Thank you. Thank you. I could not have sold Leafy Court without you. Your knowledge, patience and support made a difficult process doable. You’ll be my first call when we need to sell.
— Linell D., Sykesville
Donna helped us get our price for our house! She worked with us and held our hand through the whole process. She was there when we had questions. She either had the answer or researched it and got back to us. She was an honest agent, which we valued. I would highly recommend Donna Weaver!
— Steve & Liz Ahern, Ellicott City
After the great experience my wife and I had buying our house ten years ago (living out of state, coming into town on a weekend and seeing over 30 homes), there was no doubt that we would go to Wendy to help us sell it. Her recommendations on upgrades to make, along with her assistance in More
— Chris Huang & Tanyaporn Wansom, Columbia
We had initially bought our house a decade ago with Wendy as our agent and given her outstanding performance then, we elected to use her again, this time for selling the house. As before, she put a lot of energy in helping us with all aspects related to preparing the house for sale. She is incredibly knowledgeable, always available and responsive, and able to provide valuable expert advice regarding all matters small or big.
— Afshin & Carolyn Parsa, Columbia
Charleen guided us through our first home buying experience from start to finish. At the outset, she outlined the entire process and was happy to answer all our questions along the way. She took time out of her schedule, even on off days, to make sure we were able to see all of the homes we wanted to see. She was a wealth of knowledge and insight; whether it was basic home-buying questions, insight into how to make a house “ours” through project ideas, or checking things off our “to do” list, Charleen had the answers - and if she didn’t, she found them for us or guided us to them. In fact, she’s developed relationships with colleagues that helped to streamline that process even more so. We will be wholeheartedly recommending Charleen to anyone and everyone ready to seek out their next home purchase with a down to earth, detail-oriented, knowledgeable, and insightful agent.
— Tim & Ashley Bubb, Arbutus
Rocky is the best. He quickly responded when we wanted to put an offer in on a house. He was able to meet us, put a contract together, then with his great work- we got us the house. We love our new home and can’t thank thank him enough.

— Marla Sherman, Columbia
Debbie has been an incredible and reliable buyer’s agent to us. As a first time homebuyer, she was very patient with us, giving us advice and very flexible with her availability. We would highly recommend her if you’re in the market for a home. Excellent customer service.
— Sandy and Michael Patterson, Columbia
Fantastic service. Very organized, good research helping to choose the right price. Sold the house quickly at the asking price. Seamless transition through closing. Wonderful experience. I can recommend Debbie without reservation.
— Corrine and Michael Daly, Ellicott City
We had great experiences with her and she offers best recommends on pricing and knows all the right contacts to get our house prepared and helps us to learn the process patiently. She is our agent since 2013 and by her awesome job we were able to buy two properties, in just 5 years. beside business activities, she is our best friend, as well. We love to work with her and would work with her every single time.
— Afshin Khavari, Laurel
Our experience with Donna was phenomenal! As first-time home buyers, we weren’t really sure where to start or what to expect, but she took her time and countless hours educating us on the process. Whenever we had a question, wanted to see a property, or wanted to know more about a listing, she always replied quickly. Donna made sure we had the tools and information we needed in order to find our first home and we couldn’t be more thankful for that. When it came to negotiating, she worked on our behalf to get the best deal possible and got more of our conditions met than the sellers were initially willing to agree to. Working with Donna was great and I’m so glad we put our trust in her in helping us close on our perfect starter home!
— David Perez, Baltimore
Dalia was instrumental in our home sale success! She was attentive, protected our interests, and anticipated our needs every step of the way. We were pleased with her professionalism and ability to support us in navigating all the seller steps, for example, the staging of our home, comparable reviews, marketing, negotiating. The process was fast and made easier with her on our side!
— Adam & Keli Wilson, Laurel
knowledgeable of the industry and puts his clients first. We have trusted his advice in all the real estate transactions that we have made and will continue to use him in further real estate deals for us. Here is what he has done for us. 1. 5926 Fairlee Rd 21075 listed and sold (2013) 2. 7138 Daniel John Dr 21075 Purchased (2014) Sold (10/2019) in 3 days !!!! 3. 1702 Spanish Oak Ct 21076 Purchased (2019
— James Carlton Wright, Hanover

