ZillowVERIFIEDDebbie helped us to purchase our first home in Sumter when we were preparing to move from Michigan. She made the process so easy and stress free! We have recently used her again to purchase another property and this too also went smoothly. We love her knowledge of both the area and real estate!

Review for Member: Debbie Bowen
ZillowVERIFIED When given short notice that I would have to move 10 hours from Sumter for a new job, I knew that selling my house was going to be a stressful venture. However, I couldnt have been more wrong. Debbie Bowen approached the sale of my home by treating it as if it were her own. Every step of the way Debbie handled issues no matter how big or small without flinching. Debbie made the listing, inspections, repairs, paperwork, and an array of otherwise stressful tasks seamless for me and my family. To top it off, she sold my home within weeks of it being posted for more than what we originally agreed upon. I highly recommend Debbie Bowen. I personally wouldnt use anyone else in the Sumter area. She goes above and beyond for her clients and has their best interests at heart. Honestly, she treated my family like it was her family and it shows. Id give her and Bowen and Associates 10 stars if I could.

ZillowVERIFIED Debbie found us the perfect neighborhood and then the perfect home for our family! We worked with her 3 years ago but didnt end up moving to Sumter. For 3 years we kept in touch and she knew exactly what we wanted and needed when it was time for us to finally move here and find a home. Shell be a forever family friend.

ZillowVERIFIED Debbie went above and beyond to get our home sold for us so we could move during Covid. She got us to close on time when the buyer's agent and buyer's lender were unresponsive and slow going. She lit the fire under everyone and got our home closed! We are so very thankful to have had Debbie on our side!!!

ZillowVERIFIED I set an appointment to see a home and Debbie was a no show. She did not reply to any of my messages or phone calls. She knew I was coming from out of town. I am very dissatisfied with this experience.

ZillowVERIFIED Debbie is an all-around wonderful person who was incredibly committed, transparent and professional with finding our rental property in Sumter.As a foreign military officer on a 3 year tour at Shaw AFB we were able to get a hold of Debbie while overseas. After that during our 5 day visit to Sumter we ended up renting a house that was for sale, due to the pro-active approach and great negotiation skills from Debbie. All parties involved ended up exceptionally happy with the arrangement.Debbie became a friend during our short time together. She is THE realtor you want to have work for you to find the home you are looking for.Thank you so much Debbie

ZillowVERIFIED I found Debbie while overseas and one call was all it took to feel comfortable with doing business with her. After we met my wife and I knew she was someone we could trust to have our best interest to lead us in home buying. She not only provided great service but it was the after service that really made a difference. She treated us like family and any questions or concerns about anything she supported us. She is a great person and now friend and I will send anyone I know to her to purchase a home. She is awesome!

ZillowVERIFIED READ THIS: If youre looking for a realtor, whether selling or buying, look no further! I have never seen a realtor with the real estate knowledge and credibility that Debbie has. She is an advocate of her client and goes FAR above and beyond what others do. She makes sure youre getting the best deal, shes honest about the market, pricing and expectations. She has unlimited resources at her disposal to help with any problems you may encounter and always has the answer. I cant give enough praise. Beyond her professional skills, she is an outstanding person and made us feel like we had known her for years, not days. Thank you Debbie for all you did for our family!!

ZillowVERIFIED So Thankful for Debbie and her expertise. Our home had lots of issues because it was a rental and was neglected, but Debbie took care of every detail and got my house in pristine condition for a quick sale. I highly recommend her to all my military friends who are considering selling your rental near Shaw afb!

Review for Member: Debbie Bowen
ZillowVERIFIED Debbie is a fantastic property manager for us. We purchased our home with her many years ago (got us a phenomenal deal btw) and since we moved away due to military PCS, she has helped us manage renting it out. She loves military members and their families, is a superb negotiator, knows the market inside and out, and gets more business from word of mouth and referrals that anyone I've known in the business. She's incredibly responsive, works on the weekends, knows absolutely everyone in town to help solve home issues, and we love her so much. I'd highly recommend her for anything real estate related in the Sumter area, especially property management.

ZillowVERIFIED Ms. Debbie has gone above and beyond in making our move the very best! She not only sold us our wonderful home, but then helped us sell our home in a flash! She was there as we were traveling and not at our location and made it the best and easiest experience we could imagine! If you are looking for a stress free move she is your agent!

