Some business relationships start with a handshake. This one started with a phone call that could have gone very wrong.
Jessica Benevento, your mortgage matchmaker, and co host Jason welcome Top Producing Realtor Debrah Pitrat of OMNI Homes International for her very first podcast appearance, and she arrives with a story that says everything about who she is. When a Zillow lead put Debrah across from a buyer who already had an agent (the buyer's own aunt), most agents would have quietly kept showing houses. Debrah picked up the phone and called the lender first. That call reached Jess, and what could have been an awkward turf moment became the start of a partnership built on honesty, warmth, and doing the right thing when nobody is watching.
The client chose Debrah anyway, the aunt handled it with grace, and about a week later a handwritten letter showed up in Jess's mailbox. In an industry of drip campaigns and auto texts, Debrah writes letters. That is the whole episode in one image.
In this conversation you will hear how Debrah helps families land in Scottsdale, North Phoenix, Glendale, Peoria, Sun City, Surprise, and Paradise Valley, why luxury, relocation, and new construction clients keep referring her, and why Jess and Jason swear by the simplest business filter there is: work with people you actually like.
