I’m writing this review on behalf of my best friends Chris and Marci C. as they are still mourning the loss of their dearly departed mother and father.
I feel that Debbie deserves to be recognized for her very capable ability to get the job done.
In all my years seeing my own customers pass over and watching their families deal with realtors to sell the family homes Debbie goes way beyond any realtor I have ever seen!
She gets down and dirty to make your home more appealing to the potential buyers.
I watched her replace the baseboards herself as in tools in hand!
She muscled a safe out of the closet to get ready for new carpet
She also made sure the painters and plumbers did their jobs to perfection.
I was hands on as I was to clean the home once all the repairs were done.
Other realtors simply waited for the home to be ready to go on the market.
Debbie deserves to be recognized and thanked for the amazing job she did for the family
If ever I was to sell my home I would hire Debbie to be my realtor and I will for future be passing her on to anyone I know to sell their house for them.
Great job Debbie! I am forever grateful of the great care and time you took to help my friends!

We found Debbie Marino of Properties in Silicon Valley to be very thorough in breaking down all the requirements of the sellers obligation. She walked us through step by step, answered all of our questions and gave us the level of comfort needed throughout the selling process. We found Debbie to be trustworthy, knowledgeable and very committed to us as her clients.

Some key areas that we felt Debbie excelled in was her knowledge of the market and experience in preparing/staging our home for sale.
Debbie conducted a full market analysis early in the process and again at various steps within the process as she verified any potential market changes. Debbie created a real estate proposal complete with breakdown of our homes statistics and the history of neighboring sales for comparison, schools, community demographics and more were included.
Debbie also created a state of the art website with links to our 3-D home presentation, open house dates, flyer/brochure, photography, videography and drone aerial view, all of which were accessible from the website that Debbie created for us. Post cards were sent out to a wide radius of neighboring homes marketing our home for sale as well. Marketing at it’s best which ultimately was the driving factor that brought us a buyer for our home.

Staging was another area that we felt was essential in getting right and Debbie went the extra mile to stage our home properly. We were able to live in the home comfortably while going through the selling process. Debbie even added her own special touches like pillows and plants which gave the house a great look. Both inside and out, our home was staged nicely by the final touches Debbie put in place.

Debbie gave us a blank calendar on the 1st day we met to discuss the transaction and we filled it in together with a timeline for everything from inspections to the day the house would go on the market to when she would host open house and we would book showings. This kept us all on track and with Debbie’s excellent follow up skills, we never missed a beat.

Our home sold in 15 days and we couldn’t be happier. Debbie even gave us a voucher for U-Haul to help us move out!

Lastly, Debbie Introduced everyone on her team that we would be working with so that we knew who to safely provide information to. We were given each persons contact info so that we would know who to expect communication from. Everyone on the team was extremely helpful in the process which made our transaction move smoothly all the way to the day we closed on the sale.

I recommend Debbie Marino of Properties in Silicon Valley to anyone interested in selling their home because she is fully committed and will be by your side throughout the entire experience making sure that you understand every step within the process for a successful sale.

Thank you Debbie!

Sincerely,
Jim and Kathleen Vela

Debbie was my listing agent for a home in Salinas. Before the sale, she got the landscape watered, places some flowers, and cleaned up the front flower beds and yard, none of which I had time to do.

She handled the first set of interested parties and when those offers fell through, got a second set of people to look through the home. All total we had 16 offers and I sold the house for almost $50k over list price!

Since I know nothing about how to do this, she guided me through all the steps, including what to sign for whom and when, and how I should get paid.

The process was simple for me because of Debbie's help, and I appreciated it greatly.

I would highly recommend Debbie at Properties In Silicon Valley because she made things simple for me, explains everything and even pitches in when needed to get things done.

Thank you so much!!!

Debbie found my fiancé and I the perfect home! She listened to our needs and was very proactive, attentive and worked tirelessly to find us the right place. When we got the keys, she surprised us with a welcome basket, champagne and took us shopping for new exterior door handles (who knew they were so expensive?!) so we could change the locks. She truly cares and we are so thankful that we had her help.

Our first time home buying experience was a great one, thanks to Debbie Marino from Properties in Silicon Valley.

She is honest, prompt, professional, straight to the point and a pleasure to work with. No questions left unanswered and no stones left unturned. There was never that feeling of being trapped in shark infested waters.
She was truly looking out for our best interests and made sure we didn't venture out of our comfort zone. From the offer to closing she was enthusiastically with us every step of the way. The whole process was a breeze. Wouldn't have had it any other way.

Because of Debbie's sincerity and hard work, our dreams became reality.

10/10 would recommend.

You couldn't ask for better service by going with Debbie, we were insecure when buying our first home in 2015 Debbie took control and handled everything we were unsure of , she proofread all the paperwork and papers we had to sign from the seller. She made the process so smooth and easy for us. We will always recommend her and will use her if needed in the future .

Love working with Debbie. She finds properties for me to fix up quickly, then sells them for me. Very professional and easy to work with. Does all the hard work finding properties for the right price in the right neighborhood, keeping contractors profit in mind. Would recommend.

Debbie was able to answer some important questions regarding investment properties in northern California. I'm confident about her recommendations, and believe she has a thorough understanding of what a buyer needs to do.
