About:

Deborah knows a thing or two about major moves. As a military child and as an adult, she has endured 27 major moves…interstate, intrastate, and international. Deborah knows a thing or two about major moves. As a military child and as an adult, she has endured 27 major moves…interstate, intrastate, and international. She has bought and sold 7 homes in 5 states including 2 new homes, and has renovated older homes. She understands the concerns of buyers and sellers, the pressures that both experience, and what they expect from their Realtor.

Deborah’s family hails from New Orleans, LA, but she was born in Virginia and her father currently resides in Huntsville, Alabama. She holds B.S. (mathematics/statistics) and MBA degrees from the University of Alabama, and a Ph.D. in strategic management/international business from the University of South Carolina.

Her industry experience was quite diverse...banking, telecommunications, computer consulting, shipbuilding, and government contracting. As evidence of the merger mania, none of the companies she worked for bear their original names. Occupations were also very diverse including industrial engineer on nuclear submarines, systems analyst, payroll supervisor, and finance manager. She has established or helped to establish new departments and companies within existing companies and has negotiated contracts with subcontractors and the U.S. government. She is a firm believer in “win win” negotiations.

Feeling the need for a major career change and a desire to help others realize their goals, Deborah left industry, obtained her Ph.D. and taught college for several years. During this time period, she was selected as a Malone Fellow in Arab/Islamic Studies (traveling to Saudi Arabia and Bahrain for 3 weeks) and was the only academic selected to attend the 2000 Air Force War College Symposium. There have been other awards over the years, but the one that touches her most is the Golden Apple Award from Jacksonville State University's student government. Many of her students, both American and international, have kept in touch with her.

A lover of the outdoors, Deborah enjoys several activities and has taught sailing in South Carolina and snow skiing in Colorado. She won several awards as the skipper of her Hobie 14 cataraman. She shares her home with three cats or it may be more accurate to say they allow her to live with them.

As a Realtor, Deborah enjoys working with people and exploring properties. As a former educator, she is adept at explaining complex concepts and working with people from various backgrounds with humor and patience. Let Deborah utilize her energy, enthusiasm, negotiating skills, and other resources to help you accomplish YOUR real estate goals. ... show more

Asked Sat Dec 5 2009, 05:56 by Sharon Mann - Property Q&A in Asheville - 3 answers

Deborah Francis answered:

Hi Sharon,

As the other agent indicated, this property is under contract. There are 3 other properties available in the same neighborhood of well-kept manufactured homes. However, they are not quite as large as 326 Camelia. The home on 237 Magnolia Way has over 1800sf versus the 2000sf for 326 Camelia, but has the same size lot....almost .5 acre. However, it is also under contract. The other 2 properties are smaller. One you may want to consider is 231 Magnolia Way as it is 1344sf on .4 acre and is bank-owned. Hence it is being sold as is, but at a very good price...$58,842.

Let me know if I can help you further. You can check me out on my website, as well as, search for properties.
