Deborah Solvason Realtor

Deborah Solvason is someone you want to work with. She’s extremely knowledgable, experienced, well liked by her colleagues and clients, competent, thorough, kind and thoughtful. We were house hunting casually for a few years without a realtor. We met Deborah at an open house she was hosting and just knew from our first meeting she was someone we wanted to work with. She tirelessly worked with us for almost over a year to find us the right home for our growing family. She also helped us to sell our previous home. She navigates the buying and selling process flawlessly. She knows the best in the business and helps her clients find not only what they’re looking for but is thoughtful in making sure the property is a good value. During the selling process she is an expert in finding resources to prepare your home for sale, staging, pricing and showing to get you the best return on your investment. There is not one thing negative about our experience with Deborah and we’re confident you’ll have the same experience.

I have used Deborah Solvason to buy and sell two homes. I’m not planning to move again anytime soon but I would use Deborah again and again. She is professional and personable, Deborah is knowledgable about all the ins and outs of real estate and knows Marin Co like the back of her hand. Buying a house in the Bay Area is a challenge, but with Deborah Solvason on your team you stand a great chance of getting the property of your dreams!

We first were acquainted with Deborah when she brokered the sale and purchase of my brother’s home. We were impressed of how she was on the ball, well connected and highly esteemed amongst her collegues in the real estate market.
We hired her and followed her advice to make some updates and changes to our home. It may seem tedious to follow the suggestions given, but Deborah has a long list of contractors that helped out in the process. The ultimate goal was for Deborah to get the best price for our sale. We plunked in $ 25,000 by maxing out our credit cards, and in 3 weeks our house was sold at a price we would have never dreamed of and we made money on our meager $ 25k investment.
On the purchase side of things in a sellers market she was there all the way. Every Thursday my wife would join her to see prospective houses at the brokers open. We were not going to accept ANY house, we wanted our dream home. Even with the discouraging losses to cash sales she never lost hope that we would find our home. And find we did, 4 months down the road, living in tight quarters at the larkspur court apartments, we got a call from Deborah telling us that she got us into a home that we felt was beyond our league. She negotiated with her collegue and made it happen.
Frankly, you cannot go wrong with Deborah, her underlying goal is to find families homes that will fulfill their needs. She demonstrated patience, empathy, and never got discouraged. She’s got the «Can Do» attitude and she has become a friend through our real estate adventure.

Deborah Solvason is a wonderful person and a fantastic realtor. I have used a number of realtors over the past 20 years in Marin and Sonoma Counties, and Deborah made the process of finding and buying a home so easy. She is truly professional, friendly and knowledgeable about the market and the process of doing inspections and securing financing.
She also has a great team of contractors to call on for painting, garden updating, roofing, inspections, and moving. She was working on four other houses at the same time as mine (over Christmas, no less) but I never felt like she was setting my needs behind anyone else’s.
Here is her contact information. Call her today if you are buying or selling a home in Marin County.

After making a move out of state, our house was listed for 2 years in San Rafael before finally selling in March 2013 with Deborah as our agent. We came close to selling before, but never closed escrow. Out of frustration we took it off the market to give us time to reset and start over. We had been very loyal to our prior agent and stuck with her for 2 years, eating a ton of money a month in carrying costs on an empty house. But at some point you think about the saying «insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result» and realize you have to make a change.
When we finally bit the bullet and made the decision to re-​list with a new agent I called Bradley Real Estate and asked «who is the best person in your firm to sell my house in San Rafael? «He immediately replied «Deborah Solvason». I called Deborah, and signed her up as the new listing agent.
Our entire experience with Deborah was first class from start to finish. She put in a huge effort to help us get the house ready for sale. When I first heard about the changes she was going to make in staging the house I was very anxious, but when I saw pictures of the result I said «WOW» and really liked it. She set realistic expectations on where the market was and what we were looking at in terms of price. And she quickly found a buyer and closed! I have been around the block on real estate for many years but I must say, my wife and I have never been impressed as much with an agent as we were with Deborah. She did an absolutely fantastic job in a fantastic way and I would STRONGLY recommend her and Bradley Real Estate to all my friends in Marin County.
