Debbie McGuire

We used Debbie McGuire and Lisa Bast from Lyons and McGuire to sell our townhouse, and they did an outstanding job! Right from the start, they were high-energy, focused, and extremely helpful. They helped us strategize on how to best market the home, brought in a professional stager and photographer, created visually appealing and well written marketing materials, and conducted multiple open houses. They actively pursued all leads and helped close the deal, providing excellent advice during the negotiations. They even made sure that inspection items were taken care of while we were away on vacation! They really went the extra mile, and we valued their expertise and professionalism. All in all, a great experience and we would highly recommend Debbie, Lisa, and the whole Lyons and McGuire team!

Vivian and Debbie are the ultimate professionals. They were very helpful and thoughtful in guiding us through the sale process from beginning to end. They worked with us to prepare a top notch listing that was specifically tailored to highlight the relevant details of our home, rather than using a generic template. They promoted the home and held numerous open houses, with substantially more effort than we were expecting. They counseled us through the offers and helped devise a strategy to maximize the value of those offers. They helped drive the closing and explain the paperwork and expected costs as well. And throughout the process, they were quick and proficient communicators, going the extra mile at every turn. We could not recommend them more highly!

If you are willing to listen to professionals who sell homes for a living, and, if you are willing to check your emotions at the door, Debbie McGuire and Vivian Lyons are right for you. After reviewing our property, they made several suggestions to get it market ready. The most significant of their recommendations was to paint the oak kitchen cabinets white ($3,800). That was tough to swallow, but we did it. One of the most important things that Debbie suggested was to tour the competing properties. After completing the tour, we were in a much better place to determine a listing price that would make our property stand out. Had we not done that, we could have fallen into the pit of over pricing. Thats where checking your emotions at the door is important. Who doesnt think their property is worth at least what they paid for it, or, at the very least, more than the market wants to pay?Result...the house sold in less than a week (in December!), a hair below full listing price, and closed in 30 days, with a well-qualified buyer. Debbie was aggressive in the counteroffer she proposed and worked seamlessly with the buyers broker to navigate the inspection report, radon report and other details. An interesting sidebar is that Debbie and Vivian were the listing brokers when we bought the property. They bring class and experience to the table.Less

I have worked with Debbie McGuire for two home purchases so far. Both times, she really took the time to understand what I was looking for, and she helped me find the perfect place. She encouraged me to look at a range of properties in various price ranges, and I ended up finding the absolute perfect place for my family and myself. She made the entire process so easy after that. That included making an offer at a price that I was happy with and that the sellers were happy to accept. She helped me navigate the process of the inspections and every other step of the way so that it seemed easy. I know she's a busy agent, but I always felt that I had her personal attention right up until I moved in, and even beyond that time. I recommend Debbie to all my friends who are looking to buy or sell a property. I consider her not just a real estate agent, but a friend and a partner.

We are happy to recommend Vivian and Debbie, as we are thrilled with their work. First of all, they know how to stage and photograph better than any otherswe have seen. It is imperative that your house look fantastic on the internet. Take their advice, it makes a difference. My husband was a little resistant to the changes they advised for photos and showings. Now, after the fact, he firmly believes that they were correct, and our house sold quickly because of it. The brochure they made for us was a great marketing tool, it was superior.They used a professional photographer, and the photos showed our house at its best.They have a proven sales approach that they follow, they are both very knowledgable and responsive to us as well as any potential buyers. We were very comfortable asking questions and discussing any concerns,even at odd hours. Our house was always actively marketed, regular open houses, print and internet exposure, it never languished. Very motivated.We ended up with a contract and a back-up contract. They guided usthrough the process and minimized any re-negotiations regarding price and requested repairs/changes. They are very skilled negotiators. We are very pleased with the professionalism of their entire team, the price we received and the timeliness of the entire transaction. We have recommended them to our friends and would use them again.

Debbie McGuire sold one home for us in Holly Knoll and we got to know her style and commitment to Real Estate. When it was time for us to sell our other Great Falls home, we reached out to her for a consultation. Debbie is knowledgeable, easy to talk to and gives unbiased advice on how to market and price your home. Even though Great Falls prices are not where they need to be, Debbie and her team put full effort in marketing our home and getting it sold. We have started a new chapter in our life in a beautiful condo in Reston Town Center. Thank you Debbie and the team
