Testimonials

"Debbie had just sold a mobile home in the same park we lived in so we knew she had connections and insights to the local market. She has been so very helpful in getting our place sold in a timely manner, stepping us through the process and working through what could have been daunting paperwork challenges; all this even after we had relocated to our new home out of the area. My wife and I highly recommend Debbie Burk to all sellers and potential buyers. Her desire to maximize YOUR needs stands first and foremost for her."

Moving is never simple, but Debbie Burk helped to smooth the way. When our family needed to move after living in the same home for nearly two decades, we had a lot of very specific and challenging requirements. Many real estate agents would have become frustrated with our list of particulars, but Debbie was so patient and understanding in our search for a new home. Our search lasted for several months and she was with us each step of the way. At one point she even offered to search for properties that met our criteria that were not actively listed for sale. Debbie hand-wrote and mailed over a hundred letters of inquiry in our behalf. Talk about professional dedication to serving your clients' needs! In our opinion, Debbie Burk rises to the top of any list when it comes to a real estate professional. She's attentive, patient, and keenly interested in her clients' priorities and wishes. Through the process we always felt supported and never felt pressured. Debbie was always on time and responded quickly with any questions we had. She would research and get back to us within a few days if not a few hours. With Debbie's participation we were able to find just the right home for our family. When it was time to close on the new home, Debbie and her team helped us to accomplish that with the greatest level of knowledge and professionalism. It was a pleasure to work with Debbie - so much so that we consider Debbie as a friend. We certainly plan to engage her services in the future for our real estate needs. Debbie Burk gets our highest recommendation!

As a first time home buyer and young female I was nervous about jumping into the home buying process. I knew what I wanted, but was scared of not being able to find it or being pushed into something that didn't fit all my expectations. The entire process turned out to be the opposite of what I expected. Chris listened carefully to what I wanted, and asked all the right questions to push me to be even more specific about my wants and needs. Before and after finding the perfect home he was readily available and knowledgeable. Every question I had was answered, and done so in a timely manner. Chris was always on time, if not early, and took care of his side of the paperwork, phone calls, and emails in a timely manner. I felt as if I could trust him through each step and would recommend him to family and friends due to this.

Debbie and Chris were great to work with, always helpful, friendly and courteous. Even while his wife was in the hospital having a child, Chris was always responsive! Both Chris and Debbie were always quick to forward any changes or updates to my Offer, and to the acceptance by the seller. It was a very quick turn around; found the house, made the bid, and won the bid all within about 4 days. The responsiveness of both Chris and Debbie were key in me getting a last minute bid in to but the home.

I was previously working with another agent who was not very responsive to my needs. The first time I contacted Chris Burk it was such a different experience! He responded quickly and always made me feel like I was his top priority. As a first-time home buyer I never hesitated to contact him at any point during the process. He was always helpful and professional; he answered all of my questions thoroughly and in a timely manner. Chris did such a fantastic job with my transaction, that I've already recommended him to more than one friend!

Debbie Burk came to our home and managed our books for our business. When we hired her what we liked most about her was she was so personable and relatable. We think she will be great at being a realtor because she is so patient, kind, and you can tell how passionate she is about her work whatever that is.

I was a Trustee of a Special Needs Trust and Debbie did my bookkeeping for so many years that I can't remember. She was not familiar with exactly what I needed initially but was willing to work with me and figure it out! She and her staff served me well and her great people skills, attention to detail, and her accuracy will serve her well as a realtor.

My husband and I went to an open house on a whim just to look at the house. There we met Debbie Burk. While talking to her we saw that she really was interested in the questions we asked her. We ended up deciding to sign up on their site for more information. To make a long story short they were very patient and understanding of what our wants and needs were. Debbie is very pleasant and accommodating, helping to point out different features of the houses. After several bids that weren’t accepted they stood by us until one was finally accepted. We are now going through the final steps to having our own home. Debbie and Chris are the best to work with. Thank you Debbie & Chris.

I've known Debbie for years and have to say that she has been a pillar of the community of Gig Harbor, since the early 80's. Having said that, Debbie will undoubtedly will do very well in real estate, due to her obvious people skills, kindness, fairness and integrity. I highly recommend her as a Realtor.
