Years of Experience + Personalized Service + Today's Technology = Proven Positive Results for Both Buyers & Sellers

____________________________________________

My goal as a real estate professional is to offer caring, personalized service and exceptional results. Whether it's buying or selling a home in Santa Cruz, I am always honored when someone entrusts me with what I consider to be one of the most important decisions of their lives. I care that you find the perfect home in the area you like. I also care that when you sell your home it is done with the least inconvenience and the maximum dollars obtainable to you.

For Sellers:  

When listing your home, it's part of my commitment to market your home in the right way, to the broadest possible audience of home buyers, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. As a CRS and an e-PRO® Certified Realtor®, I utilize innovative technology to also reach today's Internet savvy buyers because research shows that 7 out of 10 home shoppers are looking on the Internet to find their home, and online home shoppers spend more for their homes than traditional buyers. 

"Debbie was absolutely wonderful to work with and very responsive -- I was always able to easily get a hold of her with any questions. Debbie is knowledgeable and reliable, with great character and integrity, and I now refer everyone her way."  ~ Norma and Walt Bleecker

Realtor.com: The Internet is a powerful marketing tool, if used effectively.  For example, on Realtor.com alone, your property will stand out to more than 6.1 million consumers who, on average, spent 86% of the time they spent searching for a home online at Realtor.com. With thousands of listings, how do I ensure your home stands out? While most agents only offer the plain, non-descript listing, I upgrade your listing to utilize every marketing enhancement available, such as gold showcase borders, tactful colored scrolling text banners, appealing text descriptions (not just MLS jargon), multiple photographs, and customized titling. 

Virtual Tours: Additionally, I utilize the industry's best virtual tours, uploaded to Realtor.com®, providing search engine benefits for top rankings. Invite homebuyers to step inside your home without even opening the door!

Internet Marketing: Furthermore, your property will be listed on numerous top Internet real estate websites including: Realtor.com, MLSListings.com, Yahoo!RealEstate, AOL, MSN, CompuServe, duPontRegistry, CraigsList, DavidLyng.com, DebbieLantis.com, and many more!

Television: Many of my listings have been featured on "Your Next Home" with host Romney Dunbar, showing nightly at 6pm on Cable Channel 34 and Sundays at 6:30pm on ABC Cable Channel 7.

I also invite you to receive any number of Free Seller Reports filled with invaluable information.

For Buyers:

When looking for a home for buyers, I search the MLS multiple times daily for new listings to ensure you have the best opportunity for viewing a listing before it's discovered by a competitive buyer.

"Debbie is incredible!  The home we purchased went on the market and was listed for several thousand dollars under appraisal due to a distress sale situation. This home was HUGE, and had everything we wanted. Debbie called us the moment it was listed and we went that night to view it. We immediately submitted an offer, which was accepted. The next day, offers began pouring in above asking price. Especially since this had been the maximum we could offer, had it not been for Debbie's speed and invaluable professional service, we would have never succeeded in the purchase."  ~ The Drakes

Would you like me to be on the lookout for you? It's easy! Just let me know what you're looking for, without obligation.

I enjoy working with first time and experienced homebuyers alike, and with a background in teaching and construction, I offer thorough guidance and have a unique and experienced perspective on our local residential real estate market.

Whether buying or selling, my goal is to thoroughly educate you about the local real estate market and keep you well informed, daily.

Every day I am grateful to be living in this magnificent part of California with my husband and daughter. Santa Cruz has been my home for twenty five years, so I am well aware of the differences and diversities of the areas within our county.
