal client as I work overnights and sleep during the day. If I wanted to see a home it was usually with an hour notice and I never had a problem. Debbie always accommodated my requests even if we did have to go back two or three times just to make sure. After searching, we sat down and discussed all the drawbacks, alternatives and potential involved and I walked away confident in my decision. In fact it was a great decision because I ended up buying my first home! It has been four months and things are just great. I never anticipated finding a home that fit me so well. I would like to thank Debbie for helping make everything possible. I really appreciate it.

We bought our house at the end of 2014. Through the process, Debbie was patient and truly listened to what we were looking for. She was attentive and since we weren't in a rush was extremely patient with us. We ended up looking at 2 houses in one day and we loved them both. We had a hard time deciding on which house to put in an offer. After we did decide, the process was seamless. Due to Debbie's expertise and her wonderful team, we were able to go through the contract process, etc very easily. We are still in our house and are completely happy with the decision we made a few years ago. We love Debbie and recommend her repeatedly to our friends.

She is passionate about her work and treats clients as if they are family. If you are looking to buy or sell your home Deb is without a doubt someone I would recommend!

Although we didn't have much interaction with her before the sale of the house, after the sale it was Debra who went out of her way to inform us of the necessity to apply for Basic Star Exemption that had a deadline. If it wasn't for her volunteering this information (not even being her client!), we would have missed a very substantial tax break this year. She became our "go to" person with regard to recommendations for professionals in the area, as well as being instantaneously responsive to all our emails and requests about the home buyers' experience. We became so comfortable with her warm responsiveness that recently I went back to Debra for assistance and advice about the real estate business, as I am considering pursuing a career in this field. She was so helpful that I offered my design/home staging services as a volunteer. We highly recommend Debra to anyone either purchasing or selling a home!

I was highly referred to her. She is very personable and puts my personal family needs first and foremost. She is not pushy and wants to find you the best fit in a property. I highly recommend Debbie. Thank you for all your help!

The service and personal attention we received from our Realtor, Debbie Orr, was welcoming and exceptional! She gave generously of her time, her knowledge and herself. Her knowledge of the local market and key contacts in the community helped us in our search for our dream home. Our search was a very long and exhausting one, but Debbie patiently went through each listing with us, and made sure we were getting the best value and amenities for our needs. Once we found our dream home but learned of some unconventional circumstances surrounding our purchase, Debbie guided us through the difficult process with a smile on her face. Her service does not end at the closing, as she has since become a good friend and neighbor. Regardless of whether you are buying or selling, we highly recommend Debbie to help you in this life changing move. We could not have asked for a better Realtor to lead us through our first home buying experience.

In a difficult and turbulent real estate market Debbie developed an extremely effective marketing plan, then executed it to perfection. We sold our home for very close to asking price, in only 3 weeks. Selling a home that has been in your family for decades is was an emotionally charged affair. Debbie always knew what to say and how to proceed in the negotiations. She did a wonderful job, for which my family and I will always be grateful! Highly recommended!!”

Given the challenges associated with selling during a pandemic, Debbie was really creative in her approach to marketing our home. We had a great experience and would strongly recommend Debbie to anyone considering selling their home on Long Island

We had to turn around and sell our home under a very tight window of opportunity. Debbie kept us informed every step of the way and walked us through the process step but step making sure we covered all the necessary bases so that the sale could be executed without incident. From the initial information gathered to setting up, staging, listing, open house and negotiations, she walked through every angle providing us with key points of information but at the same time allowed us to make the decisions that worked best for us. Up through the closing process, she kept the communication lines open touching base with all key parties to ensure there would be no issues or hiccups that would delay or hinder. I would highly recommend using her to any associate needing a skilled realtor".

She was very helpful throughout the process, from showing me multitudes of homes, being available to answer questions, providing guidance for negotiating with sellers, offering advice in all aspects, and more. She showed up to every milestone, even if it wasn't necessary for her to be there - the engineer's inspection, the final walk-through, the closing, & even when I just wanted to look at the house again to decide what colors I wanted to paint the walls. Debbie was always on time or even early to every appointment. She showed great communication skills throughout the process, being available by phone, email, & even text. I would recommend Debbie's services to anybody trying to find a home. Thanks again for all your help, Debbie!

I recommended Debra to a family member who was getting divorced and selling his house. Debra not only sold his house above asking price, but spent countless hours preparing the house for potential buyers. I can highly recommend Debra if you are looking to get your house sold quickly and for the highest price!!

