I recently sold my home during one of the most challenging real estate markets in years, and I’m so glad I had Debbie Zappala on my side. From the very beginning, Debbie was professional, responsive, and absolutely committed to helping me close the deal. She navigated multiple offers, difficult buyer requests, shifting timelines, and even an HOA violation — all with calm confidence and a clear plan.

She was always honest about the market conditions and helped me make smart decisions when things got complicated. Thanks to her persistence and guidance, I was able to sell my home and walk away with a fair result. If you're looking for a real estate agent who knows her stuff and will truly go to bat for you, I highly recommend Debbie Zappala.

I called Debbie on April 12th saying we needed an agent to buy a home, and we closed May 20th! Everything went very smoothly, the process couldn't have been easier. She lined up 9 homes for us to look at and we took the last one. Good communication all along via email and phone calls.

Debbie and her partner, Lisa were two of the most competent, professional and attentive Realtors I've worked with within the last 28 years. I know my borrowers were thrilled with the service and advice they received from Debbie and Lisa.

Debbie and Todd were both very easy to work with. They are both straight shooters and are fantastic at explaining and providing timely updates throughout every step of the home search and purchase process. Debbie was always on top of making sure repair requests were submitted and was always just a quick call or text away whenever I had any questions. I would highly recommend Debbie and Todd to anyone looking for a home in the greater Phoenix area.

Debbie was the consummate professional when it came to selling our house in Phoenix. At our first meeting she explained the entire process from listing through closing. This included detailed information on comparing our house to others sold in the area which allowed us to price the home competitively and quickly receive offers.
Debbie made all the arrangements for people to view the house and gave us plenty of notice prior to a potential buyers arrival.
Any questions or concerns we had were answered promptly and completely.
In my opinion you will be happy having Debbie Zappala representing your interests when it comes time to sell your home.

Debbie was amazing to work with. She helped us house hunt while we were relocating from the Pacific Northwest. She listened to our needs, was extremely knowledgeable and advocated for us during the entire process. Once we arrived in AZ she continued to help us in any way possible. I would highly recommend working with Debbie and her team.

We came to Anthem not knowing any realtor and literally started calling realtors with great reviews and we knew that Debbie was who we wanted to represent us as soon as we spoke to her. Debbie took the time to understand what we were looking for in a home and started the process right away. Debbie made us feel like her top priority, as she went above and beyond for us. Debbie always replied to any of our questions, did the research if she didn’t know the answer, is a great communicator on both ends of the buyer/seller, has so much knowledge of the Anthem homes and area, and is such a pleasure to work with. Debbie and her team is A+++! I highly recommend reaching out to her if you are looking for a home in Anthem.

Debbie is an accommodating and helpful realtor. My mom needed to move from SC to AZ to be near family. I knew that finding a perfect brand new home to fit my mom's needs and requirements would be challenging and even sometimes exhausting. But Debbie was encouraging during the whole process from the time we looked for a home thru closing. She showed patience, kindness and was involved every step of the way. So let me elaborate a little bit why Debbie gets 4 stars and why I recommend her. My mom is way old school. She doesn't use any technology and is very old fashion. Also, my mom wasn't born in this country, and so there is some cultural differences & language barrier as well. Because my mom does things the old fashion way, people tend to become impatient with her. But not Debbie, she went the extra mile. She was polite, took her time to make suggestions, and was very reassuring & comforting when my mom showed any signs of stress. Debbie's demeanor was always caring, understanding and empathetic. We did not feel rushed one bit. Debbie was there 100% and listened to what my mom needed in a home. I cannot say enough good things about Debbie. She is just awesome! We will be contacting Debbie again and referring our friends to her. Thank you Debbie for helping us find the perfect home for my mom! Thank you, thank you thank you!!!

