Deborah Vance: Realtor - Spirit Realty

Fantastic experience: Deborah worked heroically and consistently to get my condo sold. She is tireless responsive and efficient, and fun to work with. I would recommend you reach out to her for any of your IB needs. - Jill T.

Fantastic experience: We have known Deb for about 15 years and have worked with her on multiple home purchases and sales. We’re currently working with her again, which speaks to the trust and confidence we have in her. She is knowledgeable, responsive, and makes the entire process smooth. We highly recommend her!

Fantastic experience: Great Good Terrific Wonderful

Fantastic experience: Deborah is very knowledgeable and patient and explain everything to you in details ...she is the best at what she does.

Fantastic experience: I met Deborah Vance (Debbie) by chance at an open house during a challenging period in my life—my divorce had been pending for several years, and I was unsure about the future of my marital home. After our brief conversation, Debbie sent me a thoughtful handwritten postcard, encouraging me to stay hopeful. That small gesture of kindness stayed with me and ultimately led me back to her when it was time to sell. From the very beginning, Debbie demonstrated all the qualities you would want in a realtor: she was knowledgeable, professional, tenacious, and incredibly responsive. Thanks to her expertise and strategic approach, my home sold in just two days and for well-above market value. What truly sets Debbie apart is her warmth and dedication. She genuinely cares about her clients and goes above and beyond to make a stressful process feel manageable—and even hopeful. I am deeply grateful for her guidance and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for an extraordinary realtor.

Fantastic experience: We decided to leave what we thought was our forever home. We put much of ourselves and a lot of money into a major remodel. We knew we had to sell the house for top dollar to come out even. With Deborah's incite and marketing, she was able to get us the price we were hoping for. It was bitter / sweet for us, but having Deborah in our corner made all the difference. I've done a lot of real estate transactions in my life, and I would chose her every time.

Fantastic experience: As a mortgage broker, I work with a wide range of real estate agents on a regular basis—and I can confidently say that Deborah Vance is one of the best I’ve had the pleasure of working with. She was the listing agent on a recent transaction, and her professionalism, responsiveness, and commitment to getting the deal done were truly exceptional. Deborah played a key role in keeping the transaction on track and went above and beyond to provide the documents and information needed to ensure a smooth loan process. Her communication was clear and timely, and she was always a step ahead in anticipating what was needed. If every agent operated like Deborah, every deal would be a dream. Looking forward to working with her again soon!

Fantastic experience: Great agent!

Fantastic experience: Deb is a wonderful realtor. A real go getter. She goes above and beyond for her sellers and buyers. If you want results Deb will make it happen. You won’t find a harder working realtor!

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough to express my gratitude to Deb about my experience with her, in the sale and time critical 1031 Exchange of my rental property. After being led down a dead end path, and losing faith in a couple different “Buy your house” businesses, I turned to Deb for advice and assistance. She brought an entire different feeling to the stressful situation of selling a property. Deb’s professionalism was only surpassed by her tenacious work ethic. I found Deb to be a down to earth gal, who is personable, relatable, and understands what folks go thru when buying or selling a property, while truly enjoying her work. She was always just a text message away, night or day, throughout the entire transaction, and always seemed to be a step ahead of the possible day to day complications. I highly recommend Deborah as an excellent friend, advisor and Realtor. John H

Fantastic experience: Deb is truly one of the best things to happen to us. After years of watching IB, the town we love and have called home for so long, skyrocket out of reach… we had settled for the idea of being lifelong renters. Deb completely changed all of that. She is a straight shooter and as transparent as they come, things we honestly never thought we’d say about a realtor. Not only did she find us our dream home in our dream location, but she went to bat for us every step of the process. Deb and the lender she works with, Todd, work magic. From the day we met them until well after we closed on our home, they always made time for us, and walked us through every step of the process with patience. Having shopped several other Realtor/Lenders prior to meeting Deb, we can tell you beyond a doubt they cannot be beat. Typing this sitting in our new home feels beyond surreal, and none of it would have been possible without Deb. She is truly the gem of IB and is the best in the business!

