Debbie Gates knows her business. She is so helpful and honest. It has been a pleasure working with her. I will definitely use her again and feel very confident recommending her.

— Piper B, Buyer

We found Debbie through online reviews. Called her up and she was ready to setup a meeting quickly. As we were not in a hurry, we did not want the Agent to push us into buying but at the same time keep us informed of anything that we would like. After meeting her we found that she was the right person to help us cause she was quickly able to understand our expectations, based on our responses to the available homes she showed us online, that day. She asked us to continue reviewing listings and send her a message if we wanted to go look for those houses in person. She was always available and would be quick on setting up appointments. She has great knowledge of the real estate market and the area. She would guide us on everything that we needed guidance on, without trying to push us into decisions. Being local, she has a lot of contacts and a great team of people (lender, inspector, roofer, masonary, electrician, movers, administrator etc.) who are absolutely needed in the complete home buying process and even after that. The whole process felt as smooth as a breeze. Her confidence and great negotiation skills helped us get a great deal on the house that we liked. Being first time home buyers, we needed an expert and we are glad we found her. Would recommend her to anyone… anytime.

We met Debbie first as a precise, professional and exceedingly skilled Realtor, this grew into a great friendship between our families. Debbie is a people person. She is an expressive, friendly and intuitive Realtor who possess superior knowledge, listening, and communication skills. Debbie not only hears, but perceives “your” needs as they relate to “your” home, business, and family needs. Debbie surrounds herself with extraordinarily competent professionals as members of her team. Her Home Stager, Finance, Escrow and support personnel work overtime to work individually with each client. Simi Valley has been our home for the past 25 years. Although we know many in the Real Estate profession, Debbie Gates is the only Realtor we use or recommend to friends and family. Simply put, there is not enough space to list how my husband and I feel about this professional, hardworking Realtor and wonderful friend. She is always available, all you need to do is call.

I would highly recommend Debbie Gates for any of your real estate needs. She is knowledgeable in all phases of real estate. She helped up buy a house and was always available for all our questions. Communication is so important during a real estate transaction, and Debbie always answered her phone and/or email when we needed anything. You will never go wrong working with Debbie. Since we bought the house, we have used Debbie to help us with our rental. We would never use anyone else for any of our real estate needs.

— Jeff Hewitt, Buyer

My husband and I started the process of looking for a home last year and was referred to Debbie Gates by one of our friends. As you may be feeling, looking for a home home can be extremely overwhelming and somewhat stressful. However, we were quickly relieved of those feelings once we began working with Debbie Gates. Her knowledge of the area (including school ratings, nearby parks, and overall differences in neighborhoods) was astounding. She was professional, reliable, honest and we could count on her to answer any question we we may have had. Debbie Gates is a top notch realtor. Not only did we feel a sense of comfort working with her, but when the process was over we felt like we gained a friend. Best of luck to anyone looking for a home…if you want a smooth process with excellent customer service, then your best bet is to work with Debbie Gates!

I have known Debbie for many years. She is a great real estate professional. The attribute that i liked most in her was her being open and truthful. She doesn’t hide her thoughts and gives her candid opinion. This helped me in making the right decision. She doesn’t force you one way or the other, but gives you the facts, her perspective, and lets you make the call. I was happy to have her on my side with my recent transactions.

— Shidhar S, Seller

Debbie listened very carefully to what we were looking for. Without wasting our time showing us homes that were not right for us, she was able to show us just the right house that we immediately made an offer on and purchased. She was right there following up with every closing issue, and made our purchase a delight. What a true professional, would definitely recommend her to a friend and use her again ourselves.
