When we purchased our home, Deb made herself readily available whenever we needed her assistance. She was honest and reliable and helped make our buying experience easier. Would highly recommend!
Deb helped me sell my home in the time frame I needed to and is always willing to go the extra mile to provide superior service. She is honest and very on top of current market trends which are key in accurately pricing a home to sell. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an agent.
Deborah is a true professional. She negotiated on my behalf throughout the entire transaction. She understands how to work with buyers, sellers, agents, lenders, etc. Her years of experienced helped on several occasions to alleviate potential problems.
Deb is the definition of professional!!! We had a straight forward relationship that made working on the sale of our house expedient and stress free. Well as stress free as the sale of any house ever is however in the 9 houses I've sold this transaction rates as the best.
We've had the most remarkable experience selling our home with 'Deb', it's hard to describe. From day one she listened to our needs, helped us fine-tune our home for showings, and went above and beyond her duties when photos needed changing or the website needed tweaking. Her advice and experience helped us immensely and we are grateful beyond words.
We cannot recommend Deb highly enough! Let's start with her fun, straightforward personality and add to the that the utmost in professional, honest, knowledgeable of the market and care and concern about her clients. Her keen eye and great suggestions assisted in making our house look its best when it hit the market. She then calmly guides you through the process making it all look easy when it wasn't. Deb is enjoyable to work with and will be your biggest asset in buying, selling or leasing your next home.
We found Deb to be extremely knowledgeable and helpful regarding our latest real estate transaction. Her knowledge of the area, including her professional and straightforward approach yielded the best results for us, while at the same time maintaining constant contact and apprising us of any curves and wrinkles! Highly recommended.
I have known Deb for several years. She has helped me with property management/rental and sales. She is service oriented, organized, and offers sound advice. I would highly recommend Deb for any real estate needs.
We were down sizing from a large two story home in Camarillo to a single story golf course home in Palm Desert. Deb helped us navigate through so many decisions, and truly made the process easier then it would have been without her. Deb was very patient and thorough, and a consummate professional. We would highly recommend Deb for all real estate needs.
Buying and selling a house is one of life's most stressful events, adding incredible strain on relationships with friends and family. Having a good realtor work through the challenges is critical to the process. A consummate professional with a keen eye for detail and a strong moral compass, Deb was a vigorous advocate for us on both ends of the transaction and managed to keep us sane in the process. Deb seemlessly guided us through the process of selling our old house, buying our new one, renting and remodeling, all without a hitch, all in record time. She inspires the utmost confidence. We trust her with our animals and our kids! Deb is truly the best out there. I wish we had found her sooner!
Deb is an outstanding agent who goes above and beyond for her clients. I have a unit that I was renting out (I actually live out of town) and Deb represented the renter. When there was a water leakage from the fire sprinkler system in the first week, Deb stepped in and helped to liaison between the renter, myself, the contractors, and the HOA manager. My agent was nowhere to be seen during this time, and it was such a testament to me of Deb's work ethic and commitment to provide service throughout the process. I would highly recommend her as an agent, and I will definitely be calling her when I rent out/sell any properties in the LA area.
My family and I rented a house from Deborah Kernahan for 2 months after we had a flood in our home. The house, correction HOME, we rented from Deborah is wonderful. It is warm and welcoming. Deborah is always there to help out, check how our experience is and seeing if there is anything else she can do to make our stay more enjoyable. Deborah is accessible and accommodating. I rarely give 5 stars...but truthfully, if I could give 10 stars I would. I would recommend Deborah to anyone looking to rent a house. She is AMAZING!
I am a veteran of many household sales and moves and could not be more pleased and impressed than I am with Deb. She was extremely sensitive and responsive to my individual needs while guiding and providing expertise at all the right times. I found her to be extremely transparent and trustworthy--a true professional in all aspects of pricing, marketing and negotiating while utterly reliable with all administrative and practical aspects of our sale and move. Deb truly models the professional, ethical and expert role of the very best of realtors.
Deb helped our family by executing both a sale of our old home and a purchase of our new home concurrently. Both transactions became complex and challenging. Deb rose to the occasion with consistent and responsive communication, support and professionalism. Navigating emotions, expectations, negotiations and all that goes into these transactions can become all consuming. Deb offered support on all fronts and was a great team player. I would recommend Deb for either a sale or purchase of a home. Thanks again Deb for all your efforts!
We relocated to Thousand Oaks from Orange County and Deb was there to help not only find our family a home, but help us to learn the area surrounding and with in Thousand Oaks. She went above and beyond during our process doing everything she could to make sure we were getting what we wanted and not over paying. She is more than just our realtor she has become our friend.
Deb has been our trusted realtor and friend for some time now. Most recently she not only helped us secure great tenants for our rental home, she increased our monthly rental & secured a two year lease. Deb is always willing to go the extra mile to make sure all the details are covered and everyone is very happy with the outcome. The tenants love their new home, we love our new tenants! Whether it is the termite company or painter, she is knows who to call and is always there for you. She knows and cares about the neighborhood as much as we do and it shows. Regardless of your real estate needs, you will find Deb listens, negotiates and works tirelessly on your behalf. She raises the bar every time we work with her!

