Debbie is a full-time licensed real estate professional with RE/MAX who has 12+ years experience in working with Seniors around Winnipeg and the Interlake. Debbie carries the Seniors Real Estate Specialist® designation (SRES®), conferred by the National Association of Realtors® which focu
sses on assisting seniors when transitioning to a new home. Seniors face more challenges that younger buyers & sellers don’t. Not only are there unique financial considerations in retirement, but older adults have to consider physical limitations.
When Debbie is not helping clients or spending time with family she loves to bake, garden, volunteer and also helps her elderly Mom and Aunt. She understands first hand how transitioning a parents or family member is a delicate process that not only is an honour but needs thoughtful consideration on how to handle the transaction. Debbie believes in giving back where possible and donates proceeds of her sales to charities like Siloam Mission and The Children’s Miracle Network.
Her no pressure approach guiding seniors and their families in an accommodating & stress-free way has been appreciated by families near and far. One of the most rewarding parts of her job is helping those who need it and knowing that a difference was made at a very important time in their life. Downsize with dignity and ease.
