Personable, Professional, & Absolute Pleasure
Debra was very personable and professional. She listened to what I wanted and was responsive in a way that made me feel seen and heard.
She was very clear and timely in her communication. She made sure I was always informed of what was going on.
I was completely satisfied with my home buying experience with Debra. It was an absolute pleasure to work with her. She was very kind and patient with me and my children throughout the process.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value
Debra was absolutely wonderful. As first time home buyers we didn't know what really to expect, but Debra helped us every step of the way. I’d almost go as far as calling her our fairy house mother. She gave us great advice to help us make a decision that we were happy with and was more than willing to go to bat for us as well as her own helpful tips and tricks. Much appreciated and thank you very much Debra!

I highly recommend Debra Neal! As a first time home owner, navigating the home buyer process was very overwhelming and at times discouraging. Debra was with me every step of the way keeping me encouraged, motivated, and focused on my big goal. She brings a wealth of knowledge to her work as a realtor, compassion, and experience working with many first time home buyer programs. She is committed to her work and has been a huge support for me even after closing. Thank you so much Debra! I appreciate all of your advocacy and making sure my family has everything we need in our new home. You are truly one of a kind.

Positive: Professionalism, Responsiveness
I would give Debra ten stars if the scale went that high! I recommend Debra Neal emphatically. Debra helped my spouse and I finally buy a home after living in Portland for ten years. I was a first time home buyer, and even though I work in commercial real estate, I wanted a professional real estate agent who knew the residential market and home buying process very well. In Debra, we found an agent who was kind, knowledgeable, responsive, trustworthy, and forthright. She expertly guided us through the process from the start of our search until the moment she handed us the keys to our new home. I strongly encourage prospective home buyers to call Debra!!!!

Debra Neal is an AMAZING realtor! She helped me as a first time homebuyer in the summer of 2020 and I cannot recommend her enough. She has a wealth of expertise when it comes to homebuying and will answer any questions you have multiple times with a smile. She is in your corner from the get go and really listens to you and your needs. She truly advocates for you, she makes sure no stone goes unturned (the inspectors she recommended were top notch and had very competitive rates compared to all the other research and references I collected) and she follows up on everything that can be fixed by the seller. She is always diligently working behind the scenes, often reaching out to me before I could ask for an update. I can only give her the highest praise. The best part about working with Debra is that you can really trust that she is doing everything in her power to help you find the best house on the market so you can make it a home. She is an excellent realtor and you would be blessed to have her on your team as you search for a home.

Debra helped me sell my home earlier this year...she was wonderful! She was thoughtful, informative, thorough, really advocated for me and was reasonable. We had some difficult things to navigate but she really helped ease my mind and made sure the deal closed. She was also ready to go with different trades (i.e. roofer, sewer, etc.) to help with the inspection process. I so appreciated working with her and would absolutely recommend her!

Thank God for our Lender referring us to a realtor she said is “a nice lady, that knows her stuff” just as we felt we would walk away from buying a home and start over next year. This nice lady was also the instructor for our Homebuyers class. We called the realtor and set a date and met with her. It was like the skies opened up, all the dark clouds parted and there she was, Debra Neal with the kindest smile and right away she was taking us to the homes we had specified with our needs. FINALLY, the homebuying experience would leave us with good memories of excitement, happiness and satisfaction working with a realtor that catered to our needs and negotiated for us. She constantly reassured us things would work out, answered all our questions and exemplified professionalism. We closed March 6th, 2020 and we are elated. I feel we have gained a friend for life. Thank you Debra Neal for this great lasting memory of buying our dream home.
- Sheila Keaton
Debra Neal is amazing. I feel like she saved the day and the deal on multiple occasions. Her experience shined during Walk-throughs providing valuable information and advise. Her expertise during the offer, escrow and closing phases was evident and effective. Lastly her professionalism is unmatched. She was responsive always available whether I reached out by email telephone or text. I would and if possible will definitely trust my next purchase or sale in Debra’s capable hands. You should too. Do yourself a favor and call her today. Thank you so much Debra. I don’t think I would have this home without you. I absolutely love you!

Debra came highly recommended to me from my lender, and I'm so glad that she was my agent! As a first time home buyer, and someone who is relatively new to living in Portland, it was important to me that my realtor that really knew the area. She took the time on a Sunday to take me around and look at houses. When I fell in love with the second house I saw, she promptly took me back to her office, discussed what kind of offer I would need to put in to get the home, and wrote it up. The process took off from there as the offer got accepted the same day, and Debra was there every step of the way - even when the process slowed down at the very end, she was communicative and solidly in my corner. I cannot recommend her enough!
- Jamie Lee
I was referred to Debra Neal by my lender. I have a few friends in the business but decided to step out on faith and go with his recommendation. Debra was an absolute godsend. She is professional, knowledgeable, and most importantly PATIENT! I was impressed to learn that she also teaches homeownership classes (yes queen!) She really knows her stuff! She got to know my family and showed us a number of properties that fit our style and budget and made us feel comfortable along the way. Between Easter and Mothers Day, we ultimately found “the one”. Debra, the flowers don’t even begin to express my gratitude. Thank you infinitely.

