In 2026, Debbie celebrates an impressive 40 years in the property industry. Reflecting on her career, she says:

“Whilst many aspects of the job have changed with the advent of online marketing and social media, good customer service remains at the heart of everything we do. McCartneys is a wonderful firm to be part of. We are one of the oldest independent multi-disciplined property practices in the country, meaning that whatever our clients’ property needs, there is always an expert on hand to advise.”