We definitely recommend working with Debbie Gottwals for your home buying or selling needs. Debbie was highly responsive to emails, very organized, and represented us as buyers very well. She is very knowledgeable about the local market, and we felt at ease throughout the whole process knowing that we could trust her expertise and leadership.
— Hannah Floyd, Baltimore
Donna is the epitome of a truly professional agent. She is proactive, provides exceptional guidance in both process and decision-making, and goes above and beyond to help sellers sell quickly at the best price. Her performance during our contract as a seller’s agent was exemplary.
— Michael & Carolyn Fluharty, Glenelg
We are so grateful for Debbie! She really helped us focus our home search and made sure we made the best use of our limited time since we were traveling from out of state for showings. We learned a lot about what to look for just doing walk throughs with her. She was careful to point out issues that may be an expensive repair that I never would have noticed (like asbestos tiles?!) and was quick to pick up on preferences we didn’t even know we had. She answered all of my questions thoroughly and promptly and put in the extra time to save us from missing a deadline we overlooked. We relied heavily on her to help us with negotiations once we found a home we loved, and she secured a much more favorable agreement for us than we expected to get. Debbie’s extended network was all star as well. Her recommendations for mortgage lenders, title company, and inspectors were excellent and made it was clear that she was respected by her professional community as well. We are head of heels in love with the home she helped us find and could not be happier with the service she provided. I hope we never have to move again, but if we do - we’ll call Debbie.
— Brian & Lauren Englum, Lutherville-Timonium
Shannon is an exceptional realtor. She is professional, punctual, and advocates for her clients. It’s clear she wants her clients to understand the home-buying process. Shannon helped us sell our home in 2 days and for over asking price! She is outstanding!
— Aaron & Blaire Bycoffe, Sykesville
We’re so appreciative of everything Debbie did to help us with our home sale and new home purchase, and for how much time she spent on us. We couldn’t have asked for better guidance, and her recommendations for the home inspector, title company, etc. were top notch! Her advice to us was always with our best interest in mind, and we are so glad we used Debbie as our realtor. Would highly recommend!
— Savannah Elizabeth Est, Catonsville
On behalf of myself and Jacqueline (my wife), we want to thank Ms. Dalia Bracy for all of her guidance and professionalism during the selling of our home. During the first visit, I already knew we were in good hands. It was (and is) evident that Ms. Dalia is a hard-working self-starter who understands exactly what her goal is and how to get things done effectively. A resourceful, creative and solution-oriented professional who listened and tended to our needs, while providing sound counsel during tough decision-making situations....a mark of a true professional in her field. Her personal touch, charisma and overall approach won us over as a “life-Long” resource, realtor and friend. Well done, my friend!!
— Antonio Alicea, Montgomery Village
Rocky did an excellent job. He understood what we were looking for, and helped us find the right home. Rocky was extremely helpful in determining the condition of the homes and was very knowledgeable in any inquiries we had in possible improvements. Highly recommended!
— Matt Buie, Baltimore
Charleen is the best! She didn’t stop until she found us ours forever home! She made sure it was something I and my husband loved and of course a great area for our kids! Charleen always puts her client’s needs first. Thank you, Charleen, for helping us find our forever home we will forever be grateful!
— Michael and Michelle Eyler, Hampstead
Shannon Adler cares so much about her clients. We worked with her to sell two homes and she made the process as seamless as possible. She understands the high emotions involved in home buying and remains calm in even tough situations. She is extremely professional and works so hard to sell your home quickly. The best!!!!
— Amber Quiles, Owings Mills
Dalia was always available to answer any questions we had. She was also always very honest and direct but also cheerful! We were her nearly on site when she was showing the house and she always stopped and provided feedback on the showing.
— Christopher & Brenda Wood, Burtonsville

— Claire C.
Karen was always accessible and flexible throughout the entire process. From the staging suggestions to make our home more attractive to her strong business sense and negotiation skills, Karen always presented a high level of professionalism.
— Lisa Laubach, Baltimore
Rocky is the best. He’s extremely knowledgeable about not only the market but also home maintenance, repairs, and renovations. He was never once pushy with us and always listened to our thoughts and opinions (which we had a lot of). He went above and beyond our expectations, and has even continued to be helpful following the closing of our home. We highly recommend Rocky to anyone looking to buy (or sell) a home.
— Ryan & Kristen McGovern, Severna Park
Debbie was with my husband and I every step of the way through the selling of our condo. Her professionalism, knowledge of the process, and support were undeniable. I would highly recommend her as an agent to anyone buying or selling a home.
— Maureen Enstrom, Ellicott City
Rocky worked every possible lead to find us a qualified buyer for our home, and to find us an available home in our desired neighborhood. He is extremely responsive, very knowledgeable about the local market, and well-connected with local resources and contractors. He was our guide through the buying and selling processes with A+ service. We would enthusiastically recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell!
— Megan M., Columbia
We worked with Donna to buy and sell during Spring 2017. She was tenacious in her efforts and always available for a quick chat / text. During the close of the sale of our house the buyers noted that Donna was awesome and really sold them on the house and neighborhood during their initial visit at the open house...excellent representation!
— Matt & Jodi F., Jessup
Dalia made everything very smooth and easy for me, I was sent an updated list of homes in the areas I was looking on a daily bases. She was very responsive any time of the day or evening and weekends. She was very knowledgeable of the areas I was looking and was willing to look at as many houses as I wanted to. Overall I give her a 10! And would recomand her to anybody.
— Kellen H., Laurel
The Wendy Slaughter Team does everything top notch, and with class. They respond quickly to any and all questions. More than anything else, they make you feel like you have known them and been friends with them for a lifetime. They are totally wonderful!!
— Roger Miller & Jeff Lee, Fulton
Good morning Debbie,

