We had been lost for quite a while in the quagmire of deciding what should be done to prepare our home to sell. Knowing that we could have found someone for less, we decided to hire Deb after some research. She got us focused on what matters and looking into things we hadn't really thought about. The result was a rapid sale for more than we listed the house for. We encountered some obstacles along the way, giving her the opportunity to show us her resourcefulness and professionalism. Sometimes you really get what you paid for and maybe more!

Deb did a great job getting our house sold fast and at a price we could live with. Her staff, including Gloria were always available and helpful. I would utilize their services again if needed.

After having bought and sold several properties in the past few years I have to say that it has been a very refreshing and positive experience dealing with Deb Espinoza and her associates. Deb not only guided us through the items requiring repair and refurbishment on our house before it was put on the market, but she took a personal interest in our satisfaction with the process. Debs impressive presentation of the house led to a full price offer only five days after the house was listed. the buyer asked for a 30 day escrow which we were able to achieve with Debs help. She has our complete trust and confidence. Thanks for all your help Deb

We had a wonderful experience working with Deb from beginning to end. She was very responsive, proactive, understanding, wise, easily accessible, and extremely knowledgable of the real estate industry and how it works best today and of Ramona in its entirety. We were moving from another city to Ramona and had to find a new home within days. Deb set up the perfect viewings based on what we were looking for and was very efficient in getting our offer made and accepted by the end of the first day without any pressure. She guided us through the steps of buying our unique home without us ever feeling like she wanted the sale. She's not like that at all. It was apparent from the start that Deb only wanted what was in our best interest and nothing else. We have been living in our new home for four months now and have no regrets. We consider Deb a friend and are so grateful of how instrumental she was in finding our new home!

Deb was recommended to me by my family and friends. I knew I could trust her because everyone I knew had used her and had great experiences with her. She really helped me out in the process and buying a new home. I couldn't have gotten into the place I am now without her help. She really helped me in ways that I know others would not help me. I know that in the future I will continue to use her.

Deb came highly recommended by a local friend when it came time to sell my house and purchase a new home in the San Diego Country Estates. After my first meeting with Deb, it was very clear why Deb has such a great reputation! The entire team at Stage Presence Homes made the buying and selling process as easy and stress free as possible. They take care of EVERYTHING, I mean everything! No stressing about being present for appointments, repairs or inspections. Her team has it covered. Deb has the experience to know how to handle every situation that can come up and I would have been lost without her. The home I was selling was a challenging one. It was a fixer upper and I was urgently trying to sell since I have a baby on the way. We had a buyer back out of the sale (for personal reasons out of our control) a week prior to closing escrow. Deb had the house back on the market the same day and multiple offers in within 2 days to get us back on track! She is a life saver and really went above and beyond to ensure my house was sold timely and I got into my new home without issue. Please do yourself a favor and hire her today for any of your real estate needs.

Our family had the opportunity to move out of state due to a job change. We needed to sell our home fast. There are a lot of Realtors in Ramona and honestly we only needed to talk to one. I had seen Deb’s ads and heard nothing but great things about her and what a great Realtor she was. I knew that she was the right Realtor for us. Deb came out to the house and REALLY LISTENED to what we needed and wanted. She discussed what we should do to get our home ready to sell. Honestly, she had great points and after we did what she suggested our home looked 100% better and inviting. Deb was very patient with me through the process and handled all of my calls and texts with grace, even when I was frantic. Deb is truly a professional and does exactly what she promises. She went above and beyond for us! Deb never faltered. Even though there were a few bumps in the road, Deb sold our home and we are very happy! I would recommend Deb to anyone looking to sell their home, she keeps her promises, goes above and beyond and gets the job done!

As a first time home buyer I really didn’t know what to expect. I had heard stories about how hard it is to buy a house and how the whole process can be very daunting. That was not my experience at all. Luckily for us we found a house we liked when we really weren’t even looking for one. Deb and her team were amazing! They walked us through every step of the process and made everything so easy. If I did have a question it was answered right away. My experience was so good that I’m not sure what other people are talking about when they say buying a house is tough. Deb and her team are the best! I never wondered what was going on during the process because I was kept informed before I ever even had to ask. Honestly this was one of the easiest things I’ve done. Buying a car was harder than this. Thanks to Deb and her team my family is now living in a beautiful house that we love! I can’t thank Deb enough for the great job she did in securing us a home and really helping turn a dream we had into a reality!

