About Debbie Pastori
Debbie has never taken the conventional path — and that's exactly what makes her a better agent. Born and raised in California, she worked as an armed security guard, a locksmith, a road manager for a music group, and a business manager for writers, directors, and actors in the entertainment industry before moving to Arizona with her husband Mike in 2005. She obtained her Arizona real estate license in 2006 and has built her career around the active adult communities of the West Valley.
When the market crashed in 2008, she didn't step away — she leaned in, specializing in short sales and foreclosures in 55+ communities. That resilience gave her a depth of experience that continues to serve her clients today. Outside of real estate, she is a devoted animal lover with three rescue dogs (Hopi, Sunshine, and Stella) and two cats, spends time with her 90-year-old mother, and organizes annual food drives at Valley View Community.
