The Holsens: McDermotts are the best team they’ve seen in real estate
Jim and Gloria Holsen have bought and sold real estate throughout the world for decades. They know a good realtor. Debbi and Marty McDermott are tremendously talented and experienced individual realtors in Naples, but as a team, they’re unsurpassable, say the couple who have used the McDermotts to handle nearly a dozen of their real estate transactions in Naples, Fla.
“It’s not an accident that we use Marty and Debbi. We know what to expect and we know good realtors when we see them,” said Jim Holsen, from his Naples, Fla. living room.
Debbi and Marty McDermott of Premier Sotheby’s have been working in the Naples area real estate market for decades.
“They have unbelievable market knowledge,” said Jim Holsen. “Marty knows everything on the market, what it’s listed for and what it sells for. He knows a good asking price and what it will sell at. He gets a lot of calls from other brokers looking for advice. When you’ve got other brokers using you as a touch stone, that says something.”
It’s not just knowledge– they’re actually fun to watch in action, said Jim and his wife Gloria.
“The two of them work hand and glove,” said Jim Holsen.
“Yes. The whole day long. It’s a dynamic thing. We’ve never seen a team work together like them,” said Gloria Holsen.
Though they may have their different strengths, their level of communication makes it seem like whomever of the two McDermotts is talking to you, you’ve got the power of them both, the Holsens say.
“They’re almost interchangeable. If Debbi takes you around to look at properties, Marty will know exactly what happened,” said Jim.
We’ll share more from the Holsens in the near future as the couple is very experienced with the skills and services the McDermotts offer that are unique and valuable when choosing a realtor.

Robert Hitchcock Endorses Marty and Debbi McDermott as Naples Realtors
The McDermotts offer ‘everything you can possibly need’
Robert Hitchcock and his wife moved to Naples in 1994 and while buying their first condominium in Southwest Florida found themselves on the other side of the table from the seller’s Realtors.
Although Marty and Debbi McDermott handled the sale for the seller that day, they came to represent the Hitchcocks in future transactions. It wasn’t long before they called themselves “good friends.”
Robert says that in making a new home in Naples nearly 20 years ago he and his wife ultimately settled on the Old Naples area and there are no Realtors more familiar with Old Naples than the McDermotts.
The Old Naples area has the dining and entertainment that the Hitchcocks expected of their community in Naples. As for the McDermott team, Hitchcock has a brief phrase:
‘They really know Old Naples real estate.’
The McDermotts are professionals, real estate is not a hobby or sideline for them
24/7 service isn’t just a catch phrase, it becomes ‘friendship’ for many
After three decades living in Connecticut, Dr. Art and Ellen Seigel made the move to Naples. From their Realtor in Connecticut, the Seigels found themselves talking to the McDermotts. Three houses later, they remain sold on the McDermotts. An initial factor about the McDermotts, according to Dr. Seigel, is that “they were professionals; they were not doing this as a sideline or a hobby.” The friendship blossomed and continued even though the Seigels have now lived in their Park Shore home for seven years. “They continue to be available to us if we have a problem with out home,” Dr. Seigel says. Mrs. Seigel says they love the neighborhood because of, you guessed it: location, location, location. It is close to the Phil, great shopping and restaurants. Toss in the view over their zero line pool and friendly neighbors and the Seigels have the complete package thanks to the McDermotts’ expertise and ultimate friendship. It also comes down to the important small touches, such as being able to get a referral for service on their home. With their experience in Naples, the McDermotts have extensive knowledge of who can best service the needs. At the end of the day, Mrs. Seigel summarizes, “There are many, many Realtors in Naples …”
‘… but the McDermotts are professionals.’
