Deborah was so thorough and amazing to work with. I was the loan officer on a loan we closed together recently. She expressed so much care for the client and was high-level throughout the process. Would love to work together again! I highly recommend using her on your next home purchase!

Deborah Stafford is the absolute best. She and her team at Stafford Realty Group with Better Homes & Gardens in Roseville helped us buy our very first home in El Dorado County, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

As first-time homebuyers, we had so many questions and needed a lot of guidance, and Deborah’s team was there for us every step of the way. They were incredibly responsive (often at a moment’s notice), super organized, and always ahead of the game. They anticipated our needs before we even knew what to ask and kept us informed and reassured the entire time.

What really stood out is how hard they fought for us. We always felt like we had someone in our corner who genuinely cared. They made a stressful process feel calm, manageable, and even exciting.

Now we’re settling into our new home and still can’t believe how smooth everything went. If you’re looking for a realtor who’s knowledgeable, kind, experienced, and truly has your back…Deborah is the one! You’ll be in great hands!

13 house purchases in my lifetime and Deborah Stafford and her Assistant Georgette were hands down the absolute best! They displayed great kindness and patience as they dealt with this newly widowed woman relocating from Oregon to Sacramento. As you can imagine, I was not an easy client, but Deborah put absolutely no pressure on me, spent 5 months showing me homes, even when she knew my old home needed to close before purchase. She told me just looking would give both of a us a feel for what interested me. She helped me find the perfect home and Georgette was there to answer questions, schedule home improvement services, etc. Her knowledge of folks to hire for improvements prior to move in, were excellent choices to make my home truly mine. She and Georgette celebrated with me, greeted me at my new home with the keys, a sign, photos and a lovely gift. She continues to answer questions and provide references for services even after closing. Deborah is absolutely an agent you can trust, who will be honest and frank with you and help you with all of the details of the purchase and negotiations. The assistance of her team members Georgette and Jamie make the process seamless and smooth. Customer satisfaction is the key to their success...they rock it!

She was the Real Estate Agent for my mom and worked both in coordination with myself and my mom to find the right fit. She was patient, spent a lot of time developing a feel for what my mom both wanted and would benefit from. She offered sound advice, without creating pressure on a decision and respected my mom's decision without question. I would recommend for any person searching for a home in the Sacramento area as Deborah and her team demonstrated professionalism and an attention to detail I look for in any professional we solicit.

I have worked twice with Deborah Stafford in the past couple years, selling my home and recently purchasing a home. She was wealth of knowledge and tremendous support during both transactions. She really cared that I purchase the right home for me.

She always informed me of the next steps, provided clear explanation and advice. Most importantly, she and her assistant, Georgette, were very supportive and kind and called often to say hello and ask how I was doing. I would highly recommend to anybody looking to buy or sell their home to hire Deborah Stafford as their Realtor. She is the best!

I have had the honor of working with Deborah and Georgette for multiple clients. I have yet to meet one client who has not praised them for their personal service, attention to detail, and honesty. Deborah is incredibly knowledgeable and always a step ahead as to what is happening with the market. Georgette’s communication is second to none. They have a recommended formula for a successful sale and it works! I would highly recommended them to anyone, whether selling or buying, with complete confidence in meeting every need.

Deborah Stafford is the epitome of professionalism. Having utilized her services on the sale of my home, I can recommend her without hesitation. She is unparalleled in her expertise, professionalism and negotiation skills. Throughout the entire process of selling our home, her entire team went above and beyond to give us the best possible outcome. Nearly two years prior to going on the market, she advised and assisted us as we prepared our home for listing. She gave us objective counsel on what to do and not do to prepare the house and I can’t tell you how valuable that advice was - it saved us time, money and stress. When it came time to list our home, every detail from marketing to shoe covers was handled meticulously and promptly. Deborah’s assessment of the market was spot-on and within days we had multiple offers. And this is where she truly shines. Her negotiation skills were most impressive and we were beyond happy with the outcome. Because Deborah has seen the market’s ebb and flow numerous times, I am confident whatever the market, she will know what to do no matter if you are selling or buying. On top of all this, you couldn’t find a more pleasant or generous person to work with. It has been my pleasure to recommend Deborah to every person I know who is looking for a realtor and without exception, their experience has been every bit as wonderful.

Deborah is one of the most dedicated realtors I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Her work ethic, knowledge of the market, aggressive yet methodical approach to landing deals for her buyers and sellers is without a doubt some of the best negotiating I have seen. I have personally had her sell a home for us and helped us buy our current home which was from a new developer that said we could not negotiate the price. WRONG.. lol Deborah was able to get us over $10k in extra incentives we were initially told was not an option. After personally being in the real estate industry for 30 years and working with many other realtors, she is hands downs the best at what she does. 😊

Deborah exceeded expectations throughout the entire process and was amazing through every stage of our home purchase. She was our ally, friend and advisor and helped us navigate a very difficult time to buy a house. We felt like we were always "ahead of the curve" in every step of the process, which was entirely due to Deborah's thoroughness, dedication and professionalism. We knew that Deborah and let's not forget Georgette, always had all bases covered. Honestly, there is no one else I'd rather work with, Deborah and Georgette are simply the BEST in the business.

