Debbie Malone, Realtor Lynchburg, Smith Mountain Lake, VA

Living In Central Virginia:

I've enjoyed living in the Lynchburg, Virginia area for the past twenty two years. Lynchburg is located along the banks of the James River with the stunning Blue Ridge Mountains as a backdrop. Known as the Hill City, Lynchburg is the fifth largest Metropolitan Statistical Area in Virgina and was recently ranked #71 out of the top 100 places to do business in the country. With several colleges and universities and Civil War history, Lynchburg has a rich past and it is a wonderful place to visit and relocate to.

I am licensed by the Commonwealth of Virginia as a Real Estate Agent. Associated with RE/MAX 1st Olympic in Lynchburg since 2006, I work with both buyers and sellers. I specialize in residential, investment property and land and have been certified in Short Sales and REO Foreclosures. I have achieved the RE/MAX Executive Club Award from 2006-2008.

So what's different about me? Since 1982 my husband and I have bought, renovated, rented or sold over 50 investment properties. I know the potential problems that can and will come up during the home buying process, the frustrations with financing and I would be glad to guide you through it all. I offer a three page Home Buyer's Guide that outlines the steps involved in finding your new home.

I have been featured in Teri B. Clark's latest book "The Complete Guide to Your First Rental Property" . With over 25 years of experience in buying and renovating properties I'd love to share with you what I've learned.

I'm enthusiastic for my profession, am goal oriented and driven to do my best. My personal investing experiences have given me a unique perspective on the ups and downs of investing in the real estate market. I know what it takes to buy, renovate and sell property for a profit. I know what it feels like to run into problems right before closing.

Testimonials

Debbie,

I must admit, you have been one of the best real estate agents I have ever encountered. I have yet to experience a real estate agent that provide the amount of feedback and status of the ongoing process. The last real estate agent I had, we had to contact constantly just to know what's going on.

Thanks once again for being such a good sport. You are making it a smooooother process.

Craig
