Andrea did an excellent job! She truly knows how to be a great listing agent. She was very thorough and knowledgeable and walked me every step of the way for the sale of my house. I recommend Andrea for all kinds of real estate needs. Thank you again, Andrea.

Debbie and Maria are outstanding realtors! Their knowledge of Islip and the surrounding towns is outstanding. They were professional and attentive. They heard and valued our questions and concerns and were supportive every step of the way. Debbie and Maria were great to work with and provided sound advisement.

Janis helped me with both the selling of my house and the buying of my new one. She was there every step of the way to shorten the learning curve, and answer all my questions. She was readily accessible, always getting back to me in a timely manner when she couldn’t respond right away. She is very knowledgeable and was responsive to my needs and requests, while offering experienced advice. I appreciated her professionalism and trusted her to negotiate to get the best outcomes for me. Her research helped to inform my decisions and made me feel confident that I was going in the right direction, in good hands, and surrounded by other reliable professionals in her wide circle of contacts, such as attorneys, inspectors and accountants. It took a lot of the stress and anxiety out of deciding who to sell to and buy from. I am happy to say I got way more than I thought was possible for my house. Having someone like Janis in my corner to guide and support me through the whole process helped make it all possible. I am thrilled with the outcome and needless to say, I highly recommend her.

Janis is an excellent real estate professional and a wonderfully compassionate human being. Not only does she whole-heartedly understand what her clients are looking for, she also comes equipped with a network of equally excellent professionals for all milestones of your homebuying (or selling) journey. I truly can't recommend her enough - 5 stars & beyond!

Debbie and Lara are the hardest working real estate agents I have ever met. They saved my life and my mind, when I had to sell my cousins home and I lived three hours away. There was constant contact and all I can say is they always went above and beyond. If anyone in Long Island is in need of a team of real estate agents, you should call them. I promise, you will not be disappointed.

From beginning to end, Debbie Carpluk was wonderful to work with during the process of selling our home. Her hands-on approach and “can do (anything)” attitude made the painstaking process of selling our home pain-free. In preparing for our sale, she provided us with excellent real-time market data while also providing great recommendations for handymen, estate sale agents, electricians and more. Since we were not living in the home that we were selling, Debbie remained on call to step in at any time for anything that needed doing while we were not there. The entire transaction could not have gone more smoothly. So if you are looking for a team to seamlessly guide you through the process of either buying or selling a home, then we we highly recommend Debbie and her entire team at Keller Williams Realty Elite.

My husband and I worked with Maria Aaraas of Keller Williams Realty to purchase our home, and couldn't have been happier with our entire experience. Being first time home buyers in such a volatile market, we were very apprehensive and intimidated when beginning our search. From the day we met Maria, we knew we were in great hands. She was extremely helpful, genuine, open, transparent, and reliable through the whole process Maria truly cared about us, understood our needs, and was always available to answer our questions and put us at ease at any time of day (and we had many!) We made lifelong friends with Maria and her husband from our time spent using her as our agent! We can't thank you both enough for the time and effort you spent with us, making our first experience as easy as it was!We both are very happy with our first home and couldn’t have been more pleased with the service. We would definitely recommend the Maria and the Keller Williams Debbie Carpluk Team.

Debbie is an experienced, knowledgeable, down to earth professional. She is prepared and on time. You can reach out to her and she will get back to you in a timely manner. She has many contacts in the business. She has many resources (clean out, estate sales, pest control) Debbie and her team are there for you from listing to closing. She is confident and helpful at every turn. Her confidence helps a stressful situation be less stressful. She is a good problem solver and thinks on her feet. I would highly recommend her.

I have had 7 transactions with Debra, and she is hands down simply THE best! I have referred countless friends and family to her. She treats her clients as she would her own family. She is extremely professional and knowledgeable.

