Selling a home is stressful. Selling a home without having planned on selling a home is crazy. Luckily, Deb Kotlarz & team were identified for us by a trusted friend and fellow realtor. I knew our friend would only refer us to the best but Deb & her phenomenal team went above and beyond every step of the way to make our home sale a smooth one. Here's the setup of how we came to work with the Kotlarz Group--- we fell in love with a home that was for sale and to our surprise, the offer was accepted....without a home sale contingency.... we hadn't even been looking to move ... so when we reached out to identify our home sale realtor, Deb, didn't bat an eye at our aggressive timeline or our clutter filled home with multiple partially completed home improvement projects. She committed to do her best for us and help us along the way .... It started with consultation, a guideline of steps to take and what to expect in the process, who to call for what, plans/strategy on how to achieve top dollar, a commitment to partnership through the process, recommendations for minor home improvements, contacts to help with those improvements. An eagle-eyed home stager (arranged by the Kotlarz group) provided actionable feedback that was very organized and allowed us to run down a list of things to do without many (any) questions. The Kotlarz team checked in regularly to keep us on track and encouraged in the chaos of packing / moving / preparing / plus a busy life.... The sales team was realistic and optimistic about the sale and I trusted we would get the best sale price with the support of the Kotlarz team. In less than a month and a half from deciding to sell, the house was on the market and we had an offer in hand by day 3 (over asking with few contingencies, and above our expectations). Through the showing / sale process, we were traveling so the Kotlarz team even stepped in to make sure our cat didn't get locked in closets or in the garage after showings. The Kotlarz team is the best of the best with wonderful professionals --- the photographer, the office manager, the sales manager, the closing manager --- everyone! While I hope to not sell a home again for a very long time, I would, without hesitation, work with the Kotlarz group again. thank you! read more

I worked with Deb on the preparation and sale of my home in Bolton, this past spring, and I know for a fact that I made the right choice in working with her. My criteria for a seller's agent were pretty straightforward - a solid reputation, as well as lots of "Sale Pending" / "Sold" signs with their name on them around town. Deb met both those criteria. I connected with her a couple of years ago, when my partner and I were planning to sell the house. But that never materialized due to health issues. This past spring, after my partner passed in January (and I finally made up my mind to sell), I reached out to Deb, who was a God-send. Truly. I wanted to be out of the house quickly, and the whole process felt incredibly overwhelming. Not only had the market changed dramatically in the past 18 months, but the house needed more updates than it had a few years prior. Deb was ready with suggestions on how to best position my property for the most advantageous sale under for new market. She also connected me with a team of service providers... from a professional organizer... to an amazing stager... to a bath remodeler... to an interior/exterior painter... to a handyman who was a dream to work with... all of whom were keenly aware that time was of the essence. "Team Kotlarz" was wonderful, and her office didn't just provide admin support. They where there for me in just the ways I needed them to be, when I needed them. I was confident at every step that I could depend on Deb and her whole extended team to get me to the finish line on what was a very tight schedule. She walked me through each step of the process (including her spot-on marketing approach) like the pro that she is. Net result is that my house sold in 4 days, over the asking price. The buyers tell me they're loving the place, and as hard as it was to leave Bolton after 20 years, it was the right choice. So was choosing Deb Kotlarz as my seller's agent. read more

Deb was recommended to us by our acquaintance when we were looking to sell the old house and to buy a new one. Our first communication was over Zoom in the middle of the pandemic. We told her about our expectations. She shared her knowledge of the housing market, her company's running methods and introduced her team. To avoid conflict of interest, she became our seller's agent and a member of her team became our buyer's agent. I was very impressed by her professionalism, and I felt very comfortable to work with her. The whole process of selling the house is very organized. It was outlined to us from the very beginning. At every step, we were given a proper reminder and presented with right information and quality services, such as house inspection, picture taking, etc. For home improvement, we received very nice suggestions. As a finishing touch, the recommended stager did a fabulous job. During the showing, our house looked very impressive. When it came to the listing time, Deb's detailed analysis allowed us to set an attractive selling price. Thanks to her sharp sense of the market, we sold our house with a very good price. We are very happy that we had Deb as our agent!!! Fantastic experience with her and her team. read more

My wife and I just recently purchased a new home and sold our condo with the help of Kotlarz Property Group and we cannot recommend them enough. Deb (our selling agent) and Pam (our buying agent) were incredibly professional and carefully walked us through each step of what can be a very complicated and stressful time. We felt comfortable and prepared as we progressed through buying our home and selling our condo. The team always made themselves available to answer questions and provide updates. Administratively, Kotlarz Property Group have every angle covered- whether you are buying or selling property, they left no stone unturned.