ZillowVERIFIED I purchased a home with Ms. Debbie Bowen as a military member PCSing to Shaw. She came incredibly highly recommended from other military members in the area and did not dissappoint. She was the most knowledgeable, helpful and professional of any agent I've worked with; plus she knows just about everyone in Sumter County. She really makes you feel like she is helping a friend a family member find the very best home to suit you. She loves the military and is active in community organizations and activities that promote Sumter's crucial supportive link to Shaw. I'd recommend her to absolutely anyone who wants a quality representative who makes home buying easy.Andy

ZillowVERIFIED Debbie is a consummate professional! We dealt with Debbie through a For Sale by Owner listing in which we were the sellers. Debbie actually represented the buyers during the transaction and was still so helpful and wonderful to us during the process. She is extremely knowledgeable about the Sumter area and about the real estate process. She was able to expertly walk us through the selling process while representing her clients on the buying side. Finding a relator who can navigate the real estate waters while making both the buyers and the sellers happy is a true talent! I would recommend Debbie to anyone looking to buy or sell in the area!

Review for Member: Debbie Bowen
ZillowVERIFIED I just need to start by saying Ms Debbie has got to be the most knowledgeable realtor around! She worked her tail off for us. We originally came here expecting to live on base, but due to lack of housing we had to jump into house hunting. She was patient and very thorough in her research. She fought for us on so many issues with our inspection before and after closing and won them all! If you don't choose to work with her you're at a disadvantage!

ZillowVERIFIED From the minute we asked for attention from Debbie she was all over it! From the smallest details right down to offering to put a big red bow on our new home for photos! Her knowledge of the area and ability to listen closely to what it was we were looking for made our search a single day verses what could have been weeks! Her easy going personality and quick smile put us at ease and confident in our decision to buy here in Sumter and have Debbie help us along the way. She has an excellent team from an excellent lender to work with to the way she made it look easy getting the inspections and all of our legal hurdles cleared to close just like she said it would happen. If you are looking for an agent to put your mind at ease show you the best Sumter has to offer and make your purchase seem stress free, Debbie Bowen is who your looking for.

Review for Member: Debbie Bowen
ZillowVERIFIED This review is way overdue. When I started working with Debbie my husband and I knew nothing about home buying. We didn't know if it was something we could even afford to do, but we loved the neighborhood we were looking in so much we just decided to check out this house. Debbie walked us through every step of the process and made us aware of what we could buy versus throwing our money away to someone else's mortgage. We are so thankful for her during our first home buying process. She always made an effort to show us the houses we wanted to see immediately. She gave us so much of her time and focus on nights and weekends since we are both military and couldn't take time out of work. Even after finishing the home buying process I knew I could look to her for references because she really does seem to have a guy for everything. We are so thankful to her for easing the tension of our first home buying experience. I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy!

ZillowVERIFIED In military terms, I rate Debbie as a Must Promote, Immediate Command, and Future General Officer. If you are military... Miss Debbie is the only agent to call. We are a military family and without a doubt, Miss Debbie has been the preeminent agent we have used in 27 years. Three words describe her- Professional, Dedicated, and Personable - Debbie is the greatest asset you can have when buying or selling in the Sumter area. She knows the military needs and considerations. She is extremely honest and will not hesitate to provide her advice, even when she knows you may not want to hear it. Not only do I recommend Miss Debbie, we continue to seek her expertise when we are looking for real estate agents at new assignments. As we continue to move with the military, our new agents have to pass Miss Debbie's standards before we sign a contract.

ZillowVERIFIED Five years ago when arriving in South Carolina Debbie sold my spouse and I our first home. She took her time, showed patience, and treated us like her own family. She quickly became our close friend. Just recently we listed our home with Debbie and she had us in contract in just over a month and closing went with ZERO bumps! I cannot say enough about Debbie and her involvement in the community and with the local military base.

ZillowVERIFIED She is the best agent I have ever had the privilege of working with. In 30 days, she got our offer in on the house, sold my other lot and got the house we live in now closed. I would recommend anybody looking to buy a house in Sumter, SC, let Debbie be your agent. She will tell you the truth and she will make sure you get the house you can afford. She works hard for you to ensure everything goes smoothly for you. She has your best interests in finding a house. Thank You Deb, Ayako and I really appreciated you helping us get the house.

ZillowVERIFIED Debbie is an excellent agent who is a master of her craft. I bought my first home as a result of her expertise and vast knowledge of not only the hot areas but the market as well. It took no time at all to find a home that fit my style in a place I loved. You can't go wrong with Deb, she will listen to your concerns and find you the right place that fits your needs.

