More about Debbie

Debbie Gurney has been proudly associated with the Amber Developments since 2000. In 2015 she joined the Harcourts family as a way to offer her clients the peace of mind, exposure and protection, of an internationally recognised agency.

Initially employed as a rental agent under Ian and Rob Taylor, Debbie soon aspired to the position of Amber Valley Sales Agent. Currently with 20 years overall experience within the Ambers, Debbie has an intimate knowledge of all the developments, the people who live there and the environment that is now so well known as The Ambers.

Born and raised in Howick, Debbie is an avid proponent of the benefits that the Natal Midlands and the Ambers have to offer retirees. She has experienced first hand, through clients, as well as personally, the advantages the developments such as the Ambers can provide: The close knit community, the activities and Care Facilities - this is what impassions her. From the initial meeting with clients, to understanding their individual desires, a personal rapore is established and ... friendship.

In her own words: “A person has planned and saved their entire lives for this moment. I’m here to make them happy, to let them feel content in knowing that they have made the right; the appropriate decision. That’s my satisfaction.”

Debbie has also completed her NQF4.