We interviewed 5 realtors in the area and Deb was clearly our choice. She and her team scheduled and met with roofers, painters, cleaners etc. to get our home ready for sale. Deb and her team had a open house the day after we listed and we received multiple offers that first weekend. They professionally handled the escrow process from the offers to closing, seamlessly. She would be our first choice to use again to buy or sell a home. Thanks Deb

I live in the Bay area, and was concerned about the task of selling a house in San Diego Country Estates and not being present during the process. And then along came Deb and completely took charge and managed the many details that were beyond my ability to deal with from a distance. I highly recommend Deb.

Kinda like going to your doctor, you really don't want to change unless you absolutely have to...that's what the experience is with Deb Espinoza. This is a one-of-a-kind experience where you are the *One* and she is the *Kind*. Deb helped me buy my first house. I didn't realize how difficult it would be to buy a house - the difficulty being getting an offer in on a home that wasn't already in escrow or already had a cash offer from investors. But Deb and I were persistent. I really enjoyed getting the customized emails from her that had my house requirements : 3 bedroom, 2 bath, and in the price range and area I wanted. My financing experience was also top notch. I wouldn't go to anyone else unless I absolutely had to. She's my go-to realtor forever! Love you, Deb! Linda

There are not words to describe how great Deb Espinoza is! I have sold many properties in my lifetime and never have I had such a wonderful experience as with Deb. She has deep knowledge of the entire San Diego County Real Estate Market. The house she helped me sell in Vista was in need of so much repair I could never have sold it on my own. She hooked me up with a Contractor who did the needed repairs on my house, and the result was that 4 different buyers wanted my house immediately! She is completely accessible, returns phone calls right away, and always lets you know exactly what is happening at all times. I would highly recommend her for all your real estate needs!

Deb was available to me and the property for months before the home was listed . . . all without a contract . . . consulting about the extensive interior and exterior remodeling. She was always available by telephone and receptive to me early morning calls. Once we were under contract, her office stepped up and really helped expedite the process. Her pricing was right on. The house went under contract in a matter of days. She personally met with the appraiser for the lender to underscore support for the price as there were little or no comparable sales for this property. Go Deb and Gloria for a job well done.

Deb and her team were absolutely amazing. Seriously; this is the first time I have actually believed that my agent was on our side from the get go. I hate the buying experience, I hate searching, I hate negotiating... BUT; within the first few hours spending some time with Deb I felt totally comfortable giving her the reins to make the calls on my behalf. Start to Finish, this is the FIRST time buying a home was actually NOT what I had to spend every waking minute trying to manage. You're awesome Deb and everyone in your office was spectacular! Our dream of moving to Ramona..... Check that off the list!

YOU SHOULD CALL DEBBIE ESPINOZA- there is a reason that she has all 5 star ratings! Deb is an AMAZING broker. She made me feel as if I were the only client that she had and I am not the easiest person to work with as I was super anxious about finding and getting into our new home. There was never a moment that I couldn't reach her, and no question seemed to be insignificant to her. I am clear that I would recommend her again and again for anyone who was buying a home. THANK YOU Deb for your crazy level of support and professionalism.

Our home was listed with another realator for one year and not one offer was presented. Within five days of listing with Deb, we were presented with three offers. Our home is now sold! Deb identified some minor improvements that were necessary and served as a project manager to make sure the improvements were completed in a timely manner. Her attention to every detail was amazing and her communication throughout our listing exceeded my expectations. I have worked with many realators in multiple states and I have to say Deb is the best by far! I would recommend her without reservation.

Deb was a referral from friends of mine, who highly recommended her. I chose her because of that and the fact that she is very familiar with my neighborhood and is located close by. She was very responsive to my questions and needs concerning the sell/buy process. I have already recommended her to an acquaintance.

I have bought and sold many homes throughout my life and have never experienced such a professional, objective and successful selling experience. Deb was very straight forward and honest in providing us guidance on what we needed to do to present our home in the best light. She was also very responsive to any concerns we had along the way. She also took the time to share with us in reviewing other properties in our neighborhood in the same price range. Thereby allowing us to price the house accordingly . . . in the sweet spot. Bottom line, the house sold in one week. We are very pleased. We would absolutely do business with Deb Espinoza again and we highly recommend her to all of our friends.

