A Dog's Tale
"While looking for a house to rent, my boyfriend Jim and I came across an open house in Georgetown and decided to go in just for fun. Of course we both fell in love with it - the hardwood floors, the high arched ceiling, the enormous kitchen, and big windows. I felt in my heart that I had to live in the house.
I had met with Debi a year earlier. (My favorite antique dealer recommended her highly to me). And I knew that if I ever wanted to buy in Seattle that I would want to use her as a real estate agent - she left that good of an impression on me. So Jim and I raced back to my apartment and I started shuffling through some papers that I had saved for one reason or another until I found Debi's card. I had to work in 20 minutes but I called her anyway. She answered (on a Sunday evening!!) and remembered me right away. I told her about the house and that if possible I wanted to make an offer on the house. She took down some information and made some phone calls and by the next morning we made an offer on the house.
I felt like a team with Debi the entire time I worked with her. I felt I had the most skilled real estate agent on my side. She bent over backwards for me - she met me around my schedule at nearby coffee houses and bakeries. She was there before I needed her at every step. And the way she listened and spoke with me made me feel like I was the only and most important thing on her agenda for the day - she has a very calm demeanor and soothing voice. She soothed me many times when I worried. And she never let a problem get in the way. When I thought that a problem was insurmountable, she came up with a creative and effective solution. I am not the most organized person, and Debi kept me on track with where I needed to be and what I needed to be doing. She made it practically effortless for me, like having a concierge in the finest hotel. Debi is the best real estate agent I could imagine, because she truly cares, is really smart, and really organized. I would recommend her to anyone." - Kate and Jim
Dear Debi,
Just a quick note of thanks to express my gratitude for the FUN!!, involved, pro-active marketing campaign you developed to successffully sell my Queen Anne condo.
Such service! Such great advice! Such a pain-free transaction!
I loved your flyer. It really captured the charm of the unit. And your thingking "outside the box" for marketing no doubt sped the process.
Thanks again,

Dear Debi - I'm writing to thank you for helping me find my great new condo! You're patience and guidance during the whole real estate process were invaluable! I know that transaction ended up being difficult for a number a reasons, and I really appreciate the extra effort you had to go to in order to make this deal happen. You took advantage of the many resources that you had in order to get everything worked out in the end. Your enthusiasm about showing property and the fact that it was really important to you that I find something I loved (which I do) was also great! Thanks!

Just wanted to say thank you for all your help during my home purchase! It has been a long road and a dream come true for me. I couldn't have done it without you and your hard work and dedication. If you only know how I feel and how much I appreciate your efforts, it is unexplainable! Larry C.
Thanks for helping me understand the various details of the home and patiently listening to my myriad thoughts. You make me feel very comfortable to express and communicate and I appreciate it a lot. Thank you. Hema C.
I want to take this opportunity to express my utmost thanks to you for your serving so aptly as my real estate agent recently. I am so thrilled to be a homeowner for the first time in my life at the age of 53! You were such a calming force from start to finish. I was very nervous in the home-buying process business for a couple of reasons. As I mentioned, this was my very first home purchase and my being self-employed, I couldn’t imagine that it would all come together so quickly and efficiently as it did. You were so cordial and professional in all your dealings with me. You were aware of all the details that needed to be taken care, particularly in the last days of the closing process that was so very important, as it turned out! The very best to you in your career as you continue to serve others with their needs as you have assisted me in my purchase.

Debi is a ball of energy when it comes to looking for the right place. She has the experience, attitude and willingness to pursue what you are looking for. She listens and knows exactly where you need to look for your ideal property. Her enthusiasm and optimistic eye for what I was looking for helped me get into the right property at the right time. And when it came time to sell, she was right there making it happen. She will be the realtor I call when it's time to buy again. Laura Price

I wanted to thank you for all the hard work you put into finding me the perfect place and for being so patient and personable. Your really tuned into my likes and dislikes, and took the time to find all the right features in each home.

In October I found a condo in a great location, at a reasonable price, and with a view of the Space Needle. Of course there were several other bids on this condo and a minimal amount to time to place another bid. Debi Fortin was able to quicly put my offer together, just hours after viewing the condo.
First Debi had expertly explained the purchasing process, next she wrote up a competitive bid that I felt comfortable with, and finally I had my first home.
Without Debi, there is a very good chance that I ould not have had the competitive offer that was needed to purchase the condo. She answered my questions, provided good advice when I needed to make decisions, and made me feel comfortable. I would recommend Debi Fortin to anyone looking for a great real estate agent to get you the home you want. She offers experience and knowledge that is required in this competitve Seattle market.

This letter is long overdue, but we wanted to express our gratitude for all your efforts. We are so appreciative of the time you spent getting us into our first home. Our black lab, Abbey, is also grateful for her new yard and next door playmate, Stitch.
Your dedication and passion to help individuals buy or sell their homes was evident from our first interaction. You took the time to understand out life style, needs, and what house attributed were a priority to us. More importantly, you were able to take all these things and show ups homes that we would not have considered on our own, but piqued our interest and helped us consider other alternatives.
We don't know of any other real estate professional that could maintain patience and positive attitude with their clients after presenting over 40 houses and losing two offers before finding the perfect house. Never once did you pressure us into a home, but instead helped us evaluate the pro and cons, enabling us to make decisions we felt good about and didn't regret.
We wish you continued sucess in the years to come and look forward to working with you again. Jennifer & Gabriel
