About Me

Providing expert and professional representation for buyers and sellers, I take a personalized approach to each client's needs. Representing first time homebuyers, move-up buyers and relocating buyers, I educate and provide resources to help a buyer fully understand their purchase. For sellers, I create a comprehensive marketing plan, stage the home, and spend a significant amount of time with the seller correctly pricing their property. In return, my clients' homes sell quickly and for a great price.

My legal background greatly enhances a client's experience with me. I use my skills to negotiate the contract, to protect my client and to keep the transaction moving smoothly through close of escrow. My clients are number one and I consistently earn the 100% Client Satisfaction award for the work I continually do to make sure my client's expectations are met and exceeded.

Testimonials

"Our experiences with Deborah have been nothing but positive, and happy. I would recommend Deborah to anyone who needs a realtor and I'm sure that you will be happy with Deborah's services." Helen Z. & Ping S.

"We have moved many times, and I must say Deborah is the best agent we have ever worked with. She communicated well, she was on time, she has a great sense of humor (which helps lower the stress), and she followed up on everything we asked. It was truly a pleasure working with her." Kevin & Sharon W.

"Yes! I agree! Not pushy at all, VERY helpful and knowledgeable about the market and areas. She introduced us to the neighborhood where we just bought our house (we didn't really know this little niche area existed!). I'd definitely recommend her. Without a doubt." Michelle & Michael S.

"We just closed escrow on a fantastic condominium downtown and are elated with the purchase. What made the purchase a pleasurable experience, however, was the diligent and courteous efforts of your agent, Ms. Deborah Engel. Ms. Engel actually helped us find two condominiums, as the first fell out of escrow due to the seller's intransigencies. She never gave up and kept our spirits up and eventually found us a better one. Deborah negotiated and fought for our interests assuring that we did not had to go into a bidding game with other prospective purchasers. She handled the process marvelously. On behalf of my family, I wanted to let you know how pleased we are with Ms. Engel's professionalism and excellent service. " Roberto, Mauricia & Bea S.

"In all, Deb was a great realtor, and I highly recommend her to sell your home. I hope you decide to go with her -- you won't be sorry!" Jared Y. & Elaine T.

"We both will recommend you to anyone who ever needs real estate advice or assistance! You took something that could have been an absolute nightmare, and turned in into one of the most rewarding experiences of our lives!" Annie & Richard W.
