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

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.

Debra and Andrea came up with a strategy to get maximum exposure for my listing, resulting immediately in multiple offers, house sold very quickly for a good price, couldn’t have asked for more professional, competent team.

Debra Carpluk, Lara Barra, and their team made the process of selling our Long Island home, a very positive, easy, and an upbeat memorable experience. A lot of time, effort, and professional experience resulted in a positive successful outcome. We were offered and appreciated the suggestions they gave us which resulted in attracting multiple buyers and offers. We’ve been in our home for 50 years and they understood the sentimentality we felt. The genuine care we were given made us feel very comfortable. They were always ready and able to respond very quickly with professional guidance to any concerns we had. They were right there for us every step of the way. If you need real estate services, you won’t find anyone more qualified and caring than Debra and Lara. Call them when you’re ready at: Keller Williams Realty Elite (631)335-0316 .

Janis Thomson is super responsive to calls and texts. Always kept me informed to the next right step and also the next 10 steps needed at all times. Not only was she knowledgeable professionally but also just a great human being and a pleasure to work with. She’s one of those people that once you work with, you don’t want to stay out of touch and also always comes to mind when someone you know needs a realtor. Highly recommend.

Debbie Carpluk and Jillian Brandine, or as I call them the “Dynamic Duo” These awesome women have given my husband and I the greatest experience ever as our real estate agents. Our house was on the market and sold within three months, and OVER asking Price! We cannot speak highly enough of Debbie and Jillian. Their professionalism, knowledge, integrity, and hard work ethics are admired, appreciated, and respected. Debbie and Jillian are honest and good with people. They navigated well through complexities to our best interest. Debbie and Jillian paid great attention to detail and provided excellent tips on making the proper adjustment that would bring our home to its highest selling potential. Selling your home can be very stressful, however Debbie and Jillian were great at answering questions and helping to provide peace and tranquility. We love and trust Debbie and Jillian so much, we recommend these wonderful women highly, and will continue to refer them to our friends and family. Thank you again Debbie and Jillian, you have made it possible for my husband and I to buy the home of our dreams!

Debbie is absolutely amazing. If you want a relator who listens to you and knows everyone and anyone then you need to call her. The woman's got passion and dedication!! She takes the time from her extremely busy schedule to listen to her clients. During our first meeting she asked us many questions to find out exactly what we were looking for in home. She signed us up for a daily email blast which alerted us of listings tailored to our criteria. She called us the moment she heard of new listings she knew would be perfect for our family. Debbie never wasted our time showing us houses that were not right for us. She made a very stressful experience fun and exciting! If you are looking to buy or sell then you absolutely need to call Debbie & her team!

Debbie & Lara at Keller Williams are absolutely amazing. They take the time to listen to their buyers and find out exactly what the buyer is looking for. They didn't waste our time looking at houses that were not right for our family (which previous realtors did). After a 5 minute conversation with Debbie we were signed up for daily listings tailored to our criteria. Throughout the process we were in constant contact with them. They took the time from their very busy schedules to show us new listings and made us feel like family. Debbie & Lara made our first house buying experience fun, stress-free & exciting!

Janis has the patience of a saint with a great sense of humor. She is easy to talk to and easier to work with! She helped me find my place and didn’t waste time on places I didn’t want to see or were not interest in. She is a true professional!!!

We can't say enough about Debbie Carpluk, Maria Aarass and their whole team! From start to finish they were on top of things. It's not everyday that you sell your house, so you need someone with rock solid experience. They were very reassuring during a stressful transition for us as we were downsizing. They were very knowledgeable and professional. Highly recommend!!!

Outstanding job! Couldn't have had a better real estate agent!

5 stars all the way for this real estate rock star! From the moment they walked in the door to the moment we handed the keys over (and beyond) Debbie and Lara treated us like family. Being out of town while my elderly mom sold a house for the first time ever could have been a daunting experience. But Debbie and Lara swooped right in and took care of every little detail, including calling service companies for repairs and handling the billing. Debbie thoroughly did her homework for housing price trends in the area so that my mom’s house was set at the right price. Debbie used her proven strategies to get us multiple offers and our acceptance of one full market price offer within 4 days of listing. From there it was smooth sailing. Debbie and Lara have contacts in every profession so anyone we needed to hire (real estate lawyer, roofing professional) they were able to set up. They communicated clearly with us every step of the way so there were no surprises. Closing in under 2 months, we felt like this dynamic duo had become our friends in that short amount of time. I highly recommend using Debbie and Lara to buy or sell your home.

There truly aren't enough words to express how incredible Janis Thomson has been to work with throughout our home buying journey. We are first time home buyers and were honestly completely overwhelmed trying to take on the process by ourselves. However once we connected with Janis, our entire experience changed for the better. She dedicated so much time and effort to help us find the right home for us. Not only is she an incredibly talented Realtor but one of the most kind people we have ever met. We feel so lucky and grateful to have had her support through such an important step in our lives. Wether you are selling, buying your first home or looking for a new one - we truly recommend working with Janis and the Carpluk team. After your first call with Janis or Debbie, you'll already understand why!
