Jeff and Tess Babcock
Hello Debi,
We wanted to take a moment to express to you our greatest thanks for representing us in the recent sale of our home. Your marketing, coaching, open houses and above all, your compassion to our concerns regarding the sale of our home were just plain outstanding. You said in our first meeting that you would work hard for us. That is exactly what you did. We feel so fortunate to have had you recommended to us. You can be sure that the recommendations will continue from our end whenever anyone mentions the need to buy or sell their home. Thank you again so much.
Randy & Kathy Lee
We are writing to give Debi our highest recommendation. If you're thinking about listing your home and you're not sure which agent to list with, may we suggest that you list with Debi. While it might not seem that the listing agent matters, let me tell you - it does. We met with 8 real estate agents in the 8 months prior to listing and there is a significant difference.
Debi possesses all the attributes necessary to be an excellent realtor: she knows her market extremely well; she is diligent, responsive, and yet very patient. Debi is both very professional and personable. She clearly takes pride in doing an excellent job. In my case as a seller of a home, we had many questions on the road to listing and closing and in every instance, Debi was an immense help, was extremely responsive, and thoughtful in her recommendations to us.
Most importantly, we sold our home for $40-60K more than the prior agents I interviewed thought possible. It would be hard to envision someone doing a better job than Debi or being anything but happy in choosing to work with her. I would recommend Debi's services to anyone. You will enjoy working with Debi. Kathy and I certainly did. Debi showed us that she was in a class of her own.

I wanted you to know how much I appreciated your help in selling my home. I have personally worked with several RE Agents on 12 of my homes over the past 20 years and you were excellent. You explained everything in detail, your team staged the house wonderfully at your cost and you got a buyer within the price I wanted and within the timeline I was hoping for. You were nothing but professional all the time and you were on it with all the paperwork. Your e-signature paperwork made it so easy for me to not get interrupted with my busy schedule.
My kids thank you as well, plus your incentive to keep their rooms clean each day made them more responsible and taught them that a great showing/presentation goes a long way to sell a home. They were excited to sell so quickly. I put you on a very high pedestal and I will recommend you to anyone and everyone I know. Thanks again for everything!
Lesa Gall
Thank you again so much for your help with the Montclair home. You were so right about how quickly it sold and how it sold on emotion. You really helped us through a difficult process and a somewhat complicated transaction, including handling everything we needed to get done to successfully close the deal. Thanks Debi!
Lisa and John Dane
What a right choice of realtor we made to sell our home in Serrano! From the moment you walked in, your pleasant, engaging personality and good listening skills made us immediately comfortable to ask you our house sale questions. You scheduled a professional to take photographs that highlighted the best features of our home. Your excellent marketing was both targeted and widespread, affording us the right potential buyers. We appreciate that you were very willing to host open house showings and that you made every effort to be on-site at private showings. We could call or text you at almost any hour and you'd respond!
With your professional expertise and know-how, the selling process was relatively quick and we were extremely happy with the final result. You've already received many well-deserved accolades by your peers and your clients and you can count us among them. I'd tell anyone thinking of selling or listing their home to call Debi Ambroff—she will give you her all!
Gratefully,
Dave and Kelly Bender
What can we say but, "Wow!!!" From start to finish you were on it! From setting the right price, to getting the word out via your excellent marketing skills, to getting the house sold, you made the entire sale process easy and you got us top dollar in a rather difficult market.
We appreciate your personal involvement as well as your great communication skills, taking care of any issue that came about. Best of all, we never felt out of the loop nor did we ever feel that we weren't your top priority. That meant a lot!
So, needless to say, we would recommend you and your services to anyone who wants to get their house sold quickly and for the best price! Thanks again for your hard work and professionalism. Consider us loyal customers and most of all, good friends!
