In Episode 44 of Success Behind The Numbers, I sit down with Debbie Carpluk, Team Leader of The Carpluk Team at Keller Williams Realty Elite, and a longtime force in the Long Island real estate scene. 🎙️💎
Debbie’s story starts in Suffolk County and stretches across almost four decades of business, leadership, and unshakable loyalty to her roots. From building a thriving real estate business with her husband to mentoring the next generation of agents, Debbie has always led with honesty, humility, and grit.
In this episode, we talk about why relationships—not transactions—are the real currency in real estate, how she’s built a multigenerational business that feels like family, and what it means to lead with consistency through every market cycle. You’ll hear her perspective on mentorship, staying grounded in your values, and why her heart still beats for Long Island after all these years.
If you’ve ever wondered how to keep going (and growing) without losing your why, Debbie shows you exactly how it’s done.