We used Kotlarz Realty as our buyers' agent and then chose to sell our home with Kotlarz after the purchase of our new home. Without reservation, I can recommend the services of Kotlarz. This team at all times acted with the utmost professionalism, providing constant reliable objective, well informed support and advice. More important to us than pleasantness and agreeableness (which Deb's team have in abundance) are forthrightness and competency, trustworthiness, expertise, and attentiveness and communicativeness; Deb's team demonstrated these qualities constantly; and further, showed decency, honorableness, and a superseding concern for our satisfaction. When problems with a U&O later arose, Deb's team all immediately engaged with us to help resolve the problems, although the period of their obligation was expired. They obviously care about serving their community well and building a reputation for outstanding work. It is our pleasure to publish this recommendation. Janet and Phil read more

Deb and her entire team are nothing short of phenomenal. This is now the second property that they have sold for us and both experiences could not have been any better. From beginning to end, they make the process seamless. Deb's experience always shines through. She has such a strong understanding of the market and individual nuances with every property she lists. With great expertise, she is able to develop unique and successful strategies for each of her listings to obtain a profitable and timely sale. Her negotiation skills are second to none. We always felt that she had our best interest in mind and she truly delivered. The entire team is easy to work with and detail oriented and all share the same commitment and work ethic. You can rest easy because you can be certain that they will be on top of every detail and ensure everything is complete. It has been such a pleasure working with the Kotlarz Group and we would never consider working with anyone else. read more

Cleaning out your childhood home, staging, and selling it is among the most stressful things you will endeavor to do in your life. Thanks to Deb and her team, we did it seamlessly and in record time. Not only did Deb sell the house within a week of it going on the market, but she sold it for well over our asking price in a bidding war that she expertly negotiated. In addition to Deb's professionalism, market expertise, and savvy negotiation skills, her team provides meticulous service that goes above and beyond. From completing seller disclosures with you and obtaining missing documents and certifications to providing staging, pre-market inspections, and beautiful photography services, Deb, Marie, and Carol do it all. So, if you're planning to sell your home, choose Kotlarz Realty and do exactly what Deb tells you to do. You can thank me later. Missy Cohen-Fyffe read more

We approached Deb with a seemingly impossible task. After finding our dream home on the market, we knew we wanted to sell our current home and we needed to sell fast to secure our new home. Deb assured us it was possible! Using all of her resources and team, she was able to set us up for success. From helping with photos, recommending amazing resources such as plumbers and electricians, we were able to get our house on the market only a couple weeks after first talking to Deb. The process was flawless and every roadblock we came across Deb had a solution. The first weekend the house was on the market we had multiple offers, all over asking. We were able to accept an offer, and secure our new home. We know none of this would be possible without Deb, her team and extensive knowledge of the real estate industry. read more

I have always heard that moving is one of the situations that stresses more a person but in my case, I have to disagree, to me the most screenful situation if the selling/buying of a house. Coming from a foreign country all the process was new and quite different. Selling the house has been quite an adventure but Deb Kotlarz and her team made the process pretty smooth. I want to thank Deb and her team for the fantastic work they have done and I cannot help but congratulating Marie Caizzi for her fantastic job organizing all the necessary papers for the sale, I hope to do the same in my new house. A special thanks also to Carol Greer for doing that extra work helping us. Thanks to all of you for your fantastic work. read more

Deb exemplifies all the qualities a real estate agent should possess. She is a true professional and displayed extraordinary competency in selling our condominium. She and her team did a commendable job of showcasing the place via screened in-person showings during the challenging pandemic era. We liked their team approach and every member of the team was highly professional and super responsive in getting their share of the job done while keeping us in the loop throughout the process. Because of Deb and her team's ability to problem solve and put a positive spin on any issue, we highly recommend her for any of your real estate needs. read more

Within 48 hours of putting the property on the market, we had two offers. I attribute this to the excellent work of the realtor (Kotlarz Property Group). We followed their detailed and careful staging advise in preparing the property, and it was obviously exactly right. After the sale, they did a great job leading us through the process, and in areas where we needed help they were able to step in and guide us to services. Everything about the process was outstanding, and every person we dealt with at the agency was helpful, responsive, courteous, and excellent. read more

I used Caroline Fritz as my buying agent. Caroline was incredible from the start, she knew exactly how much to guide and when to let me do my own thing, just a great experience overall working with her and her expertise and knowledge of the market. Even with my crazy schedule she was able to get me into houses and provide an honest and candid opinion, she does not sell houses she helps you decide what the best house is for you and your situation, basically I had my own housing consultant.. Thanks Caroline read more

We had a terrific home sale experience with Kotlarz Property Group from start to finish. Deb Kotlarz is an exceptional selling agent, and it was her guidance and support that led us to sell our home for well over asking.

Their efforts throughout this whole process exceeded our expectations and we cannot recommend them enough! - Chris and Karla Hogan read more

The Kotlarz group was truly a gift to us because they were able to get us into our dream home during COVID and the crazy real estate market. They sold our home for top dollar and got us into our new home when we were up against several other bids.

Can't speak highly enough of my experience working with Deb and her team and trusting their judgment. Deb laid out everything we needed to do and held us accountable to our parts to keep the process on track. We also had multiple moments of challenging negotiations; this was when we most valued Deb's experience and advice. The outcomes from all negotiations, and the entire process as a whole, exceeded my expectations. read more

Deb is excellent and amazing to work with. She surrounds herself with an excellent and knowledgeable team and has many resources to get your house on the market and sell for top dollar.
