To start out on this housing journey can be quite challenging especially during these times we live in. I am so grateful to have seen Allen Tate's logo during a Panther's game and heard their advertisement on radio. I wasted no time emailing the person who would become my agent, and that is Debbie Higgs. From the moment we met, I knew I was in the right place with the right person, and her expertise and knowledge has allowed me to be at ease and I am so grateful. Thank You Debbie and your team for all the time and effort you put in to making my housing process run smoothly.
Pat Brown
Dear Debbie, Thank you so much for all your help with the buying process. Your expertise and knowledge has allowed me to know I have chosen the right person, and I am so grateful to you. You have made this buying process simple and easy to comprehend. You also listened and knew exactly what I wanted in a home. Certainly, I appreciate and thank you for your patience, kindness and assurance. It was great working with you, I am so happy with the new home. You're the best!! Best regards
Chris Crowley
Working with Debbie was the best. Having been through the home buying process multiple times, I understand the process, but Debbie picked up on not just what we were looking for in a home, but really our personalities. And it wasn't in a clinical or transactional way. Rather, she would start conversations and then take away the pertinent information - in other words, she became a friend. And she found us the perfect house. That's not an exaggeration. The house and the area weren't even on our radar when she brought it to our attention. The house and the are fit not only our personalities but our lifestyles. It's everything we wanted without knowing what we were looking for exactly. That's what I meant earlier when I said "she would start conversations and then take away the pertinent information." On top of this, she was there every step of the way, explaining the different aspects of buying here in Charlotte. Having lived all around the country, each state has its own idiosyncrasies and Debbie helped explain and navigate all of them. And she did it with ease, understanding, and skill. I couldn't recommend Debbie enough.
Christopher Miller
Debbie was wonderful to work with and we plan on working with her again in the future!
Ray and Traci Drury
Debbie was a pleasure to work with and we highly recommend her. She helped us sell our house then find the right neighborhood to build a new house. She was there every step of the way and is a great resource.
Melissa M
Debbie is awesome! It was such a pleasure working with her in purchasing my first home here in Charlotte. She is seasoned, very knowledgeable, very organized and a valuable resource. I appreciated the communication she provided throughout the home buying process. Again truly a pleasure to work with!
Andy and Martha Wittek
Debbie was great to work with during the sale of our house. Much had changed since we last bought or sold a house and Debbie patiently walked us through all the new items. And as things progressed, things did not go smoothly but Debbie was calm, reasonable, and confident on how to handle things. Her knowledge and reassurance made our lives during the process much easier. Couldn't be happier!
David G
I was a first time home buyer looking for a house in one of the most crazy housing markets. Debbie was hard working, attentive, and able to work quickly. Not everything went to plan and I do wish some things went differently, but those things were mainly due to to the crazy market circumstances that were out of her control. I was glad to be working with someone with years of experience.
Rhonda Lawrence
Debbie is very knowledgeable and made every step of the selling process easier to understand. She gave us all of the information we needed and made sure we completely understood everything. The communication was excellent. I would definitely recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home.
William J. Murphy
The purchase of a condo or house is one of the most important purchases that a person will make. There are many different components that need to be taken into consideration. Debbie was a great resource throughout the process of purchasing the condominium. There were a number of things that she made me conscious to assist me throughout the process. I was always able to ask her for advice and her advice was always solid.
Kevin Sawula
Debbie was amazing to work with! She always returned calls timely, highlighted pros and cons of property types, neighborhood locations and amenities. We have used her as a buying and selling agent and she has knocked it out of the park on both ends, I would highly recommend her to anyone.
Payton Stull
Debbie was amazing to work with. This was the first time buying a home for my fiance and I and Debbie always did whatever she could to make the process smooth and enjoyable for us. I felt like when I had a question it was always answered honestly, she worked tirelessly to fix issues and address concerns, and when it came down to it we never had to worry about anything throughout the home buying process because we felt comfortable. I would highly recommend working with Debbie as a first time home buyer, or an experienced one, either way you won't be disappointed.
Bruce Lowe

process was difficult by no means any fault of the agent but became smooth in the end due to Debbie's dedication and professionalism.
Delroy Clarke
I recently bought my house with Debbie and although this can be a very stressful process, partnering with Debbie made my experience very painless. I felt very confident with her because she was knowledgeable, candid, provided great feedback, clearly explain all details, very responsive, and managed the negotiations brilliantly.
Richard Baskin
Debbie was a very personable and knowledgeable agent. The initial meeting and walk through at our property went extremely well because she had done her homework and knew the area, comps, schools,etc. After walking through our home she came up with an initial listing price (higher than we anticipated) which turned out to be the perfect price for our home. Debbie was very communicative and helpful every step in the marketing and selling of our home. The home sold after one full day on the market at full listing price. Thanks for all your professionalism during the sale of our home. Gayle and Rick
Kate Robertson
Debbie helped us with out with buying and selling under a very small time frame! Things moved seamlessly and we were very happy with the end result of both transactions. We would definitely recommend Debbie to anyone needing a real estate agent!
Chris Holden
Debbie was a pleasure to work with. She was super reliable when it came to communicating and getting things done in a timely manner. Very happy with our experience with her! Thanks for all your help.
Cliff Edouard
This house hunt was difficult for my wife and I, we were searching for our first home and we thought after watching HGTV and reading articles that we knew everything we needed to know. We were wrong. Debbie not only educated us but also challenged our thoughts and our expectations. From day one, Debbie would not let us SETTLE. I heard Debbie was tough before we started working with her, my wife and I got to see it first hand. My only hope is that Debbie is still working in the field when my wife and I will be looking for our forever home.
Debbie made us feel like we were always her number one priority. Anything we needed at anytime, she was there for us.
Prompt communication. Very professional, knowledgeable, approachable and sensitive to the concerns of the client.
You have definitely found your niche. I would use again in a heartbeat. Will definitely recommend you to anyone I know who is looking to buy or sell a home.
Knowledge of the market is why I chose to work with you. Attention to detail. Willingness to do more than the job requires. Going that extra mile.
Recommended by a previous client of yours. Very professional and easy to work with. Exceeded expected selling time on the market. I also liked the multi marketing methods used to sell my home.
