“My father was a life-long resident of the Bronx, but as he was getting older we talked about him selling his house and moving to Yonkers, where I lived, and purchasing something together. Deborah carefully walked my father through the process of selling the only house he had ever owned and did so with a great deal of understanding and sensitivity. Her expertise and recommendations were right on the mark as the house sold in the time frame she predicted and for the price my father wanted. She made the process hassle-free. Then, she worked diligently with us to find a house in Yonkers that would fit our needs. Once again, she made what is a difficult process feel easy and gave expert advice. When it came time to negotiate, she was able to achieve things I never thought she would. I never felt that she wasn't advocating for us as strongly as she could. And once again, everything was handled with patience and sensitivity to my father's needs and wants. I would recommend Deborah to anyone on any transaction. But in this two-part transaction that involved relocation, I thought her skills really came through."

"Deborah was great throughout the whole house shopping experience. She was extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of the process, and if she didn't have the answer she'd find it. As first time homebuyers, it seemed like a daunting task, but Deborah's experience kept us on track all the way to  closing. One of our favorite parts of working with Deborah was how quickly she responded to our questions and concerns"

Vincent and Jennifer A

"Smart. Focused. Talented. Committed. Professional. A broker's broker. From the start, she impressed. Her analysis of the market, staging, attention to detail, photographer's video compilation and bound brochures—and my goodness—her description of our home; all outstanding. The global reach of HL’s   social media campaign. An American banker, moving back to the States, flew from China to JFK, and took an Uber straight to Bronxville. Deborah, well supported by her assistant Jhoenny M. Gonzalez, worked hand-in-glove with the buyer’s HL broker (from a different office location) and carefully shepherded us through the back-and-forth and touch-and-go of the final negotiations. She recommended three different lawyers. We liked the first one we called. We were in contract in two weeks. The bank's appraisal was right on the money. We closed nine weeks later. Deborah never dropped the ball, never missed a beat. Always there. Proactive, one-step ahead. We experienced nothing like it. Deborah Valentino, Associate Real Estate Broker, Houlihan Lawrence"

"Deborah is the ONLY realtor you should be using. As first-time home buyers, she assisted my husband and I with every step of the process. She answered all of our questions, gave us her honest opinion, and took the time to explain things. Although there is a low inventory of houses in Westchester   County, Deborah gave us hope and came through!

Marcia T

"Deborah is an EXCEPTIONAL Realtor. She went above and beyond what I expected of her in getting my home sold.  She has many years experience/expertise and assisted with C of O issues before getting my home listed.

Cindy G

"I couldn't have chosen a better agent if I tried. Deborah was very professional, attentive and on top of everything. She made the process of selling our home easy. She told us everything to expect, how much we should get for our home and how fast our home should sell. We listened to her and her   suggestions and she was on point.  She goes above and beyond.  Deborah followed up on every showing with us and the potential buyers real estate. Our sale went very quickly and smooth. Deborah is extremely knowledgeable about the real estate market. What makes her especially stand out is that she truly cares about her clients. I would definitely recommend her if you are buying or selling."

Gina C

"I very much enjoyed working with Deborah on my transaction. She is extremely knowledgeable in the real estate industry. She is very honest and goes above and beyond of what is required. I highly recommend Deborah."

Julia T.

"Deborah is a very personable, friendly and professional agent. She was able to help us with the sale of our co-op. She has a great knowledge of the local market, market conditions and was able to help us set the top price for our co-op immediately. As a result we had an accepted offer 4 days after  we went on the market. She is really the professional's professional."

Stan M

"From the moment we started to discuss selling our property Debbie guided us even though it took us awhile to finally list. She was a wealth of knowledge and was available anytime we needed her. Debbie and her assistant were amazing at staging our house. This was not an easy task due to the fact  that we have three young children, yet Debbie was able to present our house in a way that would make anyone fall in love with it. She clearly has much experience with staging and could easily have her own HGTV show. Since we are not well versed in much of the language and intricacies of real estate, Debbie worked side by side with us on all aspects of filling out paperwork and put us in contact with professional people for every job needed. We never felt any pressure, and anytime we felt stressed out by the process Debbie was always able to put our minds at ease. We could not have worked with a better real estate agent!!"

