★★★★★                                                                                                                "We met Debbie at an open house in November when we were in our very early stages of searching for a home. As a couple hoping to be first time homeowners, we had never worked with an agent before and are lucky to have met Debbie. She is very proactive and respectful of our decisions and thoughts. Over the next 5 months Debbie helped guide us through the process of looking for a home and demonstrated that she is knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. Although we experienced several unexpected difficulties in this process, Debbie connected us with other individuals to help close our deal in a very short turnaround once we actually found a home that we wanted to put an offer on. Through her hard work, we managed to obtain the keys to our new home and move in even sooner than expected.."

"My wife and I have been looking for a home for over a year. Throughout this process we have considered numerous homes and made numerous offers. At all times Debbie was thoroughly professional, and extremely patient and supportive. Despite set backs Debbie was encouraging and worked diligently to help us locate a home that met all our needs. We were ultimately successful in purchasing the perfect home. We could not have done this without Debbie's assistance.

"Debbie was a constant professional in helping us sell our home and always made sure our property was her first priority. Our property was different than most listings as it included two single dwelling homes on 8 acres with outbuildings, pasture land and was adjacent to a county park. Debbie did research on numerous websites for us to list our property to include local markets, Bay Area markets, equestrian markets, along with listing it nationwide as the "Property of the Month" for Better Homes & Gardens. Debbie was with us all the way from the first walk-thru, to staging the homes and deciding on the right asking price. She was always checking on the local market for comps and other sales for us to do comparisons. She made sure that all our inspections happened in a timely manner and she was always present for any questions that the inspectors may have had. Debbie worked constantly with other realtors in the area to make sure they always had the latest information on the property for any potential clients. I would highly recommend Debbie Stone to anyone wishing to sell their home to the right buyer!"

★★★★★
"Debbie is the complete package! She was my realtor, consultant and confidant throughout the entire process. My family was so pleased with her expertise, efficiency and professionalism that we sold our home and bought another with Debbie. She walked us through the entire process - from inspectors to stagers to loan officers. Debbie made something impossible so predictable and easy going. Debbie was so kind to cope with all my anxiety about the whole thing. I would refer her to anyone! She is quite familiar with the Bay Area and Tri-Valley. She fully understands the market there and was able to sell our home significantly over our asking price. As for our new home, she understood our needs and was able to secure a home for us within our means and with all of the features we were requesting. Excellent negotiation skills! Debbie understands how to network with others in the area to make both selling and buying straight forward. Debbie knows all the vendors and realtors in the area and uses that to her client’s advantage. Furthermore, Debbie basically organizes and does most of the work for you - making it so that I can go to work with a peace of mind."

"Debbie gave excellent advice from the onset of our decision to sell our condominium. She followed through every step of the way and diligently took care of all aspects to make the process painless and trouble-free!"

"Background: my family bought our second home with help from Debbie. We are in a super competitive market where a normal house usually facing 10+ offers and sold 10%+ above listing price. In our 5 months house hunting process we visited home ranging from $800k+ to $3m. We visited probably ~30 houses, sent ~10 offers, made it into final round ~4 times, and succeed once. We are super happy with the result, and fully aware that we cannot make it without having Debbie in the team, the following are reasons: 1) Communication. My communication with Debbie are super smooth, mainly thank you to her 24*7 support in email/txt/phone. I always received frequent update regarding the property you interested, as well as prompt replies to any of questions we have. 2) Network. Debbie connect me with wonderful lender which not only allow me to borrow $2m ~ish loan and close that in 3 weeks. Debbie also have partners in local market that allow me access inventory that prior open to general public (and I almost get that one ??) 3) Patience. House hunting in today's hot market is non trivial. For my family, it takes half a year. Debbie is able to stay focused, and help my family stay focused as well, in this long oddessy. This is reflected in multiple spectrum, for example, due to pandemic there are max 2 visitor in the house, but we are a family of four with two preteen kids. Debbie is so kind that she always show the home to me and wife first, and then redo that for our kids. On the other hand, she understand that we knows what is best for us so that never push us into bidding war,and always ask us to put what we believe suitable $$$ in case we proceed with the offer. 4) Details matter. Debbie is very cautious on all aspect of transaction, and looked into every details. For example, reviewing titles and explain uncommon things like easement to us; Always confirm with lender in case there are any change in finance terms; ask us to visit the house a second time for more info before making an offer;etc. 5) Knowledge. Debbie has been devoted to local tri-valley market for decades, and have tons of knowledge on it. For example, she knows precise difference between top high schools; pros and cons of sub communities; who are the trusted gardener; Where to buy delicious ice cream ?? 6) Dog lover. We the human both met each other's puppy already, but the puppies has not meet each other yet. Cannot wait to see Logan and Charlotte play together! To conclude, our family feel tremendously luck to meet Debbie, as the first and last agent, in our house hunting. It is essential to have her in our team to secure my family's satisfying conclusion of this prolonged process. It is no brainer for me to recommend her to anybody that ever have needs in tri-valley real estate market."

