I cant imagine a better experience with a realtor than what we had with Deb. First and foremost she is a good human. Trustworthy and professional down to every detail. And she knows the area better than anyone because shes a neighbor and truly embodies that in her approach. Kindness AND the acumen to take us to the finish line with an offer WELL above asking. It doesnt get much better than that. But it does! Because Deb also surrounds herself with a team of experts who are the best of the best. From financing to staging, she had a highly talented person for us to work with. Lastly, its been 3 months since we sold our house and we are still in contact with Deb and her team. The relationship wasnt just a transaction to her. Shes a true neighbor in spirit. We feel fortunate. 2023
Selling a home is stressful. Selling a home without having planned on selling a home is crazy. Luckily, Deb Kotlarz & team were identified for us by a trusted friend and fellow realtor. I knew our friend would only refer us to the best but Deb & her phenomenal team went above and beyond every step of the way to make our home sale a smooth one.
Here's the setup of how we came to work with the Kotlarz Group--- we fell in love with a home that was for sale and to our surprise, the offer was accepted....without a home sale contingency.... we hadn't even been looking to move ... so when we reached out to identify our home sale realtor, Deb, didn't bat an eye at our aggressive timeline or our clutter filled home with multiple partially completed home improvement projects. She committed to do her best for us and help us along the way .... It started with consultation, a guideline of steps to take and what to expect in the process, who to call for what, plans/strategy on how to achieve top dollar, a commitment to partnership through the process, recommendations for minor home improvements, contacts to help with those improvements. An eagle-eyed home stager (arranged by the Kotlarz group) provided actionable feedback that was organized and allowed us to run down a list of things to do without many (any) questions. The Kotlarz team checked in regularly to keep us on track and encouraged in the chaos of packing / moving / preparing / plus a busy life.... The sales team was realistic and optimistic about the sale and I trusted we would get the best sale price with the support of the Kotlarz team. In less than a month and a half from deciding to sell, the house was on the market and we had an offer in hand by day 3 (over asking with few contingencies, and above our expectations). Through the showing / sale process, we were traveling so the Kotlarz team even stepped in to make sure our cat didn't get locked in closets or in the garage after showings. The Kotlarz team is the best of the best with wonderful professionals --- the photographer, the office manager, the sales manager, the closing manager --- everyone!
While I hope to not sell a home again for a long time, I would, without hesitation, work with the Kotlarz group again.
Deborah and her team were wonderful to work with, so thorough, detail orientated and professional. Couldn't have had a smoother experience. Highly recommend. 2023
I worked with Deb on the preparation and sale of my home in Bolton, this past spring, and I know for a fact that I made the right choice in working with her. My criteria for a seller's agent were pretty straightforward - a solid reputation, as well as lots of "Sale Pending" / "Sold" signs with their name on them around town.
Deb met both those criteria. I connected with her a couple of years ago, when my partner and I were planning to sell the house. But that never materialized due to health issues. This past spring, after my partner passed in January (and I finally made up my mind to sell), I reached out to Deb, who was a God-send. Truly. I wanted to be out of the house quickly, and the whole process felt incredibly overwhelming.
Not only had the market changed dramatically in the past 18 months, but the house needed more updates than it had a few years prior. Deb was ready with suggestions on how to best position my property for the most advantageous sale under for new market. She also connected me with a team of service providers... from a professional organizer... to an amazing stager... to a bath remodeler... to an interior/exterior painter... to a handyman who was a dream to work with... all of whom were keenly aware that time was of the essence. "Team Kotlarz" was wonderful, and her office didn't just provide admin support. They where there for me in just the ways I needed them to be, when I needed them. I was confident at every step that I could depend on Deb and her whole extended team to get me to the finish line on what was a tight schedule. She walked me through each step of the process (including her spot-on marketing approach) like the pro that she is.