Debra is very knowledgeable, has excellent suggestions to help the sale process move along. Within a day of our first open house we had multiple offers. I would recommend Debra to everyone as the best agent to work with to sell their house.

She was always willing and available to answer any and all of our questions and concerns. Debra has a great attitude and is personable and honest. One felt from the beginning that she would give us the service and care that we needed. She is a consummate professional.

I hired Debbie to sell my house and she performed at a level that is rare in the real estate business, honest, loyal and with integrity. I have recommended Debbie to my friends who are also selling their home....she gets results. Thanks Debbie!”

At our initial meeting, Debra explained the selling and buying process with such clarity and detail that we immediately retained her to represent us. She helped us to prepare our home for sale so effectively that it sold in less than a week for more than our asking price. This left us without a place to live, and we were facing a very thin market for available houses. From that point on, Debra made us feel like we were her only clients, working tirelessly to bring us into every property that was appropriate. She respected our desires and limits regarding the kind of house we were looking for and what we could afford to pay for it. She never got impatient or frustrated when, for one reason or another, we judged a property inadequate for our family. Rather, with ceaseless good energy and humor, she kept up the search, constantly assuring us that something would come along even when it seemed it wouldn’t. When we finally saw a house come onto the market that looked like it could be the one, she got us into it first, helped us make our offer immediately, negotiated a stressful bidding competition for the property, and steered us successfully to its purchase. It is not an exaggeration to say that the time she put into our relationship has transformed our lives. Our family loves our new home, and we are well aware of how fortunate we were to have Debra get us into it. You will not find a more skilled, professional agent in the area.

Orr is a professional who goes above and beyond, taking the special needs of individuals and families into consideration when selling a property. I recommended a close family friend to her when their mother had to be placed in care. Debra worked with the family every step of the way to make sure the property was ready for sale, helping them get the best price, and all the while being sensitive to the fact that this was a difficult time in the lives of these family members. My friends continue to thank me for having referred them to Debra and she remains a very special person to them.

Debbie always kept in contact with me, via phone, text or email about the status of properties I looked at and the ones I made offers on as well. As new properties became available she would reach out to me and let me know about them, providing very valuable counsel. I can only say this to prospective buyers or sellers of any kind of property, if you want an agent who is hard working, a formidable negotiator, and someone who knows the real estate business then Debbie should be your only choice.

You can really see the time and effort she puts into each and everyone making sure they are taken care of every step of the way. Its what makes her the best at what she does!

It’s like hiring a best friend who really knows what she’s doing, to take your hand and lead you through one of the most stressful transactions you will experience. Debra is smart, experienced, warm, compassionate, and clever. We had a challenging sales situation with our home, and Debra made everything work to a successful conclusion in much less time than we had feared. Our only sadness in selling the house was knowing that our reason for seeing Debra was going away. But we know for sure that when it’s time for another transaction, Debra will be there and will be back in our lives once again!

She is very professional and goes above and beyond for her clients. She makes you feel like family. She is hardworking, smart and very knowledgeable in what she does. She takes her job very seriously which makes her the best at what she does. I highly recommend Debra if you want to sell your house or buy a new home.

She was extremely helpful with the house hunting process. She was extremely knowledgeable and attentive. She listened to exactly what we were looking for and eventually we found the perfect home. We couldn't have done it without her!

(She downsized to a 1 bedroom condo). Debra and her partner came into the home and immediately saw the positive aspects about the 'bones' of the home despite the updating that most buyers would prefer to be done. Other realtors primarily focused on needed updates and the more negative points of the home. Debra provided guidance with staging and elements on how to optimally show the features of the home. The photographer they hired captured each room beautifully -to the point my mother even commented "wow, I really did live in a mansion". It gave potential buyers a fantastic vision of the house's potential and drew them in to tour the house. Within a week we received multiple offers and was in Contract within 10 days of listing. The sale price was above asking and we couldn't be happier with the results that Debra provided. For a results driven process with positive energy and helpful ideas I can highly recommend Debra and team.

She began her diligent work for us by pricing our home correctly without giving us expectations of grandeur but getting us full value for our property. Her industry and expertise continued with multiple showings and open house showings. Visiting realtors, knowing of her expertise, brought multiple clients/buyers to view our property. We received multiple offers for the property all within the proposed selling price she had originally suggested. Offers were made and accepted shortly after the original listing. Debra demonstrated a high level of expertise blended with professionalism and a great rapport with clients, other realtors and with us. We were in constant contact with her and were kept abreast of all actions. I have and would again highly recommend her and her firm to all.