Once again, we can’t thank you and Beth enough for all of your help during this transaction. Both of you were a pleasure to work with and made the process so much better.

It has been our pleasure to get to know you.. You will do GREAT in the real estate business as you are so easy to talk to and you were always one step ahead of us as far as what we should do next.

Hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year.
— Don and Sharon Stepp, Odenton
The daunting experience of buying a home was made easy by Rocky and team. Rocky was there for us every step of the way and explained in detail answers to all of the questions we asked of him. He is the model realtor we hoped for.
— Max Ohland, Glyndon
Dalia,

Left you a little Holiday treat at your front desk. Enjoy and thank you for your hard work, warm spirit, and professionalism. You’re the best real estate agent I have ever worked with.
— Brian and Sherma Badal, Baltimore
Debbie Gottwals did an excellent job. We appreciate the excellent photographs and excellent staging that was done to highlight the properties strengths. Debbie and the office manager, Tess, were available to answer questions and prompt in acting. Debbie met contractors at the house to facilitate getting estimates which I really appreciated.

You definitely went beyond the general offerings of two realtor’s I interviewed before selecting RE/MAX. They offered no suggestions, advice and just wanted to list the house as soon as possible. I felt that your collective broad knowledge of all aspects of selling a house (contractors, technical details of construction, the financial outlook for selling, the local climate of what prospective buyers are looking for, and your commitment to the job at hand) were vital for success.
— Jean & Carol Schroeder, Columbia
Wendy,

Tess just dropped off the brochures. Wow! I thought my house looked empty and sterile since I decluttered and had it painted. But your photographer is amazing… she made it seem so warm. I really like the brochure layout and the description is wonderful. Thanks to you and the team for making my home seem so impressive.
— Arlene, Columbia
I felt I was in expert hands throughout the process. Since the house was barely on the market, a lot of your work was focused on getting the sale through, and much of that (thankfully) didn’t make it on my radar. From what I could tell, this did involve going above and beyond the call of duty (including apparently applying large doses of that expertise), which was really appreciated. Above and through it all, Wendy’s style and sense of humor made the delays tolerable and the decision making feel both well-informed and relatively easy.
— Doug Y., Columbia
This was my first time buying a house! I thought it was a very smooth process and I felt very supported by the team. Wendy is awesome!
— Leigh Langmead, Catonsville
Just wanted to let you know of the great service I received from my friend, fellow church member, and realtor, Debbie Gottwals in the recent sale of my house. She was of great assistance in all stages of selling, from advice on de-cluttering, repairing, painting, staging, to price setting, legal and contract requirements. Having been in the house for almost 40 years there were lots of things to do. She was invaluable with her friendly and helpful guidance and professionalism.
— Bill Taylor, Clarksville
Debbie Gottwals made it SUCH an easy, exciting process! Getting all the ducks in a row was the toughest, but Debbie walked us through everything. Keep up the awesome work!!
— Kelly O'Driscoll
You guys covered everything and went way above from what I see. I can’t think of anything that you guys could have done better. Wendy and the group are the best. I would gladly refer you guys anytime…
— Lee Miller, Columbia
Wendy went above and beyond when our home’s HOA fell into unexpected litigation and worked tirelessly to seek a Plan B. We also really appreciate all the helpful e-mails Tess has sent us with regards to moving checklists and imperative reminders. We have definitely been letting our friends and neighbors know who they should turn to when it comes time to move. We love you, Wendy!
— David & Pauline Baek, Columbia
When it came time to sell my parents’ home there was no question who I should call on. I called on Wendy Slaughter and her team of professionals. Wendy brought Dalia Bracy to meet with my husband and I. Dalia was the perfect person to partner with us in selling my childhood home. She understood what a difficult time I was having and she lead me gently through the entire process. She is a great communicator; she kept us informed of every development, even when she was on vacation.

