She was available at all hours for all of my concerns, she knew what was important to me and really set her mind to getting us the perfect house AND deal. She had the best advice and was totally transparent. I trusted her in every single aspect and she could not have been more supportive. If you need a realtor, she’s the one. I will only ever have positive things to say. Debbie is an incredible realtor and a great friend!”

“Debra was efficient and knowledgeable, knowing exactly what it took to sell our home. Our home sold within 6 days! Her excellent people skills allowed her to empathize and understand just where we were at throughout the selling process. She was extremely supportive and patient throughout each step of the way. I think she is the best at what she does and she obviously loves it!”

“Deb was phenomenal in helping me buy my first house! First, she throughly explained the home buying process, and when we went to see houses she was very honest and knowledgeable about what to look for. Then, because of her stellar reputation and vast network of contacts she found the very best house for my son and me! She referred me to the best lender/loan officer, and guided me through every step of the way! Deb exceeded all my expectations, she was always available to answer any questions, extremely responsive and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend her for any home buying or selling needs!!”

“Debbie was absolutely amazing in a very difficult market. Her knowledge of the area, her resources for inspections and repairs, her patience with our many questions and unexpected obstacles all contributed to a very satisfying buying process. Debbie has incredible customer service, she was so knowledgeable and so available that it would be surprising she had any other clients, she made us feel like the most important client/task of the day. We learned so much from her and are so grateful for her advice and guidance. We purchased a 100 year old home in a very competitive market and were satisfied and successful because of her efforts. Highly recommended!!!”

“Deb is the perfect realtor! She was always there to answer any questions I had and provide all types of insight regarding any property I had been interested in and the home buying process.

I highly recommend Deborah. She will be your right agent whether buying or selling. I give her a 5 star rating!”

“Delightful Long and Foster Agent. Very good at what she does.”

“Deborah was great! She was referred to me by a family member and I was not disappointed. Me and my girlfriend are fairly picky on what type of home we wanted and looked at several places. Even so, she was very courtious, patient, answered all questions, and always had a smile on her face. I will refer anyone who is looking to buy/sell their home to Deborah May! Great job!<br/><br/>-chris”

“Used Steve 10 years ago for the purchase of my first home. Connected with him again for the purchase of a new home and sale of my old home. He made the process as painless as possible. He provided timely updates and was able to negotiate a higher than listing price for the sale of my old home. Would recommend him to everyone.”

“The Northrop team and my realtor, Steven, were very supportive, responsive, and assisted with all aspects of selling my beautiful home. I would not use any other team if I was going to buy or sell another house. They were great!”
