About Deborah

Deborah Vance is a REALTOR and AI Certified Agent with Spirit Realty who has helped buyers and sellers throughout San Diego County since 2010. Based in Imperial Beach, she serves Imperial Beach, Chula Vista, Bonita, Coronado and South San Diego. Deborah specializes in South Bay real estate, military relocation, luxury homes, probate sales, investment properties and homeowners who need to sell their current home while buying their next one. Her California license is DRE# 01817973.

Deborah has completed roughly 333 home sales representing approximately $178.2 million in career sales volume, including $17 million in the most recently reported year. In one Imperial Beach transaction, she recognized the value of a large parcel with two houses that another agent had estimated at $735,000 to $750,000. Deborah listed the property for $1.2 million, attracted multiple offers and closed at full asking price in 30 days. Before real estate, she helped produce 12 feature films for Walt Disney and Touchstone Pictures, experience that taught her to manage demanding schedules, detailed marketing and many moving parts at once. She holds the ASA Accredited Senior Agent designation and a degree in Computer Science Engineering from Wentworth Institute of Technology.

Deborah works with properties ranging from condos around $300,000 to homes valued above $3 million. Sellers receive professional photography, twilight and drone images, and a Matterport tour when appropriate. She researches building records, permitted improvements and possible land uses to identify value before a property reaches the market. Through her Seller's Choice Program, she can coordinate sale and purchase contingencies for homeowners who want to move without losing control of either transaction. For buyers, she searches active listings, contacts property owners in neighborhoods of interest and monitors off-market and pre-foreclosure opportunities. She also helps first-time buyers and investors evaluate duplexes, triplexes and other properties that may support long-term real estate investment goals.

An Imperial Beach resident since 2016 and homeowner there since 2020, Deborah brings firsthand knowledge of life near the beach, the ocean, the bay and the communities along the Bayshore Bikeway. She has earned 226 five-star reviews across Google, Zillow and Realtor.com. Reviewers frequently mention that she answers her phone, explains questions without making people feel rushed and gives each transaction close personal attention. Her work with military relocation clients is informed by San Diego's active military presence and the timelines involved in a PCS move.

Deborah brings energy, honest advice and careful preparation to every transaction. Buyers and sellers who want a responsive South Bay real estate agent can call her at 619-884-8783.

Deb is truly one of the best things to happen to us. After years of watching IB, the town we love and have called home for so long, skyrocket out of reach… we had settled for the idea of being lifelong renters.

Deb completely changed all of that. She is a straight shooter and as transparent as they come, things we honestly never thought we’d say about a realtor. Not only did she find us our dream home in our dream location, but she went to bat for us every step of the process. Deb and the lender she works with, Todd, work magic.

From the day we met them until well after we closed on our home, they always made time for us, and walked us through every step of the process with patience. Having shopped several other Realtor/Lenders prior to meeting Deb, we can tell you beyond a doubt they cannot be beat.

Typing this sitting in our new home feels beyond surreal, and none of it would have been possible without Deb. She is truly the gem of IB and is the best in the business!

I have purchased a total of 6 homes in 4 different states and had worked with multiple realtors and I can tell you from experience that Deb Vance left a lasting impression on how the buying process should work. Deb is thorough, knowledgeable and guides you through the process from start to finish. I couldn't ask for a better agent! She was patient and fun to work with. I have dealt with many agents and Deborah is my go to agent. I will always recommend Deb and if I buy another home, Deb will be my first call!

Deborah is AWESOME!!! She is knowledgeable of imperial beach like no other agent. She is prompt and consistent in responding to your needs or concerns. She is tenacious and will fight for you, as your personal advocate, during the whole negotiation process. I would not use any other agent, when buying or selling, in imperial beach.
