Description
Debi was raised in Cumberland and spent her summers in Harpswell with her grandparents. Her family settled on an 80-acre farm in Cumberland, and at age 11 she was gifted her first horse by her uncle. The farm continued to grow and ended up with 6 adult horses and several foals every year, plus sheep, pigs, chickens, cats, and two dogs. Debi went to North Yarmouth Academy and later graduated from the University of Maine, and continued to show horses all over New England during this time.
In addition to riding horses, Debi is a passionate sailor. After graduating, she helped deliver a sailboat from the Portland Yacht Club to Coconut Grove in Florida, where she lived for a time, and then later moved to Boston. Maine always called her home, and she moved back to open her own business in Damariscotta in the 1980s, Fox's Glass Works.
After running a very successful business, she sold it after 20 years and decided to dive right into real estate after a “two-week retirement.” At the time, her Designated Broker said she was the best “rookie” he had ever had. Her buyer and seller clients mean the world to her, and she is still close friends with several of them to this day. Debi goes the extra mile to work with buyers and sellers, who find her open, honest, flexible, and very detail-oriented.
Debi’s husband is a retired builder with historic ties to the area: his family was one of the original settlers and still owns part of the original homestead on the Kennebec River. The deed to the property was a land grant from the King of England, a gift in appreciation for his ancestor’s work as the customs agent for Salem and Marblehead. Debi and her husband have restored and rebuilt their home in Damariscotta and two cottages on the Kennebec River that they enjoy and use as rentals. Right now, they are in the process of restoring her husband's childhood home on the Eastern River. Debi has great knowledge and experience in restoring and rebuilding houses and brings this tremendous asset to her clients.
Debi is a member of the National Association of Realtors, has served on the Board of Directors of the Maine Association of Realtors for several years, and is the former President of the Lincoln County Board of Realtors. In 2010, Debi was also honored with the Realtor of the Year award.
Debi has lived in Lincoln County for 40 years, and her love of kayaking, sailing, gardening, skiing, photography, and painting folk art makes a great balance in her life and her love of Maine.
Client Testimonials
“Debi went above and beyond what I thought a broker would do. She arranged and attended house inspections, helped me decide on future contractors, when I didn’t know anyone. The sale wouldn’t have happened without her. There was no part of the process that I was disappointed with.”
"Debi goes the extra mile to work with buyers and sellers, who find her open, honest, flexible and very detail oriented."
