Business Philosophy

• Debbie Sonenshine is in a unique position in the real estate business. Because of her reputation for total customer focus, people seek her out when they want to buy or sell real estate in the metro-Atlanta market. Her secret? It is crucial for me to listen to what clients want and provide even more.
• Debbie is a people person. The focus is on understanding customers -- by listening to what clients like and don't like, what lifestyle they are looking for, and most importantly, helping them achieve their goals.
• Debbie enjoys working with all types of clients; from first-time buyers to those looking to sell a multimillion dollar estate. In every case, her customer service is way beyond what anyone expects.
• Over the years, Debbie has been honored with many awards -- #1 Sales Agent, Top 1% internationally. In the end, though, helping buyers and sellers getting what they want has been the real reward.

What Debbie's Clients Have to Say

• "Debbie is the hardest working woman in real estate. Combine her dedication with deep knowledge of the residential real estate market; add a sparkling personality and you get a terrific real estate agent. She is a joy to work with and gets great results."
• "Debbie was instrumental in selling our home both quickly and at our listing price. We were very pleased with her attention to detail and tremendous network, which resulted in a high level of traffic within the first few days of listing. Debbie and her team made sure we had access to all necessary resources while searching for and eventually finding our new home."
• "Debbie does not sell real estate. She provides Real Estate solutions that are tailored to the specific needs of the client. She listens intently, understands what the stated and implied needs of the customer (including their family members) are and matches them with properties. She is also a shrewd negotiator on your behalf and knows how to get you a better deal than you could on you own. If you don't deal with Debbie on Atlanta Real Estate you are making a mistake".
• "Product knowledge, customer service the ability to interpret our requirements made for a truly ideal home shopping experience."
• "Debbie is extremely professional, competent, yet friendly and personal. I believe I got the best deal because I heeded her advice and recommendations."
• "It was the perfect blend of warmth, sincerity, knowledge, experience professionalism that sold us on you."
• "This is the 3rd transaction with us and you exceeded our already high expectations!"
• "Being a former real estate agent and a real estate appraiser, it was hard for me to see the reason in hiring a listing agent. We did try to sell the home by ourselves. In the end we didn't. Debbie's intuitive negotiating sense of what you should give up and what you shouldn't, saved us thousands and we were under contract 7 days after listing."
