Debbie is a Seattle native and currently lives in the Green Lake neighborhood. She has lived and worked throughout the Greater Seattle area and has helped her clients buy and sell homes in a wide variety of locations, from the urban to the semi-rural.
Debbie came into the real estate profession after working in architecture, construction, and Seattle-area public and private education. With strong ties to these fields, she is able to add a broad service base to her real estate knowledge.
With an established referral list of architects, remodelers, contractors and handymen, she is able to help sellers navigate the process of getting a home ready for the market. And, she can help buyers who are improving their new homes.
When buyers shop for a new home, Debbie is able to discuss the pros and cons of architectural design – when does form sacrifice function? How do the different styles of homes affect the long-term investment potential or the ongoing maintenance of a home? If you are a family thinking about moving to the Seattle area from out of town, she can connect you with parents, teachers and administrators currently in the public school system, so you can quickly assess what your best choices might be.
Debbie is proud to be a member of the highly respected, independent real estate firm, Lake & Company Real Estate. Lake’s Golden Rule is to consider clients as a family, and this can be seen among the staff as well.
The Lake brokers see themselves as a team, rather than a group of individual competitors, and seek to help every broker succeed in meeting their clients’ objectives. This gives the client not only a committed individual but also an army of reinforcements! Carefully selecting a firm with this kind of philosophy – where the CLIENT IS CENTRAL, Debbie is committed to work hard, with the highest integrity for her clients.
In addition to her work background, Debbie has experience in property management, is a member of the Rental Housing Association of Puget Sound, has been named Best in Client Satisfaction in Seattle Magazine every year since 2009, earned a Bachelor of Arts degree, and has post-baccalaureate education.
Debbie made the difference in our ability to find a and win the house that we love. She made herself available throughout our search, was instrumental in providing insights relevant to the market, and delivered when it really mattered the most. As first-time home buyers Debbie provided us with critical education while also respecting our personal preferences and circumstances. We highly recommend Debbie as an agent!
Debbie helped us buy our house in Ravenna in 2011, and then sell it in spring of 2018. We recommend her to all of our friends. She is exceedingly patient, which is an important skill as a buyer negotiating Seattle real estate for the first time. She knows the market intimately, so when you're finally ready to buy she will put you in position to make a competitive offer. And when you're ready to sell, she knows all the right people and touches to make your house stand out of the crowd and ma...
Debbie is the absolute best real estate agent out there. My husband and I started looking for a house in the most desirable (ie, most difficult area to buy in) areas of Seattle at the end of summer 2017. We first used a different agent, who kept delegating us to his much less experienced partner. After losing 6 offers, we knew we had to change agents and that the crazy Seattle real estate market required the best and most experienced agent in order for us to win an offer. We were referred to Deb...
There still is a call for a full-service agent in this market, and Debbie is it. In fact ESPECIALLY in this market, you will need someone who will literally go the full distance and get your house sold ethically and for the best possible price and terms amidst all the insanity. She did it for us even in a less than ideal season and we felt fantastic at closing about the whole process and price. She is a top rated agent (Seattle Magazine 5 star) and it shows.
She likewise got us into our ...
Debbie was great. She really made the home buying process so easy. She's very easy to work with, and made my first purchase not so scary. She and Max were really there for me with any questions I had along the way
My husband and I have known Debbie for more than two decades and she has helped us buy and sell two houses, the latest earlier this year. Debbie understands the real estate business well, loves the city and is always willing to go the extra mile to make the right thing happen. When we returned to Seattle earlier this year, she set up scouting trips around Puget Sound so we could identify the right place to settle and eventually found us a home in our budget that had great bones and appraised fo...
Debbie helped me find and purchase my first home. She was highly recommended to me by two close friends and she exceeded my expectations based on those recommendations! I can't even begin to describe how helpful she was with the home buying process. I literally felt overwhelmed by everything, but she was patient with me and really made sure everything came together. I also can't say enough about how good she is about communicating. I always felt like I was in the loop and knew what was goin...
