We were blessed to receive a referral to engage Deb O’Mara as our real estate representative from a colleague, we serve on a mutual board together. In short, we had a phenomenal experience, every step of the way. As you are well aware, Deb has incredibly high energy and passion for what she does. What is typically a stressful experience, she made the whole journey enjoyable, seamless, and stress-free. She was incredibly professional, and as a buyer, we appreciated her aggressiveness. We are so thankful that we benefited from her expertise and leadership. We would highly recommend her to everyone….and we will!
We thought you should know about our EXCEPTIONAL experience with Deborah O' Mara while purchasing a home in Lakewood Ranch. If there is one word that would describe Deborah it would be "FANTASTIC", but there is no way you can describe Deborah with just one word. So here goes— she is highly Professional, Intelligent, Experienced, Personable, Meticulous, Energetic and Responsive (almost 24/7). We have never experienced such a commitment to customer service as Deborah provides. She really listens to and hears all your requirements and wants, and then goes out to find the perfect home for you. Since we were long distance buyers, Deborah made this sometimes stressful process very enjoyable for us. There is nothing better than working with an oustanding Realtor that really knows her business inside and out. Because she is an expert in Lakewood Ranch, Deborah exudes a confidence and expertise that makes buyers like us have full faith in her that she will do the best for us and SHE DID. In addition, Deborah is backed up by a truly great and responsive full service real estate organization at Michael Saunders & Company. A huge Thank You to Deb O' Mara for everything you did.
My father-in-law recently passed away and has a home in Lakewood Ranch. We have been tasked with closing out his estate which includes selling his home. Since we live up in Lutz, FL, we knew finding the right agent was going to be critical to a successful sale. After doing some research on the sale history of his home, Deb's name started coming up as having sold it and as we did a bit of research on Deb's successful real estate career, we felt that we had found the perfect person for a reason. Fast forward to meeting her the first time, we absolutely knew without a doubt that we would be listing with her. Not being from the area, she has been a Godsend helping us find contractors to do some repairs to the home before we were going to list it. We are thrilled to say, we were under contract before it even hit the market. So much of the success of this is based on Deb's experience and expertise on how to bring max potential to the sale. She has been thorough, patient, focused and very, very honest with us through this process. I am happy to say the official closing is tomorrow and we would not be at this point were it not for Deb. Please thank her and congratulations on having such an amazing person on your team. I will absolutely be recommending her and your agency every opportunity I have to family and friends local to the area.
Deborah's professionalism - always with the personal touch - her communication skills and her unending work for and service to each of her buyers and sellers is truly exceptional. Even though the house I was selling and especially the condo I bought were far below her million-plus dollar properties, I feel I got the same exact service and commitment from her.Be assured that I will give the highest recommendation to all my friends for both Michael Saunders and Deborah O'Mara. BRAVA!!
As we do not currently live in Florida and are not that familiar with the area we worked with Deb for a few months by email and a few times over the phone. We found her to be patient, very informative, confident in her knowledge of the Real Estate market, and very approachable. With Deb's knowledge and expertise in this area, our complete confidence and trust in her grew very quickly. We feel like we purchased a beautiful new home in Florida. We can not imagine an experience with a Real Estate professional to be any better than the experience we had working with Deb.We will always highly recommend Deb O'Mara to anyone looking for a home in the area.
Deb was the absolute best real estate professional I have ever had the privilege of knowing. She found a perfect property for my family and assisted us in all stages of the search, negotiation and closing. Deb always went above and beyond, amazing service! Nothing stresses Deb and she handled every phase of our transaction with true professionalism. I consider Deb a personal friend now and that is the highest compliment in my opinion. In my business, personal relationships are critical to your long-term success.
We would like to express our gratitude to Deborah O’Mara for her great attention and support in acquiring our lot and supporting us in building our beautiful Neal Home. Deborah, has shown great professional attention and diligence throughout the purchasing process as well as the post building support. We wish her great success in the future.
Deborah O’Mara was my sales agent. Deborah is very professional and goes the extra mile. She has lots of knowledge and energy. We needed the knowledge and energy and we received both. A top-notch agent.Thank You,Tom Stanfield
I would like to say I was very happy working with Deborah O’Mara and the Michael Saunders organization. I would not hesitate to recommend her and the firm to people I know that would need real estate services in the future.
My wife and I are both impressed with your company and in particular Deborah O’Mara for taking us through what can be a difficult process of house sale. Deborah was there in person when every we needed and performed with care, information and direction. She is a “star”!
