"When deciding what to commend about our experience with Debbie, we couldn't decide on the focus of our remarks - should we mention being from out of state and working together long distance via email, phone and fax? ....write about Debbie looking at properties for us and honing in on what we needed so efficiently that we could buy a property in three days of looking at places? Debbie being encouraging, upbeat and pleasant 100% of the time even when a bid failed? Debbie going the extra mile(s) by recommending and introducing us to a contractor, arranging for separate inspections and utility turn ons? Debbie's range of experience and up-to-date knowledge that helped us through a complex purchase of a foreclosure property? She's a gem - we were lucky to find her - look no further!"

"If you truly want your home sold or want to find a home that is perfect for you then you need to go with Debbie Jensen! My husband and I were fortunate enough to be introduced to Debbie after our home had been on the market for FIVE months and had not sold. After my contract expired with our first realtor we immediately went with Debbie! Debbie was able to sell our home in ONE WEEK! She provided expert advice as to what steps we needed to take in order to get our home sold. We had three potential home buyers in our home the first week after Debbie had listed our home. Did I already mention that she sold our home in ONE WEEK! Debbie is an absolute joy to work with. Have you ever met and worked with anyone who truly makes you feel important? She honestly cares about everyone she works with and is an exceptional realtor and broker. Closing on our house was a seamless process. Debbie handled it all! We are now using Debbie to help us find a new home. The most wonderful attribute of Debbie is the fact that she always has YOUR best interests at heart. She just doesn't want to sell you a home you like. She wants to sell you a home that you LOVE! And not to mention she looks out for your future investment. Due to all of her experience in this industry she is able to educate you on where the best location to buy is and what features you need to have if you are looking for a higher return on investment. She is a diamond in the rough, she is a true star! We are so lucky to know her and to be working with her! My advice to anyone who is reading my testimonial is to GO WITH DEBBIE JENSEN! You will be extremely happy that you did! She will take care of you as if you were family! And she will continue to be our realtor for a lifetime! Thank you so much Debbie for everything! We are truly grateful for you and all that you continue to do for us! "

"What more can you ask for?

It was last spring that I started looking for real estate agents in the DC metro area. One of the search results took me to Debbie's website.
Upon reading her great testimonials, her years of experience, I was intrigued and contacted her. Being a first time home buyer, she went above and beyond to guide me through the home buying process. When we would go see homes, I was amazed at her attention to details. She helped me a lot to find my home and by the end of last year, I was a home owner. Her bubbling, cheerful personality made house hunting a pleasure. She had an answer for all the crazy questions I asked. I couldn't have asked for a better real estate agent.
I recommend her to all potential home buyers. She's just an amazing person!"

"I have been living in the Washington, DC area over 20 years but never felt comfortable enough to make the big plunge and purchase a home. It seemed my timing wasn't right or something else was going on all I needed was a reason because I was extremely skeptical to say the least. After all, I had heard so many horror stories about home buying Let's face it, buying a home is a huge undertaking and I wanted some assurance that I would be working with an ethical individual who had a sincere desire to assist with this process. Last year, I finally made up my mind to purchase. I thought I was ready but the butterflies told me that I had lingering doubt. All of that changed when I met Debbie, a jewel in the crazy mortgage industry! Debbie was referred to me by my best friend and my cousin so I knew she was an okay person who probably knew what she was doing. However, when I met Debbie I totally understood why they spoke so highly of her. She was vibrant and funny yet extremely knowledgeable and passionate about her craft, the art of selling homes. After a few outings with her, I was no longer a client but a friend. She eased my worries by providing facts about the industry, my role as a home buyer, and always gave that special Debbie touch that I had not felt when previously talking to other realtors. She took the time to understand what I was looking for so the chore of home buying no longer existed. The process became fun and the stress I had before was no longer an issue. I closed on my home in July 2008 and am loving it more and more each day. Thanks to Debbie, I am officially a home owner!!!!

Sometimes people get lost in the business aspect of home buying and forget that we (the purchasers) are human. Debbie never lost sight of that. In fact, she made sure she went above and beyond to make this process as pleasant as possible. If you are thinking of purchasing and want a caring, compassionate, intelligent realtor, I highly recommend Debbie Jensen!!!"