My husband and I are at a point in life not knowing whether to downsize or try to stay in our home. She had so much information for us, such as an estimation of our home's worth, lending options, including refinance or reverse mortgage. She spent a lot of time with us taking notes and trying to answer all our questions. If she did not have the answer she researched and found out. I am very impressed with Deborah and highly recommend her for all your Real estate needs.
Deb sold my home of 20 years in Calabasas so I could move into a 55+ community in Palm Desert. Deb helped me with everything! From decluttering, to staging my home to getting top dollar for my home. She never stopped negotiating and caring for my needs. I love her like a daughter. I am so lucky my son introduced me to her. Downsizing isn't easy. I don't think I could have done it without her.
I was referred to Deb by another agent, and I’m glad I was. From the outset, I felt comfortable with her. I also felt like I was in experienced, capable hands. I had grown tired of apartment living for me, my girlfriend and daughter, and decided to house-hunt in the madness that was 2015. We saw a number of “turn-key” properties and submitted offers on at least 6 of them. We happily lost out to buyers willing to pay well over asking price. We grew frustrated, but Deb preached patience. And, it was during our “patience period” that we changed our strategy and searched for a “fixer upper.” I wasn’t eager to bear the renovation costs, but the upside was that we could customize the home and the property taxes would be based on a lower purchase price. We found a “fixer upper” and closed escrow in September, 2015. Deb and I were in constant contact during the escrow period and I appr…

We moved in over the Thanksgiving weekend, after about 11 weeks of renovations. Deb will be my agent until she retires, or until I’m six feet under, whichever comes first :)
My husband and I met Deb at an open house in July, 2015 where she assured us she would be patient and work with us in finding our perfect home. Deb kept her promise and through her efforts we now have a new home. As we were unfamiliar with the area, Deb showed us many homes in different communities, until we found a house that we will now call home. Throughout the process, Deb remained positive, provided great insights, was focused on our goals and was always professional. We would highly recommend her for your real estate needs.
Deb is simply THE BEST! She worked her butt off with us for the year and a half we spent searching for our dream home. From finding homes, to handy mans, to picking up our mail- no job was too big or too small for Deb. I would recommend her to anyone. She is not just our realtor, but our friend and family for life!
Deb was extremely helpful with the cleanup, repair, staging, advertising and rapid sale of our property. She was especially kind to our grandsons who were leaving the property. She was on top of every detail.
We spent almost two weeks in this lovely home. Our hosts Deb and Chelsea were so great to work with. When we had any questions we received immediate responses - that was above expectation! The kitchen was well stocked and had very nice high-end appliances which made it great for cooking. The furniture including the beds were so comfortable and clean. The backyard was also well appointed with comfortable furniture - it is a beautiful relaxing oasis. Great location, so close to the highway but yet quiet. The biggest disappointment was having to leave. Can't wait to come back. Thank you for making our stay so relaxing and worry free.
Deb Kernahan represented my wife and I as both buyers and sellers. She helped us get top dollar for our house and sold it in less than a month. She took care of so many details and made the process as smooth as one could hope for. She also helped us find our current home, an 8 month process during which she remained remarkably patient with our choosiness (we were in no rush to move and were looking for our dream house). She quickly got to know what we were looking for and never wasted our time showing us homes that weren't appropriate. And in the end we bought our new home for several hundred thousand less than what our lender appraised it for! Highly recommend Deb.
We bought and sold a home with Kernahan and Associates, and we loved it! They were very involved and kept us informed of all things. They negotiated for us non stop. They treated us like family, and now we consider them a part of ours! We don't just like them, we love them. Highly recommend the team. The Beth Family
Look no further...you've found the best. As a supremely skilled, full service professional, Deb did a brilliant job selling our home, from the early stages of decluttering, through the day escrow closed, and beyond. Within a week of listing, we received 5 serious offers, resulting in a speedy, top dollar sale. Due to her advice and negotiations, we broke a new price barrier for our neighborhood. All the while, Deb remained a calming force in a sea of fast paced chaos, a trait which I found invaluable.
Deb made the stressful process of selling my home as comfortable and as smooth as possible. We agreed to a competitive pricing strategy that would obtain a quick sell and avoid overpricing that might lead to longer market time, an issue I see all too often. Deb aggressively marketed the first open house, and her efforts paid off. The home received excellent attention at the open house, and resulted in several prospects. Ultimately, Deb was also able to bring the buyer to the table as well- a person she had targeted in her market strategy. She dealt with both sides of the deal professionally and with the utmost attention to detail. From list to close, the entire transaction went as smoothly as could be expected, and I received a full price for my home. I could't recommend an agent more.
First of all, Deborah is friendly and personal, and it feels like you have your best friend looking out for you. She takes her time to understand your needs and wants for a future home, and are bend on finding the right home for you. She is also very straight-forward in the sense that she will let you know if she feels the house you are viewing is not right for any reason (too far to a school, not children friendly, a money pit, or priced outrageously etc.). She is not pushy in her opinions, but merely let you know so you can take it into consideration. Second, Deb and her assistant Chelsea are extremely helpful and will go out of their way to assist you. Through the 2-year process of finding the home that was right for us, Deb has been very patient with us. And when we found it, Deb and Chelsea helped us through inspections, as we were unable to be onsite due to work in NorCal. Thir…

