Her own humble beginnings sparked a passion to share the secrets of economic empowerment and wealth building with others. Her personal journey took her from being a recipient of public assistance to entrepreneurial success. She gets tremendous joy out of watching clients pursue and accomplish the dream of owning their own home, especially if they felt that limited cash resources and “challenged” credit would prevent them from ever accomplishing their goal. As Deborrah says, “It’s amazing to watch what happens when someone commits to owning their own home! Our role is to simply provide useful information and resources, while mentoring the client through the process, after which, we celebrate their success!”
Deborrah’s belief is clearly stated – “Success begins with a vision. When you add the power of faith, focus, determination and action, that’s key to purpose and great achievements.”
Deborrah (also known as “Dee”) has a positive attitude about life. She’s grounded by her unmovable faith, which leads her to live each and every day to the fullest, manage the distractions, and thank God for His grace.” With all that Deborrah has accomplished, she considers the role of being a mom her greatest challange and priceless joy.
