Why Work With Pitell-Hauge Sebastian Team?
Here's what our satisfied customers are saying about us:
My husband and I recently purchased a home in Lakewood Ranch. Debra Pitell-Hauge did an extraordinary job representing us. She went over and above to help us find the perfect home and make the buying process seamless and stress-free. She went so far to protect us from a difficult situation when she knew we were coping with a hurricane in PA. Her assistant, Mary Deur, was also extremely helpful and professional.

In 2012 my husband and I purchased a condo in Beachplace on Longboat key and enjoyed spending part of our winter vacations in this beautiful spot, often with our family or friends. But as our family grew we found we needed more room so we decided to sell the condo and build a larger home on the mainland in Sarasota. Our real estate agent at the time took us to Esplanade By Siesta Key, we fell in love with this community and built our home there. We decided to sell the condo but two different agents were unsuccessful in finding a buyer for us.One of the first people we had met in Esplanade was Debra Pitell-Hauge and while talking to her discovered that she was very successful at selling condos at Beachplace. We filed that information as we had decided by this point that we would rent the unit while we got ourselves situated in our new home. Debra continued to keep us apprised of the real estate news at Beachplace and sent us listings that she felt were comparable to our unit in the hopes of enticing us to sell. We were having no trouble renting the unit so for the time being left the idea of selling alone. But Debra was persistent and eventually brought us an idea of an offer that we just had to consider. She knew that it was a seller’s market and suggested a price that we could probably get for our unit. My husband and I both thought it was way overpriced but we also felt that Debra knew her stuff and so we agreed to list for 90 days to see what would happen. After only hours of being listed we couldn’t believe it when Debra brought us a full price cash offer with no conditions! We were “gobsmacked” to say the least that Debra had delivered exactly what she had promised and were sorry that we had ever doubted her ability to read the market and find the perfect buyer for our property.Debra was scheduled to go out of town shortly after we signed the agreement but was still able to find agents to check the A/C, locate extra keys for the buyer and coordinate a myriad of other closing details from afar. We couldn’t have asked for a more thorough, detail oriented agent to initiate, proceed through the details and conclude this sale than Debra. She succeeded where others had failed to sell our property and we only wish we had met her sooner! When others ask us to recommend an agent to buy or sell their property, Debra is the person we will suggest.Two very happy sellers,Carol and Gino Lombardi

From the moment we were introduced to Lisa we knew we were in good hands. Lisa was in charge of many of the logistical details of completing the sale of our condo and was one of the most thorough people we have ever met. We were very impressed with her ability to keep us apprised of every detail that needed to be addressed and to follow through to see each item successfully completed. Lisa was our liaison with the Beachplace administration, our rental agency, our lawyer, the Town of Longboat Key, and the prospective buyers among others, and saved us hours of time that could have been spent on the phone navigating the administrative details of selling our property.We had a specific picture in the condo that held sentimental value for us and Lisa went above and beyond to locate the said picture, remove it from the condo and relocate it to our home in Sarasota. It seemed that any request we made or any detail that needed to be addressed was executed in a timely manner and no request was outside of her scope of ability. Lisa was very cognizant of the fact that we were trying to execute this sale from Canada and she was able to decrease our level of anxiety greatly.

1/12/2022Last spring, our daughter, Kris Bagley, and her husband decided to move to Sarasota from Orlando. In choosing a realtor, I suggested Debra Pitell-Hauge. She had recently worked with close friends of ours in selling their waterfront home and relocating to a villa. They were verypositive in their evaluation of her abilities.Because Kris found a teaching position here, she has been living with us since last August when the new school year began. So we have been a part of the process of finding an appropriate new home with Debra and Lisa Sebastion.Together they made and outstanding team – very professional and thorough in guiding Kris through this process. Debra shared her years of knowledge and experience. And Lisa’s energetic approach to immediate follow-up and detail work was immaculate. Although Kris was their client, they kept us in the loop so we were all on the same page throughout.Debra and Lisa were a pleasure to work with and we would highly recommend them to anyone needing very capable and dependable real estate skills in selecting a new home.Sara and Jim Bagley

My husband and I have purchased and sold a unit in Promenade Condominiums this past summer, as well as recently purchased a unit in Tangerine Bay closing this past September 17. During each of the purchases and closing, we have worked closely with Debra Pitell-Hauge and Lisa Sebastian from beginning to end of the transaction. It has been a pleasure working with them in each of these sales. They are knowledgeable and up-to-date on trends and ideas to help us with our transition. Being that we flew in on many occasions on short notice, they have also been available every time for consultations and showings. when needed. Their exceptional work ethic and professionalism are unsurpassed. We are looking forward to working with each of these outstanding ladies in the future.

We were impressed with Debra from our initial meeting. Her organized preparation for our meetings, the selections of properties for viewing, and her communication skills were outstanding. Most of all, her professionalism was second to none. She proved to be extremely knowledgeable in the current real estate market on Longboat Key and the Sararsota area. With her negotiation abilities, our offer was accepted. The entire experience proved to be positive.