Third, even after we closed on our new wonderful home, Deb and Chelsea have remained helpful with advice and referrals for handymen, gardeners, interior designers etc. which is of essence when you are from out of town. And every one of those referrals have been excellent and reasonable priced. To sum it all up, we cannot say enough good things about Deb - she is really one of a kind, and I can wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to find their new home.
I had a great experience selling my home with Deb Kernahan. Deb is highly knowledgeable and professional and responsive to her client's concerns. She is the absolute best!
We recently sold our home with Deb Kernahan and team. From day one we had support with every project. From pre-listing home improvements to some simple staging items. We made some improvements that showed off a previously somewhat hidden view from our yard and took night shots to enhance the look and feel of our private gated driveway lined with outdoor lighting and landscape. Our first impression to interested buyers was impressive. Our open house launch weekend had a tremendous turnout resulting in multiple offers with a sales price of $100,000 over asking. The team continued to negotiate on our behalf as well as manage some difficult situations throughout our escrow. We are thankful in so many ways and could never have done it without Deb! Highly recommended.
We met several agents throughout the day at various open houses one Sunday. Just when we thought we were done for the day we chanced upon a quaint home in Agoura Hills and were greeted by the lovely Deborah Kernahan. She had a warm approach, was genuinely friendly, and very knowledgeable as she answered my many inquiries about the house. What struck me most about Deborah was her ability to make us feel at home like we were old friends rather than prospect buyers which shows her sincerity, patience and willingness to help. I not only made an immediate decision to purchase the house but hired her instantly as my agent. Her services went over and beyond. She understood my requirements and current position which led her to help me further by making fantastic recommendations for other services needed with regards to purchasing the house which is now my home that my kids and I love.

Deborah is simply amazing! She assisted us with several transactions at the same time and kept us on track. Regardless of how many questions we asked, she was knowledgeable in every aspect from start to finish. She guided us on how to prepare our home for sale from staging to preparation for the open house and simultaneously educated us towards the successful purchase and close of escrow of our new home. We had daily communication with her and/or her impressive team and never felt alone in the process. She is incredibly hardworking and always has a smile on her face and most of all, we appreciate her integrity and professionalism. We would not hesitate to work with Deborah again in the future.
Our family decided to relocate from Sherman Oaks to Agoura Hills to take advantage of the wonderful community and school district. We met Deb at an open house in Morrison Ranch and felt comfortable immediately. After looking for several months we decided to make the move. Deb ended up assisting us with everything from organizing and staging our home to buying in our desired Agoura Hills neighborhood. Deb was with us every step of the way. Thanks to Deb’s support and efforts, we received multiple offers on our home sale and ended up accepting an offer over asking price. In addition, we purchased a home in our desired neighborhood and paid below market value. Deb continued to negotiate time and time again, on our behalf, and even helped us when we had questions after the close of our home purchase.
I knew Deborah was a realtor, but I never knew how good she could be! My family was downsizing from a home we lived in 30+ years; not only was that a daunting experience, buying a new home was equally the same. Deborah was there from start to finish offering not only her expertise and understanding of the market, but encouragement throughout the whole process. It was amazing to think we could sell our home and be moved into a new one in less than 45 days - but it happened. There is no way this could have been accomplished without Deborah's vigilance, commitment and determination to make it all happen. She and her team are truly "diamonds in the rough" and we would encourage anyone to reach out to Deborah ... she will be in your corner the whole time. Thank you Deborah and Compass!!!
Deb is fantastic at her job. From the beginning she explained the whole process to me as i was a first time buyer. She got to know me and what i was looking for in a home. The first home she showed me ended up being the home i purchased. Talk about great instinct!
Deb was a joy top work with. She was really attentive and made sure that all our questions and concerns were addressed. We have remained close to her, which is such a lovely thing. She really is a wonderful woman and realtor.
A good referral is invaluable. My husband and I were faced with the daunting task of selling a home that belonged to a family member who unexpectedly passed away. Adding to that fact, we had never lived in the home and we live out of town. We had a huge undertaking in front of us. A referral from an associate of ours recommended Deb Kernahan to us and our prayers were answered. We only personally met with Deb 3 times and she immediately took charge of all the dealings of selling a home. She made arrangements for everything from hauling and cleaning to gardening. She even watered the lawn! She handled every technicality and kept everyone's best interest possible to complete the process of listing the home to close of escrow in 41 days. She is a tireless worker who made our job less stressful. Deb is fantastic in all aspects of doing her job. Her vast experience, integrity…

Her warm personality shined above all and we are happy to say that during this process Deb always did everything as promised. In the end we are totally satisfied with this whole process, but almost wished it hadn't happened so quickly as we will surly miss our interactions with Deb. We can truly say that we have a new friend.
I would recommend Deb Kernahan in a heartbeat. She's very personable and knowledgeable. This is the second time she has helped my family purchase a house. Although it was an out of area sale, we wanted Deb to represent us as we feel very confident in her abilities, and she did not disappoint as she help negotiate a lower price than what was advertised.
Deborah Kernahan is quite simply the best, most professional, most diligent real estate agent you could ever find. A masterful negotiator, she is also one of the rare agents who cares more about her clients than she does about commissions. I would most emphatically recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a home. In fact, I would tell anyone that they would be making a huge mistake if they did not use her!!!
Deb is a fabulous real estate agent. She is so knowledgeable about the area and the market and really delivered for me and my husband. We had a very short escrow during the holidays, and Deb and her team were always on the ball, helping us successfully navigate the process. I highly recommend using Deb as your realtor.
Deborah performed far beyond excellent in getting us our replacement home to replace our totally destroyed Malibu home. From negotiation to a needed 7 day escrow close, Debora stayed on it all the way! We are most grateful and highly recommend Deborah for either side of a transaction.
AWESOME ALL AROUND!!!! Keeps in contact...GREAT at keeping me UPDATED... Responsive...Personable...Adaptable....goes the Extra Mile. No problem in holding ones hand if you are a Newbie or just a person who needs reassurance as this process can be daunting as far as understanding the rules and the legalize. An all around Good Person..!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wish I would give a million stars!!! I cannot express how AMAZING Deborah is! My fiancé and I had specific needs / wants and Deborah went above and beyond to meet our expectations! She gave us insides on properties that you would want to know when you are investing your everything in. Deborah was super flexible with our busy schedules to make sure we see houses. I cannot be happier / more excited with our new home. Getting our keys today I started crying and could not believe that it is all so real! We could have not done this without Deb going the extra mile on each corner for us!
We first met Deb 3 years ago when she was doing an open house in Old Agoura, CA. We already lived there but we were looking for a more spacious home and a larger piece of property. She kept in touch with us during that time, letting us know what was coming up on the market and showing us homes she thought might work for us. Unfortunately, we were unable to find anything within our price point. Things don't come on the market too often in Old Agoura and it is very expensive, so we were unsuccessful. Old Agoura is a very niche market and it takes an expert, such as Deb, to navigate. Then my husband was transferred to San Diego. We knew immediately who we would ask to handle our listing. Deb Kernahan! She knew the market so well we knew she would get our home sold quickly.

