At Minicus Vavala Properties, customer satisfaction is our #1 goal.
We give each individual client our time and share with them first-hand our knowledge about the local real estate market.
We are proud to share some of the many responses from a few of our clients:
Dear Debbie & Paul:
This will confirm to you our comments at the closing of how satisfied we both were with your professionalism; and certainly think we were both fortunate in dealing with you both in the purchase of the Chaffiot home. Your help in putting me in touch with Faye Thomas of Countrywide Mortgage was probably the highlight of all the activities that took place.
Thank you both again for your kind assistance and sincere attention.
Sincerely,
Noretta and John D’Albora, Jr.
Dear Debbie & Paul:
Well, it’s over and the closing went as smooth as glass.
Your help in finding a suitable rental took a load off my mind. Because the house on James Road sold so quickly, I was “homeless” for only a few days due to your great rental resources. All joking aside it was a pleasure working with you and Matt and everything fell into place just as you said it would.
Your dedication, patience, and humor are greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Bob Hadley
“This is in acknowledgement to Debbie Minicus-Vavala as the BEST realtor ever. Debbie sold our townhouse when no one else could. We were on a tight time line; building a house that would be complete in only two months. Debbie managed to work very hard on getting the right buyers at the right time. She even convinced them to let us rent back from them until our house was complete. We couldn’t have done it without her. Debbie is an outstanding realtor, person, mother, and friend forever.
Sincerely,
Hope N. Boyd

