Deborah Fogarty

REALTOR

As an agent who's an expert in this local area, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise:

Market Knowledge and Pricing are critical to success.  Realistic pricing frequently leads to multiple offers and a timely sale.  As a very active agent I have a very good sense of the competition in the marketplace ... not only the current competition, but more importantly, what is about to come on the market.  My clients on both sides of transactions benefit form my "inside track" information.  My fingers are always on the pulse of what is out there and who is looking.  This tells me how many buyers are ready, willing and able to make a purchase for a certain price point at a certain time.

Product Knowledge.  Over the years I have been very fortunate to work with many builders.  I have learned  great deal along the way and I am able to leverage that knowledge when selling a home or helping a buyer purchase a home. I know quality from flash, and can explain the nuances of a hydro air vs. hot forced air system!  All systems are  NOT created equal.  I can distinguish high-end lighting, cabinetry, tile, millwork and finishes vs. builder grade.  I know quality craftmanship.  

Pretty homes sell faster.  Oftentimes buyers don't visualize living in your home the way you do.  I  hire a professional photographer, a stager and any other professional that is needed to make your property show its absolute best.  I can recommend making repairs or minor improvements such as painting the walls.  And I can refer you to Coldwell Banker's RealVitalize program, which helps sellers with home improvements and repairs with no payment until closing.

Personal Service.  After the house goes on the market, the only person who will be in and out of your home is me!  

  • I accompany all private showings, host any Broker Open or Public Open Houses.
  • I answer my phone, texts or email ... promptly ... yours or any potential buyers or buyers' agents.
  • I meet with the bank appraiser to ensure that the loan goes through.
  • Meeting prospective buyers and buyers' agents give me the opportunity to know with whom I am dealing.  I can tell who is the decision maker, if they are emotionally attached to the house, just going through the motions, appeasing a spouse, or likely to back out.
  • I personally accompany my buyer clients to homes of interest.

Experience.

  • In 2004 while looking for a home for myself I realized how much I loved beautiful  homes and that I would like matching people to homes.      So ...  in 2004 I became licensed as a REALTOR® and have been a Top Agent in Lexington for over 12 years.

 

  • I have worked with many builders throughout my career.  Today, I choose to represent only two:  Dick Perry of Shaker Glen Construction and Ben Finnegan of Finnegan Development.  Why?  They share my views.  We are all people who value long-term relationships with clients.  I am honored to represent both.

 

  • Resales ... I admit it ... I love a pretty house!  I am genuinely more excited if a home is well decorated and shows well.  Two years ago, a seller told me after I sold her home that she chose to list her home with me because she could tell how much I loved the house.  I sold her home, which was a bit "on the high side" in less than a week.

 

  • Prior to real estate I was  owner of a successful small business (Premiums Direct).  Clients included Fidelity Investments, Ocean Spray, Nabisco and many other financial, high tech and food companies.

 

Success. 

Each year I sell many homes including off market transactions, most in the $1M to $2M+ range.

2016/2017 - Average Sale Price $1,765,000

2018         - Average Sales Price $1,753,000

2019         - Average Sales Price $2,032,125  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"We began working with Deborah in the fall of 2018 in preparation to sell our house in the Spring of 2019. Right from the beginning we felt confident that Deborah was going to help us get through process of selling our house. She provided exceptional suggestions to us to get our house ready. The people she enlists to help her prepare a house (painter, stager etc.) were equally as helpful as she is. Her knowledge and professionalism were evident throughout the process. Any time I called her with a question, she had an answer or suggestion. She was honest with us the whole time about what we could expect. "

  -Nicole Z, Client

"Hands down the best agent we ever work with! We highly recommend Deborah as she knows everything and everyone! Deborah provided us with in the inside track, telling us what was coming on the market, days or week before hitting MLS or better yet, off- market options. She provided very honest and direct feedback on whether it was a good match for us. We were looking for new construction & resales. She offered a wealth of information on builders, the building process as well information about the various neighborhoods. We ended up with a new construction house and she was there for us during every single step!"

  -Aga K, Client

"Deborah is without a doubt one of the best agents we have ever worked with. Her knowledge of the Lexington market is second to none - not just the basics like comps and neighborhood info - she knows what most of the builders in town are doing and what listings are coming and going. She absolutely knows what buyers want particularly in the higher-end range, and her recommendations are great. Deborah sold our house in record time, above asking price. I wouldn't hesitate to work with Deborah again, both as a seller's agent or a buyer's agent."

  -Andrew S., Client

"We were connected with Deborah because of her expertise and knowledge of the Lexington-area housing marketplace, along with her access to pre-market/off-market inventory. Our experience with her was absolutely fantastic. She was extremely knowledgeable about the market in Lexington and around, and became a true partner in our new house venture. Her responsiveness was close to immediate throughout our search. She understood exactly what we wanted, and advised us where our time would be best spent at open houses or talking to home builders. Deborah got us the house of our dreams, literally, but she also went beyond that to advise us on every step of the process until and after we moved in. There is no better option than Deborah to help you with buying a home - we recommend her highly! "
