Debbie Elowson

"In this competitive Bay Area market, timing and understanding of the neighborhood and comps are everything. You need a real estate agent who is extremely detailed-oriented and has a well-coordinated team of people to help execute on the sale. Debbie is THAT real estate agent. She is dedicated and knows how to make a competitive offer. Throughout the home-buying process, she provided us with straightforward advice and took the time to thoroughly answer our questions While we knew Debbie has multiple clients, we always felt like we were her only clients. That's the type of attention Debbie provides, no matter the buyer's budget.”- Meg R.

"She listened to all my needs and concerns. Debbie went above and beyond her normal line of service as a realtor. She even shopped for lighting for me! Debbie has an amazing attention to detail. She has integrity, is highly respected among her peers and is very professional. You can trust and depend on Debbie." -Jeanette H.

"Because of Debbie's network, we were able to know lots of the listings in advance and preview them in advance. As first-time buyers, we had tons of questions. But Debbie has always been there to answer our questions patiently and efficiently.” - Yige L.

"There are realtors, and then there are realtors... Debbie Elowson was, from the moment we connected, amazing. She is thorough, available, and understands the market. She has a team of people that will get your house ready, on the market and sold in record time! I recommend Deb to all my clients who are thinking of buying or selling a house. I wouldn't trust anyone else." -Trish N.

"Her honest and direct approach to the market assures efficiencies in your search and sets realistic expectations for the process.” -Melissa W.

"If you want a high-caliber, knowledgeable and trustworthy individual to be your advocate for your real estate needs, Debbie Elowson is your person! She stands out from the crowd because she not only is an expert in her field, but she is a person of great integrity who genuinely cares about the people with whom she works. Debbie has repeatedly exhibited to us her dedication and steadfast commitment to get the job done well, efficiently and with aplomb, going above and beyond to understand her clients’ needs, developing key strategies and following through." -Joanne and Wally H.

"Debbie collaboratively discussed with us what fixes would be beneficial to the sale price for our home, and what fixes were not beneficial. When Debbie was unsure, she would reach out to her network of experts — such as asking a landscaper to come and assess if working on our backyard was a wise way to spend our money — in this case the answer was a very valuable no. Debbie also persuades with facts — such as the value of staging the home, statistics to determine a listing price, and the timing of the sale. Because of Debbie's expertise, we sold our home for considerably more than we had expected." -Shirin F and Steven G.

"I have been both a buyer and a seller many times over, but I have never had an agent represent me and my needs as thoroughly as Debbie. She works tirelessly to make sure all of the bases are covered in every step along the way. Her list of contacts in the industry is enormous, from other agents to contractors and stagers. This is in addition to her kind personality and ease of accessibility. I would never consider using another agent in the future. Debbie, quite simply, should be the mold upon which other agents are created." -Geoffrey P.

"Debbie Elowson is a model broker. Every facet of the sale of our mother's house was handled with skill, expertise, and care: the organization of repairs, the preparation of staging, the mechanics of the sale itself. My brother and I wondered when--and if!--Debbie sleeps. But there is a crucial extra element of Debbie's talents: compassion. Debbie never forgot that there was an emotional component to the sale of this house, which belonged to our mother when she died. I cannot recommend Debbie more highly, and she will be our broker for any future property sales." -Peter Godfrey P.

"I recently sold my San Francisco home with Debbie Elowson as my real estate agent, and the experience was outstanding! She demonstrated an exceptional understanding of the local market, providing strategic pricing insights that proved invaluable to us. Communication was seamless throughout the process. Debbie was always on time, transparent, and kept me informed at every step which fostered a strong sense of trust. Her attention to detail in staging and presentation showcased my home effectively, resulting in quick buyer interest! During negotiations, she advocated for my interests while maintaining a professional demeanor — closing day was stress-free, thanks to her meticulous coordination. Debbie is a standout real estate professional. Her market expertise, communication skills, attention to detail, and commitment to client satisfaction made for a smooth and successful home sale." -Juliann K.

"I literally can’t say enough good things about Debbie personally and professionally. She’s a woman of her word and one of the hardest working people I know. She helped us sell our first starter home in Daly City and has a whole team that helped prepare our house to be sold. They did an amazing job at that! She negotiated an amazing price for it as well. She kept her promise in finding us our dream home in Millbrae. If it wasn’t for her ambition and being proactive, we would’ve never landed it. She walked us through all of the confusing paperwork and was meticulous about all the details. She’s always responsive in a timely fashion and makes herself available no matter where she is. She’s honest and knowledgeable with so many years of experience under her belt. My kids love her especially because she always comes prepared for them. She truly made us feel safe and confident in making some of the most major decisions of our lives thus far. I would recommend Debbie to anyone thinking about buying or selling their home because she will not disappoint." -Scott and Pam H.

"We had a wonderful experience working with Debbie to find our San Mateo Park home. She is a truly kind and passionate person. She always took the time to listen to our desires/ needs and prioritized us during our search for our home. She always communicated and responded in a timely and professional manner. With so many years of experience , she had great insight in the Peninsula area. She quickly helped us weed out houses and highlighted homes that she saw as great value. She also took the time to see properties of interest within usually a day to provide her personal opinions. Would highly recommend Debbie as your future real estate agent." -Khiem T.

