About
Debbie Gates | Southern California Real Estate
eXp Luxury | eXp ICON Agent | Top-Producing Real Estate Professional

Experience. Integrity. Results. Relationships.

You deserve a real estate professional who knows the local market, navigates complicated transactions, negotiates with confidence, and genuinely protects your best interests.

A lifelong Simi Valley local and licensed since 2004, Debbie has completed more than 1,400 residential transactions totaling over $910 million in career sales. A member of eXp Luxury and a recipient of the eXp ICON Agent Award, she led the Westlake Village office in total transactions in 2023. Still, she believes her greatest achievement is the trust of her clients and the families she has helped through every stage of life.

Her philosophy is simple: put the client first, give honest guidance, communicate openly, and deliver exceptional service from start to finish. Debbie combines current market data with two decades of hands-on experience to help clients make informed decisions. From strategic pricing, staging, and marketing to negotiating offers, managing inspections, and navigating appraisals, she brings preparation and sound judgment to every detail. Supported by an experienced team, she stays personally involved, with timely communication and a smooth, stress-free experience.

Debbie serves first-time buyers, growing families, luxury sellers, downsizers, relocating clients, investors, and trust and estate sales. She believes clients deserve the truth, even when it isn’t what they hoped to hear, and her network of trusted professionals, agents, buyers, sellers, and investors, both domestic and international, expands exposure and resources for her clients.

Deep Roots. Strong Relationships. A Heart for Community.

Having grown up in Simi Valley, Debbie knows a home sale is rarely just a transaction. It can mean a new beginning, a growing family, or the close of a meaningful chapter. Much of her business comes from repeat clients and referrals, including families who return generation after generation. She supports local scholarship programs and organizes her Annual Back-to-School Backpack & School Supply Drive, now in its seventh year, serving families in Simi Valley, Moorpark, and surrounding communities.

More Than a Real Estate Agent. A Trusted Advisor for Life.

Whether you’re buying your first home, selling a luxury property, relocating, downsizing, handling a trust or estate sale, or just curious what your home is worth, Debbie offers honest advice, exceptional service, and the experience to help you move forward with confidence.

Debbie has helped us with multiple transactions over the years. We love working with Debbie because she is detailed, accurate punctual and most of all knowledgeable about every part of the Buy cell process. Day or night Debbie is there for you to support you walk you through details and make sure most importantly your transition is seamless. I would recommend Debbie to any fire or any seller in any market. Her offices are in Simi Valley however I use her exclusively for my Desert properties as she is well-versed in all the California markets. Thank you again Debbie for assisting our family.

Karen is the best from start to finish. I have worked with Karen on both purchases and sales, and she is consistently diligent and very responsive. She is very realistic in her approach and meticulously handles all the details that I would not have even considered. Karen has a calm, professional demeanor and interacts equally well with both agents and clients. I feel like Karen is always protecting my best interest, and at the same time, considering everyone else involved from an unquestionably ethical standpoint. She makes the process so manageable.