My wife and I had the great pleasure to be served equally well by two of your agents involved in our purchase of a home in LWR.Deb O’Mara, the listing agent, showed a great amount of care in preparing, showing and maintaining the property. It was obvious that she was equally as concerned about making the sale as she was about protecting the interests of the sellers. Laura Navratil was the agent who represented us as the purchasers. We serendipitously stumbled upon the open house while we were out looking for a townhome/condo and liked it enough that we put in a full price offer that same day. Prior to this point, our involvement with Laura had been limited to a single showing of a condo. But we liked her attitude and her customer service orientation and so we were pleased to have her be our agent for the purchase. Throughout the entire process, Laura had been very helpful and most timely in her responses and actions. Her efforts over the course of time between purchase and closing proved that our initial impressions were well-founded.
My husband and I called Deborah O'Mara to discuss the possibility of having her put our home in Lakewood Ranch on the market for sale. She met with us at our home and understood that we were interviewing two other real estate agents from other companies so that we could make a decision about the pricing, marketing and which agent we felt we could trust with the sale of our home. Both my husband and I are senior citizens and realized that we were in need of someone that we could depend on to be forthright, caring and trustworthy. We were impressed with Deborah's experience, her direct and enthusiastic approach to us, and to the work ahead. We signed the listing agreement and prepared to move out of our home. We accepted her recommendations as to getting our home prepared for a new owner. She had professional photos taken of the property, put the home on the market, and did a remarkable job for us. We had two contracts by the second day on the market. We accepted the second contract and Deborah worked to help us all the way through the process of sale to the final closing day. We were so delighted to have met and worked with Deborah O'Mara. She was central to our success in selling our home. Deborah O'Mara was a delight to work with and a joy to know.
We had the opportunity and pleasure of using Deborah O’Mara, to list and sell our house, recently. She was FANTASTIC, being “on top of it” and tenacious on obtaining/following up on feedback from other realtors, for us!! We really appreciate this FABULOUS CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! She went above and beyond during this COVID epidemic situation, providing guidance throughout showings. Deborah’s suggestions, advice & effective communications were very instrumental during the closing process!! If the need arises, we wouldn’t hesitate to enlist Deborah’s valuable Realtor expertise, again!! Sincerely, Vi A. Biega
Deb’s professionalism, sincerity, wonderful personality, and knowledge of the market enabled us to choose from a vetted group of houses – making this a process of pleasure. Also, throughout this process, our interaction with members of your staff demonstrated the professionalism that obviously prevails throughout your organization. That said, without Deb, none of this would have been possible. I should note that Deb went above and beyond by looking after our new home by overseeing the inspection process while my wife and I were selling our home in New Jersey.
In selling our condo we met Deborah Angelo O'Mara. We found Debra, to be professional and helpful in all matters from A to Z. She advised us on how to make our condo look good. She kept us promptly informed on all prospective buyers' visits and offers. Frankly, we can't say enough good things about Debra. Suffice it to say that we still own a house in Lakewood Ranch. If and when we decide to sell it, we are going straight to Debra. The service was truly exceptional.
Working with Deborah O'Mara to sell our home in the Lakewood Ranch Country Club was one of the best decisions we ever made. Our property was built in 2008 by Wetherington Signature Homes within the LaCantera neighborhood. After 10 years of family living with two kids and two pets, we knew that in order to get the absolute best price, we would need to update and modernize certain parts of the home, through what Deb described as an "innovation renovation". The final product was amazing! Deb has such a detailed eye and knows what can make a house stand out. Deb also suggested a photography company to get the absolute best results which conveyed our home's indoor and outdoor entertaining elements. Through Deb's networking, she identified several buyers prior to listing, and sent those buyers the beautiful photography prior to the listing date. One of those buyers liked the house so much they called Deb and asked to be the first showing before the sign was even posted in our front yard. This buyer and family decided out home was an immediate match and we, fortunately, closed within a few weeks at full price! Working with Deb was a true pleasure and memorable experience. She is the definition of excellence and professionalism.