Deb Kernahan! She knew the market so well we knew she would get our home sold quickly. She got it sold within 2 weeks at very close to listing price, even though it was Easter and most people were away on vacation. She did an incredible job marketing the place and even did the open house herself. She also negotiated a few things that we wouldn't be taking with us, such as horse tack and the washer/dryer. That made our move that much easier on us and much easier for the buyer as well. She was a professional during the entire process, responded to my questions, and talked me down from my tree more than once. :) I would recommend Deb for either buying or selling a home as we had a very pleasant experience for both. I feel like she wasn't only our realtor but she was a friend, too. I haven't had too many experiences like that in the past, and this is our 10th home to sell, so we've had a LOT of experience.
We met Deb 2 years ago when we purchased our house. She impressed us with her knowledge of the local market and attention to detail. Throughout those years we kept in touch and she has become part of our lives, like family. It was only natural that Deb would be the one to help us sell our home two years later. We had an idea of how much we wanted to sell for and after hearing out the pros and cons, we decided on a number and she executed a thorough plan in able to achieve our goal. She was involved every step of the way from spending many hours collaborating with our designer on how to properly stage and present our home to appeal to today’s buyers, to directing the professional photographer to take the most effective shots and angles.

I highly recommend Deb and her team if you want ease of mind and getting top dollar for your home.
Deb is through, professional, reliable and fun.! She knows the business side of selling a house from the legal and financial aspects, all the way to the emotional and personal side. Selling a house is difficult and stressful. Deb was always available to help anytime we had a question, concern or just needed a quick consult.
Deb is fabulous to work with. She provided excellent, personalized attention to our family and our property. Deb is creative when facing obstacles and confident when negotiating. I highly recommend her and her team.
The best real estate agent / broker I ever dealt with. Not to offend the other ones, as I have some experience in buying and selling properties, but Deb did an amazing job. Most importantly she listens and understood my situation. After she came with a full analytic, marketing plan and strategy to sell my house. We got the highest price per square feet in the history of the area. Basically, she and her team took a challenge and made it a reality. I am sure she does deal with all kinds of price range homes, but especially on the luxurious market, she is the only one you should deal with in LA and Ventura County. Very professional, very responsive, very experienced. So I highly recommend Deb Kernahan and her team.
We had been looking for house's for a while with no luck, when we decided to reach out to Kristin for additional help. She had a great comprehension of what we did and did not want in a house. She listened to us and never pushed a house for her own agenda. She was hands on throughout the entire process, making sure everything ran smoothly. I would highly recommend her for any of your house hunting or listing needs.
My Wife and I selected Deborah (Deb) as our real estate agent initially based on her reputation. We heard about her through neighbors in my area who had either worked with her directly or knew someone who had. She is known for being one of the best in our area in finishing home sales. This was very important to us as we previously had to remove our listing from the market due to inactivity. Upon interviewing with her, I we found her to be very professional. She is very knowledgeable about real estate value in the community. She lives is the neighborhood thus is very capable of answering any questions prospective buyers may have about the uniqueness of the homes and surrounding property.

She followed up with answers to all our questions. She communicated all our concerns to prospective buyers and the concerns of the buyer back to us. From the start, Deb brought us dozens of potential buyers. Every week there was either an open house or multiple private showings. She offered tips on making minor improvements or upgrades to enhance the sale value. In the end we sold the house for more than the prior listing price through the efforts of Deb. We highly recommend using the services of Deborah Kernahan.
I feel like I struck gold when I was provided with Deborah's name as a realtor who might help me sell my home of 40+ years. Although my residence was a smaller property, Deborah treated me no differently than if I owned and was selling a multi-million dollar estate! She was up front, honest, joyful to be around, highly capable, energetic, caring and intelligent...offering sage input that led to my getting top dollar for my home. Never pushy or aggressive, Deborah was strong and steadfast, with an amazing memory for detail so that nothing slipped through the cracks. I'm not sure how she did it, but somehow Deborah actually made the process of selling a home a joyful one. She was relatable, reliable and trustworthy and was a hand-holder and an emotional support. Deborah consistently and absolutely went well above and beyond to help to make this experience one I will always look back on wi…

