About Debra

Real Estate Consultant | Relationship Builder | Family Advocate

I'm an experienced real estate consultant with a passion for helping people make informed decisions about buying and selling homes. With a career spanning over four decades, I’ve been fortunate to serve clients and colleagues across the country, always prioritizing strong, positive relationships above all.

I began my real estate career in 1982 in Kansas City, Missouri, and since then, I’ve had the pleasure of working in a variety of roles that have shaped my unique approach to real estate. From serving as a Regional Director with Century 21 in the Mid-Atlantic to overseeing brand marketing for over 7,000 affiliates nationwide, I’ve gained a wealth of knowledge and a deep appreciation for what makes each real estate transaction truly special.

In 2006, I took a leap of faith and purchased my own real estate company in California, where I led a team of 85 dedicated professionals and successfully grew an escrow company. In 2011, I merged my company with Capitis Real Estate, and in 2014, I joined WEICHERT, REAL ESTATE AFFILIATES as Regional Director for the Western and Heartland regions. Each of these experiences has reinforced my belief in the importance of nurturing relationships with clients, colleagues, and partners.

Now that I’ve retired from corporate life, I’m focused on what I love most: helping people navigate one of the most important decisions of their lives—buying or selling a home. I’m eager to offer my expertise and dedication to make your real estate journey a seamless, enjoyable experience.

Beyond my professional life, I’m an avid reader and a proud member of two book clubs, a golfer (sometimes a “hacker”), a wine enthusiast, and a lover of classic films (TCM and AMC are my go-to channels) and sports...especially the Kansas City Chiefs! Above all, I cherish my role as a wife, daughter, sister, aunt, great aunt, stepmom, and grandmother to a beautiful family.

I look forward to connecting with you and adding you to the list of people I have the privilege of serving.