I told Wendy and Dalia that I wanted to sell the house “as is”, but they convinced me to spruce up the place just a bit and I’m so glad we followed the advice of their professional stager. The house showed beautifully and in less than a week after it hit the market, we had 6 offers; all for full price or better.

There were bumps along the road to closing, but Dalia is the consummate professional and helped me to remain calm. She always gave me solid advice. We wound up selling the house for more than the list price and we went to closing within 30 days.

I wholeheartedly recommend Dalia and The Wendy Slaughter Team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Their excellent advice and marketing strategy brought results that exceeded my expectations.
— Becky Kuehl, Silver Spring
You know how you know when God has placed someone in your life and as time goes by the reason becomes clear (er)! Well Debbie Meloni Gottwals, you are an absolute blessing! If anyone ever needs the BEST REALTOR EVER; give her a call! My baby girl and her hubby are homeowners and Debbie took such GREAT care of them (as I knew she would). Many blessings to you and your family Debbie, I wouldnt hesitate to refer ANYONE to you at ANYTIME!! You’re the best!!! You were patient and they spoke constantly about how you kept them focused and on task. Daisha said she made a friend and would absolutely use Debbie again in the future!! Your the bestest (yes Im making up words) realtor ever!!! She definitely raised the bar!
— Debbie Amos
Our family recently moved from Oregon to Maryland. Finding a home for our family was a top priority, but obviously quite difficult from across the country. We used Debbie Gottwals to help us during this exciting, but stressful time. We were not the easiest of clients — we changed our minds about areas and price range on many occasions. However, throughout our search, Debbie remained professional and determined to find a home that matched our needs. Certainly, if we ever find that we need to sell or buy a home again, we would not hesitate in calling Debbie to serve as our agent and we recommend her with the highest regard.
— Rachel and Charlie Camp, Ellicott City
Top 10 Reasons to Hire Wendy Slaughter

I have to give a HUGE shout out to our realtor, Wendy Slaughter. She got us the mac daddy house for an unreal price! We are so thrilled to finally be moving out of our townhome and into a full (HUGE) single family home. If you are considering buying a house, you are definitely going to want Wendy to be on your side!!!

Here are the top ten reasons why Wendy Slaughter is the best realtor I know:

1. She has a huge referral network of all the best people she knows to work with. Looking for a great home inspector? Call Wendy. Need your house designed? Call Wendy. Need a mold specialist? Call Wendy. Need a new stone fireplace? Call Wendy. Who needs the phone book when you have Wendy Slaughter?

2. She has a degree in Marketing and puts it to very good use in her realtor role. When we put our townhouse on the market, she did not cut corners on the listing- we really felt like we were listed as well as all of her million-dollar homes.

3. She knows the neighborhoods very well in Columbia and Howard County in general. Often times she would point out the parks that were popular and the different neighborhoods where she knew people lived.

4. When we listed our home, our neighbors had an issue with their lawn that was an eyesore and could have potentially cost us a sale. She called the village center for us and had them write a letter to the people asking them to remedy the situation.

5. She is a wealth of home improvement information. She was able to give us good ballpark figures for improvements we might need to do to homes we were considering buying. She also could point out improvements that were made and how that affected the value of the house.

6. She is a hoot! She can make me laugh-I think I spent more time laughing than anything during my house-hunting. Seriously, though, she knows how to deal with different personalities and that comes in handy when dealing with the personalities that sell homes.

7. She always looked out for our best interest. I know that in her heart she really wanted us to have a good house because she cared about us getting a good house.

8. She was informative in the negotiating process. She always gave us different scenarios that could happen and was very informative about what the other parties might be thinking.

9. She works very hard and was available to us even at 8pmon Saturday night.

10. She made us aware of potential health risks - radon, mold, electrical power lines...

Thanks Wendy for sticking with us! We really appreciate all your hard work!
— Jennifer Domenick and Ethan Urbansky, Columbia
 
We were so lucky to have Karen throughout this process, she has just been amazing. I know we asked her a million questions and made things more challenging with a newborn and toddler! But, she has just been a constant source of knowledge, patience, and positivity. We can’t thank her enough and are so excited that she’ll still be in our lives after closing!
— Ranju Shrestha, Laurel
Thank you very much Dalia. You made the process extremely easy and I appreciate everything you did to go above and beyond! I’m very glad my parents recommended you!
— Charleen Myles, Montgomery Village
The timing of putting the house to market was perfect, generating multiple offers and even a bidding competition that netted us far more than we expected. I don’t think this would have happened were it not for Debbie Gottwals setting the expectation of what we needed to do to get the house ready and Julie staging it so well.