Let me tell you why MY realtor is better than the rest:
Originally I was working with someone else but he really didn’t understand my needs and the type of homes I was interested in. Then I met Deborah by a chance. I was walking to an open house and ran into one of my clients who referred me to Deborah.
And it was a perfect match. She sat down with me and showed me the paperwork of everything to expect in the upcoming months once I do find something. We searched, the market went up, and I took a break until I was ready again. But Deborah and Georgette didn’t forget about me. Once in a while they would send me my ideal home in my ideal neighborhoods but they were also realistic with me and helped me make wise decisions as a first time buyer. That was crucial. Deborah communicated clearly the whole time, was always available when I was concerned or had questions AND THE BEST PART— I bought this house AS IS. It’s a fixer for sure, so I thought, that’s that! It needed everything! Termite damage, new roof, mold, updating throughout and she managed to get me a credit of 23k! That has helped so much. I don’t know how she did it but together we beat a cash offer and it’s looking amazing. I’m so glad I had a great team with me. I don’t think this was possible without them!

Stafford Realty Group made miracles happen when helping our family of 4 relocate to Lincoln! Deborah and her team listened to our wish list and helped us narrow down what areas would be best for our family based on their expertise in the area. We loved their honesty, responsiveness, and ability to understand our priorities. The housing market was so different from where we were coming from, and their knowledge helped us find a perfect home for us that was completely different than what we were originally looking for. Once we found a house, they had us under contract in less than 24 hours, coordinated inspections with quality providers, and helped us negotiate when some issues were found. They even helped us find a flooring contractor! They went above and beyond every expectation we had. We can never thank them enough for helping us find a wonderful home that we can make our own as our family embarks on a new adventure.

Kudos of the best kind are in order for Realtor Deborah Stafford and her hard working Better Homes and Garden RE staff! Their attention to detail and extensive realtor backgrounds cut to the chase of not only selling the property, but also staying on top of the escrow proceedings to the very end of sale. Would highly recommend utilizing their professional realtor services that include a professional demeanor at all times as they kept in contarct, answering questions and seemingly a step ahead in insuring a timely, worthy sale price of the property.

We spent year looking at hundreds of houses and they patiently stood by us for every one never pressuring us to do anything that wasn't perfect for us. When we finally found our home, Deborah went to bat and hit the ball out of the park with her tenacity. The teamwork everybody put into our 21-day home close was flawless and as much as I love our home I look forward to having Deborah and her team help us for our future real estate adventures! 10/10 would highly recommend!

Deborah and her team are simply outstanding. From start to finish a truly stress free experience. Both Deborah and Georgette have a crew contractors, landscapers, inspectors, and cleaners that are professional and do A+ quality work. I have bought and sold using the Stafford Realty group and would not go anywhere else. They have not only built a life long client relationship but a very valued friendship as well. Being a veteran Deborah was seamless on how to take the VA loan head on and get my offer accepted. I am Very pleased and I highly recommend!!!

As a first time home buyer, I couldn't have wished for more from a representative. Deborah was so meticulous through out the process and it only took less than a month to close my house. A process people usually stereotype has hectic when buying a house was so smooth and it was at the time of closing, it dawned on me that I bought a house simply because of how easy Deborah made it seem. I highly recommend Deborah and her team 100 percent to any one.

Deborah helped us in a seemingly impossible task - selling our family home of over 50 years, including an on-site commercial building. Her professional guidance was instrumental in navigating options and ideas for estate sale liquidators, preparing the property for sale, competitive pricing staging, and evaluating offers. She showed extraordinary grace in guiding our elderly mother through the whole process, recognizing how emotional this milestone was in our family history. I highly recommend Deborah and Georgette for their compassion, knowledge, integrity, and professionalism. They get results!

Deborah Stafford and her team are beyond brilliant in every way. They served as the selling realtor for my prior home, and as my buying realtor for my current home.

They are phenomenally knowledgeable about every aspect of the real estate business, and I felt 100% confident during all of my transactions that they were sincerely working in my best interest.

Deborah and her team were always prompt and responsive any time I needed them, and made my house hunting process a great learning experience.

As a big bonus, Deborah and all of her staff are incredibly fun to work with! We’ve stayed in touch for over a year after our business was completed, just because they’re awesome.

I would recommend Deborah Stafford with zero reservations! She’s the best in the business!
