Debbie Magnusen

In Debbie’s work, relationships are everything. Her clients come to her to help them make the biggest decisions in their lives. It is a privilege to have that trust, and one which she never squanders. Debbie listens to her clients, not just when they are talking about the sort of house they would like, but about the way that they live their lives. She learns the trivial things about them, as they can make the biggest differences in finding the perfect home. Relationships with her peers are equally important. Wholeheartedly that ego has no place in a real estate transaction (or anywhere else, for that matter). Debbie believes in cooperation. She approaches other agents in a non-adversarial way, while standing up for the needs and rights of her clients, ensuring a smooth transaction for everyone, from offer submission to contract settlement. Born and raised in Evanston, Debbie has a lifelong relationship with the City of Chicago. It is where she grew up, where she got married, and where she raised her own family. Debbie chooses to work there because Chicago's diversity, excitement, and beauty feed her soul. She wants the people with whom she works to develop their own relationships with it and to love it every bit as much as she does. In Debbie’s family, education has always played a significant role. These values came with Debbie when she matriculated at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale, where she earned a Bachelor of Science in Journalism and graduated at the top of her class. They came with Debbie as she fostered her career over more than 30 years, earning her broker's license, relocation certification, and countless awards for exemplary service and proficiency in sales. Debbie wanted to work with @properties because their work ethic and mine make an excellent pairing. They value relationships with their customers, with their clients, and with their agents. They work in a high-energy, highly positive atmosphere in which they work together to find the best solutions for their customers.