I contacted Debra to explore selling the family home in Islip Terrace of 52 years about 8 years ago, when my mother and brother expressed an interest to move closer to me in the Black Hills of South Dakota for more family support and a cheaper cost of living. Debbie provided us with comps and advice as to what was most important to get the house ready for sale when the time was right. Her knowledge and skills in her trade, positivity, and work ethic were notable from the start. My mother was very much attached to the home and decided that she preferred not to move and ultimately passed away this August in New York. As with many families, there were issues around asset allocation, family disagreements/baggage that needed to be dealt with the utmost sensitivity and compassion. Debbie absolutely exceeded expectations in this area. She set an appropriate selling price based on the condition of the property and the market, helped us (sellers) create a project plan to get the house ready to show, expertly managed the personalities involved to keep it all moving, and mitigated any factors that may have thrown a monkey wrench in the works. All of this, while being sensitive to just how emotionally difficult this was so close Mom’s passing and other “stressors” that were pulling on us as the sellers. Ultimately, the transaction closed smoothly and right on schedule. Debbie and her associates, Jillian Brandine & Joan Brandmeier did everything as promised and more. Debbie has consummate skill as a realtor, the work ethic of a tiger, and a Heart of Gold. I felt she truly understood where I was at, was a firm hand at the wheel and ALWAYS had our best interest at the forefront and had our back. I would give Debbie the highest recommendation possible. 15 out of 10!!!!!

Working with both Debbie and Joan was a total pleasure. They were there every step of the way. Debbie kept me totally informed on what was going on all the way up to the closing date. I would not hesitate to use them again. The whole staff there was help and very accommodating.

We recently sold our house and we were not sure where to start. We contacted Debra Carpluk from Keller Williams and we were not disappointed. She eased our concerns and made the overwhelming process of selling our home less stressful. Debra is knowledgeable, personable and has all the right contacts, whether you are buying or selling a home. I would highly recommend Debra Carpluk from Keller Williams as your realtor.

I have worked with many Realtor in my day and I can say Debra Carpluk was one of a kind. She was available day, night, weekends. Always ready to answer any questions. Did her home work before listing my home that sold 6/2022. She made this entire process so easy and hassle free. I highly recommend her for any sale of any type of property. You won’t be disappointed!!

Debbie and Jillian helped me purchase my first home. They took the time to take me to many viewings and answered my calls at anytime. They put us as ease during the home buying process. They made the process incredibly easy and their thorough knowledge, not only of general real estate, but of the local market made it a great pleasure throughout the whole process. Debbie & Jillian are excellent realtors and I would highly recommend to anyone.

We loved working with Joan Brandmeier — she kept us informed while our offer was being considered, helped get the deal done and then was very accommodating in providing access to the house so we could get our remodeling quotes started. It helps to go through a stressful process with a nice person — we highly recommend her!

Janis Thomson was amazing to work with! She is knowledgeable, patient and professional. We were the sellers, and she priced our house perfectly in this crazy market, gave helpful information on the entire process and we closed in a timely manner. I am confident in our choice of agents; Janis Thomson was a perfect match for us!

I was nervous about putting my house of 28 years on the market but I knew it was time to downsize. A co-worker referred me to Debra Carpluk of Keller Williams Realty Elite. Debra and Lara Barra teamed up and put my mind at ease, saying they would be with me every step of the way. My house sold in one weekend - above asking price. I was happy but knew it would be hard for me to find a ranch with a finished basement within walking distance to my job. Debra and Lara combed all the areas that would fit that criteria but to no avail. Then they went above and beyond with a mailing to homeowners with my specific needs. Lucky for me, one family contacted Lara and I was able to proceed with the purchase of my one-of-a-kind house. We are looking forward to many wonderful years there.

I was very fortunate to be able to work with Debbie and Lara. I put off selling my house because I didn't want the hassle but they made me feel comfortable and guided me every step of the way.

I had a beyond fantastic experience with Debbie Carpluk, Joan Brandmeier, and the team at Keller Williams Realty Elite! Everything went very smoothly and the team was prompt to help me with anything and everything I needed. I love this team and LOVE my new home!! I highly recommend Debbie Carpluk, Joan Brandmeier, and the team at Keller Williams Realty Elite for any and all of your real estate needs!!

Debbie and her team were extremely helpful throughout the home buying process. As first time home buyers, we had several questions along the way and Debbie was always quick to respond and was very knowledgeable on all topics. The entire process was easy and smooth thanks to Debbie and team. We are so grateful they helped us find our perfect first home.

Did what other agents couldn’t do!
We were listed for over 5 years until Kristen Moriarty took over our property. We knew she was the one we were waiting for. In less than 3 months we were in contract. She sold our unit. We should have connected with her sooner! Kristen was very professional and kept us informed at all times. We highly recommend her! She made it very easy and painless to part with our home.
