–        Before joining EXIT Realty of Albuquerque, I worked for over 20 years as a social worker and 10 years as a Holistic Health Educator. I am an EcoBrokerTM  because the philosophy aligns so closely with my own. A home is a holistic system; a mini ecosystem for its residents. Interest in environmental issues and energy efficiency continues to grow and become more important every day. This training adds value for my clients by enabling me to promote features that might otherwise be ignored or misunderstood while helping them find the home of their dreams.

I believe that

•      Small is beautiful---and it uses less resources
•      The "greenest" house is the one that is already built
•      Every existing house can be made more energy efficient usually at far less cost inboth money and embodied energy than new construction
•     Affordable and inexpensive changes can reap big energy savings     
•     Everyone deserves a safe, affordable home, be it ever so humble
•     Mature neighborhoods can be revitalized without becoming gentrified
•    People with many kinds of disabilities are capable of living independently in their own homes with some modifications and assistance

I am also an inveterate reader. Books can be a source of information, inspiration, solance, growth and challenge. They can expand both our minds and our horizons.

I specialize in residential resale in the Albuquerque metropolitan area, specifically in mature neighborhoods with older, smaller houses. I also specialize in working with first time homebuyers and families with disabled or elderly members who may be financially challenged and are often attracted to these neighborhoods because of their convenience, established ammenities and lower prices.

I am a certified EcoBrokertm because the philosopy aligns so closely with my own. A home is a holistic system, a mini ecosystem for its residents. The EcoBrokertm certification is an education and designation program for real estate professionals and affiliates who care about the environment and want to promote "green" features in homes and buildings. This training adds value for my clients by enabling me to better promote and recognize energy efficient and sustainable features while assisting them to buy or sell their homes. I also hold the e-Pro, TRC, and ABR desinations from NAR.

"Deb,

  You were direct and honest with us. We always felt that you had our best interest in mind. You listened to our concerns about siting and explained the things we needed to consider. We can hardly wait to build on the land you helped us purchase"

You really listened to what I wanted and did not show me things I would not like just because they were available and in my price range. You really did keep my needs formost and help me find the perfect place.