James & Donna Toadvine
We are writing to express our pleasure with Real Estate Agent Debi Ambroff from Coldwell Banker, who represented us in the selling of two homes and the purchase of a new single-family home. Debi guided us through the entire process, from selling our homes to searching for a new home, from making offers to negotiation of selling our homes and closing the deal. We credit Debi with a smooth, stress-free home-buying and home-selling experience.
This is our third realtor transaction interface with Debi for selling of homes and purchase of a new home, and we have had a pleasurable experience each time. Debi is savvy, personable and knows the market inside and out. We never could have gotten our dream home without her. To reiterate, we are nothing but pleased with Debi Ambroff and her expertise and we recommend Debi to everyone.
Dan & Carin Feekes
Dan and I want to tell you how happy we were with your services. We never have and don't expect ever again to have an easier transaction than this recent sale of our home with you as our realtor. Our house was sold before the flyers were printed!
Moving is notoriously difficult, but your knowledge, efficiency and approachable personality made it a cakewalk. I kept thinking, "don't we need to do more than this?" but we always trusted you had it together and before we could even ask, you were already on it.
We were referred to you by a neighbor, and we will readily pass your name on to anyone in need of a realtor. Our only regret is that we have now moved out of state and cannot use you for our next home purchase. You have spoiled us and no one is going to be as good as you! Thank you for all you did to make the sale of our house happen without effort.
Phil London
I want to thank you for the fantastic job you did selling our Serrano house this summer. Your insights into how to price the house, how to stage it for the likely buyer, and your marketing initiatives helped us find the right buyers very quickly. Once in escrow, your help moving the transaction forward likely saved the deal.
And I can't thank you enough for your help once we had moved out of the house and back east while waiting for the transaction to close. This was the seventh residence we have sold over the years, and you are by far the most professional agent we have ever encountered. Thanks!
Chuck Clupper
I have known Debi for over twenty years as a friend and neighbor. So, last fall when my wife and I decided to sell our custom home in El Dorado Hills that we designed and had built, it was easy for us to select Debi as our listing agent. We are both now retired and no longer need as large a home. We found a home out of state that met our criteria and that was priced at a point that was too good to ignore. So we bought it.
Having two houses in different states was never our objective and we were concerned about properly maintaining both homes. Although because the opportunity to purchase the additional home arose quickly and we still needed to finish a few pre-listing projects, we had a dilemma. We discussed this issue with Debi and she asked if it would be acceptable for her to use social media and her extensive networking capability within the realtor community to preannounce the listing. We agreed and proceeded to complete our projects.
A few weeks later, when we completed our due diligence, we authorized Debi to put our home on the market on a Saturday in September. She immediately scheduled the realtor open house for the following Thursday. We were extremely impressed when she brought the first potential buyer through our home on the first day after listing. By the following weekend Debi brought us three offers for our home and within a couple of additional days we consummated a full price offer with one of the couples.
In summary; Debi's congenial personality, superior marketing capability, proactive approach within the realtor network, and her willingness and ability to solve problems during the transaction makes her a valuable asset for anyone wishing to purchase or list a home.
Sally & Dick Peters
I'm finally feeling as though my head is above water. For some reason this move and the downsizing has been a bit difficult—I think the lack of cupboard and closet space had something to do with it!
Debi, you certainly did all you could possibly do to make the sale of our house so pleasant. Your advice was right on and you were so good about keeping us informed on anything. You are a true professional!
We also appreciate your thoughtful gifts. Thank you so much! The house is just around the corner and we will make many trees there. We haven't tried the Cheesecake Factory as yet but are looking forward to a visit soon. Again, much appreciation for all you've done. A big hello to Craig. Take care!
Keith and Beth Hesterberg
Debi - thanks for the note and for all the work and effort you put into selling our home! It was a great experience for us and we owe that to you. In particular, you are the most responsive agent we have worked with in terms of keeping things moving, addressing questions, and making sure everybody had what they needed to keep things going.
We really appreciate all of the work that you put into staging our home and putting together the brochure. To have two offers after the first open house in this environment really made us feel great. It was due in no small part to the work that you put into making our house look great. Thanks for everything.