Fantastic experience: I have purchased a total of 6 homes in 4 different states and had worked with multiple realtors and I can tell you from experience that Deb Vance left a lasting impression on how the buying process should work. Deb is thorough, knowledgeable and guides you through the process from start to finish. I couldn't ask for a better agent! She was patient and fun to work with. I have dealt with many agents and Deborah is my go to agent. I will always recommend Deb and if I buy another home, Deb will be my first call!

Fantastic experience: Deborah is AWESOME!!! She is knowledgeable of imperial beach like no other agent. She is prompt and consistent in responding to your needs or concerns. She is tenacious and will fight for you, as your personal advocate, during the whole negotiation process. I would not use any other agent, when buying or selling, in imperial beach.

Fantastic experience: I’d moved out of my condo in Imperial Beach and was getting ready to sell when I received one of Deborah’s marketing postcards in the mail. Talk about perfect timing. I called, we met, and I was grabbed by her enthusiasm right from the start. And it didn’t end there. She told me up front, the price I was asking and what I could possibly get might be difficult to achieve. But she’d do her best to get me the best deal possible. Deborah did everything to get it ready for listing. And I mean everything. First she hired an awesome handyman to make little repairs and give the place a mini face lift; like replacing missing grout, fixing worn out screens, slow drainage issues, a fresh coat of paint on the door and balcony entryway, and touch-up paint everywhere inside. Next, she arranged 'specialty staging' that looked great and then with what she calls her 'secret weapon' had a professional photographer take photos that looked nothing less than magazine ready! Then, Deborah worked tirelessly scheduling open-house after open-house every weekend making sure my condo was highly visible to any prospective buyer and kept me in the loop every step of the way. After only a month on the market, we received an offer. Her hard work paid off. Deborah got more than I thought she could. All this - and I got my desired price! Thanks Deb!

Fantastic experience: Deborah was available any time I needed. She was able to get things done with minimal notice and never made me feel that I was bothering her, though I definitely did. My husband and I were moving from San Francisco and both worked so our availability were very specific. She has a wonderful broker that was able to close our offer in 14 days per demand of seller. I don't know how, but they were able to make it happen. What an amazing team!

Fantastic experience: Working with Deborah has been an awesome experience. She carries herself very professionally and knows how to take care of business when it comes to selling homes. Thank you Deborah for all the work you've given me, we make an awesome team.

Fantastic experience: Selling your home is very stressful Deborah and her team made the experience so much easier. The work provided was genius, as it seemed effortless by such a dedicated and professional team. Why would anyone list with anyone else Would recommend to anyone thinking about selling their home/property.

Fantastic experience: Deborah exceeded my expectations of service and I would definitely call her again! She responded quickly to what was needed in marketing our home. Her professional team was on top too. I had no concerns when we listed with Deborah. Thank you Deborah!! Paul and Shirley

Fantastic experience: It was such a pleasure working with Deborah, who listed our house for us. She is very personable and knowledgeable about the local area. She knew about current construction going on and future plans the city has to improve the area. She goes above and beyond the job description to make sure that we are happy. She even took our trash barrels to the curb one week when we couldn't be there. I would highly recommend Deborah to anyone looking to buy or sell a house.

Fantastic experience: Deborah showed us the home in Imperial Beach that we had an eye on. We loved it immediately but had concerns about price per square foot. She listened very intently, and wrote up an offer without delay, and continued negotiations nonstop. She has a gazillion contacts for every need, from a ‘handyman’ to loan experts. We now have our home! I think it’s because of her persistence that we got the home. At the time, nothing was on the market more than a day or so. Deborah is aggressive (in a good way!) and always responded to our concerns immediately. I highly recommend Deborah Vance! !

Fantastic experience: Deborah got us a cash offer on our home in less than a week!! Deborah surpassed all of our expectations and went above and beyond!! Deborah is amazing! If you want to sell your home then call Deborah, it will be the best decision you ever make!!!!

