Debbie Long entered the real estate industry over 27 years ago. She knew, at that time, she would be helping people find and sell homes, but she was not aware of how personally attached she would become to each of those families and how en-ingrained she would eventually be in the happenings of so many communities, diverse cultures, and people of all different personalities.

Debbie expects all of the agents under her supervision to display the highest degree of integrity and professionalism, as that is what she demands of herself.
Striving to always "do the right thing" for her clients and the real estate industry as a whole, she is now the owner and operator of her own brokerage and prides herself on training her Realtors to lead with their hearts and truly serve their clients first and foremost. "All of the success in the world means nothing, if you get there without having given a piece of yourself along the way!"

"All help, no hassle!" is more than a tagline, it's the whole basis of my business philosophy. I understand that choosing when to move and where to live is one of the biggest decisions we make and as such, it is not one to be taken lightly. Whether you or your loved ones are ready to roll this month or are just starting to explore the possibilities of relocating, I'm ready to assist in whatever capacity you need. Drawing on my degree in finance and my background working in the banking and investment industry, I do my best to present a clear analysis of the numbers related to this complex decision. But not to worry, it's never just all about numbers. I pride myself on treating every potential client with patience and respect.

In the 17 + years I have been in real estate, I have had several opportunities to assist homeowners with the decision to either remain in their home or sell to downsize. I also had first hand experience in assisting my mother with selling her condo and personal belongings to move from S Florida to Louisiana to live with me. It was a difficult decision for my mother but helping and guiding her thru that process was very personal and rewarding when she said it was the best decision for her. That experience left me with the patience and understanding required for guiding you and your family thru the process. One client described working with me as “No pressure, just gentle guidance”.