Thank you for your hard work and open eyes and ears that helped us get into our first home. We're just around 2 months in and already feel it is our own. Thank you again!
- Ryan & Maddie
We met with two other realtors before deciding to enlist Debra to help us buy our first home. Debra’s warm professionalism made her extremely likeable. We knew that we didn’t need to worry about her reputation or ego interfering with our process, and saw that as an important asset in choosing someone to act on our behalf. Our impression turned out to be accurate and along the way we heard praise for Debra from other realtors and real estate professionals – she is forthright, experienced, and a pleasure to work with.
Debra was patient and flexible during our home search. She spent several Saturdays taking us to see houses, and we saw about 30 houses together before we made an offer that was accepted. Debra seemingly worked all the time, as she responded to emails promptly and prepared paperwork immediately, even outside of usual business hours.
Debra also provided excellent referrals to local professionals to handle the details for us along the way. We ended up going with Debra’s recommendations for our financing and inspections after consulting with others. Her network is top-notch. Ultimately, we purchased a beautiful home for significantly under the asking price and we are completely satisfied with our experience. Thank you, Debra!

Combining business with friendship can be tricky, but in this case, I could not have asked for a better business partner than trusting the sale of my home to my friend Debra Neal!!! She was an AWESOME realtor to work with and our friendship has grown even deeper throughout the process of selling my Portland home.
"Fall/Winter is not the very best time to put a home on the market but Debra jumped right in to work with me, answered all my questions and concerns, gave me hope and encouragement when needed and her expertise helped me make all the right decisions along the way! Thank you Debra! You truly helped make the process a surely great experience!! I am beyond grateful and even more grateful for the awesome gift of your friendship.

I've bought three houses in my lifetime and Debra Neal is BY FAR the BEST AND MOST DEDICATED and GODLIEST agent I have ever met.

When I contacted Debra Neal eighteen months ago about how to become a first homeowner, she automatically referred me to a program which will help me finance and educate me about house buying.
Buying a very first house is one of the most important and stressful experiences people encounter during their lives. It is very important to engage the right person who provides personalized service to guide you through this purchase. Debra Neal was the right person for me. Her professionalism and responsiveness would be an asset to any individual or family seeking a real estate transaction.
Debra listened well, was attentive to my needs and strived to understand my likes and dislikes. I didn’t feel rushed. I was not that easy to work with; I was very slow to make decision and I changed my mind just few hours before the deadline to deposit the Earnest money! She was very patient and did not mind keep working with me. I found Debra to know the area intimately, to know the inventory available, she knew the back story on properties which was very helpful, and she kept up with new inventory that came onto the market that might interest me.
When I found the right home for me and my family, Debra helped me close the deal, negotiate favorable terms, and was there to assist me until I had the keys in my hand! She managed to be at the closing which was scheduled at 7am. She was very dedicated! Her vast knowledge of market analysis, contractors, financial options, legal issues, etc. showcases that she is the best in the industry. Through our journey, I watched Debra educate the other realtors while they provided misinformation or demonstrated a lack of experience.

It was such a pleasure getting to know you while you helped us find just the right house.. You listened to what we wanted in our new home and what area of Portland we were interested in. We really appreciated your thoroughness in our search. It was a pleasure working with you as you showed us several homes that fit our needs. You took the stress out of buying a new home by setting everything up and letting us know where we had to be and what we would have to do. Our new house fits us perfectly and we feel like it is our home. Thank you for all your diligent work and caring for our needs. We would highly recommend you to anyone looking to buy a home.

I’ve been a mortgage lender for close to 15 years, and have worked with many, many, many Realtors during that time. The three most important areas I look at and assess in a realtor are:
- Do they put their client’s interest before theirs?
- What is their level of Professionalism?
- Do they have the experience to give good advice to their clients?
Debra rates “Excellent” in all those categories, and I’d feel more than comfortable having her represent my family in any real estate transaction.

I had the pleasure of working Debra for three months recently during which time I had lots of fun searching for my new home. Her pleasant personality, skillful approach and promptness came together in a way that made it almost effortless for me to do my part. If you choose Debra for your agent, be prepared for the best to happen.

Debra, please include this in your portfolio: I so appreciate the hard work and skill that Debra exhibited in the recent sale of our Mother's home. This sale had many challenges because it was in need of extensive up-dating and had an unfinished addition. Debra used her marketing skills to obtain the right buyers for us. Whenever there was a need for her to be at the home she was there. Our house is now closed and we are so happy with this. Not only did we gain a house sold, but also a wonderful personal friend. I highly recommend her for anyone selling or buying a home.
- Howard & Leslie Ferris
It was my good fortune to employ Debra Neal to sale my home. Shortly after hiring Debra it became immediately apparent she is extremely service oriented and dedicated to helping her clients achieve their goals. Her dedication along with her skills and experience were invaluable. Her guidance and advice was dependable accurate and thorough. Any service she could provide was readily available to me at the slightest request, which was invaluable considering I travel a lot.
I would highly recommend Debra Neal for all your real estate needs.
