Debbie Russell's Profile

Being the child of a military officer, I have firsthand knowledge of the relocation experience and understand the anxiety and issues of relocation for both short and long-distance moves. I graduated from Weber State University with a degree in Business and Accounting.  A job opportunity brought my family and I to the Pacific Northwest where we have called home for over 30 years. After a successful career in finance and accounting, I embarked on a career in real estate. My strengths include a positive attitude, integrity that does not waiver, adept organizational skills, a keen eye for detail, self-motivation, timely communication, active listening, and negotiation skills. Most of all...client motivated.    

I understand that buying or selling a home is more than just a transaction: it’s a life-changing experience. I’m dedicated to providing exceptional, personalized service for all my clients. I take great pride in building relationships and working relentlessly on the client’s behalf to help them achieve their real estate goals. My client referrals are the heart and soul of my business and are valuable in building a good reputation and trust in the community.

Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES®) My first experience with over 50 and selling the family home was when my mother's declining health hampered her ability to keep her home in order.  A widow, she owned a large home and yard. The thought of moving was incredibly emotional, overwhelming, and daunting when she realized there was a lifetime of "stuff" as well as collectibles and antiques. My mother passed away quickly from COPD and my two sisters, and I lived out of the area.  Within a short amount of time and with heavy hearts, we had to plan a funeral and find resources to help organize, sort, donate and plan an estate sale. As a result of this experience, I discovered the Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES®) Designation that Realtors can achieve to assist the 50+ market.  As an SRES, I offer sensitivity, empathy, trust, and respect that senior clients need when selling the family home.  When they need help from other professionals, I can tap into my network and put them in touch with reliable, trusted, and qualified resources.   My goal is to take the daunting out of downsizing.