Debbie guided us every step of the way with the sale of our home and purchase of our new home. The whole team was very responsive answering every question we had in a timely manner, providing all necessary documentation and making the whole process much less stressful than it could have been. We’ve worked with Debbie for the purchases of two homes now and would definitely work with her again.
— Todd & Melissa Grady, New Market
Debbie Gottwals paid close attention to my reactions to every place we visited, and by the end, she knew what I wanted as completely as I did. The process was easy and pretty smooth.
— Krista Stullken, Columbia
Fantastic service. Very organized, good research helping to choose the right price. Sold the house quickly at the asking price. Seamless transition through closing. Wonderful experience. Can recommend Debbie without reservation.
— Michael and Corinne Daly, Ellicott City
I enjoyed working with the entire team. They get things done. Keep up the good work!
— Clayton M., Columbia
Nancy and I want to express our thanks for all you have done to sell and close on our house in Maryland. There certainly were a lot of interesting (frustrating) bumps in the road on this (not your fault of course), but you stayed on top of them and got us to the finish line. I am sure there was more than once you thought...”not Bob again” but you came across professional and helpful.

Thank you Debbie Gottwals and may you have continued success in your real estate business....with your energy and enthusiasm I can’t imagine anything else. And please....share our thanks with Tess. She did a wonderful job on the details..

Thank you again.
— Bob & Nancy Kyte, Burtonsville
Thank you for your help-today and throughout this entire process. Your expertise, professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail have been immensely helpful. We are grateful for all your work and we wish you a wonderful Thanksgiving!
— Tamara & Brian Tenney, Laurel
Wendy has a lot to offer any buyer or seller. She is a marketing expert and created a winning strategy for us to buy our dream home. Wendy’s team provides extra services that make a huge difference in your real estate experience such as staging and operations support. Wendy’s team makes the process fun and easy. This team is trustworthy, hard working, and delivers personalized service and results. They helped my family with 3 transactions this year - they are my go to real estate team.
— Holly Huntley, Columbia
I felt that Wendy went above and beyond my expectations for a Realtor®. Help was offered at every step! The marketing worked very well for us. Overall, the process was easy and Wendy did everything possible to make it even easier.
— Isabel Machado, Ellicott City
Rocky was always available and willing to help. He was very flexible, very patient, and always listened to us. Simply exceptional!
— -Shannon Ciconte, Sykesville
I just purchased my first home, and I could not have asked for a better agent than Dalia. She is caring, compassionate and walked me through every step of the process. She answered all of my questions and calmed my fears. She even knew which house I was going to buy before I did! She is AMAZING, and I would recommend her over and over again.
— Lisa Johanson, Columbia
Debbie Gottwals is great and handled everything promptly and creatively when needed. I don’t think things could have gone much smoother! :)
— Melissa and Doug Glascoe, Severn
We really appreciated how available you and your team were to answer any of our questions. We often had replies to emails within an hour or sooner! We loved the flier and thought that it presented our house in a very positive way - working with your stager was a breeze. Her small suggestions made the house look much better!
— Kerry Grove, Columbia
The Wendy Slaughter Team went out of their way to help me sell my home AND purchase a new one! They brought in a stager and a professional photographer who made my home look like a model. Their marketing strategy was so efficient that my home sold in only 11 DAYS!

When purchasing my new home, we were up against 2 other offers. Wendy’s expertise helped us secure the home we wanted. Selling and purchasing a home at the same time can stressful, but with Wendy and her team on our side, we were in good hands.

Wendy and her team know real estate and they know how to keep their clients happy. I would recommend them to anyone looking to purchase or sell their home!
— Irma Oliver, Columbia
We were so impressed with the team. I was blown away when Wendy, while on vacation, handled a mini hiccup. I also loved the excitement you all showed to us during the process. I [can’t] imagine how Wendy got everything done so fast, the photography, the brochure, etc.
— Aisha & Akbar Masood, Columbia
Hi Wendy,

This is to say a big THANK YOU for all you did for us as we looked into buy a home. We appreciate your professionalism, your patience and the hard work you put into guiding us through the process. Despite being first time home buyers, we did not feel lost at any stage. We would be glad to refer any prospective buyers we know of.

