About
Debbie has consistently been one of the Number One producing agents throughout her career, including a record-breaking $100 million in sales volume before taking a break from her real estate career. She achieved success as a top agent for Re/Max and later for Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, where she ranked as one of the top agents by volume, nationally for the firm.
Later she founded Debbie Toohey & Associates where her long list of celebrity and business mogul clientele attested to the trust and confidentiality that her former agency and she offered. Her five year hiatus was a whirlwind filled with love and experiences in exotic places. She met and married the love of her life in a castle in Italy and together they have spent much of the past few years traveling around the world.
They are grateful to make their home in beautiful Palm Springs and she is super excited to once again represent the Ultimate Lifestyle!