Never pushy or aggressive, Deborah was strong and steadfast, with an amazing memory for detail so that nothing slipped through the cracks. I'm not sure how she did it, but somehow Deborah actually made the process of selling a home a joyful one. She was relatable, reliable and trustworthy and was a hand-holder and an emotional support. Deborah consistently and absolutely went well above and beyond to help to make this experience one I will always look back on with gratitude and a smile on my face. I wholeheartedly recommend Deborah Kernahan to anyone in need of purchasing or selling a home. Simply put, she is the best.
Kristin just helped me purchase my first home and it was a great experience. She was very knowledgeable about the whole process and the local market. She was always very responsive and went above and beyond to help us win the home among other offers the seller had. I have already referred her to 2 of my friends.
I emailed an attorney, asking for a real estate agent to sell a large home on a large lot in Woodland Hills due to a death. He referred me to Deborah (Deb) - someone who had sold homes for clients and his own home and all had been extremely satisfied. My son and I met with Deb and after that first meeting we knew we had the right realtor. She was extremely knowledgeable about the market, professional, & knew what needed to be done with the house & the contractors to do the work, including repairing damage from the 1994 earthquake. We had three offers before actually marketing the home and more after the marketing began, which allowed a primary buyer and backup to be selected, just when the COVID-19 struck. Deb was a guiding light all throughout the whole process and escrow - always available email, text and phone. Because we live in the Central time zone we had a lot of joking tryi…

Because we live in the Central time zone we had a lot of joking trying to time our communications. The Compass Concierge program worked very well for our remodeling and improving the home. Whether you are selling or buying a home or both I HIGHLY recommend Deb & her firm.
Kristen was so amazing to work with! She was very professional and guided us through every step of the process. From day one she provided her professional opinion but was very open to what our thoughts were as well in order to put together a great action plan for selling our home. And sure enough it took no time at all to get our home on the market and get it sold for above asking! Even through some of the more stressful moments she kept us informed and continued to make us feel she was on top of it and taking care of everything. We were so happy with the whole process and couldn't recommend a better agent to sell your home!
Deborah was very helpful to me in the search for and accomplishing my purchase of a residence which met our needs and criteria. She dedicated a lot of time and energy to arranging showings, often with short notice requests since new listings were being contracted very quickly. Deborah is very knowledgeable regarding neighborhoods and properties in the area and was very candid with her comments and advice regarding properties which we toured or considered touring. Being a Realtor myself in Colorado for the past 42 years, I found Deborah’s candor to be very helpful and it was obvious to my family and me that she was intent on helping us find a property which best fit our needs and NOT focused on just “making a sale”. I am pleased to recommend Deborah.
We had live in our recently sold house for over 20 years. Deborah and Kay Fileds were so very mindful of our needs and they took all the details into account, this is Important ! They were very professional throughout the entire process and being so very accommodating. I would Highly Recommend Deborah
One of the reasons we considered Deborah Kernahan was that we were impressed by how quickly she sold an English Tudor house on our street. After interviewing Deborah and Kay, we were impressed with their expertise in the how to get our house ready to put on the market plus the responsiveness of her team of painters and stagers they used. When offers came she was informative and gave us honest opinions of the buyers and chances of success. These were many stressful moments during this process and Deborah was understanding and sympathetic to our struggle in selling a house we lived in and loved since 1988. The closing process, due to buyer lender issues, was also rough but Deborah and Kay were always there to reassure us our house was great and was going to sell. Thank you Deborah and Kay for you skills and empathy.
I couldn't recommend Deb Kernahan more highly. Not only is she an expert in her field, she genuinely cares about her clients. Even after escrow closed, Deb and her assistant, Kristin, went out of their way to ensure that all my needs were met. I couldn't have asked for a better homebuying experience.
Deborah and Kristin were simply the best! They helped us for a couple of months to get the right vendors to help us prepare and stage the home. They were not only patient, but Deb always gave us the good suggestions to help us get top dollar and the best ROI. Her vendors were amazing. In addition, we always felt Deb and Kristin had our best interest at heart. At the end of our transaction Deb's experience played a huge role in getting our home closed. We could not have done it without her. We are so thankful Deborah was referred to us. She's strategic, kind, experienced and a very good communicator.
I now have had the good fortune to have had Deborah Kernahan and her team work with me as both a buyer and a seller. Most recently Deborah listed and marketed my home for sale. I watched as she went toe to toe with experienced agents, and ran circles around less experienced agents. Her efforts resulted in a bidding war that netted me a sale price above asking! I also witnessed her compassion as she dealt with the family that lost the house. Kristan Vargas, a member of team Kernahan, was also an integral part of the process of showings, inspections and dotting I's and crossing T's. If you are either a buyer or a seller, you just can't do better than to work with Team Kernahan.
Deborah has helped me tremendously find a place I wanted to rent, she was so easy to communicate with, made every ounce of a semi- stressful time for me feel relaxed and walked me through each step perfectly. Now moving forward, I would use her in a heartbeat for any next place (renting or buying) in my future ??
Kristin was amazing to work with! Even with our unique situation, she helped us get into a rental home that couldn't have been a better fit for our large family. Finding rentals in our area proved extremely difficult given their high demand and Kristin found us multiple options right away! She was very responsive and incredibly attentive to making sure we found a place. Kristin was very flexible in scheduling tours and was in constant communication with us always providing updates. She is very knowledgeable and always took the time to answer all our questions thoroughly and provided excellent assistance in preparing us for what we needed to provide during the rental process - she made paperwork so seamless!

