Debbie & Larry, When we first met in the interview to determine who I wanted as an agent it was apparent that the two of you were going to be a positive force for me to work and provide the services I needed. As it turned out you went above and beyond on all the challenges we encountered in the process of preparing my home for sale. I could never have done it without you - you jumped through hoops for me and I cannot thank you enough. THANK YOU -Sharon V.

"The Pappas-Burback Team is absolutely wonderful to work with. It’s like having a friend on the “inside” that is working for you. They really care about their clients as well as the community.
We were selling our beautiful home in Naples FL to purchase and move into a condo in Maryland. We started to work with the Pappas-Burback Team when our previous cash-buyer pulled out at the last minute. So when we were left scrambling to find a new buyer, a friend recommended Debbie Pappas-Burback; so we listed our home with her through Compass; and let me tell you, she came through for us BIG TIME!
Debbie’s team came by and took gorgeous photos, video (with aerial drone footage) and created a super classy sale video/brochure for the property. It felt almost immediate when they started doing open houses at our home. Initially we were very nervous about losing the property in Maryland but thankfully listing the house with Debbie and her team, we were in contract in 17 days!!! Amazing!

 I write this now in my new home in Maryland and could not be happier with how professional, efficient and just all around a genuinely nice experience it was to work with Debbie, the Team and Compass. They were super communicative and even stayed in touch with us after the sale. We are still exchanging photos of both of our new Daschund puppies, Archie and Harvey.
Thank you so much for all your help! And to anyone considering using them as your Realtor, you absolutely should. You will be thankful you did." -Solange H.

"I began working with Debbie and Larry in 2008 when they represented me in both the sale of a current home and the purchase of a new home. More recently, I worked with Debbie and Larry in 2022 to sell my residence and purchase a new home out-of-state. I decided to leave town for a couple of weeks to find a new home and worked with the agent Debbie and Larry introduced me to. I located a home, signed a contract with a large due diligence deposit, all with the confidence that Debbie and Larry would work their magic to sell my existing home before I returned to Naples. There were many offer details that I wanted agreed upon for a deal that would work ideally for me. Each of these was negotiated successfully and I had a seamless transition from one primary residence to the next, with impressive profit as a bonus. More important to me than profits, I had zero stress with all deals made with the stellar guidance of Debbie and Larry. I have always held full confidence in their process, best practices, strategy, and attention to detail. I highly recommend working with these two top-tier professionals. After all these years, I continue to be thankful to call them my dear friends."-Scott R.

"We would like to thank you so much for the great service you provided with selling our house in Imperial Golf Estates. From the minute we sat down with you to discuss the sale and listing through to closing, which you attended with us, you made the entire process go smoothly and kept us informed in great detail every step of the way. We loved the way you considered us part of your team effort and that we were all in it together and made it fun and enjoyable. Also, very happy and amazed with the offer you obtained and how the conditions made for a quick transaction process and closing to the satisfaction of all parties. This was all due to the very professional, courteous, friendly, detailed, and timely manner you handled the entire process. You are a GREAT TEAM and we wish you all the best and continued success!"- Denny and Pat S.

I am grateful for all your advice and for making the sale seamless. Your knowledge and experience made selling our house a stress-free situation. I look forward to working with you in the future.

★★★★★
"Debbie and Larry have been wonderful to work with. They went above and beyond to make this sale as smooth as possible. We are out of state and they helped us at every turn to get ready for the sale and ensure a smooth transaction. I highly recommend them and hope to work with them again soon."- Tom C.

"Merry Christmas Eve Debbie and Larry, Just need to take a moment to thank you both for all your assistance with the sale of our home. Your professionalism, kindness ,patience and attention to all of the details is greatly appreciated. Now we can spend this holiday with our family. The boys are settling in very well. This picture is from the last Christmas we were together in 2018 and this memory kept me going. God Bless you both and your fur babies. Stay safe and healthy. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.."- Dee & Joe C.

"When I was looking for a realtor to sell my home, I interviewed three agents. Debbie and Larry were the first. Their knowledge of the business and Imperial Golf Estates, in particular, was impressive. I wanted to hire them then, but they were the first to be interviewed and wanted to continue with the process; however, the other two agents really had to stand out. They did not. Debbie & Larry were very interested in the features of my home; obviously, you need to know what my condo had to offer; however, the other agents were disinterested. From the time I signed with the Pappas-Burback Team until the time I closed, there were emails and phone calls along the way to assist me through the process. Because of those phone calls and emails, my experience was extremely positive. I would certainly work with the Pappas-Burback Team again."- Kris R.