Our experience in working with Debbie to purchase a house was outstanding! The transaction was effortless even though we live on the East Coast and purchased in Phoenix AZ. Debbie was very professional and guided us every step of the way. She worked tirelessly to make sure we were informed and armed with all the information to make a good decision. She also negotiated a deal that we are very happy with! I will recommend Debbie ten times out of ten!

Cant be more pleased with this woman, Debbie looks out for me like a sister, never choosing what's easiest for her, never cutting with a short cut, always doing her homework and turning over all stones looking for what was best for me, not what's best for others, patient and caring, with a husband that constantly has her back, so in fact you get two with this team, Debbie and Todd are golden in this day of second best on the service end, its nice to feel the concern, and caring during such challenging times with such important matters as a home purchase, and or sale of existing in my situation. Love them, and I'm very grateful.

We chose Debbie to sell our house and very happy we did. She was always professional, honest, responsive and worked diligently to market and sell the home. We could not have asked for a better experience. Although we were not in a hurry to sell, she had photographs, videos and drone shots done and material printed within a few days of listing. Her marketing, we believe, was key to selling our home at the best possible price. We highly recommend Debbie as a realtor you can trust.

If I could describe Debbie in one word as my REA it would be “advocate.” Being new to AZ and Anthem I did a bit of research and found she came highly recommended. I found her to be extremely knowledgeable of Anthem and its market. She’s also realistic and I appreciated her honesty and expertise. She takes the time to hone in on what you’re looking for and navigate through this tough market. Living out of state, she was in constant communication and I did end up putting an offer on a house “sight unseen.” I loved this house and faced some competition and came out disappointed and discouraged. Debbie was persistent and fought to get this house for me. I came to Debbie during a very difficult time in my life. She is a true gem and from signing the offer to signing the closing documents, she and her team have been with me every step of the way. I felt like I was her only client. The process was seamless and I couldn’t have chosen anyone better in my search for a home for myself and family.

Debbie went above and beyond to make sure that the purchase of our home went as painlessly as possible. We moved from out of state and she always accommodated our travel schedule, helped us with inspections and trade estimates and even assisted us when the sale of our home was getting tricky, making sure that we didn’t lose out on our closing on either house. We highly recommend her as an Expert Realtor and all around great person.

My wife and I were looking to buy a home in the Anthem community and needed a realtor. I began searching reviews of realtors in Anthem and I decided to contact Debbie. We found a home we were interested in and Debbie met us there. We didn't get that home, but we continued to work with Debbie to find the home that was right for us. Debbie is very knowledgable regarding the different models and was very attentive to what we were looking for. Although it changed throughout the search due to limited inventory we finally found a home. Debbie was super throughout the entire process. If you are looking for a great realtor, give Debbie a call.

Debbie is the consummate professional. She helped us find a home in Anthem and then she sold it for us less than a year later. The sale ran into issues due to one of the involved parties having COVID-19, and as a result, it turned into a six month process. Debbie was patient beyond belief and never relented, diligently working on our behalf as well as our buyers' (who Debbie also represented). She communicated what she knew when she knew it, even when things got tense. And she always kept her sense of humor! A true joy to work with. I would recommend Debbie to anyone!

Debbie has been absolutely wonderful to work with. I am moving to Arizona from Rhode Island and she has been with me every step of the way from speaking to me on the phone about Arizona, the communities, the homes, her own move from the east coast (which made me feel so much more comfortable!), and any questions I had. Debbie has shown me so many great home listings, conducted showings via FaceTime on our cell phones, helped me narrow down the perfect homes, taught me the “ins and outs” of the rental process, always answered my calls/emails/texts, negotiated on my behalf, and truly made my needs a priority. There is no way I could have navigated this process without her! Debbie is such a kind and genuine person who is well versed and knowledgeable about homes that anyone would be lucky to have her on their side when making such a big decision.

Debbie and Todd are top shelf in every way. When your considering one of life’s largest transactions either buying or selling, choose wisely on experience, not because it’s simply a friend, neighbor or relative. But rather the best realtor with the proven experience this size of transaction deserves.
