Debra Valdes's Reviews & Ratings

Tell us about your experience with
Debra Valdes

    • Debra is hands down the best realtor you are going to find. She always goes the extra mile and has made both buying and selling our home a breeze. She has the "aggressiveness", if you will, that a realtor needs to have to make things happen. Most realtors lack that. We most recently used Debra to sell our home and she made it extremely easy and not the slightest bit stressful when we completed the entire selling process from across the continent. She is thorough, efficient, and is an expert in her field. We are proud to be a repeat client of Debra, and even prouder to call her our friend!

      - Matt h. - Hudson, FL
    • Debra is absolutely wonderful to work with. This is our second time requiring her services and will come back if needed. Its like having a friend on the inside that is working for you. She really care about her clients and will always be honest and look for your benefit. 100% recommended!!!!

      - Zuly R. - Plant City, FL
    • We met Debra through a friend. We decided to go in on a condo w our daughter who lives there full time. Debra was extraordinary. Tireless. Guided us throughout the process. It didnt matter if it was 8 am or 9 pm. Always responded. She was very open and honest even if it wasnt in her best interest. We were / are very lucky to have met her and her husband Greg. Even after the buy she had a few small items repaired /replaced. In fact, weve become good friends since. That should tell you all you need to know. Id NEVER use anyone else.

      - Ralph F. - Treasure Island, FL
    • Debra was incredible!!! From the moment we decided to go with her, she was on top of everything!! This agent is such a detail person and doesn't miss anything! She would answer and go out of her way to accommodate whatever we needed. We have dealt with numerous realtors over the years but I can honestly say she is one in a million!!! I have never met someone who did what she does and that's with all her clients. We think of her as part of our family! Even after we moved out of state we still needed her a few times and she went out of her way to help! Here we are several months since we sold our home and we are still in touch. Oh and also because we were moving out of state, we didn't know what realtor to use. She not only offered to help but interviewed several realtors until she found the one that she knew would fit us. That was amazing! We can't thank her enough for all she did for us!

      - Pat K. - Sun City Center, FL
    • Debra is a very talented and professional realtor! She kept me informed of every offer and guided me through the entire process. I will recommend her to all perspective buyers and sellers. Updated forms that needed to be signed were processed immediately. She worked well with both the clients and there realtor.

      - Pam - Sun City Center, FL
    • Debra is amazing, helped us every step of the way to ensure a successful closing! She was always available to answer any and all questions we had throughout the process. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!

      - Shea Z. - St. Petersburg, FL
    • Where do I begin? Business. From the initial contact and throughout the process, they were nothing but professional, down-to-earth, and kept it real. One thing that stuck out was their tag team approach. We loved it! On viewing day, it allowed us to get right to the point. We experienced consistent and reliable communication up until closing. We highly recommend Debra Valdes to assist with finding your new home.

      - The Brewington Family - Wimauma, FL
    • I am very grateful with Debra for all her assistance during this process of buying my first home. She is well knowledgeable and patient with all my questions.

      - Jacqueline D. - Lakeland, FL
    • Debra's kindness and excellence in helping us through both buying and selling a condo we're over the top. She knows the market well and is always responsive to concerns in a timely manner. We highly recommend her.

      - Kathy G. - Sun City Center, FL
    • She is the best of the best! The entire process of buying and selling is easy when she is your agent. I would recommend her to anybody who wants buying or selling their home to feel as seamless as possible.

      - Frank Z. - St. Petersburg, FL
    • Debra helped me with the purchase of my wife and I's new home. It was a difficult move coming from California to Florida and when I contacted her back in August, she was sending me homes right away that fit our criteria to get a better sense of what works for us. Once we verified we were coming to Florida for a vacation, she scheduled all of the viewings and had a break down of each day and what homes we would see (both new construction and resale). On our last day of looking at homes, we found the perfect size house and decieded to go for it. It was a new construction home and Debra was there every step of the process. From communicating with the builders and having an open line of communication during most hours of the day for us. We had some issues arise towards the end of the building, but Debra made sure we were taken care of by asking all of the right questions we wouldn't of thought to ask. Safe to say, the whole process felt a lot easier thanks to Debra. What came from just potentially buying a home and seeing how it would look for us turned into being homeowners. I highly recommend Debra to anybody in need of an amazing Realtor who cares about her clients! I am glad we reached out to her and her team.

