277 Dartmouth Street
3rd Floor, Boston, Massachusetts, Suffolk County, 02116Coming of age in the 1960s and early 1970s, I loathed the idea of having anything to do with sales. I became a teacher. I taught in inner-city Boston schools with metal detectors at the entrance and the National Guard in the halls. I worked hard with few resources and overcrowded classes yet it seemed I never garnered any appreciation for my dedication in the classroom.
At that time, my husband and I were renting a sweet apartment but we couldn't have a garden. I couldn't fix up the place and had to live with 25-year old wallpaper. All this frustration drove us to buy a little house up the street. I became a homeowner at the age of 26. I never looked back and have been a homeowner ever since.
I loved that little house, changed the wallpaper, planted a garden and dedicated myself to meeting my neighbors and contributing to the town. I raved to everyone about home ownership and eventually gave up teaching and became a Realtor. I continued to proselytize about the benefits, spiritually, socially, philosophically and financially, of homeownership. I've never felt that I was a mere salesperson. I was called a real estate 'salesperson' but I never thought of myself as being in 'sales' and I still don't after 35 years in the field. For both my Sellers and Buyers, I truly operate as a consultant.
My job is to guide, enlighten and protect my clients. For my Sellers I strive to get my listings sold for the highest possible price, in the shortest possible timeframe and with the least amount of stress for the client. For my Buyers, my goal is to locate and successfully negotiate a property that meets their day-to-day needs and desires as well as one that is a sound financial investment.
For each, I am committed to disclosing everything that they would want to know and protecting their confidentiality at all times. I am extremely proud of my 600+ transactions but, even more so, of the 140+ closed client testimonials that appear on my web page (debstein.com). They speak to my professional and caring dedication to my career more than all the words I could compose.
