BEST real estate agent ever!!! My husband and I have worked with multiple real estate agents over the years, as we have moved seven times in 11 years for work. Nobody is better than Deborah in terms of knowledge of the business, the San Francisco market and enjoyment of the process. Deborah made the process of finding a condo for our daughter easy and fun. Not only did we find the perfect home to purchase but we learned so many fun and useful facts about the various neighborhoods she escorted us through. Also, as this was our first condo purchase, there were so many relevant facts to know that Deborah readily educated us on. She even recommended the absolutely best financial officer to help us get the best rates in the market. Cannot recommend Deborah highly enough!
Deborah is simply phenomenal. Never have I ever previously worked with an agent who is as competent as Deborah. She knew all details about condo buildings, value and safety of neighborhoods, pros and cons of each unit. She as a joy to work with and absolutely puts your needs first, while helping to steer you. She should be the choice agent for anyone looking to purchase a property in SF. Simply the best, hands down.
Deborah is an insightful, knowledgable and well connected agent. She was able to help navigate the highly competitive and a little crazy home market with thoughtful and relevant guidance. 
We had the pleasure of working with Deborah during our home search, which began amongst the pandemic as we started to explore neighborhoods and learn more about the city. Deborah was incredibly astute, helpful, and intuitive while exploring our needs and matching them to the most suitable micro-neighborhoods. As a first-time homebuyer, it was invaluable to have Deborah's extensive experience in prioritizing the many facets of a home in a structured way. 
Deborah is fantastic. My wife and I have used Deborah three separate times. Each time has been a great experience. Her attention to detail is unmatched. Deborah's local knowledge of the city is amazing. She orchestrated the entire sale process for us seamlessly. She has contacts to get prep work done and our home staged. All done on time and one budget. She is an expert negotiator. We can't recommend her highly enough. 
If you're reading this you're at least considering working with Deborah. Clearly you're wondering what all the 5 stars are about. I'm here to let you know: You will not, ever, find a better real estate agent than Deborah. She is absolutely best in class and embodies everything you need on your side in what is arguably one of the more significant milestones in life.
You will not find a better real estate agent than Deborah. She helped us find our dream home. Denorah has decades of experience and stays in top of the market. She features all of the traits you would want in an agent - knowledgeable, trustworthy, responsive, and diligent. In a tough market, she stayed on top of new Listings, and gave us honest assessments of whether to pursue a listing or not. Some agents might be out to make a quick buck. Not Deborah. We always felt that she was looking out for our best interests, and it worked out in the end. I would highly recommend that you contact Deborah if you're looking for an agent. 
Deborah is the top of tops we've worked with - in the entire real estate profession, but also in one of the most complicated markets. She's the most fair, honest, clear and focused person and balances that with a ton of consideration and thought towards your own personal life, career, needs and dreams to really help you find the best path through a milestone in your life. She also has so much experience that there's never a surprise with her, and through both purchasing and selling homes with her over the past 5 years, we definitely threw some curveballs. But every single time, and without hesitation, she knew (in detail) what to do.
Deborah is the best agent I could imagine working with, especially in a market as crazy as San Francisco.
I rarely write reviews on Yelp but really wanted to leave one for Deborah. I moved out of my SF condo during Covid as I needed a bigger space for my son. I worked with another agent before Deborah, and she was okay but she just couldn't sell it for six months despite the fact that we lowered the price significantly. After that six months, with a strong recommendation from another friend of mine, I've decided to work with Deborah. In less than 10 days, she found a buyer who was a perfect fit for for my condo. Ultimately selling your property matters and Deborah did a fantastic job doing so, but I also want to call out how responsive and accommodating she was throughout the whole process (however late in the night. I have a full time job and a toddler so it wasn't easy for me to contact her during the day time). She's very attentive and empathetic, and I can't recommend her enough.
I had the pleasure of working with Deborah over my first and second home purchases in San Francisco, as well as selling my first condo. I couldn't be happier with my experience.
I had the pleasure of working with Deborah over my first and second home purchases in San Francisco, as well as selling my first condo. I couldn't be happier with my experience. Her knowledge of the whole process is phenomenal. She held my hand through the whole complex procedure. She was never annoyed when I had to ask her several times about certain matters that felt incomprehensible to me. She answered promptly and clearly.She even went above and beyond in helping me with some minor repairs and renovations of my new home purchase. Enlisting contractors that she worked with as well as making her self available in surveying their work. She still checks in with me even when her work is clearly done. I couldn't have asked for a better agent. I would give her 10 stars if I can. Thank you Deborah for everything! 
Deborah is one of the most experienced and professional real estate agents in SF. After working with a different agent and losing out on several houses, we decided to change agents and thankfully found Deborah. She helped us navigate the complicated SF market and purchase and later sell our first home. She is extremely savvy and has strong, successful strategies for buying and purchasing in the Bay Area. We sadly moved out of CA but if we ever return, we will only work with Deborah.
We worked with Deborah to buy our first house in San Francisco. Deborah has tremendous real estate experience that clearly showed in all the valuable advice she gave us at every step of the way! She worked alongside us right from figuring out our requirements to scouting houses to helping move very quickly when we found a house we liked and placing the best competitive offer (we got the first house we placed an offer on). Even after she stayed with us while we worked with lenders and contractors to make sure we were happy and satisfied with everything. She really made buying a house in SF feel easy and I highly recommend her to everyone! 
We worked with Deborah to buy our new family home in San Francisco. Deborah is the best agent we've ever worked with. She's always on call to help answer any questions, she'll be honest with you, and she'll get everything done on time to ensure you get the property you're looking for.

