What People Are Saying About Debra Ford
Debra communicated exceptionally well and got us an excellent result in a short time.
We could not be happier with the experience we had working with Debra. From the very beginning, her communication was excellent — she kept us informed every step of the way, and made the entire process feel smooth and stress-free. Her knowledge of the market was impressive, and she got us a great result in a very short period of time. Highly recommended.

Best of the best!
Deb is a highly rated agent for a reason!
I originally purchased my home through Deb over 4 years ago and always said she’ll be my first contact of call if I ever wanted to sell, here we are!
Deb does nothing but go above and beyond for you, she’s quick to response to any questions! She’s a wealth of knowledge and is spot on with what your home is worth. She makes the whole process absolutely stress free and surprisingly a pleasant experience.
Could not recommend Deb enough to anyone looking to sell their home, I know she’ll always be my first point of contact in the future!

Difficult Situation - Great Result!
We recently had to sell our home remotely after needing to move interstate earlier than planned.
Debra was very professional and had great information for us to consider on the first face to face visit and then through the entire process even though most of this was done over 1000km apart.
Debra went above and beyond in helping to organise final preparation and presentation of the home prior to listing and was always helpful and patient with what was probably not the easiest of sales.
Couldn't have done it without her!

What Debra advised - timeframe & price was achieved
Debra's title of No 1 Female Agent in the Hunter Region is well deserved and she lived up to that with our property sale. What Debra said about the achievable price and how long our property would take to sell was spot on.
Everything happened quickly, from the initial visit to staging, photography, some advice about a few details we could improve on, sign up then ads online and we were ready for the first Open. Debra said all along that we would find our buyer at that first open and we did!! Multiple offers resulted in more than we had hoped for. Debra then dealt with the buyers and solicitor to help us to exchange and we are now awaiting settlement in 4 weeks time.
We highly recommend Debra and could not be happier with her service, communication and knowledge, she really does know her stuff and we would use her again in heart beat.

Process made easy
Debra was excellent from the moment we met. She was professional, friendly, and always answered our questions. To anyone wanting to buy,sell, or just a market appraisal, I recommend giving Debra a call.

Exceptional Agent – A Trusted Advisor for Over a Decade
I first met Debra when she sold me my first investment property at 21. Thirteen years later, I just sold that same property with her, having bought and sold others through her in between. That says it all. She is a no-nonsense, straight-to-the-point professional who gets results. Over the years, she has generously offered invaluable advice on my portfolio, even when there was no direct benefit to her. Her integrity and deep market knowledge are unmatched. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Highly Professional, Knowledgeable and Caring
Debra was incredibly caring, understanding and knowledgeable. She covered all bases about selling a property with us and did evaluations and explain why the property got the evaluation it did. The whole process felt so easy, and it was her experience, knowledge and empathy that drove that. We couldn’t have been happier to go with Debra Ford.
From start to finish there was always communication on what needed to happen and when. She always asked our preference for things such as how we wanted the property to be presented. Always checked in and let us know of any progress, and was in touch in just about every other aspect to think of.

Third Time's a Charm!
Deb has sold 3 properties for us now, each being a stress free and successful process. This property had a lease for another 6 months, so our concerns were losing any potential buyers because of it. Deb had it sold within a week ????

Selling a property
We recently sold my mother’s house as she needed to move into a nursing home, and working with Debra made the process so much easier. She was proactive right from the beginning and quickly secured a cash sale for us, which was exactly what we needed to simplify the process and reduce the stress during a difficult time. Her professionalism, support, and genuine care made all the difference. I couldn’t recommend Debra more highly—thank you for everything you did for us.

Not only the agent I wanted but the Agent I NEEDED!!!!
I was recommended Deb from close Friends who live in the area. Her reviews and mentions came with 5 stars and she didn't disappoint.
I had to sell my investment property whilst I was residing in Western Australia, with the exception of one face to face meeting, everything was done via email and phone correspondence.
Deb catered to my age demographic, where everything had to be explained, in order for me to understand, especially when it came to conducting formal buisness via email links. She went above and beyond to explain each individual process, she did so without getting frustrated, even when I gave her reason too.
Deb provided me with sound knowledge and advice of the market, which allowed me to feel comfortable that the process was not going to be overwhelming.
I am forever grateful for the friends that recommended Deb.

Flexible Service
Deb was flexible with the unique requests we had for open homes. Her knowledge of our area was what we appreciated. Newcastle-based agents undervalued our property significantly.