Fantastic experience: I've had two experiences with Deborah in purchasing homes: The first was when my daughter and son-in-law were looking for a home when she was pregnant with her first child. Needless to say they were in a bit of a time crunch and wanted something near me since I would be my grandchild's caregiver. Deborah went ABOVE AND BEYOND finding them something only a block away. That was during a time when every house for sale had multiple offers and bidding wars. Deborah wrote a heartfelt letter to the sellers on my daughter & SIL's behalf and they got the house! They couldn't be happier and it's wonderful that I can walk back and forth to care for my grandchildren. The second was for my parents who needed to move to San Diego to be closer to me so that I might help care for my father, who had dementia. His condition was steadily worsening and my mother needed more help than she could get in her small town. Again, Deborah worked tirelessly and quickly to find the perfect home for my parents. She walked us through a tricky process and made sure everything was perfect for my parents. This was the first time in 66 years of marriage that my Mom had to make these decisions on her own and go through the home buying process without my Dad's input. We once again found ourselves in a time crunch and having to do things while my parents were in a different state. Deborah made it all so easy for us. I would highly recommend Deborah over and over to anyone wanting to buy or sell a house. She's truly the best! She listens, she cares, she's a go-getter and she wants her clients to be happy. If I ever find myself in the position to buy or sell my home or my parents' I will definitely call on Deborah.

Fantastic experience: Deborah was a huge help in selling my property

Fantastic experience: I don’t normally take the time to write reviews, but Deborah did a fantastic job that I wanted to praise her. When I was going to list our property, I had no I idea which company to pick. So, I interviewed a few people. For whatever reason, everyone I talked to made a good sales pitch but I was still uncertain. I figured the only thing that matters is getting our property sold. So, I researched Zillow for Homes Sold in Imperial Beach over the last three years and tallied up the number of sales each realtor made. That is when I noticed that Radiant Realty was one of the most consistent producers during that time-period. I invited her to a meeting, and she impressed me as a go-getter, smart, experienced and resourceful. I engaged her company to list the house and the first weekend she held two Open Houses. The house was sold the following Tuesday. I misspoke when said that the only thing that matters is getting the house sold. We had a few items that needed to be fixed before the home could get ok’d by the buyers’ lender. Deb was Johnny-on-the-Spot and set me up with all her resources to get everything fixed and approved. For that moment on it was smooth sailing. Deb was always easily reached when I had a question. She always kept me in the loop. She is a Ball of Fire! The net result was that we sold our home for exactly the dollar amount we wanted and closed escrow in 32 days! What else could you want!

Negative experience: Make sure you check paperwork and check for mass amounts of mold that isn't disclosed

Fantastic experience: They got back to me really fast and answered my questions. No pressure, just nice and helpful.

Fantastic experience: Deborah managed just over $2M for the sale of our triplex apartments and the purchase of a condominium and qualify for a 1031 Exchange. Many transactions are reported as smooth without any issue or major problems . Well, ours was a real challenge and we strongly believe we would not have been successful without the guidance we received from Deborah. It is difficult to summarize everything she did to guide us. From the begging Deborah gave us a list of people who would be involved and people we had to contact before that would guide us in the 1031 Exchange. We were successful using all of the contacts she gave us. From the time she put our triplex for sale we called and/or text Deborah and her support team almost daily including evenings and weekends. I’m sure we asked many of the same questions several times and her team members were always super supportive and positive. If we ever decide to sell or purchase again we will only call on Deborah to work with. She was very dependable and she was a very hard worker for us. We’re sure Deborah had all of the responsibilities a person has when they have their own real estate business but she made us feel special and we felt she gave us 100% of her attention. So we want to thank Deborah and the people on her team for their hard work that made our sale and purchase so successful.

Fantastic experience: We were extremely happy with Deb when selling our condo. It was our first time selling a property and she was very helpful and knowledgeable. She advised us as to asking price and was very confident she could get it. She really knows our neighborhood. She moved quickly to get it listed and set an open house. Our condo sold within days of our first open house for above asking price. She then walked us through each step of escrow/closing. We highly recommend Deb.

