Deb was committed, communicated well and focused. Dedicated service was a plus.

Deb was committed, communicated well and focused. Dedicated service was a plus.

Deb was regularly in contact before and during and after the campaign with a realistic appraisal of the market and conditions for sale. She communicated well and was open, honest and direct which i appreciated. She provides dedicated service so if you list with her thats who you will be dealing with. The sale process was long and at times challenging with market conditions not being conducive for a good sale, but she stuck with it and got a result ultimately although not meeting my expectations, I did not wish to holdout in a market that probably would not support my expectations anyway. Only issue was the use of kiwisaver deposit by the buyer which has a special set of rules and caused a degree of consternation. Deb provides a good, personalized service that yields good results.

Outstanding support and expert guidance

Outstanding support and expert guidance

We recently worked with Deb sell our property. From start to finish, Deb was incredibly professional, communicative, and supportive. She provided invaluable advice and guidance, particularly regarding auction strategy and navigating pre-auction offers. Her strategic insights were helpful, and she was always available to answer our questions and walk us through the complexities of each step. She went above and beyond to manage the logistics of the sale, coordinating everything from staging and property management issues to pre-settlement details, which made the entire experience so much easier for us, especially when we were overseas. If you are looking for an agent who is knowledgeable, diligent and cares about protecting your interests, we highly recommend Deb. Thank you, Deb, for all your help!

Went the extra mile

Deb was quick to respond to any questions I had. She really knew what the market was doing around the time of sale. What makes Deb stand out is her calm practical approach and going the extra mile to help buyers understand the cladding on my home.

excellent communication and outstanding support throughout the buying process

Deb was fantastic to work with throughout the purchase of our home. She was always helpful, answered all our questions promptly, and went above and beyond by obtaining extra information about the house cladding for us. Deb made communication easy and transparent at every stage of the process. Thank you for making the whole experience so straightforward and stress-free.

The hardest working agent. Got us a fabulous result in a difficult market with quick settlement.

The hardest working agent. Got us a fabulous result in a difficult market with quick settlement.

I first noticed Deb Starr due to her regular letterbox drops of local market information. Over the past few years she would ring from time to time and just check how we were going and if we were buying or selling. She knows every house in our local area and surrounding suburbs. She has a fantastic memory. Right from the beginning Deb presented us with detailed explanations of the sale process, how she works with the Ray White 'Buyer Match' software, and showed us the very detailed weekly marketing campaign updates she prepares for her sellers. She doesn’t overburden herself with too many listings at once so she remains totally focused on the properties she is marketing. She has a database of excellent tradespeople, painters and stagers to help us get the property ready for sale and it looked fantastic. During the marketing campaign we received excellent communication on what she has done, who she has talked to with notes on their feedback. She really did follow up every single possible lead whether on the phone or by email. She really listened to us and prospective buyers. We were selling in a difficult market, during which the Iran War broke out which rattled potential buyers. Like any campaign there are ups and downs, but Deb Starr has ‘seen it all’ due to her years of experience. Deb is calm, tenacious and persistent. She really doesn’t give up. She is always so positive, cheerful and is an eternal optimist. Deb presented an offer to us that was very slightly lower than our expectations, but the clincher was a very quick settlement of literally 8 days from signing the Sale and Purchase agreement. We are delighted for the new owner because it is just such a perfect property for them and their circumstances and we know they will love living there. I would highly recommend Deb Starr to anyone looking for an extremely hardworking agent, who really thinks about each property and the target market that it is suitable for. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again.
