My fiancé and I could not recommend working with Debbie more!

She was so helpful to us as first time home buyers, guiding us through the process step by step and always available to answer any questions we may have had. She really listened to our needs and wants in a home and helped us find the perfect match! From the initial search to the negotiating process, through closing and beyond we could not have asked for a better person to work with. We will be recommending her to anyone we know on Long Island looking for a home!

I called Deb when a close friend, who had promised to sell my home when I was ready, told me she didn’t feel comfortable selling my home during Covid.

Deb called me back in 5 minutes and ran comps. She listed my home for $40k over the listing price my friend was going to and the house was sold close to that within 12 days! Deb is a treasure and knows how to sell homes! I would highly recommend her!

Debra Spector

Words can not describe how pleased I was to buy my first home through Deborah Berkman.

My only regret was that I had not met her sooner during the process. In 2012, I was a returning from a 7 month combat deployment in Afghanistan and all I wanted to do was buy a nice home in a quiet area. Unfortunately, the first real estate I worked with did not take me seriously at all, because I was only 21 years old. The second real-estate agent I worked with was not any better, and refused to show me homes even though I was pre-approved. Deborah Berkman was the third agent I worked with, and she will be the only agent I will ever work with now. She saw past my very young age and treated me no different than she treated her clients. She showed me homes that were well within the scope of what I was looking for and was prompt in returning her calls whenever I had a question about a home or paperwork. Deborah went above and beyond what was required of her, and even advocated on my behalf when underwriters gave me a difficult time securing a mortgage all because of my age. After a 5 month long battle of facing age discrimination from home sellers, agents, and underwriters, I was able to move into my home on October 22 2012, all because of Deborah Berkmans tireless efforts in making sure I was treated fairly by everybody. In March 2014, I was activated for a second combat deployment. And I needed to find tenants immediately to occupy my home in a very short notice. I called Deborah Berkman and within a week she had set me up with a tenant that was an absolute pleasure to work. Deborah made my second deployment significantly easier to deal with because I had confidence that the tenants that she found for me would treat my home with the utmost respect. I am looking to put my home for sale when I complete my renovations, and I will certaintly have Debby be my sellers agent when that day comes. I would absolutely recommend Deborah Berkmans services to anybody who is looking to buy a home.

Deborah is hands down the best real estate professional we have ever had the pleasure working with.

She knows the area she list in, and helped us get to finish line with as little heartache as possible. I would strongly recommend her as a selling and or buying agent. She will make selling or buying a home as easy as possible with your best interest in mind. Thank you Deborah for all the hard work you put into our deal!

What an exciting experience selling three homes with Debbie - we hit the trifecta!

All three homes sold over the market price, with bidding wars and offers to cancel open houses - unbelievable! Debbie was most helpful in everyway - she made suggestions on getting the first house ready, and after that I was an expert in staging the other two houses. Debbie has lots of resources at her fingertips and explained everything, assisted in getting any issues resolved from locating documents to getting repairs done quickly and efficiently. Recommend Debbie whether you are looking to buy or sell - she won't disappoint you.

Deborah Berkman is a caring, knowledgeable real estate professional.

She goes out of her way to do the best possible job for her clients. My first experience with her compassion came when I was interested in buying a vacation home in Florida. She connected me with a childhood friend of hers who was licensed in Florida and I successfully closed on the deal, with her checking up for me during the entire process. It is not often that you find a person who is unselfish when it comes to money! Next, I listed my home in St James, NY with her. She hired photographers, video photographers, and advertised the house widely. She gave advice on de cluttering and staging the house for the sale. She makes the client feel comfortable asking questions about any issues. She recommends movers as well as other invaluable resources. She is truly a wonderful, caring professional and an expert in her field!

"My experience with Deborah Berkman was just phenomenal. She is an extremely professional real estate agent who is knowledgeable, dependable, agreeable, reliable, compassionate, helpful, and more! You name it—- Debbie has it covered!! Debbie gave me advice prior to listing my house and tried to explain to me how to best stage it for the best possible outcome. I did her suggestions first, and then listed it with her. She made sure there was as little inconvenience to me as the seller as possible, as she brought potential clients through the house. Within one week I was in contract at 98% of my asking price!!! And oh—-and did I mention she was the one who suggested what price to list it at, based on her research and knowledge of the area and the market? She was right on target! Later Debbie help me find the correct professionals to have built-in units removed, and to find an extraordinary moving company who did my packing and loading. It was seamless, with Absolutely no glitches whatsoever! I asked for nice buyers and she brought me friendly, reliable, qualified and wonderful buyers! The closing was then so easy! You cannot go wrong with Debbie—-her expertise, valuable knowledge and experience will serve anybody well. I highly recommend Deborah Berkman over all the realtors I’ve dealt with previously on Long Island!! You will not be sorry!"
