Where do I begin with this review because I have nothing but PAGES of wonderful things to say about this team!!!! We knew when we were going to list our WoodRanch home in Simi that Debbie Gates would be the ONE! She is very well known and super connected!

I loved working with Brook too! I told Brook that she was like family with how much we spoke on the phone about all the troubles. It was out of Debbie and Brooks hands, and yet they made everything happen for us to have our dream home, DURING COVID!!!!! I never want to move again, but if I did, I would ONLY use Debbie's Team! Even my MIL is looking at a home and buying through Debbie and Brook! I have nothing but amazing things to say about them and I truly enjoyed working with the best real estate team out there!!!!! read more

You want Debbie to be your agent. Plain and simple. Debbie has been such a blessing and gift during a huge life transition such as this. She came in confidently with an effective strategy to not only list and sell our current home fast, but get us into our dream home. At the same time! She could not have made the transition more seamless. She got us top dollar, over asking, for our current place and used her excellent relationships in the industry to introduce us to our dream home simultaneously. She communicated wonderfully with us through every step of the process. We can't recommend her highly enough! read more

I have used Debbie twice now as my realtor, and both times I was extremely impressed by her work ethic, helpfulness, and knowledge of basically everything related to housing. Debbie just helped me complete a very complicated transaction where I was both buying and selling, and the buying was contingent on the selling of my condo in a very short time frame. She expertly juggled everything with both the buyer and seller, while also patiently walking me through the process. Not only is Debbie excellent, but she has a network of excellent people she referred me to, so that I always felt like I had the best person on my team at every step of the process. In short, Debbie is a great person to have on your side through the home buying process; I can't imagine ever using another realtor! read more

I was very impressed with Debbie's work ethic with us being the buyers on one of the homes she was selling. She shared details of the home and most importantly for us, the neighborhood to genuinely inform us what the price was buying and not making it a hard sale. Debbie has an amazingly magnetic personality and very easy to work with- felt that she had the best interest and worked hard for both her clients and us buyers to make the transaction go smooth. The best part of her customer service is that she has resources galore- for any maintenance or upgrades we've looked at doing-she has shared some great referrals our way that have gained our business! She's definitely gets 2 thumbs up on top of the 5 star service for all her time and effort invested on us! read more

Debbie was on top of it!! She made things easy and knows the answers to all the questions!! We highly recommend her!!! Thanks Debbie!!

We ended up using Debbie to help us look for a house and she was amazing. Our bank had screwed up on our preapproval but she didn't miss a beat and gave us a suggestion on who to use.

You should do yourself a favor and call her for any real estate needs, you'll thank yourself later. read more

She is extremely professional, intelligent, trustworthy, and warm-hearted. She still continues to help us with things when we need advise even after closing the deal.

We will never use anyone else in real estate but her and will recommend her to anyone buying or selling their home! We are so grateful to have worked with her! read more

I started working with Debbie a few weeks back when a house came up on the market that she was the realtor for. I emailed her inquiring about it and she responded so quickly ! There was an open house that same night and I had a prior commitment , she worked it out for me to get in the next day. From that point forward , she was attentive, receptive to my needs and wants and gave us everything we needed in the timeframe and got accepted for the house~ meanwhile she is helping me get my other house ready to be put on the market and I have without a doubt , she will sell my other home in the matter of minutes as soon as we list it ! I have complete faith and trust in her and she has walked me through the process and has been nothing but fabulous ! We love Debbie ! :) read more

Debbie is the complete package in a realtor. She has a twin or doesn't sleep at night because she has every detail (and I mean every detail) covered before you even know about it. She's a special one of a kind. Consider yourself lucky if Debbie represents you. Thank you Debbie for your unbelievable dedication. read more

15 years ago I met Debbie when our girls who are now seniors in college, were in kindergarten. Usually you never want to mix friendship and business but honestly, we were watching the way sales were going in Wood Ranch and knew she was the best option when trying to find our dream home. We really needed a bigger house but didn't want to leave our beautiful neighborhood! Her face was on every sign in our neighborhood for a reason and we knew it. We told her exactly what we were looking for and after looking at many houses, Debbie helped us by representing us as buyers in the purchase of our dream home. The house, that we still live in today, came on the market ON Thanksgiving. We both had turkeys in the oven, yet she picked up the phone and said the house was ours, immediately going to work to ensure it! The woman never stops working when she's needed! Seriously. She was successful in keeping all of the investors away who were trying to outbid us on the house while we obtained our pre- qualification and approval. It was a short sale so it was a steal at that point in the market. Debbie worked so hard from that moment on because it was a short sale and it was not an easy one! The banks went back and forth needing more documentation and Debbie worked tirelessly with us until the minute escrow closed to be sure we closed the deal. 12 years later we decided to sell our old house since the market was at a peak. This was the rental investment property that used to be our home before moving into our dream home. Her knowledge and expertise has been untouchable. She said it was the exact right time to sell and she was right. She said to jump and so we did! No one in Simi knows the market like Debbie Gates. How do I know this to be true? Our rental property just sold for the TOP price ever sold in that same neighborhood in over 18 years! This time, she worked through not one escrow but two since the first one fell through due to loan issues with the buyer. Within three days the house was sold again for the exact same price. While we were stressed out and scared as mortgage interest rates were climbing, Debbie kept us calm and also kept the deal from falling apart with buyers who purchased the house without one in-person viewing. Our rental property's lawn was in awful shape right at the end of escrow and Debbie even offered to come to the house to put down soil and seed. Who does that?! Debbie! She is always willing to go the extra mile. Sidenote-she also has a Rolodex the size of this state of people to call for any and all problems as they pop up! We had a licensed repairman per her recommendation to assist with repairs and quotes while dealing with the sale. When our house finally closed escrow last week, she showed up at our door with the champagne. When representing the buyer, she proves to get the LOWEST purchase price in the neighborhood. When she represents the seller, she gets the HIGHEST sales price in the history of an area. We couldn't be more grateful as we are sitting in our dream home for 12 years knowing we chose our realtor well. We are forever grateful for Debbie and the fact that she has been my friend now for 15 years just is the cherry on top! We treasure her immensely and have had more friends use her as a realtor than we can count. She's the best! Thank you Deb!!! read more

Debbie is in a word phenomenal. In a career with frankly a bunch of people who want your business but have no idea what to do with it once they get it, she is the kind of realtor who is truly in it to make her clients hit their goals....the kind of realtor you need. I met her first on the buy side as the representative for the house I ended up buying. I didn't even want to look in the neighborhood, but after I heard my realtor take the fourth call from Debbie telling her to take us to the house, we went over. She was more on the money than my realtor was. It was exactly what we wanted. And she fought tooth and nail for her sellers. That was almost a decade ago. Through the years Debbie has saved deals when they looked like they were lost due to challenges with lenders and she has represented several friends whose initial Realtors weren't getting the job done. There just isn't anyone more knowledgeable about the local market, and how to navigate getting a deal done. read more

Amazing, Great and friendly realtor! We loved working with her. She helped put our first time buying fears to rest. She explained how the entire house buying process went.

We feel like she gave us the best friend treatment when we've really just met. read more