Net result is that my house sold in 4 days, over the asking price. The buyers tell me they're loving the place, and as hard as it was to leave Bolton after 20 years, it was the right choice. So was choosing Deb Kotlarz as my seller's agent. 2023
Deb and her entire team are nothing short of phenomenal. This is now the second property that they have sold for us and both experiences could not have been any better. From beginning to end, they make the process seamless. Debs experience always shines through. She has such a strong understanding of the market and individual nuances with every property she lists. With great expertise, she is able to develop unique and successful strategies for each of her listings to obtain a profitable and timely sale. Her negotiation skills are second to none. We always felt that she had our best interest in mind and she truly delivered. The entire team is easy to work with and detail oriented and all share the same commitment and work ethic. You can rest easy because you can be certain that they will be on top of every detail and ensure everything is complete. It has been such a pleasure working with the Kotlarz Group and we would never consider working with anyone else. 2023
Deb was recommended to us by our acquaintance when we were looking to sell the old house and to buy a new one. Our first communication was over Zoom in the middle of the pandemic. We told her about our expectations. She shared her knowledge of the housing market, her company's running methods and introduced her team. To avoid conflict of interest, she became our seller's agent and a member of her team became our buyer's agent. I was impressed by her professionalism, and I felt comfortable to work with her.
The whole process of selling the house is organized. It was outlined to us from the beginning. At every step, we were given a proper reminder and presented with right information and quality services, such as house inspection, picture taking, etc. For home improvement, we received nice suggestions. As a finishing touch, the recommended stager did a fabulous job. During the showing, our house looked impressive.
When it came to the listing time, Deb's detailed analysis allowed us to set an attractive selling price. Thanks to her sharp sense of the market, we sold our house with a good price.
We are happy that we had Deb as our agent!!! Fantastic experience with her and her team. 2022
My wife and I had a wonderful experience working with Deb. She had knowledge, skills, and abilities to give suggestions for staging of our house, pictures, improvements to the bathrooms, etc., and documentation to sell our house for the highest possible in the market. It was a pleasure to work with Deb and her entire team. Thank you. 2022
Deb and her team helped us through each step of the process of selling our home with professional, informative and considerate assistance. Their step-by-step approach helped to make something that can be overwhelming a process that was easy to manage. They communicated with us regularly and were responsive to any questions we had. Each team member had a specific role and played it well at the time when it was needed. We highly recommend the Kotlarz Property Group to manage the sale of your home. 2022
We could not be happier that we engaged Deb and her team to sell our home. Their experience, reliability, and unflappability allowed us accomplish the daunting tasks of staging, upgrading (within reason), and readying the house for sale. The house looked beautiful and Deb worked hard to find the right buyer. The concept of return on investment was fully realized in their competent hands. Any potential pitfalls we experienced between P&S to closing were anticipated and avoided. These kind and capable people helped us realize our goal. 2022
Cleaning out your childhood home, staging, and selling it is among the most stressful things you will endeavor to do in your life. Thanks to Deb and her team, we did it seamlessly and in record time. Not only did Deb sell the house within a week of it going on the market, but she sold it for well over our asking price in a bidding war that she expertly negotiated. In addition to Debs professionalism, market expertise, and savvy negotiation skills, her team provides meticulous service that goes above and beyond. From completing seller disclosures with you and obtaining missing documents and certifications to providing staging, pre-market inspections, and beautiful photography services, Deb, Marie, and Carol do it all. So, if youre planning to sell your home, choose Kotlarz Realty and do exactly what Deb tells you to do. You can thank me later.
