What People Are Saying About Debra Ford
From beginning to end of the sale, communication has been excellent. Deb has always been able to be contacted if not immediately, within minutes. Deb is always open to discussion and provided experience & knowledge of the property market & kept us well informed of advancement of the sale.
Debra’s & Stone Real Estate services are highly recommended.
We were completely out of our depth with the idea of buying our first home together. We knew nothing about anything, and everything went completely over our heads.
Deb was an absolute life saver. Not only did she listen to all our questions, no matter how stupid, but she helped calm us, and gave us great advice with what to do with our future. He are extremely thankful that we found our dream home, and that we had someone as experienced and has the expertise that Deb has.
If it wasn’t for Deb we wouldn’t have broken into the market, and would still be scratching our heads. Would recommend Deb and Stone Real Estate to everyone.
Excellent and professional agent highly recommend ⭐️
We were very saddened to leave what we thought was our forever home . Due to work commitments it meant we would have to relocate. We got in touch with Debra and straight away she became very empathetic about our situation. She left no stone unturned and made us both feel at ease. She went above and beyond to make it painless as possible for us . Always at the end of the phone for any enquires we might have . Thank you to the team that made this possible for us now to buy which will be our forever home.
Great Service
Deb is very honest, professional and knowledgeable. She handled our sale quickly and successfully, and nothing was ever too much trouble.

Friendly supportive and informative
Debra knows the market extremely well and everything she said would happen did. I became extremely overwhelmed and Debra was able to help me find solutions very quickly. I would definitely recommend Debra if you are thinking of selling.
Outstanding customer experience for all parties involved
Debra is a very honest and carrying sales agent that makes sure the experience is good for all parties involved. She took great care of the outgoing tenants of our property resulting in the tenant maintaining it well for all the inspections. She also went above and beyond managing some issues on the property prior to the settlement as we were interstate. Most importantly, she achieved a sales price above our expectations. We bought this property through Debra many years ago and it was a no-brainer to also sell it through her.

Very professional and helpful
Debra Ford from Stone Real Estate is a highly professional, enthusiastic, hardworking, and empathetic agent. She took the time getting to know us as people first, and then getting to know our property. Throughout the whole process, Debra kept us informed and explained what to expect from each part of the selling process. The marketing strategies she devised for our property were second to none. This demonstrates that Debra has an extensive knowledge of the current markets and how to best present our property.

We cannot thank Debra enough she went above and beyond in helping us with issues at council where we would not have know where to even begin hours of phone calls and emails day after day she had the situation sorted for usI found her to be very straight forward and told us how it is without beating around the bush.

Local Agent Local Knowledge
Deb was really the only agent we considered. She had been keeping us up to date on the local market for years. She let us know about every sale that occurred. Her service was first class, excellent communication and feed back throughout the selling process. Very easy and painless process. If you are thinking of selling, give Deb a call.
Thank you
“Thank you Debra for all your hard work with the sale of our home, we would highly recommend anyone to contact Debra to assist them with the sale or purchase of their home. Thank you”
She said it would be easy.
Debra said it would be easy and it was. Could not recommend more highly. Sold prior to listing, thanks to Debra’s efforts, at a great price. Fast and straightforward. Forever grateful. The Gannons.
Positive motivated agent
Debra provided me with a realistic price range that I could expect and we achived a bit higher than midway. The property was marketed using all modern channels and this resulted in strong interest and a quick sale. She kept me updated on how things were progressing as we went along. I am very pleased with the outcome and experience and recommend Debra if you have a house to sell in the coalfields.
I have no hesitation to recommend Deb Ford from stone Real Estate Kurri Kurri. I would recommend Deb Ford to help anybody make their dream come true. I found Deb a straight no nonsense, upfront and all round lovely person to deal with. PS thank you Deb for putting up with me and keeping me calm through the whole process.
Caring and relatable
Debra and the team made me feel so at ease through the whole process and really advocated for my property and getting the best price. I felt so comfortable and happy with the whole sale and would recommend her to anyone trying to sell!
Outstanding Knowledge & Service
Selling a property can be daunting at the best of times, add being out of the country and watch your stress levels rise. I obtained three valuations for the sale of this particular property, and Debra’s valuation was between $100k- $150k over the other 2 opinions.
One would think that would set alarm bells ringing. However, Debra’s knowledge of the local market, her track record, recent sales & comparables, and Debra’s straight forward/no-nonsense style gave me complete confidence in Debra’s ability to best represent us.
Not only did Debra have an off-market offer for us within 24 hrs (which we accepted), her valuation was spot on!
Debra has been accessible and communicative with ourselves and the buyer throughout the sales process, and has gone above and beyond in the level of service she provided. Debra has worked closely with DC Conveyancing and stepped us through the process with ease. If you are contemplating selling (or buying), do yourself (and your stress levels) a favour and give Debra a call. Highly Recommended!
Sold quick smart
Deb sold our house and our block with no hassles, for top money, in no time flat. Unbeatable local knowledge, great marketing and loads of buyers on data base made the difference. If you need to sell, give Deb a bell.
Our Experience with Debra Ford
As we sold our first home after 21 years, Debra responded with professionalism to our questions and assisted us in choosing the best options when on the market. Her market knowledge of the area is top notch. Her patience with guiding us throughout the stressful process made selling much easier. In our time dealing with Debra, she always came to us with a friendly, cheerful attitude. She was empathetic with us when we were presented with struggles, and was quick to get us back on the right track to sell our house. By the end of the sale, it was more so like speaking with a friend, rather than an agent. It was a pleasure to work with Debra and we are happy with the outcome selling through Stone Real Estate.
Confident and Caring
Debra listened to our happy and sad reminisces of our Family home. She gave us every confidence the home would be sold. Very respectful and caring and kept us updated at all times. Thank you Debra and your team. With Sincere thanks,
Excellent Service From A Wonderful Agent
We could not have been happier with the service Debra provided during the sale of our house. Her knowledge and experience along with her kindness and enthusiasm was the shining light that lead us through our Real Estate journey.
