Deb is a very personable, professional and knowledgeable agent. I never felt like I was bothering her with any question or request that I had. I would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone.September 2019
I felt that Deb was professionally objective when she provided a listing of home inspector names and numbers, rather than making a specific recommendation. I was confident asking her opinion when negotiating the price and the terms of the purchase. I appreciated her handling contacting the seller the day after closing about the garage door opener and code; even coming by with the opener. (That's above and beyond.)
I appreciated Deb's easy-going nature, and her helpfulness; and felt confident in approaching her with any questions or concerns. < less

Deb clicked with my wife's personality within 15 minutes of them meeting. She was able to develop a trust relationship very quickly. I felt Deb was brutally honest in every aspect of showing houses, and even though I have years of business banking experience, she still gave me some good guidance on financing issues. While she represented the seller's as their agent, I thought she did a great job managing both sides of the negotiations on price fairly for both parties. She must have done a good job.... I bought 2 houses from her.April 2019
Deb Bounds professionalism was way above and beyond what we get from other local RE agents.. She is by far the best RE agent I have used, over 40 years of buying and selling property. Her focus appears to be to get to the finish line, close the sale with integrity and respect. < less

We have known Deb for several years. We have watched her learn her market here in the Grand Rapids Area after moving from another area. Every location has it's challenges and Deb's success here is a testimony in itself to her dedication and hard work in her profession.March 2019
Deb is so friendly and upbeat! It makes a life event like buying a house so enjoyable. There are so many little things that we could have overlooked but Deb was right there to guide us. We were given very sound advice on the market which was very helpful in our house hunting experience. It is easy to get caught up in "the dream" and Deb's sound advice truly helped keep our focus in getting us into just the right home.
In our situation, we had a very limited time to find a suitable home and she went out of her way to accommodate our schedules. She was actually on vacation and still managed to keep track of everything!
Deb Bounds will never be "just" a Real Estate Agent. Deb Bounds is truly one of a kind professional and we are so thankful to have had her in our corner during what was a very stressful time for us.
I would very much recommend Deb Bounds at Century 21 in Grand Rapids, Mn if you are in the market to buy or sell Real Estate. < less

She made sure we had all the documents and set up the inspection for us as we were not local. I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting the best realtor. < lessJanuary 2019

The sale of my house was a challenge for Deb to say the least as there were legality and other issues that arose. Deb handled the situations with professionalism and patience. She went out of her way to make sure that the problems were solved, even working on her own time on the weekends running around. She definitely went above and beyond to ensure the sale of my house and understood the stress I was under and did everything in her power to assure me that things would all work out, which they did. It took some time to get everything complete, research, footwork, communications and sweat but she pulled it off. I believe Deb and I learned some things with this sale.