Best Real Estate Transaction ever!!! From start to finish Deb Kotlarz and her team were fantastic! What a difference it makes when you have Deb and her team helping every step of the way, from listing, staging, open house and even delivering boxes for packing!!! Very professional, excellent service. 2021
We approached Deb with a seemingly impossible task. After finding our dream home on the market, we knew we wanted to sell our current home and we needed to sell fast to secure our new home. Deb assured us it was possible! Using all of her resources and team, she was able to set us up for success. From helping with photos, recommending amazing resources such as plumbers and electricians, we were able to get our house on the market only a couple weeks after first talking to Deb. The process was flawless and every roadblock we came across Deb had a solution. The first weekend the house was on the market we had multiple offers, all over asking. We were able to accept an offer, and secure our new home. We know none of this would be possible without Deb, her team and extensive knowledge of the real estate industry. 2021
My husband met Deborah about five years ago. We have three sons that go to the same school as her son. And, from moment my husband met her he knew she was an EXCELLENT realtor. He would see her for sale signs all over town and even in a SLOW market five years ago an under agreement sign went up days later - she is just that good. What makes her even more special is she has the I-95 Tech Belt audience and her Realty office sits in Concord, MA. Where as local Bolton realtors don't have that market pull; they just don't. Our home sold fast and although secretly we wanted a higher price than our original list price - SHE DELIVERED!! We had received 8 offers in the span of four days of listing and we went under agreement a day later. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a polished, exceptional, PROFESSIONAL realtor who also dresses the part. Not to mention, her team was AMAZING to work with - they made the process of selling our home EASY!! They were professional, thorough, detailed, and patient when need be. MANY THANKS FOR AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!! 2021
Working with Deb and her team to sell our home was amazing. They have the process down to a science. They truly took a stressful, process and made it simple and streamlined. After only 2 days of showings, we had multiple great offers! 2021
Deb and her team where super professional through the entire selling process. They had great knowledge about our community, current market conditions and how best to sell our house. Deb was responsive too all the things that come up in Selling a home. We would strongly recommend Deb to our friends and will be using Deb for any future buying and/or selling activities. 2021
Six stars for Kotlarz realty! Amazing team Deb, Marie, Carol and Cindy. We were downsizing after 35 years in our home, a emotional process. Kotlarz realty felt like family, they went above and beyond to do their best for us! Trust in their years of knowledge and experience, professionalism, the step by step guidance thru each phase of the selling process you will not be disappointed! 2021
Deb and her team did an amazing job selling my house. I got numerous offers and it sold well above asking price. Marie, the listing manager, was phenomenal It was pretty emotional for me to sell after raising my kids in the house and living there for 21 years. Marie was so helpful throughout the entire process. I highly recommend. 2021
From beginning to end, Deb and her group on your side. No matter which aspect of selling a house confronts you, they are there with the answers and support. Simply put, they are professional , knowledgeable, energetic, conscientious, supportive and just plain nice, caring people. No mountain was high enough for them to climb. I am just so grateful to all! 2020
My wife and I just recently purchased a new home and sold our condo with the help of Kotlarz Property Group and we cannot recommend them enough.
Deb (our selling agent) and Pam (our buying agent) were incredibly professional and carefully walked us through each step of what can be a complicated and stressful time. We felt comfortable and prepared as we progressed through buying our home and selling our condo. The team always made themselves available to answer questions and provide updates. Administratively, Kotlarz Property Group have every angle covered- whether you are buying or selling property, they left no stone unturned. As a result, we consistently knew and were reminded that we were in capable hands. Kotlarz Property Group even went so far as to help connect us with local plows and handymen after moving into our new home going above and beyond our expectations!