We approached closing with mixed feelings. On one hand, we were very happy we were closing on such a great home. On the other hand, we knew we were going to miss the frequent talks/calls/emails with you. Since we are all still in the same area, we hope to keep in touch.

Have a nice day!
— Adebowale and Gloria Adeyemo, Columbia
Dear Wendy,

I truly appreciate all your help and support with the entire home buying experience and I couldn’t have asked for a better realtor - Debbie included! I truly enjoyed our home shopping outings because they were, simply put, a lot of fun. I felt very lucky to have you working with me during my FIRST home buying experience, and I look forward to the next time too. I’m disappointed we won’t be chatting more often, but I’ll keep you posted as to how the house is coming along.
— Carina D., Columbia
Hi Debbie,

Thank you for your patience, effort, and energy in helping us to find a home that we’d be happy with! You were able to work effectively on our behalf in dealing with the moldy basement we found in one property at the 11th hour. We appreciate the helpful information and resources about the various neighborhood settings and communities of Howard County- as if they were your own backyard. Our interests were your interests....

Perhaps the best thanks comes from remembering that this was our first experience buying a home and you made it enjoyable! We’ve been handing out your business cards....

All the best,
— Paul & Mila Johnson, Columbia
Hey Wendy-

I just wanted to write and tell you how much I appreciate all your hard work as my realtor. Being in the real estate business myself I wasn’t sure if I really needed to use a realtor. However, after having worked with you I can definitely say I did. You were so knowledgeable, thorough and efficient. I can’t imagine what the process would have been like without you. The time and effort you put into helping me find the perfect house at the perfect price was phenomenal. Seriously, I can’t give you enough praise! I was really impressed with your competence and professionalism. The process was not only painless it was actually a lot of fun! You were so awesome to work with in every sense of the word!!

I really want to thank you again and I will send you before and after pictures when I am done decorating!
— Laura B., Ellicott City
Wendy,

You helped us search all around Maryland only to return to the same neighborhood where we were renting a home. You were very patient with us through the process and even though you probably knew we’d end up where we started, you helped us discover what our family needed - and in a time crunch! You helped us manage our family’s personalities through the roller coaster ride of finding the right home. We felt advised as a friend and professional and we are really appreciative. Now that we are in our home, it is comforting to own our property for the same amount of money we were spending on rent. It’s nice to have a place to call our own. Thank you Wendy!
— Debbie and Mark Howell, Columbia
Wendy and her team went above and beyond what we had expected from a realtor. Beginning with preparing the property for sale, dealing with unforeseen events along the way, and up to the final moments of settlement, she was there for us every step of the way. Wendy is a fantastic person to work with and we would recommend her to anyone who is in the market to buy or sell a home!
— Jack & Adair Crosby, Elkridge
This was my first time buying a home, and honestly I hope the process goes as smoothly if and when I go through the home buying process again. I was able to give a pretty big list of criteria for what I was looking for and got many great suggestions from that list. One of which was the house I ended up purchasing, which I would have likely not found otherwise. It was also nice to know that I was able to contact my realtor after the purchase for help and advice. In general you were all very accommodating with my time constraints and schedules for everything.

The hardest part was choosing and dealing with the mortgage company. Debbie Gottwals was very helpful with the information she gave me about the loan process and I felt much more comfortable talking to banks after that.
— Mike Altebrando, Columbia
Wendy,

I know we wouldn’t have made it to the settlement table if we had been working with anyone other than you. It was challenging for all of us at times, but your fun yet professional approach made it much easier to stay on track and be persistent. You put a refreshing level of detail and energy into everything – so it’s no wonder you succeeded in the seemingly impossible mission that was put before you.

We enjoyed working with you tremendously on the sale our home and we continue to appreciate your interest and advice as we get closer to the purchase of a new home. You are exceptional at what you do!
— Donna & Steve Ball, Ellicott City
Debbie got me into my dream home! She truly went above and beyond what I would have expected a realtor to do! After paying over $1,300 a month to rent an apartment, I decided to put that money towards better use and try to buy a house. Debbie took me through more houses than I can even count, and she kept my spirits up when I wasn’t finding the perfect house early on in my search. When I finally found the one, Debbie worked endlessly to get me in… and she got me a better deal than I ever could have imagined! There were major complications with the lender I had picked and I thought I had lost the house for good. Debbie kept working and wouldn’t let me give up hope. She set me up with a different lender and made the deal happen! Between the interest rates being as low as they are and the $8,000 tax credit I can’t think of a better time to buy a house. If you’re in the market to buy a house, give Debbie a call and you’ll be in great hands! Thanks again for all the hard work Debbie! You turned my dream of home ownership into a reality!
— Allison H., Ellicott City
 