"Debbie was a huge help with my brother's rental home sale. This was an estate and I was in CA but out of area. Her deep knowledge of the local market was so helpful. She was extremely responsive and regularly touched base during the whole process. She managed the contractors, clean-up, and marketing seamlessly making it a stress free process. I would highly recommend Debbie Stone to other prospective buyers or sellers."

★★★★★
"I recently bought a new home and had Debbie Stone represent me as my realtor. I couldn’t be happier. She is intelligent, dedicated, knowledgeable, and her work ethic is unparalleled. I put a deposit down on a new build and she worked tirelessly for months in a quickly changing market, implementing strategies that were often one or more steps ahead of anyone else involved in the transaction. She was always available when I had questions or needs. With Debbie by my side, the best possible outcome was achieved. Bottom line is she is everything you would want as a realtor on your side. I would not hesitate to have Debbie represent me again as a buyer or seller if I ever need it!."

About Debbie
Patient, professional, hardworking, efficient –– every agent touts these qualities when
hoping for your business. There’s no mystery there; real estate can be a complicated
and stressful process, and you absolutely need a guide who is diligent, resourceful, and
100% committed to your goals. But other qualities that fly under the radar because they
are less visible: sheer drive and generosity of spirit.

Confession: I’m uber-energetic! Biker, hiker, swimmer, golfer, skier and yogi, I arrived here from the Midwest years ago and have been completely in love with the Bay Area. Though I’m up early most days to exercise, my drive really kicks in when I’m at work. I go after things. When it’s a home purchase or sale, I’m the most dedicated collaborator you’ll ever find. Matching my enormous drive to succeed is my enthusiasm and curiosity for people. I’m a natural connector, always introducing friends to friends and colleagues to opportunities. Fortunately, my real estate practice lets me make connections that change lives for the better. What a pleasure to use my gift to your advantage, ensuring that every resource and referral optimizes your transaction.

Ambition and excellence aren’t new to me. Over 30+ years in the luxury resort industry,
I honed my skills as a marketing and sales leader with both Pebble Beach Resorts and
Hyatt Hotels & Resorts. I provided outstanding service to my clients who became
lifelong valued friends. Today, working with buyers and sellers, I use everything from
project management to negotiation, market analysis to advertising and promotion. But
there’s a significant difference: at the end of our collaboration, I hand you the keys to
your home!

Working together, we are true partners in the transaction. Respecting your input,
humbled by your trust, I dedicate myself to surpassing expectations. As a driven
achiever who loves to share my expertise, I can’t wait to help you reach your goals.
When not inking a deal, you’ll find me on my Peloton bike, cycling the hills of the East
Bay, or training for my bucket list hike on the Camino de Santiago. On more relaxed
days, I’ll walk Logan, our Bernese Mountain Dog, work with my husband Dave on our
1930 French Normandy Tudor or bake cookies for my favorite furry and/or human friends.

Give me a call to explore how we can work together!
