Debby was the listing agent for the sale of our condo at Windward Bay. She responded quickly when we finally made the difficult decision to list our condo. We were hoping to have an Open House the upcoming Sunday to take advantage of other open houses occurring in our complex on that same day. With Debby’s marketing plan and strategic listing price, we had a huge turnout at the Open House on Sunday and by Wednesday morning we had three offers. Our home sold significantly over the listing price. In addition, to allow us time to purchase another property and comfortably move, Debby successfully negotiated a post-occupancy agreement for up to six months after closing.

Debby is skilled at coaching the client to stage their home in its best light, including giving us ideas on how to better utilize the space. For the Open House, she even brought in fresh flowers for each room.

Once the offer was received, she walked us through the entire process every step of the way. We did not have to worry or think about anything because she was on top of it before we even could react.

Debby didn’t “fade away” once the condo closed, like many realtors do, but instead continued to manage the process all the way through the close of our post-occupancy license and the final return of our security deposit from the owner. I don’t know many realtors who would go above and beyond the way that she did. Debby definitely provides “Diamond” service.

Debby McCaig is trustworthy, honest, open, transparent, reliable, and was always available to answer any questions and address any concerns we had throughout the entire process. We became very good friends through this process and would not hesitate to highly recommend Debby McCaig’s “Diamond” service and expertise to anyone.

Given that I myself am a real estate broker in another state, I did not think I “needed” a realtor and could save some money by selling “for sale by owner” instead.

Debby McCaig proved me wrong!!! Not only was my life made infinitely easier, but through her expert negotiating and thinking outside the box, she more than paid for herself by getting a fantastic CASH offer for my condo.

Debby was tenacious to say the least! She has meticulous attention to detail and made sure everything was taken care of! I cannot recommend her highly enough! I will surely use Debby again when it comes time to sell my current home, and you should too!!!!

I met Debby Daly McCaig at an Open House on Longboat Key. Although the minimum rental period did not meet my requirements, I knew instantly that she was the real estate professional I wanted to work with. I hired Debby to facilitate a "For Sale By Owner" transaction on Anna Maria Island. This transaction was very complicated, taking three different closings with extensions, to finally close because of a renter not vacating the property. Dozens of challenging phone calls to the seller were tactfully transacted by Debby. The seller was not a realtor and thus required much education and guidance about selling a home. Debby's detailed, professional, timely and creative communication with both the seller and myself, the buyer, kept this deal intact for four months until the seller was finally able to deliver occupancy and possession free of tenants prior to closing.

Solely because of Debby and her negotiating expertise, I now own a beautiful ground level condo on the bay with a two minute walk to the Gulf of Mexico. She is amazing. Any buyer or seller would be very wise to hire Debby McCaig. She is tenderly tenacious.

Debby Daly McCaig gets the job done.

As a real estate investor and longtime resident of Longboat Key, I have worked with many real estate agents over the years. I understand that hiring the right listing agent is a critical decision and paramount to the highest and best business outcome. When it came time to choose a listing agent for our Villa at Windward Bay, the decision was simple and easy. We chose real estate professional Debby McCaig. Quite frankly, her energy, passion, enthusiasm, communication, negotiating skills, and most importantly her extensive knowledge of Windward Bay is unsurpassed.

Debby exceeded her promise of diamond customer service. After closing, she even took the time to introduce the new owners to the office staff, bridge club, and a few people at the pool. (She shared that she wanted to make sure that the first day moving in for the new owners was a memorable and happy day.)

Best of all, to the penny, Debby sold my unit at her projected market value amount, exceeding my expectations. I do not hesitate in recommending Debby McCaig. In my opinion, the best listing agent I have ever encountered.

Sincerely-Barry L.

I can not express how thrilled we are that we chose Debby as our Realtor for the sale of our home at Windward Bay on Longboat Key. She is passionate about Windward Bay, but more importantly about the people she comes into contact with.

As a fellow Realtor in Canada, I would not hesitate to refer her to my own clients looking to buy in Florida, nor would I hesitate to shout her name from the rooftops here on Longboat Key.

Debby is caring, compassionate and approaches her business as relationship building, not as a transaction. She exceeded our expectations on sale value. Listening to her passion for her business and Longboat Key, you know she is a special agent and person.

Our sale was seamless, easy and stress free. We thank her for helping us navigate through the different processes here in the USA than those in Canada.