      - Tyler H. - Wesley Chapel, FL
    • I work with over 100 real estate agents and when it came time for my wife and I to buy I house there was no doubt who I was going with. Debra is hands down the best in the area. Her work ethic and passion for real estate is amazing. If you are looking for the best, look no further.

      - Michael T. Palm Harbor FL
    • Debra was the best realtor we've ever experienced. She was honest, genuinely helpful, and openly available. She helped us find the perfect home for our family. And was always so patient with us. I would recommend her to anyone!

      - Scott W. Hyde Park Tampa FL
    • "Debra is simply fantastic! She worked tirelessly to make the deal happen. I can not say enough good things about her and her work ethics. I can wholeheartedly recommend her to anybody who is looking to buy or sell a home."

      - Tina M - Riverview

      - Kathy M - Sun City Center

      - Sun City Center Client
    • "We recently moved from Buffalo, New York. We had been looking for a new home for a few months and were lucky enough to find Debra! Immediately, Debra had the confidence, the skills, the knowledge and most of all the patience and found our dream home!!!! She was always available (day or night) to answer our questions, she did an awesome job explaining the process and was always one step ahead! We can't thank Debra enough for everything she did for us! Anyone who is lucky enough to work with Debra is in for a really special treat. Debra will be a lifelong friend!"

      - Morgan D - Sun City Center
    • "Debra Valdes is an exceptional professional. She knows the local real estate market, and understands both buyers and sellers. She communicates really effectively, and stays on top of hundreds of details. She sold my mom's house in Sun City Center (for over asking price) in just a few days, and went way beyond the typical realtor work, helping us to sell Mom's car and her golf cart as well. She was so kind to all of our family in a stressful time for us, and even helped us clear personal items from Mom's house. I can't recommend Debra highly enough. She is a terrific realtor and human."

      - Debra H - Sun City Center
    • "Very professional, responsible and take accountability. Debra Valdes helped us selling our house, meeting and exceeding our expectations, from start to finish. Put her best knowledge and experience in due diligence of the market. Map it to our house in upbringing key feature, and accordingly position. Detail attention to each aspect of process, guiding through each step, working with everyone to achieve the expected milestone. Strongly recommend and willing to answer any specific question."

      - Yamini T - New Tampa
    • I have bought and sold 6 homes over the last 20 years and have worked with numerous real estate agents. I have never worked with someone as knowledgeable, dependable, fantastic at follow up, and honest as Debra. She works diligently for her client, is a skilled negotiator, understands the nuances of the neighborhoods in the greater Tampa market and, in many cases knows the details of a listing better than the listing agent. If you are looking to buy or sell property in the Tampa Bay area, Debra Valdes is the only agent you should contact.

      - Adam M. Riverview, FL
    • We couldn't ask for a Realtor who was more professional, diligent & honest than Deb. We decided to purchase a new construction home, but didn't want to sell our current home until it was nearing completion, to avoid multiple moves. Deb was awesome & helped us negotiate our new home purchase. Then, as time came closer, she provided us with a checklist to sell. We did everything she asked & the house sold in only 3 days - with over a dozen showings & multiple offers! She even negotiated a lease back so we could remain until our new home was completed. This whole process has taken 8 months & Deb has been in constant contact with us(and our builder) through every step. If you're looking for a dedicated Realtor to get you through, Deb is your best choice!

      - Tracy K. Riverview, FL
    • Deb is a beast! My husband and I were really nervous about buying a house because we're new to Tampa. Deb is very knowledgeable of the area and the home buying process. She's honest and will only recommend what she would buy herself. We feel like we're her only client....that's how attentive she is!

      - Tajanna M. Riverview, FL
    • Debra was the best realtor we've ever experienced. She was honest, genuinely helpful, and openly available. She helped us find the perfect home for our family. And was always so patient with us. I would recommend her to anyone!

