About Debbie

I believe that buying or selling a home should be a good experience with a great outcome - for my clients! With a degree from Scripps College in Economics and Accounting, I began my career working in Finance for an S&L, then as an accountant for Ernst & Whinney and later for homeowner’s associations. As a parent volunteer and substitute teacher in Del Mar, I learned firsthand what makes our schools strong. I also gained valuable understanding of residential home development as Chair of the Project Review Committee for the Torrey Pines Community Planning Board. Now, as a real estate agent since 2004, I apply that experience in accounting, finance, and property development to my clients’ success. I believe that buying or selling a home should be a good experience with a great outcome for my clients! My personal experience in buying and renovating homes and rental properties is a key part of the skills and empathy that I bring to my clients. Working with support from my husband and business partner Bill enables me to focus on maintaining deep knowledge and understanding of the local real estate market. We have five grown children and a few grandchildren as well! Success in the real estate business has enabled me to give back to the community,. We donate to the STEAM program in the Del Mar school district, and help homeless families with children by supporting Solutions for Change, a wonderful charity that helps families get off the streets and on the road to living in happy homes.

I’m so glad I picked Debbie to sell my Dad’s house!

I’m so glad I picked Debbie to sell my Dad’s house. Her great marketing quickly got us a buyer and a backup offer. Debbie skillfully navigated some complex challenges and closed the sale in record time. I'm very grateful!

Debbie helped us both sell & buy our next home!!

Debbie and Bill recently helped us successfully conclude a dual transaction both buying a home and selling our abode in Del Mar. It was a real pleasure working with both individuals who effectively leveraged theirs skills and operated as a seamless team that kept my wife and I appraised of progress at every step of the way. Debbie and Bill provided helpful insights and advise that assisted in both our purchasing and sales decision - often times highlighting issues that we might have otherwise missed. Both transaction were incredibly professionally managed and with a keen eye towards personal attention during what is, potentially, a stressful time. I would highly recommend both agents to anyone seeking to buy or sell a home.

Deep knowledge of the whole city brought me success!

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Debbie from our initial lunch meeting through to her continued support after escrow has closed. Debbie’s deep knowledge of the whole city helped me narrow my search to an area that works well for us from multiple vantages. She consistently showed me properties in neighborhoods that met all of my requirements and was sensitive to my commute time to work. She brought a property to me even before it went on the market, and got my offer selected by the seller after they had an open house and multiple offers made on the same day as mine. She was always available for calls and ensured that I completely understood each phase of the buying process. As a first time buyer this was priceless for me! With her experienced guidance during negotiations and escrow, my purchase closed smoothly and successfully.

Helped us buy our first US home. Great!

Debbie and Bill were the perfect agents to help us to buy our first US home. Having come from a very different housing market in the UK, we wanted to take our time finding the right home in the US. Debbie and Bill allowed us the time to explore the market and helped us to refine our search area. Debbie's knowledge of the market and contacts in the industry meant that we saw only close to ideal homes and we saw them first. Bill technical knowledge came to the fore when we were viewing houses. They made themselves available all hours for advice, which is how we closed on time under difficult circumstances! We are very pleased with our purchase. We will definitely recommend Debbie and Bill to our friends.
