Debra began developing a passion for giving old/dated houses new life during grad school when she and her Dad flipped her first home.  This passion for improving the livability and beauty of a home allows her to provide a valuable resource to her real estate clients as they visualize their life in a Ruidoso mountain home.  In addition, for her listing clients her years of experience in sales, marketing and technology insures an effective sales campaign.  Debra prides herself on keeping abreast of current market trends and providing timely and accurate data to her clients – assisting them in making their best personal investment choices.

In her spare time Debra loves to travel, camp, hike and enjoy the natural beauty of New Mexico and the Southwest with her three dogs – Poppy, Frankie and Ginger Bear.  She is also a commissioned fine artist working primarily in pastels, acrylics and oils – inspired by the beauty and culture of New Mexico.