Fantastic experience: Deborah Vance at Radiant Realty is a real go-getter! She gets you top dollar, the results you want and does tons of extra work. She works hard for you with enthusiasm and quickness. I highly recommend her!

Fantastic experience: Debbie is absolutely a first class real estate agent! When we started considering selling our home in Imperial Beach, we reached out to her after seeing that she has many years of experience with the area. My husband and I were immediately impressed with her professionalism, friendly demeanor and honesty. She was extremely diligent in marketing our house with professional photographs, open houses and advertisements. She was very patient with us through the whole process, which was very reassuring to us since the process can be somewhat daunting at times and we had no idea of what to expect. While working to sell our IB home, she also helped us find our new dream home in the area that we needed to relocate to. She had our best interests in mind the whole time and diligently negotiated a great price for us. The whole process of selling one house and buying another was not easy and we ran into a few hiccups along the way, but Debbie worked her magic and got us through it. She was amazing! In the end she got both escrows closed within 24 hours of each other and she arranged for us to have access to both houses for several days so we were never homeless and had a much less stressful moving experience. As if all of this wasn't already amazing enough, Debbie even arranged to have our new home cleaned before we moved in and she gave us several fantastic contacts for getting repairs and other work done on our new house. We wish that Google would allow us to give Debbie 100 Stars for this review because she absolutely deserves it!

Fantastic experience: Deborah was absolutely the best Realtor I could have found to help my husband sell his Imperial Beach property! I live out-of-state and needed someone that could bring the right resources to the task of getting his condo ready to list and show before market conditions changed. Did some research, gave her a call, and she made it happen in record time! She knows the market, worked tirelessly to manage final details, attracted excellent buyers, and delivered a spectacular sale for him. We're very grateful for her professional services and will not hesitate to call her again. Thank you Deborah!

Fantastic experience: It is easy to leave 5-stars for Deborah! Not only is she passionate for helping people look at, view and search for homes, she works hard for you to get to closing! She will do everything she possibly can for you and is always readily available to see you, call you or meet with you in person. I worked with Deborah for over two YEARS seeing many homes, placing many offers and even backing out of places that didn’t feel right and Deborah showed up for me EVERY single time until I closed on my home. You will not regret choosing Deborah Vance and her team!!!!

Fantastic experience: Have been working with this agent for over a year. Extremely knowledgeable in the real estate field and is great to work with!

Fantastic experience: Deborah was a true find as a real estate agent. Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable about the local market, but she is willing to do whatever it takes to help her clients. There were a number of issues with our last condo purchase, and she knocked them all off like a pro. I can’t recommend her highly enough!

Fantastic experience: Deb is amazing! She works so hard to get you the best property your money can buy with the best terms.

Fantastic experience: We worked with Debra for a few months to purchase our home during the busiest time of the year. She showed us multiple properties and helped us make multiple offers. She was always available night or day. She even provided us with references for contractors and finance professionals. She goes over and beyond for her clients, I would highly recommend her. She has a great personality and energy and I feel like we gained a friend in the process.

Fantastic experience: Best realtor around. Anyone who knows me as a google reviewer can see I’m a rare 5 star. I reserve these reviews for perfection in experience. It’s not currency or something I do to be nice. If your good you can get 4 stars but unless you are at the top of your game you’ll not be seeing a 5 from this reviewer. Deb is Da Bomb! Responsive detailed and aggressive when it comes to taking care of her peeps. Can’t go wrong.

Fantastic experience: Working with Ms. Vance was an easy process, she helped in so many ways that it became a cherished moment in life!! I found exactly what I was looking for, in the area I wanted to be. I never imagined that I would enjoy this, but she made it so fun!!

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Deb to handle both the selling of your home and finding your new dream home. She is diligent and professional in her approach on making sure everything is done without being asked to follow up. We bought and sold a home with Deb and she was a pleasure to work with. We had a very short escrow on our new home and she sold our existing home is 7 days and at almost full asking price. If there was an issue along the way it was just a phone call to her and she handled it. She recommended the other services we needed and they were professional and made the process smooth and easy.

