Home Bordering Corps on Bull Shoals Lake with Large Shop Building

Meet Debra Schilling Smith, a proud transplant to the charming Ozark Mountains. Hailing from Illinois and having spent a significant part of her life in vibrant New Orleans, Debra's heart has found its true home along the stunning shores of Bull Shoals Lake. With over 50 years of family history in this beautiful region, her connection runs deep—especially since her father, Thomas F. Schilling, contributed to the community as a real estate agent from 1987 to 1998. Debra’s lifelong love affair with the Ozarks was solidified when she returned to her roots in 2016, purchasing her family home and embracing the serene lifestyle that this paradise offers.

When she’s not busy helping buyers and sellers, Debra enjoys exploring the great outdoors, engaging in hiking, gardening, canoeing, boating, and swimming in the area's pristine lakes and rivers. A dedicated community member, she passionately volunteers for local initiatives—including the Ozark County Sheriff's Office K-9 Fund and annual programs like "Shop with a Cop.” Debra believes that fostering community involvement is essential to promote this shimmering slice of heaven to the rest of the world.

Debra shares her life with two lovable dachshunds, Freddy and Fritz, alongside her grandpup, King. Family is at the core of everything she does, and she is excited to work alongside her son, Luke Mogg, a third-generation REALTOR®, to create a formidable real estate team. Together, they highlight the unique charm of the Ozarks—offering homeowners that rare blend of peaceful lake living and access to vibrant towns teeming with adventure, entertainment, dining, and shopping.

Debra's journey into real estate was fueled by her deep love for the area and her desire to assist others in finding their dream homes. Drawing from her extensive service industry experience, she is committed to providing personalized and comprehensive real estate solutions for all her clients. Whether you're looking for a vacation getaway, a full-time residence, land for development, or farmland, Debra offers the expertise and support needed to navigate the real estate market in north-central Arkansas and south-central Missouri.
