About Deborah

From Disney films
to dream homes.


Before real estate, I spent years working with Walt Disney and Touchstone Pictures on 12 feature films, including Sister Act, The Santa Clause, and 101 Dalmatians. That background taught me project management, deadline discipline, and how to negotiate under pressure.

Now I bring those same skills to every transaction in Imperial Beach. Since 2010, I have helped hundreds of buyers and sellers close successfully, with well over $250 million in total sales volume. I live here, I work here, and I know this market better than anyone.
