Bio
Deb leads a specialty practice group of local and national experts dedicated to all aspects of Science + Technology (S+T) real estate. She is especially experienced advising users of technically complex, highly improved spaces as they navigate layered occupancy/exit strategies, frequently spanning multiple geographic markets throughout North America and around the globe. She utilizes a systematic and documented Process Management approach to maximize the opportunities available in any commercial real estate situation. Deb provides her clients with continuity and accountability via a single point of contact. Deb believes in a simple formula: deep understanding of the client’s business + analytical analysis (space use & market data) + extensive transaction experience = empowered clients, able to minimize the risk and operational expense of real estate while increasing efficiency and occupant satisfaction. Deb’s list of long-term clients, who rely on her multi-year guidance as their companies expand, contract, consolidate and spin out, is a true testament to her trust-based approach. Because of Deb’s exhaustive knowledge of life science company drivers and behavior, her input is highly sought after for speaking engagements and developers frequently seek her strategic advice on how to make/keep their projects desirable to users of highly technical space. Deb is a consistent C&W top producer within the firm and is widely regarded as one of the top life science real estate experts within the company. Because well over 90% of her work is S+T focused, she is nationally recognized as the dominate life science broker in the Southeast thus providing her clients with the highest levels of negotiating power, regardless of size.
