There are literally hundreds of realtors to choose from at Smith Mountain Lake. Why choose Deb Beran and her team? We prefer to let our clients tell you.

"You have always done an exceptional job as our realtor. Through four sales and five purchases you have kept up with every detail as if it were your own property you were buying or selling. We would be happy to recommend you and your team to anyone we know in need of realtor services. Thanks for all your help and kindness.”

Mike & Martta Edwards

“From the first time we met to talk abut purchasing property, you were very friendly and professional. What I liked most was that we were treated not only as a client but also as a friend. You went the extra mile when we were looking to help us find what we wanted. It makes it such a pleasure to deal with someone as yourself.  If I were to purchase again, you are the only Realtor I would work with and if asked by anyone you are the only Realtor I would recommend.  It has bee a pleasure working with you over the past years. Thanks, again."

Charlie Dull

“Deb is a great friend and realtor! She listened to our needs, came up with several options and found the perfect house for us! We couldn’t have done it without her. She is a very personal realtor without the pressure! Thanks, Deb."

Phil & Betsy Gentry

“The fact that I have used your Realtor services twice and recommend you twice (both of which resulted in a “closure”) is about the best compliment I could give you. Best regards."

Ernie & Pat Staggers

“Deb is easy to work with and learned quickly what I was and was not looking for, which meant my time was being spent wisely. Also, she was extremely knowledgeable, able to answer or find the answer. Additionally, she recognized a problem with the property lines that even the lawyer had not yet discovered, so we would recommend her to anyone who is looking for real estate at Smith Mountain Lake .”

Betty Konchar

“Deb is very easy to work with and very accommodating to my schedule. She is very knowledgeable about the market and in explaining any conflicts of interest that might exist. She help structure and negotiate my offer to get the best deal for me. Deb and her staff facilitated the entire buying process from offer to closing—including getting permits for septic and dock, lining up the closing agent and meeting with the developer to discuss what can be done with the lot, etc. In other words, I believe that she really earned her fee! Best regards,"

Ray and Candy Nasser

“Deb came to us as a highly recommended realtor and she proved her reputation was well earned. She was very professional, thorough and provided some very good advice pertaining to the mechanics involved with the negotiation and closing process. She was a pleasure to work with and would highly recommend her to the seasoned as well as a first-time buyer.”

Verne & Marie Campbell

“Deborah,

Jane and I are very pleased to provide a reference to you. We have very much enjoyed working with you on our two transactions and hopefully a third will be in the future. You are one of the few realtors that we do not have to follow up on. Your honesty, sincerity, knowledge and professionalism have made us huge fans. Best of luck,"

JA and Jane Savage

“The Beran & Steele Team had a level of class and professionalism that we were proud to have representing us in the sale of our property. The marketing materials that you developed were outstanding and of award winning caliber. Your team would be my first recommendation for anyone selling property in the higher end price range on Smith Mountain Lake .”

Jim Hinson

“Deb has a no nonsense attitude which was greatly appreciated. She was also very honest about any problems or downsides to buying the property and helped us to smooth things over with the owners. She is good at dealing with different types of personalities and attitudes. Thanks Deb!”

Lynlee Thorne & Neil Wastie

“We have worked with Deborah Beran on two Real Estate transactions. In both cases her services and attention to our needs were excellent. We feel her marketing skills are second to none at the lake and exceeded our expectations. We always felt informed and that our best interests were served. We would definitely use her again and recommend her highly.”

Fred & Chris Tscheulin

“Thanks again for representing me in my recent Real Estate transaction at Smith Mountain Lake . Initially, your expertise was apparent when you listed and priced my home.  Your advertising and marketing was unique and exceeded my expectations. Your personal investment so near to closing was invaluable and needless to say, greatly appreciated. Recommending you to others as a Realtor would come easy to me and I will pass your name along whenever the opportunity presents itself.”

Shirley B. Smith

“Dear Deborah,

          Thank you so much for being so caring and kind in a stressful time of our lives.  You were GREAT to say the least.  Thanks for the gift bag with SML reminders of the wonderful times we have experienced."

Jim and Arlene Ebbs

“You did a super job for us. Your knowledge of the Lake and property value was great.  Knowledge of what had to be done to satisfy county with septic, etc. was up to date. Need a REAL ESTATE AGENT  -  Buy or Sell -  Call  Deborah Beran.”

Donald and Treva Lowe

“Deb was wonderful in looking into details that I would have never thought of…  FEMA maps, flood plains, property lines, county and neighborhood bylaws and lots of other things.  She went above and beyond before, during, and after our closing.  A pleasure to work with!”
