Testimonials

Deborah Laggini is a true professional. She was very patient with us as we worked through the process of deciding if we really wanted to sell our home of 24 years. After a year, she politely reached out again and we listed the home. We had a contract in seven days. She was great at negotiating the details with the buyers. The entire process was as smooth as it could have been thanks to Deborah and her team

My wife and I had been looking for property to build a house on for several years…completely on our own with no real estate agent involved. Why would we need one, we have the internet right? That thought couldn’t have been further from the truth.

Through our builder we were introduced to Deborah Laggini, an Annapolis agent that we were told was very familiar with land being sold in Anne Arundel county, waterfront property and the home building process in general.

Our success with locating a property was not immediate, we still searched for well over a year because we were very focused on an area of interest. Deborah had taken the time to gather all our requirements and set up searches that provided immediate notifications when new properties came on the market. It was through these searches that we stumble upon our property. Deborah diligently worked with the selling agent and was able
to negotiate a very good deal, quickly drafted all the necessary paperwork, and setup what was probably the quickest and easiest settlement I have ever experienced.

Her knowledge of the building process provided insights into the questions that needed to be answered during the feasibility study as well as leveraging the network of people she knew throughout the county. Again, something we could have never of accomplished on our own. Luckily for us things worked out, but I can imagine a situation where the right questions are not asked and a buyer ends up with a property that will not accommodate the house they want to build or there are conditions preventing its constructions. No one wants to find that out after a property is purchased.

Deborah’s commitment to our project extended beyond the sale of the lot. She knew we were having issues conveying our vision to the builder and suggested that we meet with an architect to help rectify the situation. Again, this was something we didn’t think we needed since we had building plans already. Because of her knowledge of the industry she introduced us to a
local architect that specialized in waterfront homes. We would have NEVER of thought this was necessary, but having taken her advice we have taken our project to another level, without incurring significant costs. We owe our success thus far to Deborah and the knowledge she possesses in the real estate industry, both in regards to buying and selling property, as well as all aspects of the home building process. We couldn’t give Deborah high enough accolades and we would recommend her to anyone in the Annapolis area….you won’t be disappointed.

Deborah represented me both in the selling of my home and the purchase of a new home. She is extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of the real estate process. She has excellent negotiating skills and she was immediate in her response to my needs as both a buyer and a seller at the same time.

Deborah did a very professional and effective job in the sale of our Davidsonville home. She was able to locate a buyer in a few weeks, while other homes on our street (with other Realtors) were still for sale months after we have moved. Deborah did an excellent job and we will highly recommend her to anyone we know looking for a real estate agent.

I’ve known Deborah for many years, and have worked with her twice, once on a happy occasion – the purchase of our new home (we love it!) and once on a rather difficult occasion, the sale of my mother’s home after her death. Deborah has always been completely professional and yet personally compassionate, attentive, accessible, thorough, and detail oriented. Both closings went through without a hitch!

As a first-time homebuyer, I was so glad to have Deborah on my team! She really went above and beyond in helping me to think through what I really wanted in a home and in guiding me through the whole process. I’m so pleased with the house I purchased, and I will highly recommend Deborah to everyone I know who is looking for an Annapolis realtor.

Bob and I were more than impressed with our first meeting, when Deborah brought a copy of her portfolio and resume – wow! Neither of us had ever had a realtor who took us to view competing properties for sale, to help us price our home accordingly. This was a huge help! Deborah’s insight to bring in a professional stager was truly eye-opening and totally paid off for us. In fact, I still am trying to practice the things I learned from that experience as I’m decorating our new house. The photographer Deborah uses is top notch and made our house look so gorgeous in the photos that it was hard to believe we actually lived there! The whole process of selling our house was handled so expertly from day-one through settlement. We could never have been able to move so quickly on buying our next house here in North Carolina had it not been for Deborah’s expertise through all phases of the selling process. People cannot believe that we had a contract on our house only eight days after it went active in the market!!!

If we had to sum all of this up we would say, “take the worry out of selling… call Deborah Laggini of Long and Foster – this realtor delivers!” I will definitely always tell any of my friends in Maryland who will be looking to sell (or buy) to call Deborah.

I cannot say enough about Deborah. As a realtor, she brings the highest integrity and can-do attitude to her work. As a person, she is a great listener and that serves her clients well as she works with people when they are making an important life decision that is emotional as well as somewhat intimidating. She has helped us buy and sell a house and I would never go to anyone else. I highly recommend her!