Debbie spent months in 2006 finding the perfect condo for us, she was the one who told us "Roosevelt is going to be big". 10 years later she was the agent who told us when the time was right, and got us the highest $ per SF in the building, even better than the top floor 2 bedroom units. Debbie handled the staging, photography, open houses (which are not easy with a condo) and got us 4 offers all over asking in 4 days. Debbie defines "trusted advisor" in a world with online everything and fl...
We can't say enough about our experience with Debbie as our buyer's agent. She was transparent, efficient, and patient with us as we discovered what we were looking for in a home. Her practical and timely moves got us our home, period. She knew exactly when to push on sellers and when to strategically cater to what they needed. On top of her professional prowess, Debbie is a delightful person to share this experience with and helped us laugh through the highs and lows of the process (of course, ...
I would highly recommend Debbie Jefferson as your Realtor. Debbie assisted me when I put my house up for sale in North Seattle during a slow time last summer and held multiple openings until it sold. She is a consummate professional and extremely knowledgeable when it comes to what was needed before and after the sale. Debbie recommended an amazing house cleaner, stager, and window cleaner that made my 1940’s house look better then ever (I was actually debating if I should sell). We also ran i...
It had been a while since I dipped my reticent toes in the Real Estate waters, and I cannot tell you how reassuring and calming it was to have Debbie Jefferson on my side. Not just because of her acumen, her ability to write the best possible offer, and her knowledge of the area but because I truly believed she saw me as a partner and not as a "sale." You will never be sorry if you choose Debbie Jefferson as your partner in your real estate adventure. Now dip those toes!
Debbie was wonderful to work with. For the first 14 months of our search, we were "just looking," but Debbie always made us feel like we were her only clients. We were from out of town, and Debbie was very good at getting us in to look at houses, even when there was only a short window of time when we were available, and giving us candid feedback about the houses we saw. It may seem like a minor point, but in all the hours we spent with Debbie, we were never tired of being with her. Most imp...
Debbie Jefferson was absolutely brilliant to work with. I came from overseas to find a home and she cleared her schedule to house hunt with me. She saw what type of homes I was looking for and was able to suggest homes I would like. She did not choose homes that were out of my price range nor homes that I would not be interested in.
After a family emergency I had to return home but kept in contact. We moved to the general area that we were looking for homes and again Debbie was absolutely gre...
We give Debbie Jefferson a “five star” or “A+” rating!
Debbie is extremely savvy and professional. We interviewed several highly recommended realtors, but Debbie stood out because of her calm, can-do attitude. She clearly and patiently explained the ins and outs of the Seattle market and – very importantly nowadays – how to forge an aggressive Purchase and Sales Agreement. With Debbie’s expert guidance we were able to make a very strong, genuine offer on our home. It turns out...
Debbie represented us when we bought our home in Seattle in 2007 and she represented us when we sold it in 2016. Debbie is a true professional in every sense of the word. She is both experienced and knowledgeable but more importantly she worked tirelessly in helping sell our home. Debbie looked out for our interests at every step of way and ensured we received maximum value while minimizing downside risk. My wife and I would recommend her to any seller or buyer in the Seattle area.
I cannot recommend Debbie highly enough. She helped me sell my condo in Seattle while I was living in North Carolina, a task that had me nervous from so far away. Debbie was wonderful and handled every detail, keeping me from having to fly out to do sale prep, and she communicated with me every step of the way to relieve my anxieties. When sale time came, she helped me price it strategically and then negotiate multiple offers until I had a fantastic price. I couldn't be happier. I only wish she ...
Debbie was recommended to me by a friend who described her as a highly knowledgeable, professional, personable and authentic agent. She proved herself to be all those things and more as she sold my condo and helped me buy my dream house. Her expertise garnered the highest selling price per square foot in the history of that condo building. She also secured my house for a reasonable price in a highly competitive market. In the year and a half since I bought my house, I've returned to Debbie f...
I can't recommend Debbie Jefferson highly enough! In my 40 years of extensive experience buying and selling homes, there is no one who comes close to the service/professionalism of Debbie Jefferson. First off, she had the best professional advise of anyone I've ever worked with, even in Manhattan, New York City! And she was with us every step of the way, taking care of every detail of preparing the property for sale, determining exactly what needed to be done, making sure all other parties invo...