"Recently, I had the pleasure of contracting with Debbie and Larry to sell my mother’s house in Naples. The whole transaction took place with my mother and I up North in PA. I must say that is a tall order but Debbie and Larry guided us through the process with ease. The reason this task could be pulled off so smoothly was due to the communication never breaking down. Debbie and Larry would constantly update us through the process, also give advice about the market and the Florida real estate issues to bear in mind. Any repairs or improvements were addressed by contractors from Larry’s network of contacts, and I mean Larry has a lot of quality contacts who work well with him and respect him. Lastly, it was straight out fun dealing with them and I actually miss our dealings since the property closed. I have worked with a lot of realtors and this team is exceptional, truly in a class of their own."- Matt R.

★★★★★
"Debbie and Larry are absolutely fantastic. Their counsel and advice was spot on and they are attuned to the Southwest Florida market. I highly recommend them to anyone considering a purchase in Southwest Florida."- Art & Lynn F.

★★★★★
"We moved to FL from NY 15 years ago. Our circumstances changed several times over that time period and we were fortunate to have Debbie and Larry Burback to guide and assist us with the accompanying/numerous housing changes. They have made each move seamless, always keeping our well being and real estate investment in mind. They take great care in walking you through every step from buying to selling and all the mountains of paperwork and legalities that go along with that. They always make themselves available to you no matter how often you reach out to them. My husband and I highly recommend the outstanding real estate team of Debbie and Larry Burback. "- Fred & Lucy B

"My brothers and I found myself faced with the overwhelming task of selling my mother’s home after her tragic death. This was a lot to tackle considering we all lived out of state and were dealing with a lot of grief. I’ll be forever grateful that someone close to my mother recommended Debbie and Larry Burback to help us with the sale. We could not have been in better hands. Their help went above and beyond what I expected and I soon realized that I would not have to worry about anything, I could count on Debbie and Larry to help with every detail. They are extremely professional, knowledgeable about the market, have great communication skills, and are so compassionate. I cannot recommend the PappasBurback team highly enough!"- Christine S

★★★★★
"Debbie and Larry Burback were professional, personable, took ample time to meet and discuss strategy, and addressed all my concerns. They took the stress out of being an out of state seller, going above and beyond by looking after my home and even overseeing a landscaping project for me while I was in Michigan. They were knowledgeable, quick to respond to my questions, and provided timely updates/feedback after showings. Both Debbie and Larry bring unique strengths to the table, making a strong, talented team. My home was listed and sold for the full asking price in 45 days! I couldn't be happier with the Pappas-Burback real estate team and recommend them highly.""- P. Benner - Oak Park, MI

★★★★★
"After the sale of our family home, Debbie and Larry reached out to see if there were any areas they could improve upon. I honestly cannot think of anything they need to improve on! Their ideas for staging the home were excellent. They kept us informed, and were great at follow-up. Since we were out of state, and not living in the house at the time the house was on the market, they were very gracious in offering to help out when needed with small projects. I always felt like we were their only client, as we always felt like we had their undivided attention! They are both delightful, and were a pleasure to work with. ""- Laurie R.

★★★★★
""I was very impressed with your knowledge, preparedness and responsiveness to my parents needs. Your excellent communication and presentation of the property on the Compass platform was instrumental in getting this sale closed. The word of mouth reference we got about you convinced me and my parents to select you and you both exceeded my expectations. I will be happy to be a reference for you to any prospective client.""- Jim G.

★★★★★
"Recently, the Pappas-Burback Team represented us in the sale of our single family home, in Imperial Golf Course. We cannot say enough positive comments about Debbie and Larry. Their attention to detail, communication, and going the extra mile for us, resulted in a successful sale. Shortly after listing our home with Debbie and Larry, we returned to our North Carolina mountain haven. Then came Hurricane Irma's landfall in Naples. Despite severe damage to their own residence, Debbie and Larry inspected our home in depth, took numerous pictures, and reported only vegetative damages. The concern for their clients at such a difficult time, illustrates the professionalism of this duo. We highly recommend this couple for both buyer and seller representation. They are there for you with expertise and poise."- Judith and Barry F.

★★★★★
"My husband and I met Debbie at an open house in our neighborhood. We were very impressed with her presentation of the home. She answered our questions at the home and quickly responded to additional questions we had for her after we left the home. We recommended her to our neighbors who were about to sell their home. They had already interviewed a number of other agents. After meeting with Debbie and Larry, they decided to list with them. Their home sold quickly and they were very happy they chose Debbie and Larry as their agents. When we were ready to sell our home, we felt very comfortable listing it with Debbie and Larry. Their professionalism was evident from start to finish. They provided excellent internet exposure with high quality pictures. Their appointment scheduling system, flexibility in working around having a dog in the home, feedback after showings, and quick response time to all our questions and needs were outstanding. They made sure that everything was in order ensuring a stress free inspection and closing. We have purchased and sold many homes. The services provided by Debbie and Larry are exceptional and beyond compare. If you need a Realtor, we highly recommend the knowledgeable and professional Pappas-Burback team."- Don and Karyn C.

