Debbie Buffelen

REALTOR, ASP, SFR, CPRES, PSA
License Number: 73812

As a real estate professional, my job is to provide a service and it is my goal to exceed your expectations with the level of service that I provide.  I will work hard to make your transaction successful and smooth all the while giving you the best value.

I understand that buying or selling your home is about what is best for you and your family and I will keep your best interest in mind the entire time.  From helping you price your home to the final negotiations or selecting the perfect neighborhood and price point – I will be there through every step of the transaction.

I live and work in the communities I represent. That is why I specialize in the South King County neighborhoods.  I fully understand the importance of community, local schools, and the lifestyle that’s important to your family.  As an expert in Northwest Real Estate specializing in the Eastside, I can offer you both a professional and personal approach to your home buying or selling experience.

A little about me: I live on a small lake with my husband, 2 dogs, 3 goats, and many chickens. We have a great place for our 10 and counting grandchildren to enjoy nature, outdoor activities and learn the love of animals.   I have lived in the Northwest since the 1970.  I hold not only certifications in Real Estate, but also a Certified Nutritional Therapist. I have over 32 years of sales, marketing, and customer service experience.  I have worked with many real estate transactions and projects over the 14 years as a broker and 9 years of that as a designated broker.  I opened my office (previously as Better Properties Real Estate) in downtown Snoqualmie in 2007 and since relocated to North Bend.  I have transitioned my office to more of a progressive real estate company that offers my clients the best technology and marketing bar none. My passion is to continue to build my business by helping others to achieve their dreams and goals through real estate ownership. 

Experience has its rewards!

Kresa and John Dreher recommends Debbie Buffelen

We just wanted to take time to provide a recommendation for Debbie and her team. We have worked with her for the past several years with a rental. When it came time to selling our house, she made it an easy choice to choose her.

She assisted us with navigating the entire process including recommending what updates needed to be done, what those updates should be, helped us source who could do necessary repairs and provided all the staging and photos needed in order to list the house for the best $ amount. If Debbie could do something herself, she did.

We don't often get to work with someone with such a high work ethic. As clients who were navigating the process from 3 hours away, we couldn't have been luckier.

We would highly recommend Debbie and her team to anyone who is in need of a Real Estate Professional. Regards, John and Kresa

Debbie was absolutely wonderful! My husband and I were kept in the loop and had good communications with Debbie during the entire process. She was supportive and proactive and worked non-stop on our behalf to ensure our home was sold efficiently and to our satisfaction. You won't be disappointed!
If you're in the market to buy or sell, Debbie and Michella will provide excellent and supportive care throughout the entire process!

They did a great job creating a video of my house and I think it played a huge part of why it sold so fast! They listened to our ideas when it came to selling our house and worked very quick until closing. Thank you!

Jamie & Calvin Coates recommends Debbie Buffelen

Words cannot express how thankful and blessed we were to have Debbie as our agent. She walked us thru every step of the process and was very transparent with what needed to be done on our end and gave us realistic expectations and her honest opinions. Everything that we could have wanted in a real estate agent we found in Debbie, she truly is the best. We cannot imagine how different it could have been without Debbie and she is now a part of our family and we will definitely use her in the sale of our current home purchase of our new one.

Eric james recommends Debbie Buffelen

Debbie did such a wonderful job at assisting my wife and I in finding a forever home. During the house hunting process, she would look at the home as if she were buying it herself and point out the things that concerned her about each home and what the highlights were as well. She was straightforward and honest about every placed we viewed. You can tell she is really passionate about her job and helping others find their perfect home. Her experience in her field really shows. I highly recommend her.

Debbie Buffelen really worked for us while handling the management and sale of our house plus property near North Bend. In fact, she did it all. At least that is how we feel about it. If we had more property to sell or manage, we'd be calling her first.

Debbie was extremely helpful in the entire process of hunting for, making an offer and negotiation with the buyer of our new house.

Debbie helped me with a really tricky, unorthodox land purchase, and I'm confident her expertise and support were the differentiating factors in closing the deal. Her knowledge of the pros and cons of the areas we were considering, combined with her understanding of what we as prospective landowners were looking for, made her an indispensable resource on our endeavor. I highly recommend Debbie Buffelen for your real estate needs in Western Washington!

Luis Dominguez recommends Debbie Buffelen

Awesome job! I moved from California and she gave me her honest opinion about neighborhoods which helped a lot since I was not familiar with the area. Thanks to Debbie I was able to get a great house with an amazing view and close escrow just after my move to Washington. Looking forward to working with her in the future.

Gary Huskey recommends Debbie Buffelen

We happened upon Debbie's office by chance and with no appointment we just wandered in. She was immediately helpful and clearly new realestate. She became our agent and within 2 days we were putting an offer on a house. Nothing but good things to say about both Debbie and everyone that works with her. She and her team were very professional and super responsive to any and all inquiries/questions I had. I would highly recommend Debbie to anyone looking for a house in and around the Seattle area. They were a great team to work with.

Michael Lawson recommends Debbie Buffelen

I owe a debt of gratitude to Debbie and her team! Not only did she help me get my dream home, but she made me and my family feel welcome. Debbie is a consummate professional who really knows and understands the challenging Seattle real estate market. During my home buying process, Debbie and her team kept me in the loop and in "the know" about everything that was going on, every step of the way. It was seamless and I felt like Debbie truly was working with my best interests in mind. I am completely amazed how quickly things moved once our offer was accepted and how absolutely flawless this transaction was executed. I whole heartedly recommend Debbie and the NextHome NW Experts!
