Deborah will be our realtor again!

We had an excellent experience with Deborah as our realtor. As first time homebuyers and being new to
the Santa Cruz area, we had tons of questions, and Deborah could answer them all (sometimes with a
little research). Based on our interactions with other realtors in the Santa Cruz area, Deborah stands out:
She’s careful, thoughtful and interested in her clients. Before you call anyone else, call Deborah — she’s
great.

We moved to the Santa Cruz area from the Midwest (Detroit, actually), primarily for work. Not having
spent any substantial time in Santa Cruz county, it was all new to us. Deborah escorted us through all
the neighborhoods in Santa Cruz proper, as well as towns to the south (Aptos, Capitola, etc.) and in the
San Lorenzo Valley. All in all, over three separate trips, Deborah looked at over 50 homes with us. At the
end, she knew exactly what we were looking for, and when the house we ended up buying went on the
market, she generously previewed it to save us the trip to CA. Obviously, she thought we would love it —
and we do. After two years, we’re really happy with our home and our new neighborhood.

We also had a complicated mortgage, since it comes through my employer and there are a variety of
stipulations that make it quite different from a regular bank-owned mortgage. Deborah worked with our
mortgage administrator and got it all figured out — much more quickly than I could have.

I send all my friends and coworkers to Deborah, even when they aren’t in the market for a home (I hope
she doesn’t mind). If we ever sell our home and buy a new one, Deborah will be our realtor again.
