Our approach

Three Things That Matter Most

Exceptional real estate representation comes down to three things.

  1. 01

    Market knowledge

    More than 20 years in Las Vegas, Henderson, and Summerlin means pricing and advice grounded in how these neighborhoods actually trade.

  2. 02

    Strong negotiation

    From list price to repair requests to closing terms, we negotiate to protect your interests at every step.

  3. 03

    Communication you can count on

    Clear, honest updates from the first conversation through closing, so you always know where things stand.

Meet Debra Perna

Experience. Integrity. Family. Results.

With more than 20 years of experience in the Las Vegas real estate market, Debra Perna has built her career on experience, integrity, strong negotiation, and a genuine commitment to the people she represents. Her extensive knowledge of Las Vegas, Summerlin, Henderson, and surrounding communities allows her to confidently guide clients through everything from luxury home purchases and sales to relocation and complex real estate transactions.

Throughout her career, Debra has successfully closed transactions across changing markets, negotiated favorable terms for her clients, and helped buyers and sellers navigate the challenges that can arise along the way. Her goal is simple: anticipate obstacles, reduce stress, communicate clearly, and make the process as seamless as possible from the first conversation through closing.

Debra's commitment to exceptional service has resulted in a business built largely on repeat clients and personal referrals. Her dedication and consistent production have also earned her recognition as a Top Producer with Urban Nest.

Today, as the leader of The Perna Group, Debra brings that same level of service to every client her team represents. With particular expertise in luxury real estate, Summerlin, Henderson, relocation, new construction, and distinctive properties throughout the Las Vegas Valley, Debra and her team combine local market knowledge with hands-on service and skilled negotiation to help clients make confident real estate decisions.

For Debra, however, success has never been measured solely by transactions or awards.

She has been married for 37 years and is the proud mother of three grown children and grandmother to three amazing grandchildren. Three generations have brought plenty of fun, challenges, lessons, laughter, and achievements, and family remains at the center of her life. That perspective has shaped the way Debra approaches real estate as well. She understands that a home isn't simply an investment or an address; it's where families grow, milestones happen, and memories are made.

When she's not helping clients, you'll likely find Debra spending time with family and friends, camping, traveling somewhere new, playing cards, enjoying her grandchildren, or fitting in the occasional shopping spree.

After more than 20 years in Las Vegas real estate, Debra continues to approach every client relationship with the same philosophy: work hard, communicate honestly, protect her clients' interests, and treat every transaction as if it were her own.