After a horrible first-time home buying experience, I took to the Michael Saunders website to find a new realtor who would not only find me a gorgeous home, but who would listen to what I had to say and take my opinions into consideration, as well as fight for me. After scouring all of the agents on the site, I came across Deborah O’Mara, whose resume shined with excellence and expertise. Within 20 minutes of calling her, I was standing in what would soon be my new home. As a first- time homebuyer, she exemplified the epitome of patience and always gave it to me straight. In working with Deborah, there was never a doubt in her level of professionalism and competence. Deborah's knowledge of the area and skill in negotiating on my behalf, led me into my two-bedroom sanctuary. When we would reach the next step in the home-buying process, she would have answers before I could even ask questions. In meeting Deborah, I was given my first home and a professional role model. I can only hope that other first-time homebuyers have the experience that I had, but I also know that can only be possible with Deborah as their real estate agent; there is simply no one more qualified, educated, or passionate than her. I highly recommend Deborah for all of your real estate needs. She is simply the best of the best. If you want someone on your side, you must call her. Deborah O’Mara is the Great White Shark of real estate — constantly moving forward, protecting her client, and doing so with grace and professionalism.
We just sold and bought a new home with the help of agent Deborah O'Mara. It was a wonderful experience. She is truly a great asset for Michael Saunders & Company. We will not hesitate to highly recommend her.
We were referred to Deb through friends of ours. Everything they told us about Deb was true! Her commitment to us as clients was evident from our first conversation. What made this purchase even more unique is that we did not physically see our home until closing day. Deb guided us through a virtual walk-through and made us feel like we were actually in our home. She is smart - motivated - funny - professional and truly loves working with her clients. We trusted her and that is why we now own "our dream home" in Lakewood Ranch.
For nearly fifteen years I was builder in Lakewood Ranch and worked closely with Deb O’Mara who was our extremely effective Sales Manager. Her experience and knowledge of the building process would be invaluable to any buyer, and her energy and follow through is refreshing. Deb is the ultimate New Construction and Real Estate professional with the rarely found construction experience. When considering a new home, I strongly recommend Deb to assist any buyer.
It would be remiss of us if we didn’t pass along how incredibly pleased we were with Deb OMara’s professionalism as a realtor. She always went above and beyond. She was our third realtor and we should have chosen her from the beginning. She definitely got the job done. We were confident after hiring her that if she couldn’t sell our Watercrest property, no one could??It has been a pleasure working with her. Best,Apres & Jay McLaughlin

My husband and I called Deborah O'Mara in November 2019 to discuss the possibility of having her put our house in Lakewood Ranch on the market for sale. She met with us at our house and understood that we were interviewing two other real estate agents from other companies so that we could make a decision about the pricing, marketing and which agent we felt we could trust with the sale of our house.

Deborah O’Mara is a highly successful, smart and able Neal Home professional. With her knowledge and experience in the arena of new construction, she would be of great value to buyers in selecting a home site and assisting them through the process of building a new home.
Thank you for the excellent photography, video, written description and marketing of our recent home listing, as well as negotiating a strong sale agreement, and representing us at the closing settlement. This is the third real estate transaction with you in the last four years. In regard to our recent 2016 sale, you certainly challenged the myth, “Never list your home for sale during the holidays” - listing our home in December and having it under contract the first week of January. This serves as an example of what you can do for clients. One thing very special about your business philosophy is that you continue to keep clients in your “family” after the sale is finished. Proven results, competent professional advice, and providing an extremely high level of trust...these are only a few of your many real estate talents.
I am a Michigan real estate developer and a licensed Michigan real estate broker. It just doesn't get any better than Deb O'Mara. We tried selling listing our house with an agent from another company before using Deb. Deb is extremely skillful, intelligent, communicated extremely well and is extremely hard-working. I'm convinced we wouldn't have sold the house without her. This was a very difficult sell for a number of reasons. She fought through the obstacles and got the job done. I have recommended her to others in the community. I really enjoyed working with her.
We were making a very long distance move and were not sure if we wanted to buy or build in Lakewood Ranch. After much research, we concluded that based on the recommendations of others regarding Deborah O'Mara, combined with her extensive background in selling hundreds of new homes in the area where we wanted to live, that she would be the best person to work with. After initially working with Deb, we realized that we found exactly the right person. Although Deb is consistently the top realtor for Michael Saunders, she always had the time and knowledge to answer all of our questions with a very timely 100% follow thru. We could tell that Deb really cares and looks out for her clients, and has been helpful in so many ways. She was tireless in showing us many neighborhoods and individual homes on the market in a very organized fashion. Deb ended up helping to find our dream area to build our new home and was instrumental in guiding our desires to a blueprint as well assisting us in finding the right builder. She far exceeded our expectations, and we really like her as a person.