Debby McCaig is a premier realtor – a very nice person, and a joy to work with where she handled every aspect of the sale of my condominium on Longboat Key, after 22 years as an owner there.

Debby thought of everything and got everything done in record time with amazing aplomb. Always with a smile, even during some tough negotiations and complex arrangements, changes and scheduling. She did everything she promised to do, on time, and was available to handle my questions without delay.

Best of all, she sold my unit for far more than I imagined anyone could, and got a cash offer with a full settlement in three weeks.

I’ve dealt with a number of realtors over the years. Debby is the best. I highly recommend her to you.

Sincerely, Charlie R.

Debby Daly McCaig was the buyer’s agent for the purchase of our new condo in St. Petersburg, FL. Although she is centered in the Longboat Key area, she was happy to show us properties in Tierra Verde, St. Petersburg, and surrounding Tampa areas.

Debby has the ability to navigate through situations that may look like a “no go” and turn them into a “go”. We wanted to make an offer on a townhome in Tierra Verde that unfortunately only allowed one small pet. Debby’s outside of the box thinking kicked into gear. She proposed contacting the Board to see if a “One Time Temporary Accommodation” for a second pet was possible. Debby successfully negotiated and obtained in writing, a temporary accommodation for the remaining lifetime of our elderly 2nd dog from the HOA Board. Debby’s first hand working knowledge of HOA’s along with her Florida C.A.M license proved invaluable many times during our buying process.

In the end, Debby submitted a complex offer for a townhome in St. Petersburg, contingent on the sale of our Longboat Key condo, competing against a no contingency cash offer. Debby’s offer included a post occupancy for the seller along with the personal touch of who the buyers were and conveying why the buyers wanted to purchase the sellers home. The sellers chose our offer.

When the listing agent fell short in managing their contract-to-close responsibilities, Debby stepped up to the plate by taking a leadership role resolving the issues, ensuring an on time successful close. I don’t know many realtors who would go above and beyond the way that she did. She always had our back. I would not hesitate to highly recommend Debby, her professional expertise and “Diamond” service to anyone.

Debby McCaig is one of a kind.

Debby Daly McCaig is an outstanding individual. Throughout the entire process she was professional, precise, diplomatic, proactive and simply a delight to work with. She attended to every detail, many of which we had no prior knowledge about. We cannot say enough good things about her - she made the entire process smooth and kept us abreast at every stage. She went above and beyond any level of expectation we could have had. We have complete confidence in her and would recommend her without hesitation. We hope to work with her again in the future.

As a realtor myself, I can confidently state that Debby McCaig is an exemplary realtor. With three like-kind units for sale at the time, three different realtors, Debby secured the top sales price for our condo. She stayed the course! When a lower offer was received, compared to her current market assessment value, her professional advice was patience. For Debby it is only about the best outcome for the seller, even though it meant additional days or weeks of work.

With active construction in the “A” building, hindering showing availability weekdays, Debby routinely organized showings with realtors and buyers early mornings, lunchtime, or after 5. She hosted Open Houses both Saturdays and Sundays to ensure the highest viewing traffic possible. No lockbox for this realtor, Debby was always there to greet and answer questions with her never ending smile and enthusiasm. She even brought flowers and home baked cookies to our open houses! Debby made sure we were always up to date on the progress of open houses, showings, and most importantly each step from contract to close. In such a volatile market it was wonderful to have Debby on our side! She expertly handled things when the unexpected arose and was able to ensure all of our I’s were dotted and T’s crossed. As a former office manager at Windward Bay, she has an unparalleled understanding of the community which was vital to our successful closing at a great price. If you’re looking for a realtor, look no further!!

As two retired educators (who have hired and supervised hundreds of faculty, staff and students), we wanted to write a testimonial to praise the personality of a principled professional. Our world of educators would describe Debby as “a straight-A summa cum laude star.”

Debby is accomplished; she ran our Longboat Key condo office ably and flawlessly. In doing so, she was adored by the several hundred condo owners. She greeted anyone with authentic and animated warmth. (That’s 5 A’s!)

Once in a while we have come across an individual who radiates as a 5-star. Such is the stature of Debby McCaig. We trust her to execute a sale of our property with a five star effort. Such is the modus operandi of Debby McCaig. Carpe diem.
