    Sold a home in 2011.
    Debra assisted us with selling our townhouse in Chicago when the economy wasn't great. She had wonderful ideas as to how to market our place so it would sell even in such an economy. She was patient, proactive, motivated, dedicated, responsive and looked out for our best interest. She also demonstrated immense knowledge / expertise related to listing a property and the current status of the market. Debra is a strong negotiator who will help you during the entire negotiation process. She will devise a plan of where her clients what to end up and how to achieve such a plan.

    We also used Debra to purchase our new house. She assisted with finding our current house which we love. Overall, Debra is a very friendly person who is easy to collaborate with on such an important experience. She is a determined, dedicated worker who any person would be lucky to work with. My husband and I would highly recommend Debra to anyone who is interested in buying or selling a property! You will be impressesed with her so just contact her! We were extremely happy with having Debra to help us sell our house and buy a new house.

    Helped me rent a home.
    Debra is a consummate professional who represents her clients as if they were her own family. She is a tireless worker who will track down every lead and act as your agent with style, panache and grace. She is intelligent, sensitive, and a highly effective negotiator. I plan to call on Debra again for my real estate needs, and highly recommend her to my friends, family, and anyone else looking for an efficiency and excellent result in a real estate transaction, whether it's finding a new home or saying goodbye to an old one.More Less

    Bought a Vacant Land home in 2011 in Bucktown, Chicago, IL.
    The first thing to say about Debra is that, when we finally made an offer on our house, the sellers did *exactly* what Debra predicted they would do. Before we put in our bid, Debra laid out a multistep plan, plotting out what she thought the sellers would do at each juncture in the negotiating process, and how we should respond. Then we put in our bid, and the process unfolded precisely as Debra had predicted. She's been in the business for long enough, and understands people and the market well enough, that there were simply no surprises. It was amazing.

    We had very specific criteria for our new house, and Debra was endlessly patient as we searched with her. She was very good about directing us away from places that she knew would not be a good fit. Even more important, she knew what we would like better than we did: Debra gently but consistently urged us to consider the house we finally bought, even though we had initially rejected it based on matters that, as it turned out, could be easily changed.

    It goes without saying that Debra is a pro, in the best sense of the term: responsive, savvy, and smart. But she's not remotely "slick," either with us or with the sellers' agents we met; she's a real person, down to earth, funny, and warm.

    I cannot recommend Debra more highly, and cannot imagine entering the real estate market again without her by our side.

    Real estate is a cyclical industry, with prices that fluctuate with other markets and reflect the overall condition of the economy—it's also an inherently localized one, as housing prices are determined by each neighborhood and street's unique location, amenities, and characteristics. As a result, the most successful agents have both a grasp on big-picture economics and an intimate knowledge of their city's neighborhoods and nuances.  Debra Pallotto Dobbs has a command of each, allowing her to apply her insights to the distinct needs of individual clients.

    As a passionate advocate for her clients, Debra strives to exceed her clients' expectations in every aspect of the overall process. Debra's adept marketing abilities place her ahead of the curve when it comes to marketing homes for sellers, employing both tried-and-true methods and the most innovative web strategies.  A sure-handed negotiator, Debra believes that pricing is both an art and a science—a Realtor® must be able to see a transaction from every vantage point, as well as detect any unspoken information. Above all, Debra believes the entire process and relationship should be guided by integrity.