Stephen B.

"From the moment Deborah took my first call, she was nothing but a professional. She never treated me like a client, though, as I always felt like it was a friend helping me out. Her knowledge of what to look for, what I needed to do to have myself ready to make my first purchase, and answering  any silly questions I might have were always in my best interest. Deborah was recommended to me by a few co-workers who had used her services before, and she came in high regards. To say she lived up to and surpassed them as well would only be an understatement. I would highly recommend her and her company's services to anyone, and if I ever need a realtor again, I won't have to think twice about who I will call."

Tim S.

"From the first minute Deborah came to our home she was beyond professional,courteous ,helpfully and knowledgeable. Her expertise along the way was invaluable,From arranging the photo shoot to marketing our home to arranging viewings and answering all our questions. I would highly recommend  Deborah(and already have done) to anyone,her knowledge and passion for the area and in particular our coop community is second to none."

Eileen & Thomas M.

Deb has helped me sell my apartment, buy my house and sell my parents' house. She is incredibly dedicated to her clients and truly goes above and beyond. Our deals were not straight-forward and Deb handled each challenge with ease. She is clearly passionate about real estate and what is in the best  interest of her clients. I could not recommend Deb more highly.

Susan C.

"A family friend recommended Debbie, who proved to be an outstanding realtor. She guided us thru every stage of the process. As a result we went smoothly from listing, showing, contract, and closing in under two months. Debbie was easy to work with, always available, and offered great suggestions  based on her 25 plus years of experience. Thank you Debbie. We could not be more pleased with your services."

George & Rose Y.

"From the first exploratory meeting to the closing (and even after that) my experience with Deborah Valentino has been super. She brings knowledge, experience, energy, and a lot of moxie and common sense to the daunting experience of selling a house. No request is too small and no challenge is to  great for Deborah to face and handle with diligence and dispatch. What could have been an unpleasant experience turned into one which was seamless and smooth. Many thanks, Deborah!!"

Catherine H.

“Deborah did an amazing job with our home purchase. She helped us navigate the extremely stressful current housing market. Debbie is an expert on all the local towns, and if she didn't have an immediate answer to our questions, she would find out. She is available all hours and made us feel like we were her only clients. From finding the right neighborhood, to figuring out the exact right offer price in a bidding war, Debbie was there for us. I would recommend her to anyone.”

Kristen & Mike

“I had an excellent experience with Deborah. She set as a target a high asking price which we almost obtained in less than 45 days on the market. In addition we were able to close about 30 days afterwards. She has a great understanding of the process and how to reach a successful conclusion”

Phillip B

"We have the experience of selling our first home with Deborah Valentino. It was for us very difficult decision to select the best realtor for selling our house. We interviewed six realtors and decided for Deborah. She is very knowledge about what we needed to do in order to sell our house fast and to the best value. We were very happy with her job. She helped us all the time in the process and made us feel that we're in good hands. We recommend her as the best realtor."

Violeta K

“Deborah was fantastic from the first phone call through the closing. She was attentive to our needs and the needs of our tenants. She provided us with all the answers to our questions and guided us through the whole selling process.” 

Eileen & Jerome M.

"As stressful as buying a home is, having Deborah as my Realtor was like having my sister helping me look with the expertise of a seasoned veteran; and the honesty only a family member will give.. Deborah was always available, answered all my questions, and never ignored any of my calls or texts. Always up to date with new houses on the market. Love her honesty and dedication. Thank you Deb."

Dear Debbie,

Liz & Brian.

"It was a pleasure working with Deborah throughout the entire purchasing process! From the moment I stepped foot inside my new home, she could tell it was meant to be my property, and she worked tirelessly to make sure that it happened. Deborah was very knowledgeable about the process of purchasing a Co-Op. She assisted me with every piece of paper that was put in front of me. Additionally, Deborah made sure that I had a strong and complete package prepared for submission to the Co-Op Board. It was very important to Deborah that the Board was able to see what a qualified candidate I was. Additionally, Deborah was invaluable in terms of her knowledge of surrounding Co-Ops and how they compared to the Co-Op I was buying. She was available to me at all times of the day, and if she didn't have an answer to a question, she found out the answer very quickly. Most importantly, Deborah made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. As a first time buyer, I was quite nervous about the process. Deborah made it clear to me that she would not push me into making any decision I was not comfortable with. From her negotiation technique to her attention to detail on our final walk-through, Deborah's first priority was my level of comfort with everything. I highly recommend Deborah Valentino!"