Special thanks to Deb, Pam, Vittoria, and Carol for your help through the process and attention to detail. If you are looking for a full service realty team, look no further than Kotlarz Property Group! 2021
Deb Kotlarz and her entire team were such a dream to work with! They all worked together to make the buying and selling process for us completely seamless. We were thrilled with the outcome on both the buying and selling end. And to top it off they are just the nicest people. Highly recommend them! 2020
Deb is excellent and amazing to work with. She surrounds herself with an excellent and knowledgeable team and has many resources to get your house on the market and sell for top dollar. She is also great in an emergency. Close to our closing date, I had a broken pipe in my basement. I spoke with her and a team member and they set me up with a reasonably priced plumber who took care of the problem with in 24 hours. 2020
WOW! I really dont know what else I could say to sum my experience up better. From the moment I contacted Deb and her team in a frenzy to put in a last-minute offer on the home of my dreams, to the moment they sold my current house just two weeks later (35k over ask), it was a flawless experience. Deb and her team are consummate professionals, empathetic listeners, and fighters for your cause. You will never do better then her team. Whether you are looking to buy, sell, or both, this is the team that will get it done in time, and beyond your expectations. 2020
Deb and her team were exceptionally accessible, knowledgeable and professional through every step of selling our home. She priced it right and we sold it within just a few days! We couldnt have asked for a better experience. 2020
Deb and her team took over the sale of our house after two failed attempts by another realtor. Though obviously an experienced realtor, she made no assumptions and invested a lot of time finding out what we liked about the house - why we chose to buy it - and she crafted a thorough marketing strategy catering to the right kind of buyer. The bottom line is that she was able to sell our house and get us a full asking price offer after others had failed twice. We thoroughly enjoyed working with her team, whose members were always polite and respectful, yet persistent and well organized. I recommend Deb unreservedly and will certainly utilize her services again should I ever buy or sell another property. 2019
Deborah was invaluable to me in the selling of my antique family home. She listened carefully to my concerns, and answered all my questions kindly and thoughtfully. She and her team responded quickly to any phone call or message regardless of the day or the hour and were supportive throughout the process She also provided all the services I needed to prep my home for sale including a pre-inspection, staging, and references for great service providers, even following through with them to insure work was done as needed and on time! Her excellent photographers and sales team did outstanding work marketing the house and showcasing it's assets. Deborah's great expertise and knowledge of the area, and her wonderful negotiating skills resulted in several offers the first week and a final sale at above asking price. I could not have asked for more or better! 2019
We chose to work with Deb to sell our home in Harvard after a disappointing experience last year with another realtor. Given our prior experience, we reviewed online sales data, interviewed several realtors, and checked in with references before making our decision on a new realtor. Deb and her team were a clear choice. We got expert advice on preparing our house for the market, including staging. They did a great job of marketing with beautiful, highly professional pictures (including drone photos and Matterport videos), brochures, and web marketing. Long story short, we had an accepted offer (over asking) plus backup offers by the end of the first weekend of showings/open houses. Deb handled the negotiations and a couple of glitches that came up skillfully. She and her team made sure that we were prepared for and supported in each step of a relatively quick time to close. We are grateful to Deb and her team for making a stressful process as easy as it could possibly be and would highly recommend them to anyone considering selling their home in Harvard. 2019
You shouldn't even consider working with anyone but Deb in this neck of the woods. She's a true expert - she guided us flawlessly though both the purchase of our new home and the sale of our old home. Our house went on the market and within 5 days of the listing, we had 30+ private showings and 200++ people at the Open Houses that Saturday and Sunday. We received 8 offers by the end of the weekend and Deb provided sage advice on how to manage it all. She recommended an electrician, a haul-away guy, an attorney, an affordable home stager, and someone to come and do a quick inspection pre-market. She priced it right and we couldn't be happier, start to finish. 2019
Deb is simply the best! She and her team are knowledgeable, organized, helpful, and just plain wonderful to work with. She was able to secure us an above asking price offer within days of hitting the market. Everything was detailed out every step of the way. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Deb and her team! 2018
We were really pleased with the outstanding, specialized services that Deb and her team provided to help us to sell our house. This included outstanding, specialized services such as staging assistance and pre-inspection. She connected us with a wealth of local resources to help us organize, clean out and get our home updates done to maximize our ultimate sale price. The marketing materials showed our house to its absolute best. Debs negotiation skills and knowledge of the Bolton market are top notch. 2018
We worked with Deb Kotlarz and the Kotlarz Realty Group to sell our house in Bolton, and we highly recommend them for your real estate needs. In our experience, the Kotlarz team is unique in terms of combining full expertise, commitment, and the full-service resources that make for a successful and stress-reduced experience. Deb Kotlarz clearly knows her business and her market, but what really sets her apart is the commitment to act on that knowledge, putting her own resources and time behind the effort. And she has put together the perfect team to care for every aspect of selling a house. This comprehensive commitment resulted in our case in a sale of our house over list price and within a week of listing. We couldnt recommend the Kotlarz Realty Group more highly. 2018
From our first meeting and through every step of the process of selling my parents' home, Deb and her team were organized and professional. My sister and I received expert guidance and advice, from staging the house to providing all of the necessary information to ensure that our family home was ready for the market. Deb and her team promptly responded to our questions as they came up, and guided us through the completion of the sale. I could not have asked for a better experience, and I give Deb and her team my highest recommendation.