"As first time buyers, we needed all the help we could get. Thankfully, a friend recommended we use Debbie to help us find our new home. She met with us and took the time to understand what we were looking for. She definitely was listening because as soon as we walked into the fourth property she showed us, a condo in McLean, we knew we had found our first home. That is when the fun began! It was a marathon day and ended with us placing a bid on the condo. Debbie explained the entire process step by step and patiently answered the myriad of questions we threw at her. She even took the time to buy us some food since we worked up an appetite looking at properties most of the day. A few days later, we found out the bad news that another buyer had placed a competitive bid. We were originally concerned that we would lose this perfect condo, but Debbie reassured us that if we really wanted the condo she would we do her best to make sure we got it. Well, Debbie did not let us down and we became first time home owners in mid-November. We are keeping Debbie in mind for several years down the road when we are ready to upgrade from our condo to a single family home and will definitely recommend her to all of our friends!"

"After remodeling and selling our first home, my husband and I were looking to buy another property to remodel and then re-sell at a future date. Debbie was the realtor for the purchaser of our first home and my husband and I became friendly with her during the sale of our home to her clients. At that time, we were working with another realtor but were not happy with the services provided, so we terminated that relationship and then asked Debbie to represent us. My husband and I were looking to buy the worst house in the best neighborhood we could afford. We searched long and hard with Debbie to find the perfect property. Due to the economic downturn, many of the properties we were considering were foreclosures. During an extended search dealing with foreclosure properties, banks that took weeks to respond, mold, and a myriad of other issues and problems, Debbie's research and quick responses to problems that arose was impressive and invaluable. She never made us feel as if she wanted to get the deal done so that she could move on. Thanks to Debbie's good work, we found the worst house in the best neighborhood we could afford at a great price. We are now in the process of our remodel and couldn't be happier. "

"I was in the market for my 1st home and saw this wonderful lady named Debbie on television sharing her real estate knowledge. After speaking with a couple of other Realtors I realized she was head and shoulders above the rest... this is the lady I needed to work with. We met and she showed me numerous houses in my price range that met my criteria. Each step along the way she made sure that I understood the real estate buying process and provided her expert advice. Long story short she helped me purchase a foreclosed property and negotiated a great deal with the bank. So if you're a first time home buyer like me or just need an outstanding realtor Debbie is the best in the area."

"Debbie Jensen is beyond compare in the real estate arena. Her knowledge and professionalism was apparent from day one. To add to that, she is warm, caring and friendly. Outstanding customer service is her priority and she easily met that goal. Debbie was truly a critical partner in my recent house purchase. She helped me decide and refine location based on my criteria and budget. She was never too busy to answer my myriad of questions, or to discuss strategy. I first started dealing with Debbie about a year ago when I was job hunting in the DC area from another party of the country. I would fly in for interviews and sometimes Debbie and I would also look at property. As an IT professional myself, I really appreciated her use of technology -- her website and the
automated emails I received daily. This let me easily assess property and comparison shop across various areas. It was also easy to adjust interested areas after I would rule out one area and request a new area be added. After I moved to the area, Debbie and I would periodically look at property and when we found the jewel of a house in the perfect area, she also negotiated a great deal! I could not be happier with my new home. I highly recommend Debbie if you are interested in outstanding knowledge, professionalism and customer service in the purchase of your next home!"

"The moment I met Debbie, I knew that not only would she help me find the perfect home, but that we would have fun doing it! And, boy did we! Debbie's got one of those effervescent personalities that's infectious. I don't remember ever laughing so much! The great thing is that even though she made it fun, she stayed extremely focused on helping me find just the right house at a great price. And, it was a good thing, because I only had a month to find and close on my new home! Because Debbie is such a good listener and so familiar with the DC area, she was able to steer me to just the right properties. In just three days of looking, we found the perfect place. And best of all, that's all I had to do. Debbie did the rest! She took care of the negotiations (and she's REALLY good at it!), inspections, financing, and paperwork. I ended up with exactly what I wanted at a great price and it wasn't stressful at all. Debbie's simply the best! Thanks, Debbie!

"My wife and I were very apprehensive about the whole idea of buying a home. Oh course we attempted to educate ourselves, purchasing more than a few books. Debbie stepped in from day one translating some very difficult concepts. By the time any decisions were made we were more than prepared and very confident that our individual needs would be met. Debbie did just that, and then some. By that Spring, Debbie had shown us an eye full and we were ready. With only $1000.00, and the assistance of Debbie's team, we were in a lovely four bedroom, three and one half bathroom townhouse. In addition, we somehow managed to get the best mortgage I could've imagined, 350K loan at 6.625% extended through 40 years. WOW!!! In this market? My family is just so pleased at the effort and service delivered by Debbie that we have recommended her to all our friends shopping for homes. "

"I am in it. My DREAM HOME. The whole ordeal made possible by one person...Debbie Jensen. If you are on this website and have any intention of buying a house in the DC area, you would be crazy not to use her. Why?

