About Debra Kandrak

After many happy memories and with recent lifestyle changes we decided to sell our family home. We choose Debra Kandrak to sell our home because she offered decorating advice. She was instrumental in bringing out the best that our home had to offer. Using our furnishings she gave us advice on how to rearrange furniture, declutter, painting tips ( we painted and unfinished basement that was dark & dreary into a bright spot with potential to become more living space). She turned and unused 3 season porch into an "inviting sunroom" filled with plants and relaxing furniture. She even gave us advice on how to give the exterior curb appeal. We landscaped, painted the old shutters, added fresh new house numbers and changed the mailbox. This decorating did the trick! We sold our home quickly and got close to our price. I would recommend Debra Kandrak for her experience, positive attitude and decorating advice.

My husband and I decided to sell our home in Greenfield Hill. We hired Debra Kandrak to list our home on the recommendation of a friend. We liked the fact that she offered "home decorating" advice and that she had been a Realtor for many years with lots of experience. The way she explained staging to us was that "It's not about you and your taste" It's about the buyer pool that you are trying to attract." She made us see that by rearranging our furniture and removing some things that the house took on a whole new look. She explained that it was important to give the exterior "curb appeal" to get buyers in the door.If they don't like what they see outside they won't come inside. Following her advice to the letter we were able to get our home sold and move on. We continue to recommend Debra to our friends and family for her knowledge, decorating skills and easy going nature. She was always available when we needed her and gave us feedback on all showings.She made the transaction go so smoothly.A real pleasure to work with someone so professional!

"When I decided to sell my condo I contacted Debra Kandrak, she had been my Realtor for years. I was worried about the tough real estate market but Debra assured me that we could do it. Through this entire process of readying my place she had advised me on painting, flooring and decorating. She had a team of professionals to help her get the job done and stay on budget.It has been such an enjoyable process that I will recommend her to my friends and family to decorate and sell their home. Of course we sold my place quickly and for full price."

Just a short note to thank you for your efforts in the "staging" of my father's house in Fairfield to prepare it for sale. My 96 year old father had neglected the interior for many years and it clearly showed. Your suggestions for painting the main level & the basement, refinishing the floors, updating the bathroom fixtures, replacing door knobs and replacing the light fixtures took a very dated looking house and made it modernly attractive. Since I live out of state, your further help to find the proper contractors, color selections, shop for fixtures and actually supervise the renovations was exceptional and went beyond my expectations...all the renovations complete, I might add at a very reasonable cost by the contractors that you recommended. Of course the ultimate measure of your efforts was the end result of achieving the goal to sell the house. Within the first week we had multiple offers and by the week's end a purchase agreement and a house closing within 5 weeks! Plus we got close to our asking price! All of this thanks to your knowledge and extraordinary efforts. You went beyond the scope of what I would expect form a Real Estate Agent.

"Debra Kandrak, Sales Vice President at William Raveis, is exceptional at staging and selling houses. It was Ms. Kandrak’s expertise that enabled us to sell our home within a week after it was put on the market, and we got very close to our asking price!"

"After we interviewed Ms. Kandrak, we felt we did not need to interview other agents. She mentioned that several of her recent sales had taken a deposit after one week on the market. We found that so reassuring that we wanted to be the next success story."

"Ms. Kandrak has been right there for us during the entire process of staging and selling. First, she collaborated with us to select furnishings and decorations that would show our house in its most appealing light. Second, she chose talented contractors for the re-finishing and supervised their work closely. Finally, she continues to correspond with our lawyer while guiding us through the closing process. She is wonderful. What would we have done without her?"

"Ms. Kandrak is the primary reason that this whole complex process of selling our has gone smoothly. Putting your house up for sale can be nerve-racking, but for us Ms.Kandrak has made the whole process as calm and manageable as it could possibly be. We are so grateful to her and we admire her skills tremendously. She is really in command of her field of business."

"Debra was very helpful to me throughout the entire process of selling my house in Easton and helping me locate a new house that met my requirements. The process began when I contacted Debra to discuss putting my house on the market for sale. She came to my house and suggested that a number of upgrades would be required to make the house more appealing for potential buyers. She coordinated getting several subcontractors to give me estimates for the proposed upgrades. Once I selected the subcontractors, Debra and I went to a number of places to select items that would make the house much more appealing such as paint, new track lighting, granite counter tops, vanities, toilets, rugs etc. Once all of the work was completed, the house was put on the MLS for sale. After the house was transformed, the house sold. In parallel she was identifying several homes that generally met my requirements in a nearby town. I found a very nice condominium that had all of the features that I was looking for and located in a great area.
I would definitely recommend hiring Debra to help you buy a new home or sell your current home or both ? like me."

"Thank you for providing the strategy and direction that resulted in a sale that exceeded my expectations for both market time and final sales price.
I'm completely convinced that this exceptional success was due to your tenacity, creativity, negotiating skills and market knowledge. I couldn't possibly be more impressed and pleased with the process and outcome."

"I would recommend Debra to my friends and family as she is very knowledgeable about what to look for in finding a home. She communicated very well and was on top of schedules and things that needed to be done."
