About Barb Deggans

As an agent who's an expert in St. Pete and has lived here over 20 years, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise about buying and selling real estate in the area. Pinellas County is unlike any place else I've lived. Public schools are assigned via a lottery, and million dollar homes are mixed in with $100,000 homes. You really need someone who knows the area but knows other areas as well to be able to tell you what's different here.I love houses and I love helping people find just the right one. I have a background in details in a range of previous positions from inventory control to construction management, and I will make sure everything is done right with your purchase or sale. I'm also able to be the calm in the storm when things don't go just as planned.I have a marketing degree from the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University and my previous experience in construction management comes in handy for my investor and flipper clients.I have National Association of Realtors certifications as a GRI and PSA and a couple other lesser certifications and designations, and I try to fit in at least 1 class every week. I want to know exactly how to do my job well so you can sit back and relax.On a personal note, my father and 2 brothers were in the navy, and my boyfriend is a Tampa police officer. I know about respecting those who have earned it. Testimonials:More than half of the sales I close come from my past clients. They come back and send their friends and family to me for a reason. Here is some of what my past clients have said about my service. Forever Our Realtor of ChoiceLawanna W via Google ReviewsI had been in my current house for 15 years so it had been a long time since I worked with or needed a realtor. By the time I started working with Barb, I had already spent almost a year searching for a new home. I also was looking to sell my current home. From the start, Barb was very accommodating, knowledgeable, and down to earth. She understood what I wanted and was always upfront and made suggestions as we looked at several homes. She was very patient (because I'm really picky) and I appreciated her understanding my expectations and not finding me difficult to work with. I knew I could trust in her opinion and that is VERY important!! Long story short, we found a home and had some trouble with the seller. Barb handled everything professionally and had my best interests in mind. We were also able to sell our current home and close in 2 weeks of putting it on the market. You can't ask for anything better than that! Barb will forever be our realtor of choice!Not only did I sell Lawanna's home and help her buy another, but she has since referred me to a coworker to sell their home. Unbelievable AgentEd Jankowski via Rate My AgentBarb is an amazing agent! She was able to point out things to improve in the house to get me top dollar. The house was only shown for a week and had offers. The best part was closing on the house earlier than the scheduled date.It was a lot of stress off my shoulders knowing Barb made it easy to sell the house quickly. I would recommend her to family, friends, or acquaintances. If needed in the future, Barb will be the agent I contact. Thank you so much, Barb.
