"Debaran Hughes is a phenomenal agent. She helped us sell our home in Knoxville in the midst of a terrible housing market, without the house even being "on the market". To top it off, she referred us to an excellent agent across the state to help us find our dream home. This was not a planned move for us, but thanks to Debaran, it couldn't have turned out better. Everything fell perfectly into place.

"Tom and Debaran made selling my condo simple in a very difficult real estate market. When I decided to sell it I knew I wanted them to list the property. I knew Tom and Debaran would work hard with my best interests in mind. I currently live in Memphis and the entire process could not have been easier had I been living in Knoxville. "

"We have several friends that are realtors and were reluctant to use someone we didn?t know. However, many of the homes we saw while looking on our own were offered by the Hughes. Seeing this, we decided to use them to search for our new home. Debaran exceeded our expectations. From the start she worked hard to learn what our preferences were. She helped us find the home that suited us and get it at the best price. We will definitely use her for all our future real estate transactions and will recommend her to our friends.

"Debaran went above and beyond helping to market and sell our condo. Not only that, she was also able to help us find our new (not to mention perfect!) home in a very limited time frame and coordinate multiple transactions. We have complete confidence in her professionalism and knowledge of the industry and markets in Knoxville. She was always available to help and answer any questions we had. We look forward to working with Debaran and Tom in the future and recommend their services to all of our family and friends!

Thank you, Debaran, for your consistent hard work, dependability and sparkling personality!

"Debaran was wonderful throughout the entire home selling/buying experience. She made herself available to us at all times, answering all of our millions of questions and showing us homes on short notice. With Debaran's help, we were able to sell our home very quickly. It then, took us awhile to find a home to buy. Debaran never gave up. She was very patient and always remained upbeat and optimistic. She also possesses a strong knowledge of the Knoxville area and real estate, which was very helpful. Although, we are THRILLED to be in our new home, (which we finally found and love) We are also kind of sad not to be working with Debaran anymore, talking on the phone everyday (usually multiple times)-we miss her!

"Tom and Debaran were both very helpful and truly understood our home buying needs. Through many e-mails, phone calls, open houses, and home viewings, they always had our best interests in mind. With their recommendation we looked at a home in a great neighborhood, just the size of home and in the price range we were looking. We placed an offer very quickly and have now been in our home over a month. We couldn't be happier with our purchase, and our choice to use Tom and Debaran. We would recommend them to anyone in this area looking for a home.

"The Hughes Properties helped make the sale of our home a low stress process. Tom and Debaran remained readily accessible and always responsive to our concerns. They understood that the real estate transaction, while important, is not all encompassing and never intruded on our otherwise busy lives. "

"Finding a home with Debaran's assistance was a great experience. From the first phone call, we knew we had chosen the right realtor for our needs. We had a delay of several months due to trying to sell our previous home (out of town)and she continued to check in on us. When the time came to continue our search, she showed us a wide variety of homes. She is honest about areas, schools, etc. and that helped us tremendously since we weren't familiar with Knoxville. Debaran is very professional and adds a personal touch that makes her very enjoyable to work with. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone and will definately use her in the future."

John and Carrie Fritts
"John and I truly enjoyed working with The Hughes. This was our first move together and they were very thorough in their explanations regarding the various processes we encountered lisitng our home and selling it. In addition, we were kept aware of local listings that met and or complimented our interests in a home. They were always available to answer questions and to show us homes when it was most convenient for us. The greatest part of working with them is the fact that we sold our house in 3 weeks and bought a home that we absolutely adore! The Hughes present themselves very well, and we took comfort in the fact that we were and would be professionally represented during this important decision making process. "

"Our experience with Tom Hughes far exceeded our expectations! His professionalism and dedication to selling our home was remarkable.

We are always happy to provide a glowing reference for you any time. "

"The Hughes were most effective in getting our house sold. They sold our house which we had previously tried to sell by owner, swiftly and in a manner that far exceeded our expectations! The Hughes listened to our concerns, marketed our home aggressively and kept us informed of the process. Their honesty, direction and market knowledge helped counsel us to a quick sale
for top dollar.

"I thought my husband and I would never find a house we agreed on. I was really getting discouraged, but Debaran reassured me that we would find the perfect house. She made good on her word. Not only did we find the perfect house, it was in the perfect location, and my husband and I instantly knew it was the one for us. The Hughes made it easy too. All we had to do was call them and they were on it! Our closing took about 30 minutes and we were the owners of the perfect house. We would recommend anyone to Debaran and Tom. Their dedication showed throughout our home buying process. "

"We cannot say enough about the excellence that emanates from the Hughes real estate team. Over the past year, we had looked at countless houses on our own. After we contacted the Hughes, we realized that we needed the expertise of a professional. Not only did Debaran find exactly what we were looking for, we were also delighted with how they handled our existing home sale. We accomplished all of this during an extremely challenging real estate market.

We learned that when it comes to real estate, the Devil is in the details. That is exactly why we will never approach the buying or selling of property without knowledgeable advocates like the Hughes on our side. "

"Over the course of our dealings with Dean-Smith Realty, Debaran Hughes consistantly embodied the perfect mix of professionalism and "down-home care". Despite her busy schedule and the fact that our transaction was patently "average", Debaran always made us feel as though we were her most important clients. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone with real estate needs in this area. "

"After searching we found the perfect home but needed much negotiation to transform the yard! The Hughes were instramental in the ongoing negotiation process. We ended up with the home and yard we had always dreamed of. Of course, after listing our property, they brought us a buyer, our house sold for a great price and in only two days! The Hughes demonstrated a vast amount of knowledge, dedication to sheer hard work and an emphasis on keeping us the client informed. They made this important trastaction in our lives very pleasurable and we will long continue to recommend them to anyone and everyone."

"We told Debaran that we were looking for property to eventually build our dream home on. Within a day or so, Debaran called with a listing that had been put on the market the night before...it also happened to be less than 5 minutes from our former house. She arranged a showing that afternoon and was very diligent with our offer. We knew that there would be other offers and Debaran made sure that ours was received by the seller first. Needless to say, Debaran was very proactive from start to finish and made the entire process very easy!"
