Deborah Meiliken

"We had the pleasure of working with Debbie Meiliken on the sale of our home in New Rochelle, NY. From the very first meeting, we were very impressed with Debbie’s honesty, integrity, straight-forwardness and motivation. In addition, she was extremely hard-working, detail-oriented and responsive to us throughout the selling process. We felt that she was a real partner, with her continuous presence and attendance at all important meetings and appointments, and her immediate phone and e-mail responses. Debbie worked very diligently in preparing our listing. She brought in a professional stager to ensure that our home was properly prepared for showings, and then hired a highly talented photographer who produced gorgeous photos of our home. In addition to the attractive MLS listing, Debbie developed a dedicated website for our home, a beautiful brochure and business cards, and also went as far as working with a tax attorney to prepare an opinion letter regarding a potential property tax reduction for our home. She also sent mailing to neighbors, and used various other marketing tactics to increase exposure of our home. Following each showing, Debbie quickly followed up with potential buyers and their brokers, and obtained helpful feedback. She did an excellent job during the negotiations with those buyers who placed bids on our home. Finally, once an offer was accepted, she worked extremely hard to bring the deal to contract, including facilitating the house inspection, working out various issues, and communicating closely with all parties. We would strongly recommend Debbie to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home. We could not have asked for a more professional person to work with!"

"Debbie was tremendously helpful to us throughout the entire process of buying our new home. From the beginning, she spent a lot of time getting to know us and helped us figure out exactly what we were looking for. She only showed us houses that met our criteria, which helped us make the most out of our time. We were thrilled to purchase a home that has everything we need within our price range after only 3 trips. Debbie was not only fully informed about the houses she showed us and the surrounding neighborhoods, but she also went above and beyond by providing us with information about schools, commuter parking, childcare, taxes and anything else we asked her about. As first time home buyers who know nothing about suburbia, we had many questions and Debbie answered each one quickly and completely. She was a terrific resource to us and has done so much to ease the transition from Manhattan to Westchester for us. Debbie is knowledgeable, organized, hardworking, professional, readily available and responsive. On a personal level, Debbie is extremely easy to work with, friendly, honest and reliable. She truly cares for her clients and will do anything she can to help them."

"I am writing to give Debbie Meiliken my highest recommendation. She possess all the attributes necessary to be an excellent realtor. Debbie knows her market extremely well; she is very diligent, responsive, and yet very patient with her clients. Debbie clearly takes pride in her work and is both professional and personable. In my particular case as a seller of a home, there were many highs and lows throughout the journey. My father had recently passed away and I suddenly found myself having to put the house I grew up in on the market. Being an out-of-state seller caused me great concern and anxiety. Fortunately, Debbie's performance as my advocate was a true blessing and comfort. In addition to advertising and getting the word out about the house, she also gave great suggestions about modernizing and updating the house. A simple suggestion of changing all the outdated light fixtures made a tremendous difference. I was a bit unsure about spending money on staging the house per Debbie's recommendation but the change was remarkable. From start to finish, the home sold within 3 months. It would be hard to envision someone doing a better job than Debbie and I am more than satisfied with how everything turned out. I would not hesitate to recommend Debbie Meiliken as a realtor."

"Debbie helped us find a wonderful and unique home that was perfectly suited to our family’s needs and comfortably within our budget. She was a pleasure to work with, quickly figuring out what types of properties we liked—and possibly more important, what types we didn’t—so that we didn’t waste time looking at homes we would never love. We felt that Debbie always truly had our best interests at heart. For example, she thoroughly researched the houses we were interested in, laying out the benefits and drawbacks of the contenders and steering us away from problematic homes. And, unlike other realtors we had worked with previously, she never tried to convince us to push out the boat and take on more debt to finance a home we couldn’t really afford. Debbie was always readily available to answer our myriad of questions. Whenever we needed additional information, she quickly and efficiently directed us to other first-rate experts (such as lawyers and mortgage brokers) who could also provide smart and reliable advice. Equally important, Debbie was incredibly kind and supportive throughout our house-hunting process, making sure that we never got discouraged during those inevitable moments when we wondered if we would ever find the right home! She's a very warm and caring person with a great sense of humor, and she loves helping her clients. Not only does she know the property market inside and out, but she’s a real pleasure to be with. Since working with Debbie, I have recommended her to family members and friends and would enthusiastically recommend her to anybody who is looking for help buying or selling a property."