This is somewhat of an unusual source for a letter commending an agent in the context that my initial encounter and high regard for Debi Ambroff originates from the vantage point of being what is customarily regarded as the adversary in the negotiations of selling my home on Crystal Blvd. Debi represented the buyers; I, the seller, was represented by an agency that was certainly more than adequate and I'm not displeased with their performance in any fashion. Having said that, I feel compelled to also state that I soon came to admire the professionalism and expertise of Debi, which is far in excess of what I know to be within the scope of performance of an agent who is handling the other side of the transaction. I was impressed to the extent that I was determined to have Debi represent me in any subsequent transactions at the moment I was free of prior obligations.
Her demeanor was such that throughout the entire escrow process it was evident to me that this is the manner in which I wanted an agent to regard either the buyer or seller—irrespective of whether she represented me or a potential client who I valued, or if she was guiding me to take the fair course of action for the "other side". Debi has this capacity to set aside personal and at times professional preferences and do the "right thing, the fair thing", undoubtedly a thought process that is not only rare but certainly endears her to any individual who has suffered through a difficult purchase or sale. Her sense for what is the human factor that will enhance the successful completion of the transaction to the satisfaction of all parties involved—often an important aspect of any negotiation—is a further demonstration of her acumen.
When asked by friends and acquaintances whom do I recommend as a professional, thorough, compassionate agent; without exception, I have said to interview Debi first, whether they are selling or buying. Nearly 2 years after I met Debi, and 2 years of considering all my options, I have chosen Debi to represent me in the sale of my home and represent me in my next purchase.
Serrano Client
Working with Debi Ambroff and her team at Coldwell Banker was one of the best experiences of our lives. After our home in Serrano, El Dorado Hills, sat on the market for 2 months with no prospects, we re-listed our home with Debi. Within 3 weeks our house was in Escrow.
Her experience, drive and enthusiasm, and the professionalism of her team are exceptional. We were able to realize our dream of moving to South Carolina and it wouldn't have been possible without Debi Ambroff. If you want your home sold, call Debi! An absolute pleasure to do business with.
Ray & Karen McGillis
We recently relocated from Chicago, IL to El Dorado Hills, CA. This move was very emotional for us because we were leaving our families in Illinois. Cartus Relocation had us work with Debi Ambroff out of Coldwell Banker in El Dorado Hills, CA. This was the best thing that could have happened to us during our move.
Debi was very knowledgeable on every aspect of the relocation process, from getting to know us and our tastes, finding the perfect house and the total move-in process. Debi was always available either by phone or in person when we decided to take a quick trip to look at houses. On the trips that we had planned to house hunt, Debi was ready and had many houses set up for us to look at. I believe we were tired of looking before she was. Debi was always able to answer our questions or get back to us quickly if she had to check into it.
Once we closed on our home, Debi set up house cleaners, window cleaners, electricians and a pool service to check if the pool was working properly. There was an item that needed to have the builder come to check and fix and she met the builder at the house and made sure all issues were taken care of. Every service that was set up, she met them at the house for us because we were still in Illinois at the time.
Debi is a life saver and a saint, if it wasn't for her we don't think this move would have been so easy and relaxing. If we were to ever move again we would definitely call Debi to help us through the process. Thank you again for helping us make the best of a very stressful situation.

I am writing to inform you of the great job done by Debi Ambroff in the recent purchase of our new house. I am not trusting of real estate people in general, and as a lawyer I can be difficult to work with. However, I have never worked with an agent who is more ethical, caring, and professional. Debi had our best interests at heart throughout the entire process. She was negotiating for us to the very end.
Her knowledge of construction practices and financing was extremely helpful to us. We started with other agents but the quality of the properties that Debi showed was superior. She quickly assessed our needsd was ab anle to pinpoint properties that we were interested in. I would highly recommend Debi to any of my friends or business acquaintances. Debi is truly an asset to your business. Feel free to use us as a reference if you have someone who is looking for an agent.

