Complete History About Debbie
Debbie Ferrari, (www.DebbieFerrari.com) (yes, she IS distantly related to THAT Ferrari) was born in Upland, California, and was active in sports during her schooling there. Ten years after high school, in 1977, she entered real estate and began the six-day-a-week training that won her a Brown Belt in Kung Fu San Soo, the martial arts style Steven Segal uses.
Today, as a Prudential California Realty Broker-Associate, she exhibits that same tenacity in keeping her 1,000-page web site #1 among Realtors on Google and AOL in Orange County, CA, ahead of some 18,000 other county Realtors, for the past four years.
Proud of her Native California heritage, Debbie’s first few realty years were in the burgeoning San Bernardino, Upland, Palm Springs area. In 1983 she moved to the coastal city of San Clemente, working for a number of smaller agencies that were subsequently swallowed up by larger ones. Today, she’s a nationally known Prudential California Broker-Associate based in Orange County, specializing in higher end homes of the South County area, including San Clemente, Dana Point, Capistrano Beach, San Juan Capistrano, Laguna Niguel, Laguna Hills, Laguna Woods, Aliso Viejo and more.
Debbie has been deeply involved in 1031 Property Exchange since the 70’s and is Vice-President of the National Council of Exchangers. Debbie has been a Certified Equity Marketing Specialist (EMS) for many years, and one of the few equity professionals qualified to moderate 1031 property exchanges at official NCE meetings.
She also holds the rare RRS “Recreation and Resort Specialist” designation, bestowed by the Worldwide Recreation and Resort Sales Council. The RRS identifies a Realtor® qualified to serve consumers undertaking investments in vacation, recreation and resort properties, and second homes.
Starting in 1996, Debbie had one of the first Realtor web sites in the United States and was one of the early advertisers in nationally famous realty sites including www.IRED.COM, www.Reals.com, www.relibrary.com, www.RealEstateABC.com and dozens of others. As a result, the media discovered her and ever since she has enjoyed almost monthly exposure in national, regional and local print and online publications. In February, 2006, Fortune Magazine quoted her regarding the real estate bubble/non-bubble debate.
She holds the prestigious e-PRO designation from the National Association of Realtors and the e-Certification from Prudential California Realty. She is regarded as one of the leading Web Realtors in the country.
Her Google-ranked PR5 web site gets nearly 50,000 visitors a month, she has 10,000 consumer buyers actively listed in her private MLS search service, and sends out 2,800 emails a day to the ones who asked to receive new listings that match their search parameters. She gets 98% of her sales from web site leads and normally has about 20 transactions a year in a coastal area where the median home price is $800,000.
In December, 2006, she was named "Citizen of the Day/Week" in San Clemente, CA, (Pop. 70,000) by its newspaper, the Sun Post, and a large article about her appeared with her photo.

In May-June of 2003, AdvancedAccess.com asked its real estate agent customers to vote for the "Most Impressive Website" hosted by Advanced Access. Debbie's site won the number two spot, nationally.
In September 2002, Debbie was inducted into Allen F. Hainge’s CyberStars™ which is an elite group of leading real estate professionals from around the country. The CyberStars are an active referral group, sending buyers and sellers to other agents they know will handle the referral well, thus greatly benefiting consumers.
In June, 2002, Debbie was inducted into the Real Estate CyberSpace Society for the Internet-skilled. She also earned the prized Real Estate CyberSpace Specialist (RECS) Designation. Only a handful of real estate agents in Orange County have qualified for the designation which signifies an agent’s ability to serve clients online extremely well.
In April 2001, she was the second agent in the country to earn the coveted "Platinum Producer" award from BrokerAgentNews.com and Broker Agent Update.

Testimonials
Even before we visited South Orange County ourselves, we were able to view all the County’s MLS homes for sale through Debbie’s great web site at www.DebbieFerrari.com.
Besides data on homes, her site was packed with information about the school, civic, social, cultural, statistical, and demographic aspects of the area. When we finally did visit here to see homes ourselves, Debbie saved us considerable time by already being so completely plugged in to our specific parameters from our earlier email correspondences. She saved us both time and money, and we love our new home in the Talega section of San Clemente.

Linda Pitcher says, "Debbie showed us scores of homes, and during the entire process she relentlessly kept our best interests in mind until she found us our "dream home" when we moved here from Michigan. Subsequently, we had Debbie sell that house for us, and find us an even greater "dream home," with a 180-degree ocean view. We recommend Debbie to anyone moving to South Orange County, California.
Working with Debbie Ferrari to relocate in California has been enjoyable and the best decision we made. She is the ultimate professional!
Debbie has incredible energy and always willing to show you one more
house. She has an incredible network for you to contact a painter, a
carpet cleaner, a handy man, etc. Debbie is trustworthy and had our
best interest in mind at all times. If you want a real estate
professional who goes the extra mile and understands the customers
needs, contact Debbie Ferrari.

Debbie,
Thank you for all of your help this week. When Uline came to Johan three
weeks ago and told him they were sending us out for a one week to find
housing for our stay I did not think that was possible. We could not have
done it without you.
Thank You So Much,
Julie Johanson