"I listed my Burlingame home of 15 years with Debbie Elowson and it sold $100k over asking in 11 days. It was the number I wanted and we got it because she helped me make it a show house! She listened to all my needs and concerns. Debbie went above and beyond her normal line of service as a realtor. She even shopped for lighting for me! Debbie has an amazing attention to detail. She has integrity, is highly respected among her peers and is very professional. You can trust and depend on Debbie. She is highly capable and has high level relationships. I would recommend Debbie to anyone who is seeking a top-notch realtor to sell or find the home of their dreams." -Jeannette H.

"Deborah is a wonderful realtor. She managed every single aspect of the sale of my mother's beloved Foster City home. Here's what you can expect if you hire Deborah to sell your home: She has a first-class team of professionals who will work with her in getting your home into the best possible condition for the market which will greatly improve your chances of getting top dollar! Her brilliant team includes a licensed contractor for repairs and upgrades, a talented home stager who selected paint colors, hardware, lighting, etc., a professional photographer who took amazing pictures for all of the top-notch marketing materials and virtual tour, and a dynamite team at the title company who was always there to answer questions. I turned over everything to Deborah and her team and I never had to lift a finger or worry or stress over anything. She is a terrific realtor, but also a very kind and caring person who was a pleasure to work with. The bottom line is this: I was thrilled with the upgrades made to the property, I was thrilled with the service Deborah and her team provided and I was thrilled with the sales price! Selling a home isn't easy, but Deborah sure made it look that way. If you're looking for the right realtor - call Deborah!" -Karen M.

"Debbie was amazing to work with! I live three hours away from the Emerald Hills home I was selling and Debbie made the entire process stress free for me. She went above and beyond what I would expect from an agent and got me an amazing offer after 15 days of working with her. She stayed on top of everything and informed me every step of the way. Everything was extremely professional and easy to follow. Thank you Debbie for helping me so much!" -Melissa R.

"When I think of Debbie the one word that always comes to mind is integrity. I have known Debbie for over 13 years. When my father passed, Debbie helped us with the sale of our family home in the very tight 2008 market. Since that time she has helped family members with the sales of 3 homes and the purchase of my first home. Recently I asked Debbie to advise me on the potential sale of my San Mateo home of 12 years. I am planning to retire in the next few years and wanted to liquidate my assets to position myself. I can't say the idea of leaving a beloved home was easy for me. Debbie understood me well and allowed me the emotional space I needed, as well as some reality checks. She worked with me and provided spot on advice for preparing my home for sale. The Compass Concierge program was a huge benefit. It allowed me to do the needed improvements without having to pull cash out of savings or struggle with the cost. I listed my home and was in escrow in six days with nine offers all over asking; my home set a new record for comparable homes. Debbie is always available, responsive, and addresses any concerns. Debbie has a kind and soft demeanor, she is a good listener, but is definitely no pushover. A consummate professional, she knows her trade very well. I highly recommend Debbie, she never over promises, but always delivers!!" -Debra G.

"Debbie is a wonderful, kind and down to earth kind of person. She is trustworthy and professional and we would 100% recommend her to all our good friends. We were so fortunate to meet and work with Debbie when we purchased our San Mateo home eight years ago and we could not have had a better experience or received better advice and professional help from her selling it this year. She was there for us throughout the entire process assisting with anything and everything you can think of; straight-forward expert advice, coordination and timely follow ups with numerous contractors, managing all the communications with other agents and coordinating with our friends and neighbors. She kept us up to date and in the loop at all times, from day one through closing. We communicated via phone calls, emails, texts, pictures, you name it (we were already out of state when she started preparing for the listing/selling the property). She had realistic expectations and a good sense of humor and she made sure our home was ready to go on listing day as if it was her own home. We can't say enough wonderful things about Debbie." -Mona and David W.

"We had an excellent experience working with Debbie to purchase our Burlingame home. What makes Debbie stand out from other agents is that she has a tremendous level of experience and knowledge of the Bay Area / Peninsula RE market, which allowed our family to land our dream home. She really got to know us and what we were looking for, and then worked very quickly and thoroughly once we saw the perfect home, so that we didn't miss the opportunity when it came along. She also weeded out many homes that were not right over the course of a year, in many cases visiting the homes for us, as we were living a bit far away. We highly recommend Debbie and her team!" -Bettina and Gonzalo I.

"Debbie is an exceptional realtor who goes above and beyond for her clients in every way imaginable. This was evident from the initiation of our engagement and through to when she helped me and my family close on our dream home. I interviewed a couple of other realtors before choosing her; she was easily my top choice based on her responsiveness, thoughtful approach, and attention to detail (which cannot be undervalued in this field!). As we searched for a property together, my positive perception of her was further validated based on her customized approach to what my family and I wanted, her generosity with her time and attention, and my general comfort level bringing anything and everything to her when it came to my questions and concerns about home-buying. Specific examples of how she went above and beyond include a continued relationship and follow-up even after we closed on our home, her sweet toy gifts to our toddler to occupy him when he was visiting houses with us, and other stakeholders in the buying process complimenting how my realtor was "top-drawer." Save yourself the research hassle that I went through to find a great realtor and simply go with Debbie; you will not be disappointed." -Susanna S.

"Debbie was a wonderful agent for our family when we were looking to buy our first single family home. She came highly recommended from a friend who had brought both their first and second homes with her already. Debbie was tactful yet honest, very knowledgeable about specific neighborhoods and who we would competing against when making an offer, very meticulous with disclosures and has a great network of people she willingly turns to for a second opinion on tricky things like renovating estimates, tree roots growing too close to foundation, termite reports, etc. When it came time to submit an offer, she helped our family beat an all-cash offer and we are now living in our dream home. Work with Debbie, you won't regret it!" -Anni C. & David L.