If it wasn't for Deborah's advice I wouldn't be here sitting in my new family dream home writing this review. You always know that Deborah has your back when you work with her. Once you hire her, she treats you like family.I can guarantee we'll be working with Deborah whenever we decide to buy or sell again and we'll be recommending her to all of our friends.
Deborah is a GREAT real estate agent. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the SF real estate market, direct and respectful with her opinions, patient in the search process, well connected and very responsive. I enjoyed working with her and the next time I'm in the SF market, she will definitely be the first person I call. 
If you want a realtor who will be your best advocate, Deborah is the agent for you.
If you want a realtor who will be your best advocate, Deborah is the agent for you.My husband and I bought a new single family home and sold our old condo with Deborah. This was the second time buying a home in San Francisco and working with Deborah for the second time. She is a terrific realtor and after working with her again, it is obvious that she possesses a depth of experience and knowledge of the SF market. All this happened during COVID, which added a layer of complexity to the whole process.When we first started the home buying process, Deborah listened to our home wants and needs and asked the right questions to help us find our dream home. We saw about 15 homes with Deborah before finding the right one. Touring with her was always fun (and she's on time!) and she pointed so many things out about each home. What I admire most from Deborah is her honesty. She won't lie to you and also sets realistic expectations during both the home buying and selling processes. Also, she is extremely well connected, which really helps when putting in an offer. She was also adept and skillful in the negotiation process during the sale of our condo.Deborah is also very busy with lots of other clients but we never felt ignored. She would always answer any email or text quickly, as if we were her only client. We really love our new home, and it was made possible with Deborah's help.
My husband and I have worked with Deborah across 15 years, 2 house purchases and 2 house sales. We stumbled onto Deborah back in 2005 and quickly found that we were in extremely capable hands, working with the consummate real estate professional. Deborah knows the business, the market and how to best serve her clients. We, thankfully, put our full trust in Deborah and she delivered for us each time. Sadly, we've moved out of the area, but will always be card-carrying members of Deborah's fan club! 
We worked with Deborah when we moved to San Francisco in 2006. She showed us so many homes and then when we picked the one we wanted, helped us strategize on our offer and through patience (ours) and persistence (hers) was able to secure the property for us at our initial offer price. So when it came time to sell in 2020, there was no question that we wanted Deborah to be our listing agent. She worked with us to determine the things to do to our home to get top dollar. She coordinated contractors, helped us choose materials, and supervised the staging. There was a lot to do but Deborah was organized and cheerful throughout. We sold our home quickly at a very good price. I know Deborah has a lot of clients but she always made us feel that we were her top priority. If we ever move back to San Francisco, I know who I'm going to call!

We were first time home buyers looking to buy for the first time in the San Francisco condo market. Given our lack of experience, we were looking for an agent that would help guide us through this competitive market during COVID. We're super glad that we made the perfect choice with Deborah.

No matter when we had a question, Deborah responded within minutes and was able to fit in time to have quick phone calls with us to not only answer our questions, but also explain the details of whatever we were asking. She definitely also had patience for my never ending list of questions, which was really appreciated, even though we're sure she was really busy all the time.Deborah helped handle so much of the process for us, besides just finding us listings and taking us to showings, she also met with us in depth to explain the paperwork we needed to sign, recommended inspections for us to do, helped us understand what future repair work would be needed, explained to us the details of home insurance, and much more. She really demonstrated her experience time after time, as she understood the details of many nuances of San Francisco's markets, buildings, codes, etc, that wouldn't be immediately apparent through self-research. Deborah also never made us feel like she would drop the ball, as she was always available and would quickly update us with new information as soon as it became available, which is extremely important in the fast-moving, real-time SF real estate market. She not only made sure she always did her end of the job correctly, but she also made sure to keep our lender, title company, inspectors, insurance agent, etc on schedule as well to make sure the whole closing process and deal went smoothly (which it did in the end).Lastly, despite Deborah being very serious and to-the-point with her work, she always felt very warm and kind to us and we never felt hesitant to chat with her.I honestly wish everyone I worked with was as on top of things as Deborah was! You would definitely not be making a mistake choosing her as your agent to buy in San Francisco.
Deborah is fantastic! She helped me sell a property in Potrero Hill that had several complex factors that she navigated gracefully and with persistence.
6 star broker! Deborah knows SF very well, down to the buildings, and in some cases even the units. Having that kind of intell at your fingertips is incredibly helpful, especially in a crazy competitive market.Her solid relationships with the broker community also means your transaction will go smoothly, as it's already built on a foundation of friendship and trust. I also relied on Deborah for a lender recommendation, where best to buy appliances, even SF's best restaurants! Amidst unprecedented and challenging times (the global pandemic CV19) she was also able to ensure we closed quickly, ahead of schedule, so that I could shelter in place in my new home. It's hard to put into words the psychic relief this has given me. Have transacted in real estate 3x and this was by far the easiest (albeit in the hardest market) and most seamless, largely due to Deborah's expertise and resolution oriented ways. Highly recommend!
6 star broker!
Deborah is truly an incredible agent and a superb advocate! She represented me incredibly well as a buyer's agent for my very first condo in SF. To say I was a bit nervous about the entire process is a bit of an understatement. However, from the very minute of my introduction to Deborah, I knew I was in good hands. She was incredibly thoughtful and thorough in helping me search for potential properties, swift to set up showings, and diligent in her perspective on each place I visited. Her knowledge of San Francisco and, in particular, the real estate market is insane. When the time came to make an offer, Deborah patiently walked me through the process and gave me truly valuable guidance. She really did make the entire ordeal so much less stressful. I absolutely love my new home and am so grateful to have found the one real estate agent I'll ever need in SF! Thanks Deborah!
