We have been working with Debbie for over 20 plus years. Debbie and her team have sold multiple properties for us. Debbie and her team have come through with all offers much higher than asking price for each of those properties. All offerers made were in days of listing those properties. Debbie and her teams guidance with recommendations on how to stage our properties was the answers to those offers. Her loyalty, honesty, and professionalism is above commendable. Her compassion to serve not only her customers but the community speaks volumes. The question is "Why wouldn't you want Debbie and her team take care of selling your home"? We want to thank Andrea for her expertise and professionalism. A person who represents selling properties honesty with integrity and pure love for what she does. Give Debbie and team a try you won't be disappointed!!!

We couldn’t be more grateful to Debbie and Maria at Keller Williams Realty for helping us through the entire home-buying process. From day one they were incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, patient, and genuinely invested in helping us find the right home. They made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and exciting. Even when things got complicated, they were there to guide us, advocate for us, and make sure everything stayed on track. Buying a home is such a huge decision, and having the right realtors makes all the difference. We always felt like we were in the best hands and had someone looking out for us every step of the way.
We are so thankful for all of their hard work and dedication. If you’re looking for realtors who truly care about their clients and go the extra mile, Debbie and Maria are the ones! ❤️

Janis my realtor has been with me and guiding me through a long difficult journey in finding my next home. She is always cheerful and goes above my wildest expectations. Finally closed on my new home and couldn't be happier. She is very knowledgeable about the LI real estate market and does her best to find you the items on your wish list. I would highly recommend her for your real estate needs.

We met Debbie by chance when we decided to go in a random open house. Im so glad we went in!!! Debbie greeted us and made us feel comfortable. She took her time to explain the whole home buying process and answered all of our questions along the way. Once we began the house hunting process, Pam Serviss also assisted. Debbie and Pam were an amazing team and in constant contact with us. In a few months we found our home. Debbie and Pam made the process so smooth. Even after the closing they still reach out and have become like family to us! We love the Carpluk team! (Especially Debbie and Pam) We cannot recommend them enough!!!

Selling our family home was an emotional and overwhelming experience. From our very first conversation, the Debbie Carpluk Team showed us genuine kindness, compassion, and patience. They didn’t just guide us through the process — they stood with us through every step.
Their dedication to meeting our needs went far beyond what we ever expected. They handled every detail with care, communicated clearly, and worked tirelessly to sell our home in record time. Need a plumber, cleaner, or mover? Debbie has trusted connections. Want someone to listen attentively to stories about raising a family in your home? Kristen will give you her undivided attention. Have a question about building code? This team has the answer.
Each person on Debbie’s team made us feel supported, respected, and truly cared for. If you want to work with a knowledgeable agent who has the drive to get things done — and a team that backs her up every step of the way — look no further.

I had an outstanding experience working with Keller Williams Realty Elite while purchasing my first home. Debbie Carpluk and Jessica Belsito were absolutely amazing throughout the entire process. As a first-time homebuyer, I had a lot of questions and wasn't sure what to expect. Debbie and Jessica made every step easy to understand, took the time to explain everything clearly, and always made themselves available whenever I needed guidance. Their professionalism, knowledge, and patience helped make what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. From start to finish, everything went seamlessly, and I always felt supported and at ease. I truly appreciate the care and dedication they showed throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Keller Williams Realty Elite, especially Debbie Carpluk and Jessica Belsito. They earned every one of these five stars, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Debbie and the Carpluk Team were amazing from start to finish! Debbie made finding a property and figuring out round about cost super easy. Debbie and her team makes you feel like a priority and are always available. Phone calls were returned in a timely manner and all questions I had were answered fully. Do yourself a favor and GO WITH DEBBIE and THE CARPLUK TEAM

This is my second time working with Janis and it’s always a trip! She super fun to work with and adds humor, joy, and levity to an otherwise stressful and taxing experience. At times, it was the best of times and other times it was the worst of times. Many highs and many lows that come with house shopping but in the end she found us the most perfect home and she never gave up on my dream even when I wanted to.

I cannot say enough about how amazing it was working with Debbie and Andrea. From my initial visit all the way to closing they were beyond expectations. Going into the experience I was extremely overwhelmed and not knowledgeable in the realty world. They helped me understand every step of the process. They were both very responsive to all of my questions and were always on top of any new listings for me. I would recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell on Long Island.

Working with Debbie, Jillian and the whole team at Keller Williams was an excellent experience from start to finish. They were professional, knowledgeable and always available whenever we had a question. They kept us informed every step of the way and genuinely cared about achieving the best outcome for us. It was a pleasure working with them both times we've sold our homes. Each process was smooth and stress-free. I've referred them to many of my friends and family, and all of them have walked away very pleased. If you want honest, hardworking and dedicated real estate professionals, look no further! I highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Working with Debbie was truly exceptional. From the very beginning, she made the entire selling process feel effortless and low stress. Debbie has a combination of professionalism and compassion, and she was especially wonderful with the elderly homeowner, putting them fully at ease. Her communication was outstanding, as was her follow-through. Every single thing she said would happen did, and always when she said it would. That level of trust, consistency, and care is priceless. We could not have imagined a better agent and would recommend Debbie without hesitation to anyone who wants a smooth selling experience.