Our experience with Debbie Gottwals was amazing! She is a realtor of the highest integrity and sold our house in a week for full asking price. Debbie is data driven and prices homes based on realistic comps so houses sell and not sit. Her marketing is incomparable. She, her stagers, and photographers created a fabulous brochure that represented our house beautifully. Working with Debbie was seamless. I have recommended Debbie to other friends and neighbors who have worked with her and saw similar results. She is absolutely the best!
— Jennifer Lyons-Keefe
Debbie is the best! She is very knowledge of buying and selling houses in MD she just walked me through the home buying from beginning to end. I told her what I was looking for and she ran with it! My process was long and had some issues outside of our control, but Debbie was always there finding out answers and just keeping me encouraged. She is very patient and knew answers to my questions before I knew I had the question..lol. She is always available via e-mail or phone, I know she had other clients, but she made me feel like I was her only client. When the day comes that I am ready to sell my house I will call Debbie again.

My son and I initially connected with Shannon at an open house in our neighborhood. Her friendly demeanor and easy rapport with both myself and my son made me think she would be a good realtor to help my family’s search for a new home. She absolutely was the perfect choice. As you probably are aware, Shannon is a fabulous realtor. She has a great intuition for the local market and for the investment potential for properties. She is diligent, meticulous, and responsive. We always felt like we were her priority. We were difficult clients, having loosely-defined criteria that we felt very particular about. She took the time to get to know us and our preferences. We never felt our time was wasted on any showing and, in the end, we found a lovely home in Allview Estates that is perfect for us. We’ve just moved, but already feel at home.

Rocky’s gregarious personality was a perfect foil to Shannon’s calm demeanor. His expertise was invaluable in formulating offers that were competitive and fair. We never felt misguided under his direction.

In the end my husband and I feel very fortunate for our experience with Team Rocky-Shannon, as we know them. We have had negative experiences in our previous realty exchanges. This experience was nothing but positive. We walked away smiling; feeling confident in our purchase.

Everyone was very helpful and very knowledgeable and did everything they could to make our process pain free. Marketing flyers were well done and professional and the list of upgrades were extremely helpful in selling my property. Everyone in the office was extremely helpful and gave us more than enough information in what we needed to do to not only to sell our property, but to buy another one as well.

I’ve known Rocky for a number of years and even when he was not working as our realtor he stayed in contact with us. We are a military family that has to move around a lot. We rented our first house through him. We bought our house in Maryland from him and then once we moved out of Maryland and had to rent the property he worked with us when we had it as a rental property for six years until we sold it. He has always been honest and straightforward with us and would tell us whether we were making good decisions or not and whatever was best for us. I would highly recommend him to anybody as a realtor. If I ever move back to Maryland and I’m looking to purchase a property he will be the first one I would call regardless of where it’s located.

Donna was very sweet, patient and listened to all our needs. She always made herself available whenever something suddenly came up even if we didn’t notify her ahead. Thorough, very detailed are some of that words to describe her. Thank you Donna for helping us purchase our beautiful home.

Dalia was wonderful to work with. She had complete knowledge of the area I was looking in, was insightful in helping me find my perfect home, and guided me well in the negotiation. Not only is she knowledgeable, friendly, and understanding of the stresses of buying and selling homes, but she was exceedingly responsive. If I reached out, she almost immediately got back to me. She has my 100% confidence and I’d recommend her to anyone.
— Lisa Hines, Ellicott City
Wendy Slaughter was and is my hero. She hung in with us and worked thru every single detail. She was totally amazing and I would recommend her to ANYONE new to the area or leaving that with her, they would be in fabulous hands. Her people skills, love, compassion, work-ethic and know-how is really what helped make the process a positive one....

Donna is a superb agent in all respects! I have known Donna for years. She worked with our family in the purchase of a condo, the later rental of the condo, and then most recently the final sale. All our dealings with Donna have been smooth and efficiently done. Donna is extremely personable and has always promptly responded to any of our questions when needed. In addition to being responsive, her communication skills are simply top notch as she has the ability to explain the transaction process in an easily understood manner. Even more importantly, she listened to our concerns and got to know and understand us very well. Her expertise of the market and process, as well as her advice and negotiation skills have been a tremendous help to us as well. She has always worked diligently for us and we have always felt assured in her confidence, leadership and tenacity to get us the best possible outcome! Overall, Donna is an utmost professional and I cannot say enough positive things about her. Our family has been extremely fortunate to have her on our side!

