Debra is absolutely fantastic! She made the whole transaction go so smoothly. My family and I have had quite a bit of real estate in Yosemite National Park over the years. There are plenty of agents in the area but none of them measure up to Debra. She is definitely the most professional and knowledgeable agent in Mariposa County. I highly recommend her!!!
After speaking with Debra on the phone a couple times I decided not to go ahead with my plan to speak to a few realtors before deciding which one would be best for my needs. I honestly couldn't see how anyone else would be able to show the willingness and the genuine interest that Debra had shown in helping me find just the right home for my needs.
Thank you, Jean. It was a pleasure helping you find just the right home. May you enjoy it for many, many years.

You will not ever find an agent with more integrity, professionalism and patience. Through a challenging five month escrow she consistently served the best needs of my family. We feel exceptionally lucky to have had her on our side.
I would be very happy to have Debra assist me on any other property projects that I may have in the future. She did a great job for me.

We had a very special case, living abroad and buying a foreclosure home. Our case had many challenges to overcome at every point, including an online auction and international financing. Debra helped us through though times, always staying positive and motivated! She has nerves of steel and handled everything extremely professionally. It was wonderful meeting Debra in person. What a great, kind soul, not only as a real estate agent but as a human being. We felt we could trust her 100% and we did. There was not a single phone call she missed! She has an extensive real estate experience, patience and kindness. We highly recommend Debra Kroon and are proud to refer her to all of our friends, family and you!

I listed a mountain lot with Debra during a tough time to sell and she got the job done at a price I was very happy with. She kept me well informed throughout the process and was a pleasant person to deal with.

Debra was very easy to work with. Always available via phone and e-mail. Almost all documents signed via DocuSign so working with her via long distance was easy. She is very familiar with the Yosemite West area.

We are not local to the Oakhurst area. We contacted Debra because we wanted to start looking for a vacation/retirement home. She was completely flexible, showing us homes between Christmas and New Years. We found a house and made an offer. She kept us in the loop during the negotiations and then helped manage everything in the closing process. We used docusign in order to do things remotely.We would highly recommend her.

Debra is the best! She has so much knowledge about the local community. I was buying a house 180 miles away from where I live. Debra helped me on every step of my buying process. From early days when I just browsing around on the internet, she answered so many of my questions repeately, to the days after I closed my escrow.Without her help, I don't think I get my dream vacation house so smoothly.Thank you, Debra. You are my first friend in Oakhurst, near my faverate Yosemite National Park.

Debra is a wonderful realtor to work with. This was the third real estate transaction that Debra has helped me, and my family with. I would not have used her services three times if they were not of the highest quality. Her knowledge of Oakhurst, and the surrounding areas is very impressive.

Based on personal experience, let me tell you why you will relish Debra Kroon's help as you buy your dream property in the sierras.Buying undeveloped land was new to my husband and me. The details were wholly different from our prior purchase of a home in an urban area. Debra's expertise was invaluable. The knowledge she sharedaEUR"on utility companies, well-drilling, forest service easements, wildland fire regulationsaEUR"was always exactly the right info to guide our decisions.Of course, that type of info is what you should rightfully expect from your realtor. So now consider the following ways Debra goes above and beyond. Debra has expansive, deep-rooted familiarity with the communities surrounding Yosemite west. In an area where google-maps and printed maps alike still regularly make missteps, Debra's mental map of the area is flawless. Her recollection of the lay of the land and numerous landmarks is uncanny.Finally, the icing on the cake is how effectively and efficiently Debra communicates via email. The fact that we succeeded in purchasing our dream vacation property from 300 miles away is entirely to Debra's credit. Debra's ease with technology gave us the confidence to property-shop near Yosemite despite the geographical divide. Of course, we made several weekend trips to vet the land in person. Each trip was a joy thanks to Debra's tips on local points of interest and her savvy scheduling of as many lot-viewings as we could drive to in a day. Debra will always have our most sincere gratitude.

We had a very unique property that ended up being a short sale and Debra listed our property and found a buyer within 4 months. Her experience dealing with complex real estate transactions was crucial in getting the property closed with happy buyers and in our case - happy sellers. I must mention that she made the whole experience stress free and kept us very informed as the deal evolved and hit it's many road blocks.

My wife and I looked for a home in th YLP for almost 2 years with an agent but got no where. We met with Ms. Kroon one day and she had us in our new home in less than 2 months. It probably would have been sooner but WE were VERY particular as to what we wanted...Ms. Kroon is certainly the best agent in the area. ..Thank You SO MUCH Debra, your Friends always...the Ochoa's

Listed a house in Yosemite West for sale in September - expecting a 2 to 3 year sales period as it is 2nd home/resort property.Debra brought a buyer who paid close to the selling price in an all cash offer. House closed in March (closing delayed only by winter weather.)Debra priced the property properly (no one knows Yosemite West as well), followed through on her proposed marketing plan and closed the sale quickly and efficiently.

Debra helped us buy a lot in Yosemite West, which she knows well havinggrown up there. She went the extra mile to find lots that were not listed,and 1 ended up being a bargain for us. We would definitely use heragain to buy or sell.She wasn't able to help on the negotiation, since she was representingboth sides of the transaction, and that was probably the only downside tothe transaction.

Debra. Kroon is an exceptional person. She is in the very highest echelon of people as far as industriousness and intelligence and comprehension. She is a tireless worker. An example of her diligence is that she never had formal schooling in computers,Seemed to foresee the looming computer age and self taught herself to an extent that is astonishing. She now excels in that area and teaches others, including me. She has represented me in the purchase of my present home, where her efforts Resulted in the purchase of the home well below the market and her knowledge of Real estate laws and rules put us in a position of significant advantage. I would recommend Debra for anything she puts her mind to do. Dayna Saunders
