Real Estate Reviews from Home Buyers and Sellers in East Islip & Suffolk County, NY

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.

My fiancé and I just purchased our first home this past month. We worked with Maria Aaraas of Keller Williams Realty and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Being a first time home buyer, especially in todays market, is extremely stressful but Maria made the entire process a breeze from start to finish. Maria went above and beyond to make sure that all of our needs were met and that all of our questions were answered. Maria made this such a memorable experience for us and we are so in love with our new home. Thank you Maria and the Debbie Carpluk Team!

Thank you Debbie Carpluk, Jillian Brandine and the entire Carpluk team for selling my home. They explained everything to me, were quick to respond to my text(s), answered all my questions and were with me every step of the way. I highly recommend the entire Carpluk team.

Debbie and Lara did a wonderful job, their game plan and strategy were 100% on target. Open house on first weekend generated very high volume of traffic with numerous quality offers and, most importantly, a sale!!! Would have been a complete wrap in 3 weeks if not for the Suffolk County computer issues.

I'm so glad Pam Serviss and her team were referred to me! She was so responsive and helpful, which in this type of market, meant us getting pushed out of a place or not. Because of her we were able to see a place we loved the day it hit the market and put an offer on it. I guarantee it would've gone to someone else had it not been for Pam's attentiveness. She made the whole process go so smoothly. Thank you again to her and her team!

I had an amazing experience with Janis Thomson. She is very easy to work with. Very helpful, patient and responded to all of my concerns quickly. She was very helpful on always being eager to show me houses until we finally found the right one.

We both purchased a home and sold our prior home thanks to Debra and the entire team at Carpluk realty. Debra and her staff were professional, responsive and thoughtful down to the smallest detail. They made our transition from our old home to our new home seamless and painless. We cannot thank them enough. We would highly recommend Debra without reservation.

Our family worked with Debra and her team of professionals (Andrea), who from day 1 of our meeting, blew us away with their understanding of the market and how to get the best value. Debra laid out a timeline of activities and we closed exactly as she had planned. I can highly recommend her services and will use her for all of my future needs.

This is an absolutely top notch Realty Team. Listen to them and take their suggestions. We had a great open house weekend and that's all that it took. The listing alone could've sold the house. The offers were great, Debbie and her team made sure that we understood every step in the process, and guided us all the way, even right to bank. Seriously again, take their advice! We painted rooms neutral colors, made the house live in show ready, cleaned everyday before and after showing and they even helped find contractors to fix any repairs required by the inspector. Trust in them and they'll make your listing standout and keep you informed for a very smoothing closing.
