Debbie Shealey was our realtor for the purchase of our OBX home and we can't recommend her enough. As out-of-town buyers, Debbie went above and beyond in helping us find our beach home. She handled so much for us and made the purchase so much less stressful. She is truly a world class professional. She is honest, trustworthy, knowledgeable, thorough and spot on with the current OBX market. She made the entire process streamlined. Her communication throughout the process was flawless. Debbie kept us in the loop via emails, phone calls and texts and was always quick to respond to our questions no matter the time of day. This transparency gave us complete confidence in Debbie! She always had OUR best interest at heart!! I could not recommend her enough!!! Thank you very much Debbie!

Debbie has always been wonderful and responded immediately when I call about either looking for a new home or selling our home. She is very patient and understanding and offers great advice when asked. Her knowledge of the market is extensive and because of her we have achieved our dream of living at the Outer Banks and also being able to sell our home so that we can retire comfortably and move closer to our family in PA.

Absolutely the BEST agent I have ever worked with. Bought and sold many houses, Debbie Shealey is by far the best agent I have ever worked with. Not only
would I recommend her I would ask her for referrals if I was looking somewhere else. She was on top of EVERY detail (and there were many). She is a can
do person and never let me down. After the closing and she is still looking after things that have come up. One word...PROFESSIONAL.

Debbie Shealey is by far the best Realtor I have ever worked with across the buying and selling involved with owning nine homes throughout my life. Her attention to detail and ability to see around corners and predict the future proved invaluable in enabling my son and me to achieve our dream of purchasing a beach home.
We hope there will be additional houses in our future, and we absolutely would want her by our side in the process.
Debbie is the consummate professional whose intuition and savvy make her a powerful partner. We are very grateful to her.
Thanks Debbie!

Debbie Shelley is amazing. She's extremely thorough, and with you every step of the way. From getting ready to list and creating the actually listing, to making sure everything's done just right even after the sale has gone through. We couldn't have accomplish list and sale within a months time without her. We highly recommend Debbie, and we're so thankful for her. Forever grateful and blessed to have had her on our side.

My wife and I chose CBSR and specifically Debbie Shealey because she was a neighbor and acquaintance. She did a fantastic job of explaining the process of selling our property, and of making all of the necessary arrangements. We could not be happier with the entire process, especially since we received close to a full listing price offer in only two days on the market. Debbie kept us fully informed during the entire process.

We couldn't have asked for a better realtor and experience than with Debbie. She is so knowledgeable, sweet, kind, and was involved in all aspects of getting our house sold quickly and efficiently. The first time I met her as a neighbor I liked her right away. I thought to myself if we ever decide to sell our house, I will contact her to be our realtor. I realize selling a house is all about timing, and incredibly, our house sold the day after it was listed on mls. Amazing! Not only is she a great realtor, but she is a wonderful lady and so proud I can call her friend as well. She is just the best.

Working with Debbie SheaIey our Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Seaside Realty, in search of our new home in the Outer Banks was as stress free as buying a home can be. Debbie made our home buying experience fun and informative. Whenever we met, (which was several times) she was always prepared to show us every home that we wanted to see. Debbie’s knowledge of the area and neighborhoods was extensive. Her work ethic and attention to all the details went above and beyond our expectations, right up to and even after closing. Mark and I cannot begin to thank you; we are excited about our move to the Outer Banks.

As a first time homebuyer, I needed a highly competent agent to guide me. I am so thankful that I found Debbie! She is knowledgeable about area real estate, friendly, patient, and easy to work with. It took three very stressful months to complete the mortgage process. Without Debbie's constant reassurance, confidence, and positive attitude I seriously doubt I would have stuck it out. Thanks to Debbie I have the home of my dreams!

Debbie went above and beyond in assisting my husband and I with buying a lot for our dream home at the beach. She had her work cut our for her, since I have wanted to live on the OBX since I came there for vacation in 1972, but my husband was looking more at the mainland properties. She convinced him that she has lived there since the 70's with no problems, so he would also enjoy life on the OBX. She did it all with the utmost in professionalism as well as being casual with her personality. Thanks Debbie for a job well done!!

My husband and I met Debbie a year and a half ago. She spent endless hours working to find us the perfect little oceanfront investment property. After numerous outings and endless patience on her part, we landed our dream place in Rodanthe. It's everything we could have imagined (and so much more). We're now getting ready to move on another property and know that Debbie will find it for us.

We were Debbie's toughest buyers! We feel in love with the Outer Banks, several years ago. This prompted us to buy. We live in Pennsylvania, so all our searches were solely online. We would email Debbie the MLS numbers and she would set up the appointments for us. We would drive down for the day. Our search lasted 6 months. We kept changing our minds. We always felt bad for doing it. Debbie would stand by us, no matter what our decision was because she said it was our decision, no pressures. She has great associates that she works with that pull the closing together nicely. Debbie is very knowledgeable, she will tell you about anything you want to know. We could email, text, call....anytime. She was on top of everything. She answered our repetitive questions, always keeping a smile in her voice. Kelly and Jeff Kenealy

My house on the Outer Banks had been on the market with another agency for a few years and had not sold. One day, I received a post card solicitation from Debbie Shealey and even though her office was not close to my location, I knew Debbie and knew she was familiar with my neighborhood since she and her husband had built a house close to mine. Debbie was the most creative and aggressive agent I have ever used. She never gave up, and in a 'down' market kept coming up with new and innovative marketing ideas. She kept me constantly informed as to the status of the listing, held 'open house' events, continuously marketed the house to anyone who would listen! Eventually, I was slightly 'under water' with my mortgage, and upon the advice of my attorney, decided it was time to do a short sale. Debbie was quite the negotiator with the bank on my behalf and worked tirelessly to protect my asset as much as possible. We received 3 offers and the bank ultimately accepted one of them and the short sale was completed in an amazingly fast time. I would recommend Debbie Shealey to anyone who wants an agent who is sincerely interested in getting the best deal for her clients and follows all of the rules of excellent business practice. She will work for you tirelessly.

Debbie went above and beyond the call of duty in assiting us in our home buying. She always answered her phone and emails and was quick to get resolution on all of the issues associated with the home purchase. She recommended several resources for pest control survey, home inspector, home furnishings and mortgage financing. She even met the people at the house to get the work completed. During the process, our relationship developed into a friendship, My husband and I consider ourselves very lucky to have had Debbie as our real estate agent for our home purchase in the Outer Banks!