Kristin is incredibly professional and hard-working and an absolute joy to work with! We are very grateful for her service and will use her for any future real estate needs. We highly recommend Kristin to anyone looking for a dilligent and wonderful realtor!
Deborah Kernahan and her team are truly exceptional!! Working with other agents through the process of selling and then buying a home, it quickly became evident that they provided superior service and I was thankful they were on our side. So many details and deadlines were missed by other agents. Their professionalism and attention to detail is impeccable. They are always one step ahead! The communication with their clients is excellent and you are never left wondering what is going on. If you are buying or selling your home, this is your team! No other realtors compare!
Deb was an amazing realtor! I had a great experience working with her. Deb and Kristin were my main points of contact and each were so helpful, compassionate, and amazing at their jobs! This is the first home I had ever sold and Deb walked me through everything and made sure I understood all the details of the sale. Deb and Kristin organized a remodeling of our home and did a great job. Flooring, carpeting, painting, new appliances. All of these things took so much coordinating and research and Deb went the extra mile to make sure we maximized the money we put in to raise the price of our house. In the end, Deb sold our home for over 100k above our asking price! She did an outstanding job and was so kind and understanding along the way. I cannot recommend Deb enough!
I first worked with Deborah in 2015. I purchased a home in Valley Glen, and that transaction went smoothly. We just sold that home. Deborah and her colleague, Kristin, were fantastic. They priced it correctly and marketed it well. They are consummate professionals!!
To say Deb and her team went above and beyond, simply isn't giving them enough credit. They were exceptional! Our sale wasn't that simple as we had tenants in the home, with no interest of leaving early. She built a relationship with them, earned their trust and eventually aligned with them on a plan that allowed us to show the home. After the first showing, they generated 5 offers, all over asking, many of which provided the option for the current tenants to remain in the home. This was incredibly important because selling the home wasn't just about getting the best price but also ensuring the tenants were taken care. The outcome Deb generated certainly did that. She produced several offers that checked many complicated boxes. She's a great communicator, very detailed/thorough and proactive. She also handled all the smaller details related to repairs, staging and other related aspects m…