Fantastic experience: Deborah is the most amazing realtor and is a dedicated, hardworking person. She goes above and beyond for her clients. I admire how professional and driven she is. If you want an experienced person to find you the home of your dreams don’t look anywhere else. She will give you her all to show you the exciting experience of buying your new home.

Fantastic experience: Nothing but hard work and intense enthusiasm goes into every minute of her work day. She exceeds the standard set above and beyond the job with every client she has. She isn’t selling walls and roofs, or doors and windows, she is giving someone the opportunity to find their dream. Somewhere to make their homestead, and bury their roots, wether it be military, civilian or anywhere in between. She being a mother of three children understands the value of family and how the home effects each life. That is exactly why she strives to ensure you more than like the house you choose, instead love the home you live in. Very rarely in time do you see someone who has not only found their calling but truly loves embarking in every journey it has to offer. Working with her is not only rewarding but a thrill of an experience. Don’t take risks with the rest of your life and your could be home, call or email Deborah Vance for the adventure of finding your home.

Fantastic experience: Deborah was recommended to us as the top agent in Imperial Beach and boy did she exceed our expectations! You will love working with her and her team. They are top notch.

Fantastic experience: Deborah is a tough and experienced negotiator. She stuck up for me when the other side started to get pushy a couple weeks into our deal. I learned that there is a lot more to a real estate deal than the price. She kept the deal together and kept me from getting ripped off. Saving me thousands in the process.

Fantastic experience: Learn from me and ONLY work with Deborah Vance to buy or sell your property. She's the BEST! AMAZING is the word you will select after meeting with Deb.

Overall I am satisfied with the outcome and the way she handled everything was hassle free and painless process for me, She took care of everything and smoothly.

Fantastic experience: Deborah is absolutely the consummate professional she helped me get into my home. I don't believe anyone else could have gotten me what she has. I would recommend this lady to anyone looking for a home , she got it done for me and i'm grateful to her for it, V/R Harold Miniard.

Fantastic experience: Deborah did a fantastic job on our sale. She listed on MLS, brought in a bunch of potential buyers, and within a few days we had a full price offer. My wife and I both have jobs that take us out of the house most of the day, and it was difficult for us to take care of everything we needed to do during escrow, particularly the buyer-requested repairs. Deborah completely saved us there, as she called the handyman, oversaw his work, and when we didn't have time to get to Home Depot to make the deadline, even offered to put the dishwasher on her own credit card to be reimbursed later. That kind of dedication to getting everything closed on time was what helped us get through a rather difficult escrow. Kudos to Deborah, and I highly recommend her for any real estate need.

Fantastic experience: Deborah helped me to purchase my first home in San Diego.  She always provide me with top notch and attentive service.  She responses me very quick and her response is so detailed.  I strongly recommend Deborah.

Fantastic experience: Deborah is a fantastic realtor! She is so helpful during the house hunting process. Although we were first time buyers, she educated and worked with us on our terms. She'd FaceTime properties when we weren’t available for a visit since they go so fast in San Diego! I never felt uncomfortable or pushed to do what we didn’t want. The best part of working with her is she has so many contacts! It doesn’t matter what the house needs, she knows someone who can assist. You won’t need a realtor/contractor. You just need Deborah! She is San Diego’s best realtor!

Fantastic experience: I purchased my first home with Deborah and I couldn't ask for a better agent! She was awesome, patient, great, fun to work with, respectful, professional and offered great advise at all times. She showed us so many houses until we chose ours without being pushy or making us feel like we had to buy the first home we saw. I have dealt with other agents before and let me tell you Deborah is the go to agent. I will always recommend her to everyone I know, and my family will as well.

Fantastic experience: An unsurpassed Real Estate Agent. She kept us informed throughout the listing, selling, and closing process. For the first time buyer or seller, Deborah makes the excruciatingly mind numbing and extensively documented escrow process almost delightful. For experienced buyers and sellers, she acknowledges and respects your prior experience and aims to make this exchange the best ever. Excellent listing materials, marketing, and online presentation. We highly recommend Deborah Vance. She is an awesome agent.
