Debra McLean

After over 20 years in the industry, Deb McLean can boast a return/referral rate of business of close to 100%. Integrity, a solid work ethic and a commitment to providing top-notch client service are among the many reasons her loyal clientele keep returning and referring other customers.

A long, windingly diverse path led Deb to the real estate world. A 1978 graduate of Luther College in Decorah, Iowa, Deb possesses bachelor’s degrees in Psychology, Biology, and Physiological Psychology with an emphasis in Sports Management. She has previously worked for the US Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs and the Wrestling Department of the University of Minnesota, among numerous other high-profile athletic administrative positions. Eventually, a gig doing award-winning real estate marketing turned into her current career of selling homes. “I realized one day that it was smarter to sell real estate than just do marketing for it,” says Deb. “It’s funny when I look back at my life and see all the different things I’ve done, and how each job has pushed me towards being a real estate agent. Everything I see as a plus in what I do comes from the diverse background I have. Real estate ended up being the thing I have never gotten bored of.”

Among Deb’s trademarks in the industry, is an accessibility that defines every single one of her client relationships and transactions. “One thing people comment on about me,” she says, “is that I’m very down to earth, very casual. That’s because I want my clients to feel comfortable and its all about them to me!!
