Debra Kovacs of CENTURY 21 Award. Top agent Worldwide. I started in Real Estate in Coto De Caza and from great demand I grew to its surrounding areas and now cover all areas of Orange County. I have been able to work with wonderful clients over and over throughout my career. Many of my Clients I have had for over 20 Years of my Career. It is my pleasure to be affiliated with Century 21 Award, a Premier, locally operated Orange County Real Estate Firm. I have been in the Real Estate Industry for over 30 Years and through those years I have learned that there are many qualities and skills that go into being an excellent Realtor. In my opinion, the most important is the ability to discover and address the diverse needs, wants, expectations and concerns of different home sellers and buyers. This ability can only come through really caring about people, together with a whole lot of practical experience and education.

It's proven that a team always outperforms an individual, and at the Sackin-Stone Team, we've taken that to the next level. The individuals that make up our team bring diverse backgrounds, talents, skills, and personalities to our business. The result is our unparalleled passion to make a true difference in every buyer and sellers’ life. As we celebrate our 30th anniversary, we are super grateful to be serving the third generation of many of our thousands of loyal past clients. We are not like most 'teams', that have a superstar figurehead that is never seen once the paperwork is signed. We've learned that building trust and value is a one-on-one situation. Each of our clients has their dedicated primary agent who's fully engaged from the start of the transaction to the successful close. As needed, the other team members will step in with their unique expertise to guarantee all clients receive our time tested Different And Better service proposition. It's no coincidence why we have 300+ FIVE-STAR reviews online. (check them out!) We'd like to apply for the job as your Realtor today, becoming your trusted advisor for your real estate transaction, and if we've earned it... become your REsource for life!
