PROFESSIONAL BIO
Debbie Crawford brings more than three decades of real estate, construction industry and investor experience to Keyes. Her career began in 1988 as Membership Director for the Daytona Beach Homebuilders Association, where she ran the Parade of Homes, the Home Show, the annual awards banquet etc. She later served as office manager for a $100 million-plus ERP project at Masco Daytona, onboarding a global team of over 300 employees and contractors and building out three locations.
Debbie began real estate investing in 2005 and served five years on the board of directors of the IRC investor group in Orlando. When the market crashed in 2007, she started helping homeowners in foreclosure. Working with her team, she rehabbed and rented properties, coordinated foreclosure settlements and relied on a network of 26 attorneys across several states to assist. In all, they helped more than 300 homeowners. She also taught classes on home staging. She ran a “Sell Your Home in 7 Days” program for a year, selling two homes a week and coordinating the marketing, staging, open houses and round-robin bidding.
Since 2019 Debbie has also worked as a mobile notary and loan signing agent. She has handled buyer and seller closings, lines of credit, SBA loans, reverse mortgages and estate documents, so she knows what the closing table requires from both sides.
Today Debbie is active in two local investor groups in Sarasota, as well as a member of the women’s investor group. She has taught several investing classes and organized a bus tour of properties to be rehabbed. She judged the Parade of Homes for three years as a member of the Suncoast Builders Association. In 2026 she and her partner used AI and years of their own teaching material to create an 800-plus-page investing course with audio and Avatar video editions. Her team is now developing a course for investors and Realtors called the AI Profit Accelerator on using AI in their businesses, starting November 7th, 2026, and is also launching a company to buy, rehab and flip homes of $1 million and above.
Debbie brings Keyes clients a rare combination: hands-on investing and rehab experience, foreclosure and distressed-property knowledge, closing-table expertise, a track record as a teacher and event organizer, and AI knowledge and tools to better serve her clientele.