"I count my lucky stars for Debbie and Larry’s help in selling my Mom’s house after she had to go into a long-term care facility; I couldn’t have asked for a better team. The house presented several challenges, including a somewhat quirky floor plan and being in bad shape and in need of significant repair. I was limited in how much I could take on since I worked and lived out of state. But Debbie and Larry jumped right in and helped take care of everything – from finding contractors for me to interview and select, to meeting them at the house and making sure the work was done - and done right and in timely fashion. No job was too big or too small and they went the extra mile every time! They are consummate professionals who were a joy to work with - always positive and upbeat; attentive and responsive to my needs, and the needs of the house - even during a hurricane! They kept me well informed of all progress relating to both the renovations and house showings/buyer feedback (which I received immediately after each showing). And the end results were fantastic. The house had never looked better, and they found the perfect couple to buy it (which made us especially happy) and for a great price! Closing, including all the paperwork was also a breeze because they were so well prepared. Their constant presence, support and assistance brought me tremendous peace of mind throughout the process. I will forever be grateful to them for turning this difficult time for my Mom and me into such an overall positive experience. Best realtors ever!" - Susan S.

"We want to thank you so very much for your professionalism and dedication to selling our home! When we called to inquire about listing our home, You came loaded with information regarding our home and all the homes in our neighborhood that were currently on market or had recently sold . You had the most thorough comps and evaluations of our home and neighborhood. You held numerous open houses and apprised us of homes that cropped up for sale in neighborhood. It was so comforting to have a real estate team that was so knowledgeable of our development and the area. We appreciated all the reports and stats during it’s time listed. We were so grateful for all the ‘extra’, and ‘above and beyond’! Your setting up home for showings when we traveled, to even feeding and tidying up for our cats, repairing a mailbox when we were out of town and helping us with referrals for repairs, and anything else that cropped up. It was truly an extraordinary experience to have a trustworthy, thorough, responsive and friendly team working to sell our home. We will always be grateful for your work and dedication! You set the bar for us in regards to selling a home." - Erin and Lyle C.

"Starting with day one of the listing of our home with Debbie and Larry, we were well pleased with the marketing and advertising dedicated to our property. In addition to numerous individual showings of the home, Debbie and Larry orchestrated a very successful open house that welcomed several dozen visitors. Upon receiving the accepted offer, Debbie and Larry served as great “quarterbacks” in arranging and overseeing the closing and settlement. We could not be more pleased and would recommend them without reservation." - Bill and Leslie Y.

★★★★★
We recently decided to sell our home and a very good friend of ours recommended Debbie and Larry Burback of the Pappas-Burback Team at Compass. Working with them took the whole experience to a different amazing level. The house needed to be redecorated and they took care of everything that needed to be done down to the last detail. Nothing was too much for them as, time and again, they went way above and beyond the “classical” role of real estate professionals to take care of every last detail . We, frankly, felt that we were dealing with friends and family and we are incredibly pleased with the results achieved. We simply cannot recommend them more to anyone who is thinking of buying or selling a property, they really do make the whole process seamless and they are the nicest people to do business with.- Bob and Margaret M

★★★★★
Two years ago Debbie and Larry sold our condo in Naples. From start to finish they guided my wife and I through the listing, the sale, and the closing. Complete professional service. When we went looking to buy a home, we never considered any other realtors, other than Debbie and Larry. Once again we were totally satisfied with their knowledge of neighborhoods and guidance on buying process. Their support team communicated so well through the due diligence period. They recommended the closing attorney, inspection professional, and even a painter. We highly recommend The Pappas-Burback Team!"- Ron and Amy F

★★★★★
The Pappas-Burback team of Debbie and Larry were simply the best from start to finish of our purchase in Naples. They were 100% in and available to us throughout the whole process of buying our second home. They advocated and counseled us the whole way through. Whether it was taking calls or their quick responses to emails and text messages. They were always willing to answer questions and help us understand the next steps. The updates each day about the timeline to the closing date were so very helpful! We knew what to expect each day. We could not be happier with the whole Pappas-Burback team at Compass! We would absolutely recommend them to our friends in the future. Excellent experience!"- Kristine and Kevin P