      - Scott W. Hyde Park Tampa FL
    • As first time home buyers, choosing to work with Debra was the best decision we could have made. Her level of knowledge and expertise helped us secure our dream home. She was super helpful and responsive every step of the way throughout our real estate search and home buying process. We would highly recommend her to anyone.

      - First Time Buyer
    • Deb goes above and beyond for her clients. She offers suggestions and listens. I could not have asked for a better experience. Thank you for making this process simple and easy. She deserves more than 5 stars!!!

      - Sherry R. Ruskin, FL
    • Debra is awesome! She listed our home (we got an offer this first weekend it was listed) & helped us buy our new build. Her follow skills are the best, she was quick to respond to any questions I had. In addition , we needed a handy man for some last minute fixes , so I asked her if she new anyone (within one day she sent a handyman to our house)! This is service! Her knowledge in real estate exceeded my expectations! With our new build I asked her if she could join me at the design center to pick out my options, she did did not hesitate to say Yes! She met us there and was a big help ( my husband and I were very overwhelmed) with all the options but she made this process so easy for us. I will never look anywhere else for my real estate needs, I have truly found the best of the best with Debra!

      - Amy & Kris M. Valrico, FL
    • From the moment we connected with Debra, we knew we had found the perfect person to sell our late uncle's Sun City Center house. She instantly proved her deep knowledge of the market and gave us an honest assessment of the work we'd need to do to make the house more appealing. She stayed in constant contact with us throughout that process, and then, once the house was ready, she managed to put it on the market, get it shown twenty times in two days, and receive multiple offers over our asking our price. Her consummate professionalism enabled us to sail through the sale, which was essential as we live out-of-state. Her combination of knowledge, determination, savvy, and actual kindness makes her the ideal realtor. I couldn't recommend her more highly.

      - Gary K. Sun City Center FL
    • She is wonderful. Any questions or concerns, she will get the answers you need. Very dependable and honest. You will not find a better real estate professional.

      - Rosie G. Sun City Center FL
    • I cannot begin to tell you how impressed I was with Debra Valdes, from the first time we spoke on the phone. I live in California, my brother lives in New York, and we had to sell our uncle's home in Sun City Center, Florida. Debra was recommended by a real estate professional that I know in California, and wow, did she give us great advice. Debra was kind, knowledgable, engaging, and honest, and she moved so quickly to take care of everything that there was literally almost nothing for us to worry about. The main thing that we wanted in a real estate professional was somebody we could trust. We got that, and more, with Debra.

      - Linda K. Sun City Center, FL
    • We first discovered Debra by chance when we purchased the very home she just sold for us. Debra was an excellent buyers agent when we purchased our home 2 years ago, so when we decided to sell it, there was no one else we would've considered for the job. From day one, Debra had a plan of attack and between us, that plan was executed. I have worked with several real estate agents over the years and have come to one simple conclusion, most want your house sold quickly so they can get paid, that is not how Debra operates. Debra understands the TRUE value of your home, not just to you, but in the marketplace. She is willing to take the necessary risks to achieve the established goals of the seller. I would recommend Debra as a Buyer and/or Sellers agent any day of the week. I now live 2 hours away in Fort Myers and Debra will be involved in our next home purchase.

      - Dale D. Fort Myers, FL
    • Debra Valdes by far is the most knowledgeable, professional and hard working real estate broker we have ever met. Having bought and sold 7 homes over the years, we have never met anyone as honest and passionate about the industry. It took Debra only 18 days from listing to closing on the sale of our property. Her marketing really made the difference.

      - Donald R. Sun City Center, FL
    • Debra was amazing!! My home had more showings than days on the market!! The process can be very confusing but she made it easy! Any issue we had along the way she was able to resolve quickly!! I highly recommend her!!

      - Amy M. Valrico, FL
    • I just used Debra to list and sell my home. Debra is hands down one of the best realtors I've ever worked with. Debra always goes above and beyond for her clients. She is extremely quick to respond to any type of communication you send her and she'll always fight tooth and nail to get you the best deal. She's also very resourceful and able to think outside of the box to get a deal done. Can't thank her enough!