Dalia,

Again, thank you *so* much for your help and for going above and beyond for us. We really appreciate it! Moving has to be up there at the top of stressful activities, and knowing that we had you to count on made it much easier.
— Laura Fisher & Bill O'Brien
Rocky - We enjoyed working with you and I very much appreciated all your help and expertise with selling the house!
— Kim R., Glen Burnie
What’s more than above and beyond? Whatever it is, that is what we experienced. If i hadn’t just bought my forever home, I’d be stoked about buying/selling with you again. But since that won’t happen, I’ll have to settle for recommending you to everyone I know. Keep kicking ass!
— Michael & Kerry Grove, Ellicott City
Wendy and Debbie Pavlik were fantastic - they went above and beyond! We felt they looked out for our best interest from start to finish. When things got stressful, they stepped in and made sure we were taken care of. I think our townhouse was marketed great. I loved the staging process and how beautiful the pictures came out.

The most difficult part of the buying process was the loan paperwork and dealing with Bank issues. Wendy and Debbie did a great job of supporting us through the ups and downs of that process. We were very happy with how everything was handled.
— Karen & Billy Blickenstaff, Elkridge
Our experience with The Wendy Slaughter Team and more specifically our agent Dalia Bracy was
absolutely amazing. They were well prepared, walked us through every step, and kept us informed and provided professional experts to prepare our house for going on the market. In spite of our unusual circumstances and timing issues, we went on the market and had contracts in 4 days. Then Dalia took us through a dizzying array of forms and agreements working with the buyer and their agent to close the deal at asking price within two weeks. We could not have hoped for a better outcome and we are
confident that the Wendy Slaughter Team was the reason!
— Jim & Kathy Hottel, Columbia
We felt like Rock Star Clients with the way that we were treated. The communication was above and beyond. Thanks again for everything!
— Darin & Erin Segal, Columbia
Debbie Gottwals did a fabulous job helping me prepare my estate property for sale. The property sold quickly and she was with me for every step of the transaction.
— Patty Fitzgerald, Columbia
The experience was great. Having the stager was a great benefit too. We were pleased with how Wendy handled the negotiations and the entire sale process. We would definitely recommend The Wendy Slaughter Team to anyone looking to sell their home!

Three weeks ago today, Jason and I moved into our dream home. Now that I have most of the boxes unpacked and the furniture in, I need to properly thank our amazing realtor, Debbie Gottwals. She helped us find our rental (in 2 days, with no notice, and we needed to move in 1 week later) when we moved to Maryland in 2012. We gave her 3 or 4 months off, and then immediately started looking at homes to buy. We looked at over 100 homes over 14 months, considered acreages and properties in the city, wrote 4 offers (2 of them on the same house), considered building, dealt with a short sale and a foreclosure, worked with 3 lenders, and changed our mind about a million times. She was easy to work with and patient through it all, and even put up with the differing opinions of Jason and I during the process. If you live in Maryland and need a realtor, you would be crazy to use anyone else!

Thanks Debbie!
— Mary U., Baltimore
Wendy made it a personal experience. She truly related to us on an emotional level. She was like a friend not a realtor. Everything was quick, immediate, and important to her. The marketing was excellent and the flyers loked great.We appreciate her willingness to go above and beyond the call of duty. She was always available to us at any time of day, answered our questions honestly and candidly, and helped us learn about the selling process. Wendy made the emotional process of leaving our home, of 8 years, smoother and easier than I thought possible. Thank you Wendy for helping me smile through my sad tears after settlement. Our housewarming gift from the WST will be forever treasured.
— Suzanne Ludicke, Columbia
Wendy,

We really appreciate all your professionalism & guidance through our first selling experience. I must say you’ve really set our realtor expectations very high!
— Michelle & Greg Mumford, Columbia
Debbie played a pivotal role in finding me the perfect townhouse. She was constantly sending me updated listings of new homes on the market that met the criteria I was looking for in a place. She was readily available to look at those places of interest and patient with me in finding the right place evident by my file which had about 70 listings in it. She has made herself available for any questions that I have had after my closing. Debbie is extremely knowledgeable about the area and the real estate market and quite dedicated to helping individuals find their dream home. If you are interested in buying a house, then I would recommend obtaining Debbie’s services as she will put forward her best effort in finding you your dream home.
— Audra S., Columbia
Thank you (& your amazing team) for all the hard work that went into the sale of our house. We are so happy it went so smoothly. Awesome teamwork, great communication, friendly and professional! We couldn’t have found a more knowledgeable and effective Realtor® team! Highly recommended!
— Erika & Jason, Baltimore