On Behalf of Parkland Homes and myself, I would like to thank you for the successful closing of our Parkland Home located at 3180 Woodleigh, Cameron Park. It was a pleasure working with you and your staff. I would like to commend you on your progressive marketing approach and sales effort from listing to close of escrow.
Again congratulations and Parkland Homes looks forward to the opportunity to work with you in the near future.

It is with much gratitude that I write to you regarding the performance of Debi Ambroff. In my experience working with real estate agents, I have never encountered anyone of the same caliber as Debi Ambroff. She is a true professional who made every interaction a pleasurable one, taking the stress out of the entire process from start to finish.
As you may know, selling a home in today's market, or at any time for that matter, is extremely stressful. My home in El Dorado Hills was previously listed with another agency for 9 months and they were unsuccessful in bringing in a buyer. In fact, I did not receive one offer during that time period. After wasting much time and money with the other agency I decided to hire a new agent. I conducted research on well-seasoned and respected agents, as well as established agencies in my area. In my research, Debi Ambroff repeatedly surfaced as the right person for the job based on her experience and reputation. As a result of my research, I interviewed Debi, reviewed her letters of recommendation, and hired her on the spot. I am pleased to say that all of her recommendations were true and probably, if anything, understate her abilities based on my experience in working with her.
In less than 6 months, Debi had multiple offers on my home and I received full price. In my opinion, this was a result of many factors; however all of which are attributed to Debi. She demonstrates the utmost professionalism from the moment you initially meet with her to the final walk-through at closing. The marketing channels/materials she uses and her negotiation skills are remarkable. Also, this was no easy task as I am a very demanding client with high expectations. Debi was always available to me and never seemed bothered by my many inquiries. In fact, she consistently provided me with real-time feedback from showings and activity on my property assuring me that my property would sell. Additionally, her network of professionals is extraordinary, which I feel makes her a valuable asset to your organization and a rare find in your industry.
In closing, I would like to thank Debi for representing me in the sale of my home. I truly believe that my home would still be on the market if it weren't for her tenacious approach and years of experience. She is truly a pleasure to work with and I would strongly recommend her to anyone interested in selling or buying a home. Also, I'm looking forward to working with Debi on my next real estate endeavor.
Alex and Peggy D'Angelo
Once again, thank you. If someone wanted to bet on which Real Estate Agent could walk on water, I'd put my money on you. Of course, just keeping this little deal afloat was more than enough for our vote for 'Agent of the Millennium'. Too much, well, too bad.
Thanks for recognizing that my friend, Andy, in La Crosse, was the link between us and without his efforts we would not have worked together. Good luck to you and yours.
Stephen & Janet Sapienza
Janet and I just wanted to thank you for the outstanding job you did selling our home at 414 Ashland Court in Cameron Park. The buyers definitely tried everyone's patience. We appreciate your skill and persistence in helping us negotiate with the buyers to finalize the deal.
Having moved back to Michigan prior to the closing was something we were worried about. We had no way of knowing what shape the house would be in or if it was safe when we did close. Your efforts in the final weeks to get the lawn mowed, and even fixing our sprinklers, went above and beyond the call of duty. You and your staff are to be commended. Thanks again for making this a successful process.

Before the day gets started and the craziness of moving begins, I want to take a moment to sincerely thank you for all you have done for me the last couple of months. I knew going into this that it would be difficult, challenging and emotional under the best of circumstances (and it was), but you really made it as manageable and organized as it possibly could have been.
I so appreciate your professionalism, knowledge, experience, patience and kindness. I will look back at this experience as being very positive. Your generosity at the end meant more to me than you will know. It was a very compassionate gesture on your part... one that was so very appreciated.
I will recommend you to everyone I know who is planning on selling their home. I can certainly attest to your success with real estate. As a single woman, it meant so much that I could trust you, and I would be happy to write a letter of recommendation if you would like. I wish you the best in the future, Debi. Take good care!
