I was moving to an area I was not familiar with and Debbie was great in helping me find and house and staying on top of everything that was needed, especially because it was my first time buying a home. She was there for me whenever I had a question or needed help and was truly phenomenal and helped me in more ways than I could have hoped! Thank you Debbie!
