Testimonials

  • Working with Debi was truly exceptional. She was the perfect mix of personable and professional, combined with infinite patience. Her knowledge of the different St. James neighborhoods and housing market was invaluable. We looked at many, many, many houses over almost a year. We kept coming from out of state to tour and when we talked about the possibility of renting, Debi found us the perfect rental home. Then it was only a matter of time to find the right home, which we did with her extraordinary help and support. All the way from our initial meeting to the final closing, Debi was simply the best. As we finally unpack the last of the boxes in our wonderful new home in St. James, we can look back on our experience and know it doesn’t get any better than this.

  • Debi's knack for going above and beyond is evident in her ability to unearth cash-flowing properties, some of which were off-market gems that only someone with her insight and network could access.

  • My wife and I were downsizing and knew absolutely nothing about St. James even though we had vacationed in Southport and Oak Island on numerous occasions. As we began our research on coastal communities, St. James continued to pop up with favorable amenities and reviews. We stopped by St. James Properties and met with Debi Gallo. That very day, we fell in love with St. James, primarily due to the attention and knowledge Debi showed us. From community highlights to special treats, she revealed not only the physical beauty of this hidden gem, she told us the history of the area. The market was tight and competitive, but her positive attitude kept us moving forward.

    When we made our selection, Debi was right there helping with all the details, making the purchase process and closing smooth and orderly. We've since become friends and see her and her husband socially. I highly recommend Debi Gallo, someone on the inside who not only lives in St. James but knows the surrounding home markets as well.
