About Deborah

After living in Pennsylvania most of my life, I wanted to live where the atmosphere is peaceful and the energy is uplifting. In 1991, my love for the beaches led me to Southwest Florida where we vacationed since 1980.   This move opened up new opportunities for me including obtaining a real estate license.  My background in accounting landed me a job on Sanibel Island in 1993, the place I knew I was destined to work and spend my time.  After working on the island and becoming familiar with the islands and the surrounding area, I started selling real estate full time in 2005.  I enjoy educating myself with the area so that I can assist buyers in finding the right home.   My most enjoyable hobby is travel.   My travels throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico and abroad throughout Spain, Italy, Germany and Ethiopia have given me the skills necessary to communicate and bond with local and foreign buyers.  Knowing I’m part of one of the most talented, technologically advanced brokerages out there, VIP Realty, and feeling the satisfaction of a job well done for every buyer and seller I serve has led to my success. During my spare time, I can be found spending time with my family and grandchildren. I strive to be the best version of ME so I can better serve you and my community.  I love to start my day with meditation and reflection before heading out for a workout at the gym. I don’t take life too seriously. I love to laugh and keep things light. Self-improvement is my hobby… If I can better understand myself, I can better understand you, and truly be helpful.  Let me help you find your place in the Sun!