I have worked with Deb on both a personal and professional level, as mortgage loan officer I have the opportunity to meet lots of real estate agents. Deb is the 1st on my list and is who I used when I bought my home, she is also who I refer to my family and friends. Honesty and Integrity define who she is, she is a true professional who cares about her clients. Beyond her ethics, her knowledge of real estate is vast and her experience in the industry is an invaluable asset to all. If you are in the market to buy or sell your home, you need to talk to Deb. Happy House Hunting!

We found Deb on the internet after our sales transaction on our home fell apart with another agent. Our choice was confirmed when a friend told us how Deb had helped another friend get an offer on their home within the first week of listing; she said she didn't even recognize the home in the pictures after Deb helped stage it and her professional photographer shot the photos. Deb put us at ease right when we first spoke with her. She explained the current local market and how the old listing price was inaccurate based on using wrong comparable properties by the 'down the hill' agent that was referred to us. Deb went above and beyond with assisting us in getting the house ready again to be listed. She found someone to clean up the yard and she fixed up little items in the house that we couldn't do because I am in Texas. Deb helped with things like cleaning up the inside, patching holes, removing an old antenna from the roof, changing light bulbs, and a light home staging before the photos were taken- she did everything necessary to get our home to show in its best light. Deb priced our home using a range and explained why and how this works with a home in an AS-IS sale condition such as ours. Within a few weeks we had a couple good offers, proving that Deb used the correct pricing comparable properties. Deb checked the offers out thoroughly and advised us on how to respond with a counter offer to end up with the right buyer. Since the offer was a VA offer Deb knew what we needed to respond with so that we could take care of a couple of items that she knew VA would not accept in their appraisal on our house. Deb researched costs on repairs and we were able to counter giving us the needed funds to make the repairs VA would require and still get our price. Within 60 days of listing our house was SOLD and we no longer had to make payments on an empty house! The whole transaction was smooth, and Deb and her assistant Gloria kept constant contact with us, they coordinated everything from inspections to repairs. Being in a different time zone I could call or email Deb at all times during the day and she always got back to me promptly. We can't thank Deb enough for all she did for us! Over the years we have bought and sold a number of properties using the services of several real estate agents. We can honestly say that Deb and her assistant were, without question, THE BEST real estate professionals we have ever used! If you are thinking about buying or selling a property, pick Deb, then sit back and relax..........she will get it done! Gary & Lynne Hunter St. Ramona

Deb helped us get the home that we wanted. There was a stiff competition at that time when we were still looking. We placed bids on few houses and lost to those who has the "CASH". Deb made it all possible to get on top of her game talking to the agent on the other-side. We really love our new home and so proud to call it our own. THANK YOU DEBBIE!

I met Deb early on in my process of buying a home and she helped me for 2 years before I was ready and able to buy. She put me on a list of daily updated that met the requirements I had wanted and all along devoted time and energy to my questions while I learned the process and was finally able to commit to buying. At that time the process rapidly sped up of looking at homes and finally she helped me find just the right one. Even when I thought the deal was a good one she even pushed for things I was not aware of. I don't know what buyers remorse is because I was so well educated by Deb by the end and wound up with more than I could have expected. The process was sometimes scary as a first time buyer but she made it so much fun that I feel like I have a friend as well by the end of this process. Deb gets the highest rating from me across the board! I'm a home owner ! Woohoo! Thanks so much Deb. It was fun.

I have relied on her experience and expertise, and trust her to advocate on our behalf.

My husband and I are very impressed and thank for everything Deb hads done for us from the very beginning and even after closing on our house, without her I don't think we would have gotten the house! I am out of state finishing up a degree and my husband is military and stationed in Africa, so it was a little difficult finding the perfect house, seeing and making everything workout, but Deb did it and so much more. There were several bumps in the road, due to the seller, but Deb worked relentlessly to make sure we were able to get the house. She went above and beyond on so much for us. She basically held our hand through the entire home buying process and even after we bought the house she still checks to see how we are doing. I would highly recommend Deb to anyone looking to purchase a home.

Debbie is an amazing real estate agent, she not only helped us in closing the deal she was very efficient with her responses and follow up with all parties involved. She also asked about how everything is going after the house was closed. After the initial walk through of the home, Debbie gave us advice that was identical to that of the inspector she has very sharp eyes and has very good attention to detail. She made the experience enjoyable rather than devastating although we were working with very strict requests for the disposition of the home. I would definitely recommend Debbie for anyone that is interested in purchasing a home, she is phenomenal and i sure hope in the future if i were to decide to purchase another home she will still be in the business.