Considering we live out of state, she did all of this with us not even being there in person. Needless to say, this was a complex situation and Deb made the whole thing feel like a breeze. Net net - Deb is an incredibly talented Broker, her team are top notch and I'd partner with her again in a heartbeat if given the opportunity.
Kristin Vargas went far beyond my expectations at every step of the way in my purchase of a home in Village at the Park in Camarillo. I could not have been happier with Kristin's professionalism and her efforts to make the purchase successful in a tough market for buyers. I would recommend Kristin without hesitation to anyone interested in buying or selling a home!
I had a wonderful experience with Kristin and her team. She was extremely knowledgeable, thorough, attentive and handled my delicate situation with care and empathy. I also appreciated her patience! Sometimes looking for the perfect house takes some time. I will definitely work with her again and have already recommended Kristin to a friend.
Kristin knew exactly what my house needed to get top dollar. This was proven by the record sales price we got for the neighborhood. Kristin was always available for discussions. She kept the process on course when it threatened to go off the rails. She was always there to reassure me and steered the process to a successful conclusion. I would unreservedly recommend Kristin to anyone looking to buy or sell Real Estate.
Excellent experience with Deb from beginning to end! I would recommend her to anyone. Truly a quality partnership. She spent the time getting to know all of our details and requests while effectively guiding us through the process.
Kristin was an absolute dream to work with! We got to experience being both the seller and buyer with her guiding us. Both transactions were seamless! Any questions or concerns we had were immediately addressed and resolved! She sold our home very quickly and for over the asking price, a record high sale in that neighborhood. Then she got us into our dream home! We are so thankful to have had her assistance through it all! We have complete faith and confidence in her abilities to guide us in the future should we need to buy or sell again! We, without reservation, would highly suggest Kristin for your real estate needs!
Deborah has been our family realtor on multiple occasions. She is very experienced and made the process very easy. She is extremely patient and very knowledgeable. She helped us upgrade our investment property so we were able to get top dollar. We couldn't have done it without her. Thank you!
Deborah is an incredible realtor. She, and her team, helped us get our house on the market, navigating us through everything that needed to be done, step by step. Her advise and expertise were key in getting our house sold in 1 week and getting multiple offers over what our asking price was. We definitely would recommend Deborah and her team to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home.
We cannot say enough about Deb and her partner in this transaction, Kay Fields. They were kind, thoughtful and extremely professional. Deb answered texts late into the night and never bat an eye. She is always available. During the showing process, she attempted to make the timing very convenient for us so that we were not out of our home at various hours of the same day. When the showing was over, she informed us of her opinion of the showing. She was very professional when suggesting we lower our price. We highly recommend Deb Kernahan and would use her again...but hopefully not for a very long time!!
I cannot rave enough about Deborah Kernahan and her team! My husband and I contacted Deborah that we are looking to sell our home and to find a bigger home for our growing family. She was right on top of everything got the process going on listing our home immediately. Our home sold over asking price and then we got our dream house for below asking! This is completely unheard of in this market! We feel SO lucky to have been able to work with Deborah and her team.
Working with Deborah was great. She knows this area and market extremely well and she will give you honest feedback and advise, which is trait I appreciate.
Deborah is an incredible Real Estate Professional. She helped me immensely get the property of my dreams. She knew exactly where to look within my budget and helped me negotiate a great deal. Deborah was so helpful with all the paperwork and she was always accessible in case I had questions on anything. I highly recommend Deborah as a Real Estate Professional for anyone.
Deb was recommended to us by our East Coast realtor at the same company. Thank God! In this crazy real estate market, Deb found us a great house that was an excellent fit for us within a month, and she was always very responsive to our inquiries and the real estate purchase process here in CA. She was able to negotiate a great deal for us, and she is very knowledgeable about living in So Cal so we had a lot of confidence in her abilities. Her team was always professional, clearly subject matter experts, and quick to resolve the myriad of issues that arise during a house buy. If you want the best, go with the Deb Kernahan team. We highly recommend them to those looking to buy in the L.A. area!
Deborah is an excellent realtor! She is a pleasure to work with and I'd highly recommend her. Deb was patient and understanding with us during our search for a home. She was always available to help us with any questions. We felt protected and well taken care of throughout the entire process. She's a gem!
Kristin was very professional and helpful in selling our home of 28 years. She was especially knowledgeable in suggesting improvements to make our home more attractive; also had great recommendations for flooring, painting, electrical work, and including the final touch of gardening to complete the presentation. There are many other details she assisted with, e.g., putting us in touch with a specialist to remove old furniture. She also answered our many questions throughout the process of selling our home, including the listing price and guidance on evaluating offers. We do not hesitate to recommend Kristin as a Real Estate agent.
Kristin was an absolute pleasure to work with, she took extra care to make the process as stress free as possible. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and was quick to address any questions or concerns. There is no doubt we got the best deal because of her valuable negotiating skills. Would recommend 10/10.
Deborah went above and beyond in every way possible from start to finish with the sale of our house. She spent countless hours helping to get the house ready to be on the market. She took our calls 24/7 and had a solution and answer every time. Even once the house sold she stayed in constant contact with us to make sure everything went well up to the very end. The process went smoothly and efficiently thanks to her. She is amazing. She showed up on our move out day and helped load up our truck and get us on the road. I feel like I have a new friend for life.
Deb Kernahan was superb in every metric. Even though it seemed expensive and unnecessary in the beginning, her advice to stage and update probably got us a 3-5x return on the investment. She was very responsive every step of the way; a consummate professional and a pleasure to work with. I would recommend Deb above anyone that I've ever worked with.
Deb Kernahan, Kristin Vargas and the entire Compass team are exceptional. Being someone who had been in their home for 47 years, I had no idea what it would take to sell my home. Deb and Kristin were compassionate and patient with me as they walked me through each step. The availability of the concierge service made it easy to make decisions regarding upgrades. I would highly recommend Deb, Kristin and the entire Compass team to anyone, no matter long you've been in your home. From 1 year to 50 plus years, this is the team you want to work with!
It was a pleasure working with Deb and Kristin. Both were very professional and made the process of selling our townhouse a positive experience. They were always prompt in returning texts and phone calls. They always had our best interests front and center. We highly recommend working with them whether you are buying or selling a home.
Deborah was very helpful. I was able to purchase my home with no money down which is difficult to do in California. Deborah worked with my mortgage officer to help me navigate the home buying process easily and kept in touch after move in to make sure I had everything I needed.
Due to an emergency health situation with my 99-year-old uncle and 82-year-old aunt, we had to move them to my hometown in another state. Deborah Kernahan and her business partner, Kay Fields, had visited with them for years, and my aunt was determined to use 'the girls who had always been so sincerely nice to her'. They literally told us to take what we wanted out of the home and walk away, and they would do the rest. What a weight was lifted!! Deb and Kay had to completely take charge of everything from the estate sale, repairs and maintenance, clean up and then selling the home. The long-distance communication was beyond our expectations, and they were extremely patient and knowledgeable when dealing with these senior sellers! They quickly got us an incredible price! The speed to market was very timely as the market shifted just a very short time after we sold. I never had an…

The speed to market was very timely as the market shifted just a very short time after we sold. I never had any idea of just how knowledgeable a real estate agent has to be, not to mention how much stress and effort go into the complicated sale of a home. Deb and Kay gave me a totally new perspective of this profession! They will always have my utmost respect, and I will always remember and be grateful for their kindness and patience with my aunt and uncle and also myself! I never realized how much this experience would all be about trust.... I would, without hesitation, recommend these two wonderful people to anyone!!
I am so grateful I was referred to Deb for my first time home buying experience! Deb went above and beyond to find the perfect place and didn’t settle for less. I appreciated her patience during this process and she always answered questions I had in a timely manner. The entire experience was seamless due to Deb's thoroughness. Words cannot describe how lucky I am that I had Deb as my agent!
Deborah and Monica assisted us greatly to buy a condo in West side of Los Angeles. They are very professional, pleasant to work with and easy to talk to. They are very punctual. We could deeply trust them. They also have a great team work. They recommended us a fantastic Escrow officer and their team as well.
Monica Yorkison did an excellent job pushing my application forward and helping to negotiate with the homeowner for me. She was incredibly responsive and helpful with all of my contract questions and helped me settle in easily. Even after moving in, she was available for assistance with the property to ensure the final touches to moving in went perfectly. Monica did a great job and I would be happy to work with her again!
Deb was incredible from beginning to end. Selling a house is complex and stressful but Deb's connectivity, attention to detail and willingness to go above and beyond made the process so much easier. Highly recommend Deb to anyone who is looking to selling or buying a house. Thank you Deb!!
From the moment we met Deborah in 2017 when we purchased our first home in Old Agoura, it was as if we had found a true friend rather than just a realtor. Life took an unexpected turn when my husband embarked on his daring start-up venture, and in order to navigate the many challenges, we had to make the difficult decision to sell our beloved home. Throughout this rollercoaster ride, Deborah stood by our side, offering unwavering support and an unwritten promise that we could always rely on her, even in the face of the most daunting challenges. Her steadfast presence during both the highs and lows of our lives reassured us that we were not alone. Since then we had leased, purchased and sold 8 properties through Deborah. The last property we worked on together was a 1977 house in Westlake Village that we flipped and sold. It was not an easy task! We consulted her from the early phases of …