Janis walked us through every step in the process of selling our home. She was very knowledgeable about how to do it all and was with us all the way. I would highly recommend calling on her when you’re ready to make the move! You won’t regret it.

I truly cannot say enough good things about Debbie Carpluk and her team of highly trained professionals. This is a true professional who treats you like family and who knows how to ask all the right questions when showing a house which is absolutely critical. She really knows all the little details to ask which I really appreciated since I don’t know anything about anything or even how to ask if something is good or not. She has so much experience and it really shows during her showings. She was interested in getting the best house for us, taking her time explaining everything (sometimes more
Than once so we could understand)and never pressuring us for anything at all. I really appreciated that and I recommend her and her team to anyone looking to buy or sell a house.

Debra Carpluk and Andrea Paredes are FIVE STAR!!! I have been a client of the theirs for years! They treat their clients like family, which is why I recommend them to everyone looking to buy or sell a home. They guided me in every right direction when I purchased my first home. Years later, they continued to guide and support me in selling that same home, for a profitable amount, in record time! They are ALWAYS a phone call away. They are consistently professional and have expertise that no one can compare to. I would never use or recommend another team! Carpluk kid for life. Love these ladies!!

Debbie and Maria helped my wife and I find and purchase a house in NY after we sold our previous house in CT with a different realtor. The experience of working with Debbie and Maria was premier. They had a great understanding of our needs and were always available. Each time we looked at a house of interest, the true professionalism shined. As conversations took place with some of the seller realtors, it was immediately apparent that Debbie and Maria are on an entirely different level. They were so much more knowledgeable than every other realtor we talked with and held a level of professionalism that was excellent to work with. They were kind, but yet really went out of way to get us what we want. They took matters into their own hands with pushing the other side of the deal just the right amount to make the deal happen, and happen fast. They have excellent resources / connections to help every step of the way. Debbie and Maria also helped my sister with her house purchase and her experience was equally incredible. Five stars simply is not enough to give Debbie and Maria. If it was a 100 star system, it still wouldn’t be enough. I can’t imagine a scenario of someone ever being displeased with their service. If you made it this far in this review, and are contemplating a realtor selection, it would be a mistake to look any further. You couldn’t possibly be in better hands.

My first experience selling a home with Debbie and her team was absolutely excellent. The amount of time and effort that was put into this transaction was above and beyond. The initial listing photos were amazing and the whole process was as close to seamless as can be expected. Great job by all!!!

Debbie and Maria are amazing! They are professional and attentive and always remained in direct contact with us while our house was on the market. They heard and valued our questions and concerns. Debbie and Maria were with us every step of the way. One of their best qualities is that they are nice people and easy to work with!

What can I say about Debbie Carpluk and her team? Well first of all if you are anything like myself and have anxiety about the process of selling your home then Debbie and her team will put all your worry to rest! I had the pleasure to meet Joan Brandmeier for my very 1st meeting with the team. Right from day 1, I knew I was in good hands. I was in my home in Bayshore for 33 years. Putting my house up for sale with the idea of moving to Florida was a bit overwhelming but something I had been contemplating for awhile. With the news of my Floridian daughter expecting a baby I knew it was time to make the move and these ladies were there for me EVERY step of the way! The professionalism and knowledge together as a team was outstanding but the compassion and patience that was provided to me during my anxious moments well that made a world of difference in keeping my sanity through a difficult time. ABOVE and BEYOND service doesn’t even begin to describe these incredible women. Of course there were many others on the team that were right up there with these ladies. Above all if I had to
sum it up in a few words the entire team including of course Debbie and Joan I would have to say the communication received was excellent! I highly recommend Debbie Carpluk & Joan Brandmeier and the entire team to anyone thinking about selling or buying property.

I had an extremely positive experience with Debbie, Janis and the rest of the Debbie Carpluk team. Everyone was incredibly professional, knowledgeable and proactive about responding to my questions and needs. Debbie brings a wealth of experience and energy to the sales process, and she oversees her team with enthusiasm and skilled proficiency. Her proactive approach and excellent communication resulted in my family receiving an excellent price for our house, and everyone was pleased with the final outcome. I strongly endorse this team, and I have already recommended them to a friend of mine.

My brother and I recently worked with Lara to sell my mother’s home, and I cannot say enough about the exceptional experience we had. From start to finish, Lara was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly thorough. She guided us through every step of the process with a level of expertise and sophistication that was truly second to none.
What stood out most was her genuine care and compassion. This wasn’t just a real estate transaction for us - it was a very personal and emotional process and Lara handled everything with such sensitivity and understanding.
Her attention to detail, strong communication, and commitment to achieving the best outcome made all the difference. I would highly recommend Lara to anyone looking for a real estate professional who combines exceptional skill with grace.
