Debra Oconnell

Experienced REALTOR® with a demonstrated history of working in the real estate industry. Skilled in Negotiation, Listings, Sales, Real Property, Waterfront Property, New Construction, and Rentals.

Debbie is a calm, grace-under-pressure real estate professional who believes in facing challenges head on. Debbie has seen the market's highs and lows and learned there is a way through all of it since being licensed in 2008 and becoming a managing broker in 2014. The real estate market crashed just before Debbie became licensed. Even in a down market, she earned Rookie of the Year her first year. Debbie received a Communications degree with a minor in marketing from ODU and after spending 10 years in advertising sales for the Virginian Pilot, and taking a break to raise children, Debbie knew she found a career that would use her education and experience in sales and marketing as well as her desire to serve and help people. As an agent she used that motivation to help her clients achieve their real estate goals. Debbie is licensed in both Virginia and North Carolina.
