Before becoming a REALTORA(R), Debra built a successful career as a Registered Nurse and Certified Nurse Midwife. That experience shaped her calm, patient approach to guiding clients through significant life transitions. Whether helping a family purchase their first home, assisting retirees relocating to Maine's coast, or marketing a waterfront property, she believes informed clients make confident decisions. Debra also maintains an inactive Florida real estate license, giving her additional insight when assisting clients relocating between states.
Debra has earned the Graduate, REALTORA(R) Institute (GRI) and e-PROA(R) designations and has received Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Gold and Silver Awards during the past five years. Clients consistently describe her as knowledgeable, trustworthy, patient, responsive, and willing to go above and beyond throughout the buying and selling process.
