Deborah Vance is a full-time REALTOR® with Spirit Realty, serving Imperial Beach, Coronado, Chula Vista, Bonita, San Diego, and the greater South Bay. She knows that the purchase or sale of a property is one of the most significant financial decisions a person will make — and she is committed to guiding her clients through every step with expertise, integrity, and enthusiasm.
Deborah lived in Coronado from 2006 to 2016 before moving to Imperial Beach. In 2020, she purchased her dream home in the community she loves and can often be seen showing properties along Seacoast Drive in her custom golf cart — a fun reflection of her deep local presence and connection to the coastal lifestyle.
With more than 16 years of real estate experience, Deborah is known for her positive energy, exceptional work ethic, and commitment to delivering outstanding results. Her career began in a very different industry — she worked with Walt Disney and Touchstone Pictures on 12 feature films including Sister Act, The Santa Clause, 101 Dalmatians, and Cool Runnings.
