Debra Whitfield

About me

Debra began her career after studying business and computer science in New Jersey, launching her professional journey on Wall Street in the early 1980s. She relocated to the Charleston, South Carolina area in the late 1980’s, where she continued her career as a financial investment advisor. After more than 20 years in the financial industry, Debra recognized that her financial expertise could be most impactful in guiding the 55Plus community through important life transitions in real estate.

Committed to continuous learning, Debra earned her Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES) designation in 2006, equipping her to address the unique needs of mature buyers and sellers. She also holds the Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist (CLHMS) designation, allowing her to serve clients seeking a refined, lifestyle-driven luxury real estate experience—an area of particular importance to many older clients.

Debra has built an impressive track record as one of the top real estate agents in the Charleston area. Since 2011, she has consistently earned Coldwell Banker’s prestigious international top-producing awards, a reflection of her expertise, market knowledge, and commitment to exceptional client service. She takes great pride in expertly assisting both buyers and sellers through every stage of the real estate process.

As a member of the 55Plus community herself and a resident of an active adult community, Debra brings both professional insight and personal understanding to every client relationship. She is deeply passionate about counseling and supporting her clients as they navigate the next stage of life, helping them find thoughtful solutions, clarity, and confidence as they move into their retirement years.

“The Charleston area offers exceptional homes and luxury communities set within one of the country’s most beautiful and historic coastal settings. With world-class medical care, retiree-friendly incentives, and thoughtfully designed lifestyle communities, it’s an ideal place to enjoy your next chapter. I am committed to delivering elevated, personalized service—working creatively and diligently to meet both your real estate and lifestyle goals.”
