Mira LastTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. “We met Deborah more than 20 years ago when we decided to build our second home in Julian. Deborah’s friendly manners and smile stayed with us all these years until we decided to sell the Julian house, and we asked her to be our agent. This is when we had a pleasure of also knowing Deborah’s professional side: great knowledge of Julian housing market, adaptability to market changes, a genuine commitment to our needs, problem solving, attention to detail, high ethical standards, and excellent communication skills. Through the whole process, from the moment Deborah came to see the house, preparation for showing it, getting offers, all the way to closing the escrow, we felt well taken care of, and protected. We feel extremely lucky to have had Deborah lead us through this whole process. There is no greater praise to be given to a realtor! Thank you Deborah! “ Dianna HessTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Orchard Realty really came through for me!

Bob MeadTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently worked with Lisa and Deborah on the purchase of a great parcel near Julian, and I must say we are very impressed with Orchard Realty and these two ladies. Even through the many issues that arose during the negotiating and escrow processes, Lisa and Deborah proved to be extremely competent and professional and were able to make this purchase go very smoothly for us. We couldn't be happier with our purchase and with Lisa Alvarado and Deborah Kerch for their attention to detail. Thank you so much! Richard RussellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We worked with Deborah on the purchase of a house in Julian, and it worked out so well that when we decided to sell that house 17 years later we went back to her again. She did an expert at job at pricing the house, and doing all the negotiations. We had moved out of state and she handled everything with zero drama. She did a great job at marketing the house, with excellent photos and promotion, and we closed escrow within 4 weeks of listing, in a fairly slow market. We could not have been more impressed. Highly recommend.