Debbie helped locate, finance, and finalize the entire process. If you want someone who cares about your happiness as much as you do, she is the one. She will be there the whole time, holding your hand if you need it. This woman has never met a stranger...

I was referred to her from a friend, now Debbie is a friend of mine. She is a class act all the way.

So you, yes YOU, quit wondering and give her a call. You will not be disappointed."

"Debbie is an absolute joy to work with. We looked relentlessly for a home that fit our lifestyle and price range and we found the perfect home. She was able to negotiate a deal in which the sellers paid over $16,000 in closing costs for us. Working with Debbie guarantees that you will get the best service possible and you will get the attention you deserve when purchasing a home. I would recommend Debbie to anyone looking for a professional to help with purchase or sale of their home."

"After years of renting, my girlfriend and I decided it was time to buy. Being twenty-somethings in Northern Virginia, we didn't have a lot of disposable income. Neither of us had any experience with buying, nor did we know where to start. Debbie was referred to us by my parents (another set of satisfied clients), and within a few days of speaking to her via phone for the first time, we were sitting in on a conference call with her crunching numbers and pulling paystubs. She immediately ran our preapproval and let us know what we qualified for. From there she handled EVERY aspect of financing, and answered ANY questions we had in layman's terms. She looked out for our best interests the way our mothers would, and even talked us out of a few places that were out of our reach. She is always willing to go the extra mile, and is an extreme joy to be around. I can't even begin to tell you what she's capable of, but believe us...SHE WILL MAKE YOU HAPPY. We now live in a beautiful, unique condo and we owe it all to her. Thanks Debbie!

We really really REALLY can't thank you enough. *Our* home is getting better by the day. We can't wait to have you come over and see it! "

"When we needed a home, we needed it fast - we literally had to settle in a few weeks. Unfortunately we were not 100% sure where the best location would be for the both of us. I tried to locate a realtor who understood our dilemna and wanted to help anyway. In the past, I have worked with several realtors who did not want to take the time and/or just wanted to make a quick sale. Debbie took as much time as was needed to help us determine the parameters of our home, including size, location, etc. Once she helped us figure that out, she presented us with mulitple different possibilities that would fit our needs. On our first day out with Debbie, we found the perfect home and wrote a contract that day. She helped guide us from start to finish, leaving nothing to chance. She diligently followed up with us and everyone else that was needed along the way to make sure that the sale went without a problem and that in the end we hit our targeted close date. Everyone always tells you about the nightmares they have when purchasing a new home. This was the smoothest transaction imaginable because of Debbie's know-how, follow-up and organizational abilities. At closing, the other realtor even asked Debbie to join their firm, saying "She is one of the best realtors I have ever worked with - you guys are very lucky to have her working with you!" Do yourself a favor - if you need a fantastic realtor, look no further. Debbie is it!"

"Working with Debbie was a delight. Along with being extremely knowledgeable about the do's and don'ts about purchasing in this area I could definitely always tell she had my best interest in mind. As a first time homeowner it was definitely a pleasure working with someone who had the knowledge and patience that Debbie displayed. Her knowledge of this market resulted in her negotiating that the seller pay $13,000 at settlement towards closing and part of this money was used to bring down my interest rate. It also resulted in me receiving $1,600 of my earnest money back at settlement. This was definitely a pleasant experience, and I would recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a home in this area!"

"My husband and I finally decided to buy a condominium instead of continuing to rent. That decision made, who would we call to be our agent?

So, we turned to the internet and found the Virginia realtors page. After perusing several resumes, we liked what we saw on Debbie Jensen and decided to get in touch with her. What great luck.

Debbie was very pleasant and knowledgable. Being an older couple and knowing what we did and did not want I'm sure made her job harder. She was patient while we searched, and searched and searched for our perfect home. When we felt like we had hit a dead-end, she always had a strategy to find more homes to preview.

Debbie also facilitated our loan arrangements. Having been away from the housing market and loan process for a number of years, Debbie's assistance turned what could have been a long process into a pleasant one. With Debbie's resources, we navigated the process of buying our condo quicker than I would have thought possible.

Anyone searching for a realtor would not find anyone more knowledgeable, resourceful and fun to work with than Debbie.

We would highly recommend her to all our family and friends."