Throughout this rollercoaster ride, Deborah stood by our side, offering unwavering support and an unwritten promise that we could always rely on her, even in the face of the most daunting challenges. Her steadfast presence during both the highs and lows of our lives reassured us that we were not alone. Since then we had leased, purchased and sold 8 properties through Deborah. The last property we worked on together was a 1977 house in Westlake Village that we flipped and sold. It was not an easy task! We consulted her from the early phases of renovation and she advised us on what kind of client to design and stage the house for. Rain or shine she and her team were there to not only sell the house but to assure the house was maintained in an immaculate state after every showing and open house. She and her exceptional team have consistently exceeded our expectations, leaving no room for disappointment. The trust we have placed in her over the years is a testament to her dedication, reliability and competence.
I would recommend Deb Kernahan in a heartbeat. She's very personable and knowledgeable. This is the second time she has helped my family purchase a house. Although it was an out-of-area sale, we wanted Deb to represent us as we feel very confident in her abilities, and she did not disappoint as she help negotiate a lower price than what was advertised. First of all, Deborah is friendly and personal, and it feels like you have your best friend looking out for you. She takes her time to understand your needs and wants for a future home, and is bent on finding the right home for you. She is also very straightforward in the sense that she will let you know if she feels the house you are viewing is not right for any reason (too far from a school, not children-friendly, a money pit, or priced outrageously, etc.).

Through the 2-year process of finding the home that was right for us, Deb has been very patient with us. And when we found it, Deb and Chelsea helped us through inspections, as we were unable to be onsite due to work in NorCal. Third, even after we closed on our new wonderful home, Deb and Chelsea have remained helpful with advice and referrals for handymen, gardeners, interior designers, etc. which is of the essence when you are from out of town. And every one of those referrals has been excellent and reasonably priced. To sum it all up, we cannot say enough good things about Deb she is one of a kind, and I can wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to find a new home.
We first met Deb 3 years ago when she was doing an open house in Old Agoura, CA. We already lived there but we were looking for a more spacious home and a larger piece of property. She kept in touch with us during that time, letting us know what was coming up on the market and showing us homes she thought might work for us. Unfortunately, we were unable to find anything within our price point. Things don't come on the market too often in Old Agoura and it is very expensive, so we were unsuccessful. Old Agoura is a very niche market and it takes an expert, such as Deb, to navigate. Then my husband was transferred to San Diego. We knew immediately who we would ask to handle our listing. Deb Kernahan. She knew the market so well we knew she would get our home sold quickly. She got it sold within 2 weeks at very close to the listing price, even though it was Easter and most people were away …

Deb Kernahan. She knew the market so well we knew she would get our home sold quickly. She got it sold within 2 weeks at very close to the listing price, even though it was Easter and most people were away on vacation. She did an incredible job marketing the place and even did the open house herself. She also negotiated a few things that we wouldn't be taking with us, such as horse tack and the washer and dryer. That made our move that much easier on us and much easier for the buyer as well. She was a professional during the entire process, responded to my questions, and talked me down from my tree more than once. I would recommend Deb for either buying or selling a home as we had a very pleasant experience for both. I feel like she wasn't only our REALTOR but she was a friend, too. I haven't had too many experiences like that in the past, and this is our 10th home to sell, so we've had a lot of experience.
My wife and I selected Deborah (Deb) as our real estate agent initially based on her reputation. We heard about her through neighbors in my area who had either worked with her directly or knew someone who had. She is known for being one of the best in our area in finishing home sales. This was very important to us as we previously had to remove our listing from the market due to inactivity. Upon interviewing her, we found her to be very professional. She is very knowledgeable about real estate value in the community. She lives in the neighborhood and thus is very capable of answering any questions prospective buyers may have about the uniqueness of the homes and surrounding property. Working with Deb was a complete joy. She is by nature a very warm and inviting person. She kept me and my wife informed of developments every step of the way by phone, text, and email.

She followed up with answers to all our questions. She communicated all our concerns to prospective buyers and the concerns of the buyer back to us. From the start, Deb brought us dozens of potential buyers. Every week there was either an open house or multiple private showings. She offered tips on making minor improvements or upgrades to enhance the sale value. In the end, we sold the house for more than the prior listing price through the efforts of Deb. We highly recommend using the services of Deborah Kernahan.
Sold a Single Family home in 2018 in Del Rey, Los Angeles, California. My husband and I were faced with the daunting task of selling a home that belonged to a family member who unexpectedly passed away. Adding to that fact, we had never lived in the home and we live out of town. We had a huge undertaking in front of us. A referral from an associate of ours recommended Deb Kernahan to us and our prayers were answered. We only personally met with Deb 3 times and she immediately took charge of all the dealings of selling a home. She made arrangements for everything from hauling and cleaning to gardening.

Her warm personality shined above all and we are happy to say that during this process Deb always did everything as promised.
