Testimonials
Different owners look for different things when selecting a listing broker. Our home was a contemporary style and had untypical interior features which limited its appeal. We looked for certain broker strengths which Deb Barouch possessed. She successfully sold our home during early spring of 2006.
We did not believe a one-fits-all marketing plan would serve our property best. Deb proposed how to best make the property visible to the right potential buyers. She wanted to hear our reaction and input and we then agreed on a marketing plan. Our property was not visible from a public road, so Deb came up with 2 ideas to counter that problem.
We wanted feedback after each showing as to what features they seemed to like and not like. This information was important as we needed to decide if we should continue to upgrade some aspects of our 25 year old house. Deb has a rather unique way of providing this timely feedback. Brokers you may be considering will say they will give you feedback- most will not meet your expectations, consistently. Only trust what real sellers say as to whether their brokers did give useful feedback. Deb did.
Something we didn't focus on upfront was nonetheless helpful and appreciated. She has a top notch office staff, thoroughly professional and competent in all aspects of arranging for photos, marketing materials, showings, etc. No mistakes. No unclear messages.
Good luck with your home sale. - Bob and Linda Harroff
"My experience with Barouch Realtors has been completely satisfactory. I recently listed a home with Deb Barouch and the home sold in a very reasonable amount of time. The entire Barouch firm was always available for any inquiries by myself, prospective buyers and/or brokers. The initial sale of this property fell through at the last minute due to problems experienced by the buyers. Deb Barouch re-listed the property immediately upon the expiration of the initial sale contract. In addition, she contacted every Realtor with clients previously interested in the property. The initial contract expired on a Thursday evening and the property was under contract the following Monday morning with one of the clients of the Realtors contacted by Deb. The property was sold without problem. Deb Barouch kept me informed every step of the way regarding the progress of the sale of the property. She responded to all of my inquiries immediately. When she was out of town, she left me with the name and number of a broker within the firm who would handle the sale of the property in her absence. This is the second real estate transaction Deb Barouch has handled for me in a completely satisfactory manner. I am listing another property with Deb in the immediate future. I recommend Deb Barouch and her company for their service and professionalism with anyone's real estate needs."- Sharon Bonville
"Deb's practical advice combined with her high energy proved to be a winning formula in the sale of our house. Not only did the house sell for a desirable price, but the buyers ended up loving the house as much as we did." - Cesar Britos
"Thank you so much for all the time that you put into finding a place for me over the years! We found it! You definitely went above and beyond in order to find the right house and I really appreciate it. I am so excited to move into the condo and know that it is just the right fit." - Hannah Quimby
"Selling a significant piece of property long-distance as power-of-attorney can be a challenge. Finding Barouch and Company made what could be a complicated process, simple and easy. Deb came recommended to me by one of her previous clients. After interviewing Deb and hearing her enthusiasm for up-to-the-minute marketing and follow-up methods using email and the web, Barouch and Company seemed like the right answer. Consulting with our Portland attorney and hearing only positive feedback on previous business involving Barouch and Company made me confident we had found the right realtor. Communication was abundant throughout the process, and the advice and direction received got the sale of the property and closing completed in short order. While under contract we had the added complication of the death of the property's owner; it then needed to involve probate, etc. Unflappable, Deb worked hand-in-glove with me, the attorney, and the buyer's agent and the transaction closed as originally scheduled with no penalty to either buyer or seller. I would recommend Barouch and Company to any buyer or seller seeking professionalism, knowledge of the community and the market and a very pleasant individual to work with." - Carol Scott
