★★★★★
"Deborah Hansen and Marty Zier are top-notch professionals: They are service oriented, diligent, and extremely knowledgeable Realtors with vast experience in the Orcas Island Real Estate Market. Deborah and Marty listened to my wants and needs and successfully navigated me through the entire real estate process from showings to contract offers to closing. Deborah and Marty promptly provided me with valuable information and remained accessible throughout the process. I highly recommend them! -Lori "

★★★★★
"Marty and Deborah distinguished themselves in the following ways: They did a great job pricing our property. We had no idea that our house could command such a high price! Their many years of experience count. They insisted on carefully preparing the house for sale, offering both great guidelines and hands-on help. They engaged an excellent photographer who used both still photos and 3-D simulation to present the house in an ideal light—despite gloomy weather conspiring to make things difficult! Marty and Deborah prepare the houses they represent in advance and attend every showing. One might think that their attendance would be an annoyance to potential buyers, but on an island it is not. In practice, buyers and their agents always have questions about island life and, with Marty and Deborah present, those questions inevitably are directed at them. Once the questions start, Marty and Deborah effectively became the agents showing the house, with obvious benefits to us as sellers. During the sometimes tense interval between contract and closing, Marty and Deborah kept us apprised of progress along the way and stood at the ready to answer any questions, no matter how many or how small. Finally, at closing time, Marty helped us clear out the few remaining items that we needed to discard before handing the house over to its new owners. That was a big last-minute help. For all the reasons cited above and more, we most heartily recommend Marty Zier and Deborah Hansen for your next home sale. -Norman and Susan"

"We loved working with Deborah and Marty to find our forever home on Orcas. Their years of experience and knowledge were instrumental in helping us to find a home that fit our needs. They were patient and a joy to work with. We’d work with them again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Deborah and Marty. You are the best! -Greg and Lewis "

About Deborah
Deborah is beginning of her 27th year in real estate on our beautiful Orcas Island. She is thrilled to be a part of Compass family. The exceptional support staff allows her to focus more time and energy where it is most important—on the needs of her clients. She partners with Marty Zier who has been a broker on Orcas 30 years and has exceptional knowledge of all aspects of real estate transactions. For Deborah, the highlight of real estate is getting to know people from diverse backgrounds and experiences. It is a privilege to help people find their piece of the rock or, when the time is right, to sell and move to a new chapter. She utilizes her self- confessed "organizational junkie" traits to track details from start to finish. This allows her to orchestrate smooth transactions by walking clients through this complex process with clear communication. Deborah is consistently ranked in the top agents on the island for residential and land sales, bringing years of knowledge and expertise to each deal.

Deborah's family lived on Orcas when she was born but she spent her childhood on military bases around the country, where her father was stationed as an Episcopal Air Force Chaplain. Her parents retired to Orcas when Deborah graduated high school, and she spent summers on the island while attending Western Washington University. During that time she fell in love with this extraordinarily beautiful place and in 1990 Deborah and her husband moved to the island to raise their young family, a move she states as "probably one of the smartest decisions of my life"

A strong community supporter, Deborah has served on the board of numerous non- profit organizations over the past 20 years, including President of both the Orcas Island Association of Realtors and The Funhouse Commons. Outside of work, Deborah enjoys hiking the 52 miles of trails around Moran State Park or up Turtleback Mt. Now that her children are grown, Deborah is excited to be turning more energy to learning home maintenance and repairs through a hands-on approach with her 1914 craftsman home in Rosario.
