Deborah Valentino, Real Estate Agent at Houlihan Lawrence, Yonkers - Yonkers, New York

It was a pleasure having Deborah Valentino as our realtor. She was highly recommended by a family member.
It was a difficult decision to move after living in our home for 46 years, but Deborah made it seem so easy. She guided us every step of the way from giving us ideas to how our home should look for photos to the closing. Deborah often kept in contact with us and even explained legal jargon with our lawyer for us.
I would definitely recommend Deborah if you’re buying or selling a home. She not only was our realtor but she became a great friend!

Debra is the upmost professional while working with her to sell a family property. Debra was fluent with the laws and ordinances in the city of the property, and made the transition very smooth. Any problems that came up were quickly resolved by Debra leading up to the closing. We had tenants residing on the property, and Debra couldn’t be more sensitive to their needs while showing the property. My wife and I were very pleased with the handling of the sale.

My wife Francine and I recently sold our home at 440-1 North Broadway in Yonkers, and purchased our new home in Yorktown Heights. Our broker during this process was Deborah Valentino. We cannot express enough how extremely pleased we were with both Deborah and her associate Jhoenny Malu Gonzalez-Fernandez! Deborah was a complete professional, explaining every aspect of the process, answering every question we had and making herself available at all times! Her knowledge of the real estate business is truly impressive. She made us feel at ease at all times, and truly had our best interests in mind. She was in contact with us throughout, alleviating any stress or anxiety we may have had. We were completely satisfied with her services, and are completely thrilled in our new home! Jhoenny was absolutely wonderful as well! She also answered all our questions completely and really was professional and helpful throughout. We would wholeheartedly recommend Deborah and Jhoenny to any of our family or friends that are considering selling or purchasing a home! Thanks again for all your help! We truly appreciate it!

I can’t say enough about Deborah. She took the frightening experience of selling my home after 34 years and made it beyond quick and easy. She was there for every step required. I felt i had to do nothing but show up and sign (and collect the $$$). I recommend her HIGHLY.

I was tasked with selling my parents house in New York recently. As an out of state seller, trying to sell a house that was over a hundred years old, I viewed it as a daunting task.

I interviewed prospective investors and Deborah Valentino of Houlihan Lawrence and after our initial meeting I decided that Deborah was my only choice! At our first meeting, Deborah was very well prepared. She provided an overview of real estate market conditions, comps in the area, provided a sale price and we discussed some of the potential problems in selling an old house. All throughout the process Deborah was always upbeat and positive and made me feel much more comfortable even when we faced a few potential roadblocks.

Deborah went above and beyond from day one! She used her knowledge and experience to assist me in preparing the house for sale, arranging for repairs that had to be made to get the house up to code and resolving some unique issues that are inherent in a older house. She returned calls and emails promptly, was very easy to work with and we worked very well together. I would like to feel that we became friends during the process!

I received multiple offers on the house and it was on the market for a much shorter time than I expected. I credit this to Deborah's breadth of knowledge and experience of market conditions, the location of the house, local contractors, local authorities, etc. She made a seemingly overwhelming task manageable and achieved a great result. I would highly recommend Deborah Valentino because I think she is a "best in class" realtor and person and she puts the seller's interest first!

I am very thankful for choosing Debbie Valentino to sell my mom’s cooperative apartment. Debbie is a professional in every way possible and will take the extra time to make sure that you are comfortable with all the challenges that come your way during the sale process. Her knowledge of all aspects of the business are valuable as she will share her knowledge and help you with any questions along the way.
Working with Debbie Valentino has been an easy and stress free process.
Thanks Debbie 😃

I don't even know where to begin. Deborah's professionalism and knowledge of the market was and is spot-on!

When I initially contacted Deborah to list my southern Westchester, NY property for listing she came and did her assessment along with finding out some background for the home. She made multiple visits even before we signed any contracts. We ultimately decided to not list the home for sale but instead went with the route of renting it out. I was afraid she would feel slighted given all of the work she had already done but she was not only professional but gave advice on the renters market.

Fast forward a few months, we found a home in Northern Westchester and because of our initial interaction with Deborah I was really hoping she would help represent us on our purchase. She gladly did so. The purchasing process, with Deborah's help, went flawless. She understood the market and helped us get the best price.

Fast forward another few years and I again reached out to Deborah to help us finally list our house in southern Westchester. The market was just too good to pass up the opportunity to take advantage of. Upon closer observation of my CO she noticed a few, rather large items, that needed addressing. I was afraid this would cost me tens of thousands to rectify in order to list the home. She was not phased. Her connections in all things real estate not only got us a contractor to rectify the repairs but did so at an AMAZING rate. I almost felt bad taking the cost of the repairs as the repair estimates i got myself were astronomical in comparison.

With Deborah you're not only getting a class act of a realtor but you're getting someone who knows the in and outs of the market with 20+ years of experience. If you're in need of a realtor search no further!

It was a real pleasure to work with Deborah. It was evident from very early in the process that she had a great deal of experience as a real estate broker and knew the area extremely well. This great first impression was only reinforced as we continued through the selling process. Deborah brought to bear her experience and thoughtful approach in many different areas, including making recommendations on contractors, selecting a buyer (we had multiple offers) and negotiating a price.

One constant throughout the process was that we didn't feel like we had to worry about the quality, timing or manner in which things were being executed. This made for a relatively stress-free experience in that we could essentially sit back and attend to our busy lives and not have to worry about whether we needed to bug our agent to move things along or whether this or that detail was being taken care of. Deborah is very much a "get it done and get it done well, just leave it to me" type of person.

In short, Deborah is a consummate, highly-skilled intelligent professional and any seller would be very lucky to have her as their agent.
