About Deborah

A TEAM COMMITED TO UNPARALLELED EXCELLENCE When making real estate choices, whether buying or selling – it is never as simple as “black and white.” There are countless “gray” areas and regardless of one’s wisdom and intelligence, you need a Realtor – a professional - to navigate you through those decisions. What IS a “Realtor professional?” It is someone who has been educated and “continues” to get educated in the field of real estate to serve their clients in an optimal manner. Let’s be clear – it is easy to “study” for the real estate exam, take a test and get a license. What is “not” easy – is the decision and dedication to continue to get educated, stay on top of changes in the industry AND work as such that they have a collaborative reputation in the industry when it comes to working with other professionals, especially in competing or multiple offer situations. It is a professional who is gifted at the plethora of tasks that one must go through in order to serve a seller and/or a buyer, especially when doing so simultaneously.