Review for Member: Debbie Bowen
ZillowVERIFIED I have to tell you, and I hope you read this, because this was my experience. I found a house on Zillow that was just listed on foreclosure. Contacted her on a Saturday afternoon using the Zillow Android App (she works 7 days a week!). She was able to get me in the house to view it the next day, on a SUNDAY! I decided to place a bid on the house, so we worked together and the bid was put in Tuesday morning (2 days after viewing). Ended up winning the house. During the paperwork process with the bank/lenders etc. which I will not name out of respect, she was on them like white on rice! When they gave me a quote of thousands of dollars of taxes that would be in escrow, she jumped on them to get it fixed NOW! She is fast to respond to emails or text or calls missed. On closing day, I was extremely sick, so she sat beside me and helped me understand what I was signing. In the early days of the house purchase, she told me "Don't worry, I will hold your hand all the way through the process...". To me, that made me feel better. And on the last day she really stood in there and "held my hand through the process". She isn't pushy like a car salesman, she is realistic and down to earth. Very friendly and is almost like a body guard against any other people in the process that might try and scam you. I would NEVER use anyone else other than Debbie. Give her a shot, if you don't like her you don't have to use her until you sign the papers promising to use her. She's outstanding!

ZillowVERIFIED Debbie Bowen is our go-to person for anything real estate. I've know Debbie for over 30 years and she is honest and helpful and really knows the business. She will not try to "sell you" anything but she will tell you what you need to know about buying or selling a home. I recommend Debbie to all my family and friends. She's the best!

ZillowVERIFIED In 2013 Debbie found the perfect house for us after searching on our own for 3 years! In 2016 we were afforded a great opportunity in Augusta Ga that we could not pass up and had to sell our beautiful home. Debbie got our house sold in only 6 weeks! Debbie possesses not only real estate knowledge but she is a people person. She is very devoted to her profession and goes out of her way to accommodate you. She is one of the most loyal, trustworthy and professional people I have come to know. She doesn't tell you what you want to hear but what is true and right! I would recommend Debbie Bowen 1000%

ZillowVERIFIED What can I say other than A-MAAAA-ZZING!!! Not only have I purchased a home from her, I have also sold a home through her. In addition to ensuring I received the best opportunity for those homes, she did her best to serve me in finding a new place even though I was out of state. Trust me, you will never find another realtor like her. I hope your experience with her is smooth and even better than I had.

ZillowVERIFIED Debbie has been a JOY to work with! I was being relocated to Charlotte and the process has been extremely stressful. Debbie was able to not only give me great advice on a listing price, she was also able to help me calm my nerves. She has a great network of people and was able to get my house sold in less than 90 days - which was perfect for me because I was able to get my dream home in Charlotte. She had great advice and was extremely responsive. Don't hesitate to give her a call and let her be your agent! If I ever move back to the area, she will be the person I call!

ZillowVERIFIED Debbie was our agent when we moved from New York knowing no one or literally anything about Sumter! She was very patient with us while we found the type of home we wanted. As first time home buyers this process can be super stressful, however with Debbie everything ran smoothly as could be. She was attentive, caring, and patient. We could not have asked for anyone better than Debbie. Being new to the area she also took us under her wing introducing us to new places and people, meeting up for dinner or coffee when I was alone, and she just went (and still goes)out of her way to make sure we felt secure and comfortable in a new area. I can proudly say not only was Debbie my first friend in Sumter, but has now become a lifelong friend!!

Review for Member: Debbie Bowen
ZillowVERIFIED We've known Debbie since 2007. We changed Realtors when we first put the house up for sale due to serious dissatisfaction with the Company we originally hired. As an active duty Air Force Colonel at the time, I conferred with many of my fellow colonels to ascertain who they recommended as reliable/dependable/professional and with a sterling reputation in Sumter for listing my house. Hands down, Debbie Bowen's name was #1 among about 10 Colonels I talked to. We consulted with Debbie right away and we were off and running. Unfortunately, right on the heels of our conferring with Debbie, the housing/economic slump/downturn ensued. Debbie stuck with us thru thick and thin. We have rented the house to several tenants, waiting on the market to improve to the point we can sell. Debbie is a straight shooter, candid, genuine, loaded with integrity and is at the top of her game. When she joined Russell & Jeffcoat, I asked her if we would remain with her or be shifted to another realtor in R&J. Her answer "Col Reinert, you and MaryAnn are my family ... you're staying with me". That's what we wanted to hear, we have full confidence in her skill set and we believe she is #1 in Sumter in the Realty field. We're not the only military family to feel that way ... she is top of her game with all clients ... passionate/professional/courteous & honest. She will advise you if the market is sound enough to sell. If not, she'll call it like it is and tell you to continue renting. We love Debbie ... she takes great care of her extended family and all clients!Col (R) Brad Reinert & MaryAnn