Deb was wonderful to work with. Her knowledge level and area expertise helped make the selling of our house an easy process. I would highly recommend Deb for any real estate transaction. Everything was explained thoroughly and was a please to work with from the initial meeting to the closing. 2018
Deb was great start to finish. She made the process of our home sale easy on us, and was always extremely responsive to our questions. We were lucky to have Deb on our side, and should we sell a home in the future, I undoubtedly will turn to Deb. 2018
Deb is amazing to work with. I am a organized person, and love working with someone who is like minded. She and her team guided us through the process in such an efficient manner, making a stressful time a little less so. She initially identified all of our needs, goals, and desires and worked to attain those through the entire process. She brought in a stager who helped us prepare the home, and a professional photographer who not only took amazing pictures, but also did a "walk through" video of our home. This culminated in extensive online representation, and marketing literature that was beautiful. The end result-we had 3 offers the first weekend! Because of Deb's great negotiation skills under this situation, we were extremely pleased with the outcome. She did a great job working on our behalf. She knows what she is doing! Deb also has a good understanding of the emotional piece of selling a home-she is more than just a realtor. Even though I was moving to something wonderful, it was tough leaving my home of 25 years, where I had raised my kids. She understood that and helped me through that hurdle also, keeping me focused on my goals and what I want from my life. I would be remiss to not mention the team that she has in her office. There was someone there to guide you stepwise through the process all the time. At each step, there was someone uniquely suited to that process to assist you-whether it was getting your home ready to sell, or all that needed to be done after the offer was accepted. You knew immediately who to reach out to any day or time, and always got an answer quickly. I appreciated the detailed written instructions explaining what to accomplish and how to do so at each stage. I felt they were patient and understanding of the difficult process that is selling a house. I would highly recommend Deb and her team. They were the best. 2017
We recently closed on our home with the expert help from Deb Kotlartz and her team of professionals. We can't say enough about the exceptional service we received. They were always responsive in giving us much need advice and guidance throughout the whole process. We had an immediate offering during our first open house and it was substantially more than our asking price. We closed less than a month later. The whole process was painless. We will most certainly be advising our friends to give Deb a call if they want a real professional 2017
It's always a stressful experience selling your home but when we engaged Deb to sell our home on Powder Hill Road we had already agreed to buy another home with a closing in 45 days so a smooth and efficient sale was important to us. n nFrom day one Deb impressed with her professionalism and level of preparation. In my professional life I manage a large engineering team and Deb brought the same project management skills I see in my best project managers. In addition to her own deep understanding of the market and how to best promote the sale of our home she has built a team of professionals and a process which ensures a smooth transition through all stages of the sales process. Prior to the sale this included an expert stager who provided succinct easy to follow direction on how to best present our house, informed advice on what renovations/improvements would provide the best payback, top class photographers who really captured the best aspects of our home (including an awesome virtual tour) and a professional brochure. n nAs to results - we had our first offer the morning before our first open house and closed the sale a day later for over our asking price. Deb and her team's input did not end there however; her professional approach continued with a clear set of steps to complete the sales process including clearly communicating to us what we need to do and when. Again she has specialists who handle each step of the process ensuring it all runs like clockwork. n nOverall I could not recommend Deb and her team more highly. 2016
Deb and her team sold our house in a difficult market. Because of our price range and existing HOA fees, we were concerned about any potential sale. We listened to her advice and with the help of her home stager and professional photographer, our house showed beautifully and sold in a relatively short time. nI would refer Deb and her team without hesitation. A process that can be stressful and time consuming, was positive and productive for us. It was refreshing working with a professional who got the job done! 2016
It was a please to work with Deb in the purchase of our home. Everything went smoothly and professionally. Communication between agents, seller and us was responsive, clear and greatly appreciated. Appreciated her expertise and knowledge regarding the property and community. We would highly recommend Deb! 2015
