Helping people find their dream home is my dream job.

I have lived in Portland for 18 years and consider Portland my adopted home. I got into real estate after working in the trenches of social work for many years. As a result of my background in social work and servicing my clients’ every changing needs, I bring with me great communication skills and a deep caring and understand of the needs of my clients. I love the varied architecture that Portland has to offer. I love getting to know my clients and helping them discover which kinds of homes and neighborhoods best meet their needs.

I don’t see myself as a salesperson. Rather, I am a service professional. I bring my caring nature to my work and I am always there for my clients.

I feel so fortunate to have found Living Room Realty. At the brokerage, I collaborate with a diverse team of marketing professionals in order to capture the emotion of every home that I list. The marketing materials produced are the most beautiful and authentic way to sell your home and get the most out of your listing.

When I am not at the office or out with clients, you can find me hiking, reading, and cooking. I currently live in close-in SW Portland with my husband Chris, and our two kids Elias (11) and Inez (8).

Debra's Testimonials

Debra is a wonder. What we most appreciate about her is her calm demeanor and cheer throughout our entire home buying experience. Her instinct for what a family needs and wants is spot-on; we initially passed on looking at the house she helped us buy, but her gentle urging convinced us to come see it, and she was right: it is remarkably perfect for us. She was organized, thorough, a great communicator and used great foresight throughout the transaction so that there were no surprises. She represented us with grace to the sellers when there were points of tension and expertly navigated situations that could have escalated into disagreement. We are beyond happy with her service, and even better, as a person she is second to none. We recommend her without reservation!

Justin & Keren

Debra was a wonderful help while buying my home!. She organized all the different contractors to do the inspection and was truly a trusted advisor when considering all the factors of different homes we looked at and finally deciding to buy my home. Debra was extremely responsive to my needs, warm, helpful, understanding and patient. She answered all my questions quickly and explained the entire process in English! I highly recommend working with her.
