Born in Virginia, Debra moved to Sarasota in 1979 and has made it her home ever since.
With a decision, now over 30 years ago, Debra decided real estate was to be her career and focused on the skills she viewed necessary to help sellers and buyers make informed decisions by offering our area's diverse lifestyle choices available, current market trends in each segment, including the local factors affecting pricing, and ultimately, negotiation.
When marketing a property for sale, the tried-and-true strategy starts with one-on-one customer consultation, which leads to effective staging, supporting her innovative marketing with the common goal of attracting the best buyer in a preferred timetable. This is the key to capitalizing on today's market. Debra's successful track record is the product of a wealth of experience, which gives her a solid understanding of the Sarasota/Manatee market.
In our regional community, she has developed extensive knowledge of Sarasota and Manatee's many waterfront and boating communities, aided by her years on the water along the Gulf Coast.
With over 20 years of experience in commercial and retail development, she adds extensive commercial capability to her residential real estate background. This occurred through working closely with a comprehensive list of Fortune 500 companies and developers who develop retail, hotels, and multifamily properties throughout Florida. She believes that straight-talking integrity, ethics, and a great customer experience, taken together, are the keys to success for any buyer or seller. You will find Debra an exceptional listener, detail-oriented, and always well prepared to meet her customers' needs, both Buyer and Seller.