      - Marion D. Valrico, FL
    • Debra is an excellent realtor. We decided to sell our town home and purchase a bigger home. When we started this process I was nervous of the thought of trying to sell my home and purchase a home at the same time. Debra was by our side every step of the way assuring me everything will work out. Debra communicated with us almost daily about the progress of our town home sale. Debra was able to sell our home with a lease back option due to the house we wanted to put a contract on would not be ready until almost a month after closing on the town home. When we went to put a contract on our new home, Debra was able to negotiate a new fridge, washer, and dryer with the builder at no extra cost. Debra is very knowledgeable, dedicated and only wants nothing but the best for her clients. The service Debra provided to my family and I was way above our expectations. I can't imagine doing this with out her by our side. She made this whole process go smoothly.

      - Kristina J. Riverview, FL
    • Debra was the best. She took us to see many homes and gave an honest evaluation of every one. She pointed out not only the positives but also the negatives. She is high energy without any pressure to buy at all. In fact we were just looking around. When it came time to negotiate, she was incredible. She truly was looking out for us, and was totally fine for us to walk away if we didn't get the deal we wanted. She was fantastic with everything through out. She really earned her commission during the closing process. She was there with us every step of the way, smoothing out every difficulty. I can not imagine a better realtor to work with!

    • Deb was a understanding and patient realtor. I say this because we must have change our mind or change our approach a million. Every approach we took, she made it achievable. She knows her stuff, and she doesnt she put in all her efforts to figure it out. Im thankful that I had Deb by my side while we searched and found our new home.

      - Angie B. Apollo Beach, FL
    • Debra is great to work with! I really felt like she was in my corner the whole time as a strong advocate. She helped us buy our home 3 years ago and then sell it today. When we purchased our home she had to get tough with the seller/builder and ended up saving us big $$$. When selling, she help us navigate the whole process and negotiate a good deal. I strongly recommend her to anyone in the real estate market!

      - Jeff R. Riverview, FL
    • Oh, theres not a 6th star, there should be. Debra has become far more than a realtor, shes a friend and a member of our family. I know, I know, you probably hear that all the time, but this is different. Debra approaches real estate from a different angle, she understands the art of the deal very well but she also understands the limitations of the buyer and seller. Ultimately, Debra gets it done and when youre sitting at the closing table, thats all that matters. Debra has been our agent on 2 houses for 4 years across the state of Florida and we will ONLY use her.

      - Dale D., Temple Terrace, FL
    • Debra and Greg were amazingly accommodating to our short time window to find a property. Great care was taken by Debra and Greg to really understand what we were looking for. Debra did a deep research of each property we were interested in and that helped narrow our list and saved time. Once we found a house we really liked, the negotiation went smoothly and we ended up paying what we felt was a fair price. It was truly a pleasure having Debra and Greg help us and I would give them the highest possible recommendation!

      - Dave M. Tampa, FL
    • Debra and her husband, Greg, are the dynamic duo. Some background of myself... single female, early 30's, family lives in the northeast, super independent but no clue what I'm doing with this process haha! I am so appreciative of these two beyond words. They learned my style and personalty, were patient and never pushy throughout the process and actually quite the opposite. They want to make sure that the decision their customers are making is something that they are comfortable with. They encourage you to act on your overall assessment of the situation and not just buy on impulse. It's a big decision and I fully trust their intentions. They are good people advocating for you... they saved my butt on a few occasions. Debra is very savvy and knowledgeable. Greg is a Tampa native and knows the area like the back of his hand. I closed on my new condo today and am already trying to find ways so I can keep hanging with them because besides all the above... they are just really cool people to boot!

      - Jenni B. Tampa, FL
    • Very professional and an expert in the community we were interested in purchasing a home. Debra went to great lengths to be sure she understood what we were looking for in our next home. She stayed in contact with us from the time we contacted her until closing. An excellent agent to work with. I highly recommend her as she makes her clients number one. She's great!

      - Linda B. Sun City Center FL
    • Debra is very professional, friendly and very knowledgeable. She was referred to us from some friends here in Kings Point. She spent time with us showing homes that were in price point and recommended whether if they would be a good purchase. We are snow birds from Minnesota. We have known Debra for 3 years. I would definitely recommend her and her team.
