"In 2009 I engaged Debra to help me find my new home. I was in a position of knowing what neighborhood I wanted to live in, but I really didn’t know what I was looking for as a home – whether it was a single family home or a penthouse condo. Debra was extremely knowledgeable throughout Chicago after being an agent for 25+ years and she was patient in helping me sort out what it was I was looking for in a home. Debra showed me many properties that fit my requirements both in single family and in penthouse condos. Eventually, I found the house of my dreams – exactly what I wanted but had difficulty describing.
The experience with Debra was full service – she was prompt with her replies to my emails and phone calls and resourceful if we needed information beyond her expertise. I relied on Debra’s knowledge throughout the process and always felt I was getting a balanced view and an unbiased response.
In the buying process...Debra was very helpful and thoughtful about her recommendations on how to progress the deal. Once a price was agreed upon, Debra stayed very engaged with the inspection process and all the legal negotiations on the contract. She was at my side on the closing date – both the final walk through of my new home and at the closing.
I can’t recommend Debra Pallotto Dobbs enough for a buyer who needs a trustworthy, knowledgeable and professional real estate agent. She is more than an agent – she’s a well-respected consultant in her field and one of the best I have ever worked with." Katherine - Past Buyer
"I first met Debra twelve years ago, when I was looking to buy a condominium in Lincoln Park. I interviewed six realtors and I was most impressed with Debra. Since then, I have purchased or sold three residential properties with Debra as my real estate agent and advocate. I have always found Debra to be professional, fair and sensitive to the needs of her clients. She puts her clients’ interests and needs first and foremost.
I have an architectural firm with offices in Chicago and Los Angeles. We are a residential firm with a great deal of experience in those respective markets and Debra has our respect and confidence. My first impression of Debra was that she was honest, forthright and filled with integrity. Twelve years later I still feel the same and consider her one of the best realtors in Chicago. I am honored to refer my friends and clients to Debra." Elissa - Past Buyer/Seller
"Though Debra is formally called an agent, we view her as a trusted advisor and friend. We have seen her informally take on the roles of designer, reviewer, negotiator, diplomat, and yes, even psychologist." Mark and Victoria - Past Buyer/Seller
"Debra is an absolute joy to work with; she makes a process that can be overwhelming and frustrating relatively painless...when it came time for us to negotiate it was clear that Debra was our advocate. Debra has a strong intuition and is a great reader of people." Holly - Past Buyer
"My husband and I have worked with Debra on both buyer and seller side transactions over the past ten years. We have always found her to be extremely knowledgeable about the Chicago market honest ethical and a pleasure to work with." Jill - Past Buyer/Seller
"Debra has extensive knowledge of neighborhoods, community information, and other intangibles which you can't get from any website...thru the entire process we felt we were her only clients...we would endorse Debra without reservation." Erik & Hillary - Past Buyers