“When my family and I moved here in April of 1999, we did not know much about this community. Debbie was our guide in addition to being our realtor. She represented us as buyers, during this representation period she showed professionalism and great understanding to our needs. She went above and beyond our expectations. We will definitely use her services in the future. We really enjoyed working with her, and would highly recommend her to anyone that could use her services.”
Sincerely,
Elias and Robin Kotait
“I met numerous real estate agents in Brevard County and while most of them were perfectly competent and polite, but I did not meet any that I felt truly comfortable with until I met Debbie. She was interested in not only selling us a home, but in being sure that she was selling us a home that met our needs and budget. I felt as though she had a true understanding of the type of home we were looking for. She also avoided any type of
”hard- sale” tactics. I never felt pressured in any way. My only regret is that I didn’t meet Debbie months sooner!”
Sincerely,
Carla Reece Gettlemen
“A friend referred my husband and I to Debbie when we expressed thoughts of buying a home. Choosing Debbie was the best decision we have ever made. The relationship that developed was more than I expected from a realtor. She is far more than just another agent and I am truly grateful to her for her dedication and persistence helping us find our dream home.”
Mrs. Kimberly Osgood
“We have been in our home since February 1997 and are very pleased with the whole buying experience thanks to Debbie’s hard work. We are very happy with our home and plan to use Debbie to represent us with all of our future real estate transactions.”
Robbie Wise
Ronnie Black
I was very pleased with your services that you provided. It was a very difficult property to work with. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Thomas Nicholson
“What I love about Debbie is her enthusiasm for each project. With each house she showed us, she was excited about its potential from the beginning. She made clear the advantages and disadvantages of each property. She never once vacillated just “to make the sale.” An attitude like that is definitely refreshing!”
Sincerely,
Leslie Babiez
“She sold my property and always kept me informed on the activity. Debbie represented me extremely well. I would recommend Debbie to all of my friends.”
Anthony Berman
“We have known Debbie for about ten years. During that time, she has exhibited strong commitment to our community and high ethical standards. We called Debbie and asked her to represent us in finding a larger house. Debbie did a masterful job of negotiating on our behalf, working with our lender, counseling us on transaction issues, and keeping the deal working in spite of the holidays.”
Sincerely,
Lou Ann Weeks
In 1995, we were looking to purchase a condominium . We knew our price range, and the approximate area in which we wanted to buy. At that time, after hearing of Debbie’s wonderful reputation as a realtor, and a person of integrity, we contacted her. After making our selection, she also offered us excellent advice on certain matters pertaining to the sale. We recommend Debbie highly. She gained our respect not only as a professional, but as a person. We would certainly retain her services for any real estate needs.”
Wm. R. Graham Jr.
Wanelle Graham
“As you know, we were very happy with your work as our buyers agent when we purchased our Rockledge home. We are also very appreciative of the work you are doing here in the neighborhood, as well as the community in general.”
Tom and Peggy Glitto
“Debbie represented us in the purchase of our home approximately 1 year ago. Her ability to deal with the sale was remarkable. I constantly recommend her and her team to people searching for the perfect home.”
Sincerely,
Debby Gordon
“We were introduced to Debbie and after talking to her, I realized that here was a person who was listening to us and really seemed to understand our needs and wants. It was only a matter of a few days when we found our perfect home. She worked long and hard for us and remained professional and kind throughout the process. We would recommend her to anyone looking for their perfect home!”
Sincerely,
Robert and Joan Bentivegna
“Congratulations on the sale! Don’t closings feel great? My buyers are very excited about their new home. I think it is just perfect for them. Everything turned out great and mostly because you knew just what to do and handeled the transaction very professionally. It was great working with you and I hope that we work together very soon. Also, thanks to your assistant for all of her hard work.”
Sincerely,
Dotty Gillette
Realtor
“We were moving from Alabama and with that, came the daunting task of finding a new home. Luckily for us, a friend recommended Paul Vavala. Our friend informed Paul of our impending move and within only a few days, we received a package of information about Brevard County and all of Central Florida. When it came time for our actual house hunting, Paul was invaluable in all aspects of finding, choosing, and especially the rigors of the purchasing process. We will never forget Paul’s kindness and ‘above and beyond’ efforts on our behalf.”
Sincerely,
Keith and Cynthia Pierce
“Our situation involved probate and some very uncooperative family members. Debbie went above and beyond the call of duty. She remained extremely professional, positive and friendly throughout the entire process. Having some experience myself in real estate, this transaction would have been placed in the ‘exceptionally difficult’ category. Had it not been for Debbie’s efforts, I doubt the closing would have ever taken place. We can’t thank her enough.”
Sincerely,
Barbara Reis
“Thank you for all the help you gave us in finding a new home. It’s hard to look for a house when you go 200 miles and just spend 1 or 2 days at a time. You were always there for us. We really appreciate the fact that you were very informative yet never pushy. Thanks!”
Sincerely,
Don and Gloria Strenge
“Over a span of two years, Ms. Minicus showed us eleven houses. Despite spending many hours with us, she never pressured us to buy. Her positive attitude and an excellent understanding of our desires enabled her to find us exactly the right house, the one wwe are living in now, at an affordable price.”
Sincerely,
Frank and Sue Pagano
“We would like to thank Paul, Debbie and their assistant, for all of the help they gave on our quest to purchase the perfect lot for our future home. They have always shown total professionalism and dedication to their clients. Because of this, we highly recommend them for any of your real estate needs.”
Sincerely,
Terry Trudell and Al Rose
“Debbie assisted us in the sale of our historic home in 1999. This was an unusual property and Debbie showcased it as such. She was enthusiastic, honest, and professional in dealing with the buyers and us. We highly recommend her at any opportunity we can. She’s tops in our book!”
Phil and Georgeanna Turner
“I have personally known Debbie and Paul personally for many years. My late husband was also in real estate and he strongly urged me to call Minicus-Vavala Proeperties when I had a property to sell. They are extremely professional, dear friends, and I would not call anyone else if I have any property to sell. They send out a weekly report on your property as to how many times it has been shown, how many calls they have had, and it is very comforting when you are trying to sell a home.”
Sincerely,
Mrs. Julie Wanger
“Debbie is a hero in my eyes. I will never be able to repay her for all she has done for my family. My husband and I relocated to the area in 1998 for an opportunity of a lifetime. At the time of his transfer, I was still fully involved in my career and unable to join him until one year later. I flew down to the area once a month, with one mission in mind, I deligently searched for a place to call my home. To some people, a house is just boards, nails, insulation, shingles, etc. It has no heart or soul…. On the contrary, my house is EVERYTHING to me. Debbie was the only person who understood my mentality. She made every step of the difficult process so much easier. We found a beautiful house in a wonderful neighborhood and Debbie even went as far as letting our new neighbors know we had moved in, and through these efforts, we have met many of them! I can honestly say, Debbie feels like a close friend, and is one of the nicest, caring, people that we have met since we moved down here.”
Sincerely,
David and Susan Tucker
“When preparing to make an offer on a for-sale-by-owner home recently, I contacted Debbie Minicus seeking her representation. She had previously shown us properties during our search and I was impressed with her knowledge of the market and her sincere, competent manner. She proved to be invaluable in the process almost immediately – offering key advice on appraisals and contractual interpretations. I will definitely suggest this service to others.”
Sincerely,
Michael Harner
“Everything went smoothly and I credit a large part of that to Debbie. After closing, she sent us a note to make sure that everything was going alright and offered to help in any way she could, plus later sent a reminder to file for homestead exemption!”
Dave and Pam Juttelstad
“I’d become familiar with Debbie and her agency through mailings offering assistance with historical properties. She graciously provided information on painters and roofers and was very helpful. When it came time that I wanted to buy the lot adjacent to my current residence, Debbie quickly and accurately worked up an estimate of my approximate costs. After my offer was accepted, Debbie worked to ensure that the closing was accomplished quickly and efficiently. I was very pleased at how smoothly my purchase was accomplished.”
Sincerely,
Michael Grysikiewicz
“Ms. Minicus-Vavala was extremely helpful in our search for a new house. When we contacted her as a potential realtor, she only asked us a few questions and knew exactly what we wanted. We have recommended Ms. Minicus-Vavala to everyone that brought up real estate and will continue to do so in the future.”
Sincerely,
Tom and Joanna Prantl
“Ms. Debbie Minicus-Vavala, ABR, GRI has provided excellent support and advice while our property was listed with her company. She managed to sell the property in a short period of time, guiding us in a professional manner through this process.”
-Michael Constantinide
“”Impressive” is fitting word to describe the total package that you put together. So much so, that you found a buyer within one week of our listing with MVP though your networking with other selected realtors. This was accomplished before the first published advertisement and only one day after the “For Sale” sign was up.
I wish to express our heartfelt appreciation for your professionalism, patience and guidance throughout the process. You made our lives a bit easier and continually demonstrated --- You were the right choice!
-Dan Thompson

“Debbie, Paul, and their staff are very professional, and were very helpful throughout the entire process from the listing, through the closing. We were expecially pleases with their efforts in marketing our home, including holding an “open house” on three weekends, and providing status reports on their marketing efforts. We would highly recommend their services.”

When we found the right home, she prepared a n outstanding presentation booklet that she presented to the sellers along with out offer to purchase.
