She later graduated from Tufts University in Medford, MA with a triple major in French, Child Study and Education.  She moved to the Northern Virginia area in 1973 and taught elementary school for four years.Since 1975, Deborah has specialized in selling Northern Virginia homes, land and small commercial properties.

She is especially adept in assisting buyers who are relocating  from outside the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area and has earned a Relocation Specialist designation. With a passion for historic properties and architecture, Deborah has also briefly studied with, and has become a member of National Trust for Historic Preservation. Enjoying architectural tours during domestic and international travels is one of Debbie’s favorite things to do! Recently, Deborah has obtained National Association of Realtors Resort and Second Home Specialist (RSS), Certified International Property Specialist (CIPS), and Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES) Designations in order to assist her clientele who may wish to ease into retirement or just have a second residence away from the hustle and bustle of every day life. Conducting downsizing seminars for clients has been an additional area of concentration.

To stay in shape, Debbie enjoys walking, jogging or biking through the pretty Northern Virginia towns  and countryside. Deborah lives in McLean, Virginia with her husband, William.
