"Where to start with Debbie Van Horn? After working with Debbie on two home purchases and one sale, I can confidently say we would never even consider working with any other realtor. We firmly believe that Debbie is THE best in the area. She knows the communities and neighborhoods well, listens to your interests and has a sixth sense for guiding you to the best home to match your wants and needs. But that’s not all. I’m not sure when Debbie sleeps because there is never an hour that she doesn’t pick up my call and is always ready to turn around a contract or document on a moment’s notice. Debbie has many years of experience and thus has great contacts and quality vendors and inspectors. She’s a hard negotiator and will work tirelessly to get you the best deal and value for your purchase or sale. And best of all, Debbie is just an awesome person. She is friendly and fun. Buying/selling a home is a pleasant experience when you have such a wonderful, reliable realtor like Debbie Van Horn." - Melissa

"It was a pleasure working with Debbie, and she was able to get me the house that I wanted for a great price. When we first met to set up my search parameters, Debbie used a large map in her office to show me the different parts of town and surrounding areas. Her knowledge of the dominant traffic patterns and planned road expansion projects was extremely useful to home in on a few neighborhoods. During our first tour of a house Debbie pointed out potential issues with houses that were built in this area such as pressed wood siding and butylene water pipes. She also explained the process for buying a house in NC which I was not accustomed to. Debbie was always very quick to respond through SMS or phone calls which is critical in this seller’s market where good houses go under contract in just a couple of days. We made a cash offer on a short sale, and Debbie used her market knowledge to help me come up with a reasonable offer amount. During the negotiation phase with the sellers she made my best interest a priority rather than just pushing for an easy sale. Overall, Debbie is a very experienced and knowledgeable realtor, and her big network of people is a great resource in the due-diligence period. She is very easy to work with and makes touring houses fun." - Stefan

★★★★★
"Debbie is simply the best realtor that we could have ever asked for. She worked tirelessly to help our family find the perfect home in the perfect neighborhood! Debbie patiently answered all of our questions, and went above and beyond to make sure we had a smooth home buying experience. Even when we had challenges with the sellers at closing, Debbie was there to help us through the issue and keep us calm. I can't say enough about how professional, punctual and overall superb Debbie's work is! I recommend Debbie without any reservations. She truly is the best realtor in the Raleigh market! " - Clay

★★★★★
"Debbie was amazing in helping us with every step while we were building our custom home! She is highly respected by the builders and developers; along with their seller's agents in the SW Wake County area. We were so grateful she thought about things that we totally wouldn't have thought of along the way. She definitely knows how to effectively navigate and even streamline the process in negotiating with builders. She also handled all the logistics regarding our inspections, financing and closing arrangements. Hands down Debbie Van Horn is the BEST and we Highly recommend her as both a Buyers and Sellers Agent! " - Christy

★★★★★
"Debbie is hands down the best realtor we have ever worked with! We moved to NC from New England and did not know a lot about the area. Debbie took a ton of time to educate us on the different areas, the schools, builders, different neighborhoods, commute times for work and more. She was always quick to respond to all of our questions, day and night (and there were a lot)! Once we found a house and closed, she even helped us with local doctors, dentists, sports teams, etc. A relocation can be daunting, and without Debbie's expertise and knowledge, I'm not sure how we would have done it. She is amazing to work with!" - Cindy

About Debbie
Meet Debbie, Team  Founding Agent of Compass North Carolina 
Debbie Van Horn and Co 

Debbie has been selected as one of the Seven Founding Agents for Compass in Raleigh, North Carolina 

As a top real estate agent in the Triangle for nearly two decades, I take pride in watching the area flourish! I fell in love with the Triangle when my husband and I moved our young family here in 1995. Its potential was clear to me – an inviting Southern vibe complemented by impressive educational institutions, excellent employment opportunities, and a blended community supporting many different lifestyles. 

My success as a Top 10 Triangle Agent for the past 15+ years is a direct result of my dedication, work ethic, and conviction to be the Real Estate Expert in this area. I have sold more than 1200 homes in the Triangle with a hands-on marketing approach, honing in on my expertise in premarket home preparation to maximize my sellers’ profits. Over many years assisting hundreds of buyers, I have gained in-depth knowledge of Triangle area builders, schools, and communities. This experience enables me to advise my clients thoroughly and protect their investments.

What I cherish most of all is the relationships I’ve built with my clients. I have walked with them through the high times of booming markets, as well as painful years during the Great Recession. By focusing on my clients first, I have built a reputation as a highly dedicated, energized, and heartfelt person who takes enormous pride in guiding them before, during, and after any deal is closed. It is why the majority of my business is built on referrals and return clients.  Helping clients relocate to this area is an exciting, and sometimes scary, time for the client - no one helps a client settle into our area better than my team and I.

My Team!

I’ve built my business over the past 20 years as an individual broker working directly with buyers and sellers at all price points, averaging 65 transactions and $30+ million in sales per year. As the referrals have grown, I am committed to maintaining the same level of service to each of my clients, and am proud to be aligned with an expanding hand-selected team that share the same values. My teammates share the passion, work ethic, and in-depth knowledge of the Triangle area. My goal is to expand my personal, professional approach for current and future clients, offering them the highest level of service through every step of the home buying/selling journey. Our innovative thinking, focus, and knowledge of the market will exceed your expectations!
