Sanibel resident Deb McQuade Gleason has been an islander since 1958. She attended the "Old Sanibel Schoolhouse" and remembers ferry boat rides fondly.

She later received a degree in social science from the University of South Florida.

A Sanibel realtor since 1997, Deb has achieved the Island Specialist Certification to enhance her service to her clients.

She enjoys sharing her island with old islanders, new islanders and soon-to-be islanders.

As a member of the Sanibel Historical Preservation Council, she hopes to have a positive effect on the cultural legacy of the islands.

Deb will put her many years of island experience to work for those looking to buy on Sanibel & Captiva and with those needing to sell their island properties in a timely manner.
