As a Penticton native, I know and love this valley and with my “White Glove” network of trades and services I am able to assist you from the start to the finish of your Real Estate transaction and beyond. Buying or selling your home or business can be a stressful time and my past Coaching career gives me valuable insight into how to assist my clients through the process. My goal is to make the process as“peaceful and easy” for my clients as I can.. My friendly, caring personality and attention to detail has helped me to earn top Agent Awards from my brokerage,10 years in a row. If someone you know is ready to buy or sell a property I’m never too busy to take your referrals. I can help you find just the right home and I just might know someone that will love the one you are leaving… “Helping people is what I love to do and real estate allows me the opportunity to do this on a whole new level!” “It would be my honour to assist you on your journey.” “For that Peaceful, Easy feeling…” Debra

Debra was personable, friendly, knowledgeable and quickly responsive. It took us 8 months to sell our house on Vancouver Island and during that time, Debra very patiently supported all our questions and interests in the Okanagan. We had a long distance relationship most of the time, and Debra was always keen and helpful! - Peggy
Reply: Thank you Peggy. It was so nice to see you folks all settled in the other day. Looking forward to seeing the yard in the Spring!

It was a pleasure working with Debra, very down to earth and came across like a friend.

Reply: Thank you Meghan. I loved working with your lovely family. Glad we finally found you a place to call your own.
They did a good job, I do think the percentage for the sales are too much. That should be negotiated before signing up which I did not do. They do a good job and will do their very best to sell your property. - Don Whitecotton
Reply: Hi Don and thank you. I hope you are enjoying your new home. As a side note commissions percentages are discussed prior to listing as it’s part of the listing agreement made with the Brokerage. On top of that here is a disclosure presented in dollar format at the time an offer is presented. We actually work for a more reasonable rate than many plus we include extras like the iGuide, floor plans, video and on bigger properties like yours drone photography.
I found Debra to be extremely knowledgeable , professional and friendly at all times. She responded to questions and emails whenever she received them. I wouldn’t hesitate to tell people of my good experience with her - Laura Oben

We most highly recommend Debra Forma for your real estate needs. Ours was an international move, requiring many hours of zoom showings and some very long days in person. Debra was accessible and available, even on short notice, in a very hot market. She offers her professional expertise and advice without being overbearing and she always has the best interest of her clients as top of mind. Finally, she is just a darn pleasant person and we consider ourselves lucky to have worked with her. - Blaise Bahara & Bess Giannakakis
Reply: You guys are so sweet! I very much enjoyed working with you. There were a lot of moving parts but you conquered them like champions. I know you’ll love living here.

It is our pleasure to provide our comments of experience with our relator Debra Formo. Debra assisted us for approximately 4 years to find a vineyard and home in the interior.

A Master Agent who I would highly recommend. - Lorraine Loughren

A friend referred me to Debra. Debra and Ashley were super great, down to earth, and very skilled at their job. I purchased and sold a house with Debra this year. Their help with staging and the photos and video were excellent! Her complimentary moving van was also very appreciated! Prepping to sell a house is exhausting enough so having professional help to take care of everything else and help navigate through the process is such a relief. Thank you Debra and Ashley! - Tanya Luszcz

We used the services of Debra Formo to buy our new house in Oliver, BC. Debra understood exactly what we were looking for and only sent suggestions that matched our requirements. She was very flexible to schedule visits and accommodate all COVID related restrictions. Always available to help us with questions and assistance in all steps required to close the deal. Highly recommended. - Denis Westphalen
Reply: Thank you. We worked as a team with your family and video we got it done even with the challenges of the restrictions !
I have used Debra as my realtor for one sale and two purchases. Debra has a lot of knowledge of our area and paid attention to what I wanted to buy. She got the price I wanted for the place I sold and I bought what I had wanted, through her. - Eunice Burke

Debra has very comprehensive knowledge of Penticton and the surrounding area. She’s a life long Penticton resident which we found advantage versus other realtors we spoke to. We are from the coast and we felt she helped us discover what we wanted in a Penticton home based on our lifestyle. - Anna and Lino Di Lorenzo

Reply: Thank you. The market was moving at a pretty brisk pace and we had to move fast! I'm so happy that we managed to find you something.
Debra Formo was extremely knowledgeable and informative. We were living in the lower mainland so at times it was difficult to travel, and with the lack of inventory or the speed sales of properties were completing, we wouldn't have found our home without her tireless efforts. Debra went the extra mile whether that was a video conference walk thru or meeting at any hour for a viewing. She listened to exactly what our requirements were (which were many) and brought us the best properties to suit our needs. I will use Debra whenever I have the need again whether that be for sale or purchase. I have recommended her and will continue to do so. - Donna Lawrence
Reply: Thank you so much. I can't wait to see the finished product. You've already done so much work.
She went way beyond the call of duty. She helped clean the house and stage the house. She even hauled away at no charge to repurpose or scrap items/furniture we no longer wanted. We had 5 offers, all over asking, and that was due to her pricing strategy. Would HIGHLY recommend Debra to anyone. - R Barnhart G Nicholls
Reply: It was our pleasure working with you and your family. I am so glad that we were able to get the house sold for you so quickly.
Purchasing a property without setting foot on it would seem pretty daunting, but Debra went above and beyond to do a virtual walkthrough with us. We had chosen Debra as our realtor as we had met her previously when looking at other properties, so we felt comfortable handling the purchase remotely. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, professional and efficient realtor, we highly recommend Debra. - Heather Symes
Reply: Thank you so much. It was a pleasure helping you folks find a place to call home.
Debra is extremely knowledgeable and professional in all aspects of buying and selling in Penticton. She makes herself available to her clients and responds quickly to questions and queries. It’s refreshing to see a realtor work so hard for her clients! - Dom Morra

Debra has been our realtor for years. She has been helpful, patient, and just plain wonderful throughout the entire property search and purchase process. Her knowledge of the Okanagan, home renovation and building process, and real estate in general has been highly valued and appreciated.

Debra is an amazing real estate agent! We worked with Debra over the course of 18 months and viewed over 50 houses often during weekends and at times with only 2-3 days’ notice. She provided invaluable information on Penticton as a city, the overall housing market, and the neighborhoods that we were looking in. Our house choices changed radically over time from fixer-uppers to new builds and she remained patient and helpful every step of the way. Her sense of humor and professional guidance provided us a welcoming introduction to Penticton and we were able to find a great house that was exactly what we wanted. She has a tremendous network of local businesses and tradespeople that we have used to get settled into Penticton and this has provided a very smooth transition into Okanagan life. We would highly recommend Debra as an agent that has your interest at heart whether buying or selling and is always there to talk to. - Kary Troyer

Reply: Thank you Paula. You guys are one of the cutest little families I've met. I am so glad that you are enjoying your new home!!
I can't say Debra knew everything immediately, but what she could not answer right away she did the research to get me an answer very quickly. Very supportive and helpful dealing with the unknowns and surprises in buying and selling. - Kent Matthies
Reply: Thank you Kent- yes our journey was filled with interesting twists and turns- You folks were so great throughout it all you hung in there and I think we all learned more about septic fields than we would have liked!
