Testimonials

Seller

Deborah and Kristin were simply the best! They helped us for a couple of months to get the right vendors to help us prepare and stage the home. They were not only patient, but Deb always gave us the good suggestions to help us get top dollar and the best ROI. Her vendors were amazing. In addition, we always felt Deb and Kristin had our best interest at heart. At the end of our transaction Deb's experience played a huge role in getting our home closed. We could not have done it without her. We are so thankful Deborah was referred to us. She's strategic, kind, experienced and a very good communicator.

Seller

One of the reasons we considered Deborah Kernahan was that we were impressed by how quickly she sold an English Tudor house on our street. After interviewing Deborah and Kay, we were impressed with their expertise in the how to get our house ready to put on the market plus the responsiveness of her team of painters and stagers they used. When offers came she was informative and gave us honest opinions of the buyers and chances of success. These were many stressful moments during this process and Deborah was understanding and sympathetic to our struggle in selling a house we lived in and loved since 1988. The closing process, due to buyer lender issues, was also rough but Deborah and Kay were always there to reassure us our house was great and was going to sell. Thank you Deborah and Kay for you skills and empathy.

Buyer

Deborah was very helpful to me in the search for and accomplishing my purchase of a residence which met our needs and criteria. She dedicated a lot of time and energy to arranging showings, often with short notice requests since new listings were being contracted very quickly. Deborah is very knowledgeable regarding neighborhoods and properties in the area and was very candid with her comments and advice regarding properties which we toured or considered touring. Being a Realtor myself in Colorado for the past 42 years, I found Deborah’s candor to be very helpful and it was obvious to my family and me that she was intent on helping us find a property which best fit our needs and NOT focused on just “making a sale”. I am pleased to recommend Deborah.

Kristen was so amazing to work with!
She was very professional and guided us through every step of the process.
From day one she provided her professional opinion but was very open to what our thoughts were as well in order to put together a great action plan for selling our home. And sure enough it took no time at all to get our home on the market and get it sold for above asking!
Even through some of the more stressful moments she kept us informed and continued to make us feel she was on top of it and taking care of everything.
We were so happy with the whole process and couldn't recommend a better agent to sell your home!

Buyer

Kristin just helped me purchase my first home and it was a great experience. She was very knowledgeable about the whole process and the local market. She was always very responsive and went above and beyond to help us win the home among other offers the seller had. I have already referred her to 2 of my friends.

I feel like I struck gold when I was provided with Deborah's name as a realtor who might help me sell my home of 40+ years. Although my residence was a smaller property, Deborah treated me no differently than if I owned and was selling a multi-million dollar estate! She was up front, honest, joyful to be around, highly capable, energetic, caring and intelligent...offering sage input that led to my getting top dollar for my home. Never pushy or aggressive, Deborah was strong and steadfast, with an amazing memory for detail so that nothing slipped through the cracks. I'm not sure how she did it, but somehow Deborah actually made the process of selling a home a joyful one. She was relatable, reliable and trustworthy and was a hand-holder and an emotional support. Deborah consistently and absolutely went well above and beyond to help to make this experience one I will always look back on with gratitude and a smile on my face. I wholeheartedly recommend Deborah Kernahan to anyone in need of purchasing or selling a home. Simply put, she is the best.

My Wife and I selected Deborah (Deb) as our real estate agent initially based on her reputation. We heard about her through neighbors in my area who had either worked with her directly or knew someone who had. She is known for being one of the best in our area in finishing home sales. This was very important to us as we previously had to remove our listing from the market due to inactivity.

Upon interviewing with her, I we found her to be very professional. She is very knowledgeable about real estate value in the community. She lives is the neighborhood thus is very capable of answering any questions prospective buyers may have about the uniqueness of the homes and surrounding property.

Working with Deb was a complete joy. She is by nature a very warm and inviting person. She kept me and my wife informed of developments every step of the way by phone, text and email. She followed up with answers to all our questions. She communicated all our concerns to prospective buyers and the concerns of the buyer back to us.

From the start, Deb brought us dozens of potential buyers. Every week there was either an open house or multiple private showings. She offered tips on making minor improvements or upgrades to enhance the sale value. In the end we sold the house for more than the prior listing price through the efforts of Deb.

We highly recommend using the services of Deborah Kernahan.

Buyer

We had been looking for house's for a while with no luck, when we decided to reach out to Kristin for additional help. She had a great comprehension of what we did and did not want in a house. She listened to us and never pushed a house for her own agenda. She was hands on throughout the entire process, making sure everything ran smoothly. I would highly recommend her for any of your house hunting or listing needs.

Adrian G.

The best real estate agent / broker I ever dealt with.
Not to offend the other ones, as I have some experience in buying and selling properties, but Deb did an amazing job.
Most importantly she listens and understood my situation. After she came with a full analytic, marketing plan and strategy to sell my house.
We got the highest price per square feet in the history of the area. Basically, she and her team took a challenge and made it a reality.
I am sure she does deal with all kinds of price range homes, but especially on the luxurious market, she is the only one you should deal with in LA and Ventura County.

Very professional, very responsive, very experienced. So I highly recommend Deb Kernahan and her team.