Dear Debbie,

Anthony & Sandra.

“My experience with Deborah was very professional, easy going and stress free. During this time she has given us so much advice, which has helped us to make decisions easily, quickly and comfortably. Deborah is amazing at what she does and will continue to use her in the future. The professional pictures were amazing, all because of her knowledge and training in Home Staging. I highly recommend her to my family and friends” 

Maria K

“The only way to describe Deborah is "simply the best". From the first time we met her we knew we had to work with her. Her professionalism, throughness, knowledge and very genuine approach engaged us immediately. Once we decided to proceed in listing our home, she was there to guide us on appropriate listing cost, timing and what our end goals were for the sale. Being in a visual industry ourselves, we were very impressed with the staging, images/visual tour and brochures Deborah put together to represent our home.

Brittany S

“Deborah Valentino was the best!  The process of selling and buying a home is not an easy process to begin with. However Deborah made the process flow smoothly. Any question I had was answered quickly and no question was too silly. She was there through the entire process for both sales and never tired when we went looking for my new home. She was honest, trustworthy and I couldn't ask for a better real estate agent. I would recommend Deborah without hesitation” 

Norma P

Debbie's expertise is invaluable to any corporation. She is extremely knowledgeable, timely, effective, and efficient. She holds high standards despite how large the sale is. She handles it with integrity and consideration. Her efforts are acknowledged and very much valued.

Nidia L.

“I honestly don’t know where to start. Deborah not only helped us find our dream home but answered every question we had on the listing of our home (we eventually decided not to sell but to rent). She had my previous home appraised, checked the city survey, and had an architect come to see what items needed to be addressed. It was a hard decision but we wound up not listing our home. After all of the work Deborah had already done we felt bad she did so much only for us to change our mind last minute. She not only took it extremely professional she praised us on a well thought out plan. My wife and I were extremely impressed. After a month of looking at homes (online and with open houses) we fell in love with a home that was represented by another Houlihans agent. We reached out to Deborah and she made it happen for us. From directing us to an attorney to finding us several different bankers she quite literally held our hand throughout the entire purchase process. With her years of experience she was able to find out the home was over assessed. Deborah is an absolute godsend! My family and I cannot thank her enough.”

Wing & Wein.

“Deb worked with me for the purchase of my first home.  Immediately following our first conversation, she went above and beyond to help guide me through the process by providing me with a variety of listings to choose from.  I had the opportunity to see numerous properties in each and every one of   the prospective towns I had expressed an interest in.  Deb provided detailed information about each listing, and even gave helpful suggestions about things to do in the surrounding area.  She made me feel both confident and comfortable moving forward in each step of the process, which ultimately led to finding exactly what I was looking for.  I could not have asked for a better experience purchasing my first home, and am thankful for the opportunity to have worked with De”

Michael R

“Debby is an absolute pleasure to work with. Her extensive knowledge in the field was evident as she guided us in finding the perfect home. Debby was available whenever we needed her to answer questions, provide information, and was very diligent when it came to following up with any concerns we  shared. The purchase of our new home went smoothly and it was all thanks to Debby and all of her hard work. We highly recommend Debby for the purchase of your new home and/or your listing of your home.” 

Stephanie P

"I want to thank you for doing a fabulous job with the sale of my home.  Honestly, I don’t think another realtor around could have done a better job than you. Due to an absentee selling agent, if it wasn’t for you, we would have NEVER closed.  You were on top of everything.  You made sure the home inspection and appraisal was done in a timely manner.  Always going over and above on all measures.

Ernesto T

Thank you Deb for helping me find the perfect place for me. Working with you was like working with a friend who enthusiastically joined my search and would not stop until we got it right! Your knowledge and experience helped me through the process, I am so happy in my new spot and I have you to thank.

Kristin
