REVIEWS
Don’t take our word for it. See what my clients have to say ...
Deanna did a great job selling our house. She was helpful in helping me work through every step of the selling process. We completed some of the business remotely, so I didn’t need to take off work a lot to make things happen. Working with Deanna was a very positive experience.
‑ Taylor W.
Deanna did a wonderful job. She answered every question that we had with accuracy and quickness. Very organized so everything that we had to do as buyers was quick and easy. We HIGHLY recommend Deanna with all of your buying needs.
‑ Ferris N.
Deanna was exactly the person we needed to find our dream home, we highly recommend her for all real estate needs. Not only was she highly educated in the field and able to give amazing advice; she was compassionate, flexible with our schedule, and sincerely looking out for our best interest. Sometimes selling a house and buying a new one can be stressful, but this team managed to make it fun and memorable.

It’s time for a reintroduction!
Here are 8 fun facts about me so you can get to know the real me a little better:
1. I’m terrified of anything touching my eyes. Eye drops? Pure torture. I’d rather run a marathon than face those little bottles of horror.
2. Sugar is my love language. Seriously, all forms of sugar—candies, cakes, cookies... you name it. To feed my addiction in a somewhat healthier way, I’m currently harvesting my own maple syrup. (Don’t worry, I’ve got the balance mostly figured out.)
3. I have a Masters degree in Educational Technology, but here`s the twist: my kids are not allowed to have technology at home. Call me old-fashioned, but to me, the benefits just don’t outweigh the negatives when it comes to tech for kids.
4. Ice water is a need—except, sometimes I chew the ice, which my dentist has politely reminded me is a terrible habit. So, I’m working on breaking it. Slowly.
5. If I could have any superpower, it would never be to fly. I’ll leave that to the bird watchers. I’m perfectly happy with my feet firmly on the ground!
6. I taught myself to play the ukulele during the COVID shutdown. I can now proudly strum a few songs (but don’t ask me for a concert anytime soon).
7. I hiked the Kalalau Trail on my first-ever hike—before realizing it’s one of the most dangerous hikes in the U.S. Let’s just say I like to jump into adventures headfirst!
8. I live in the woods, and I absolutely love it. There’s something magical about being surrounded by trees, wildlife, and peace and quiet. The animals keep their distance (they`re not invited inside), but I’m lucky enough to see deer, squirrels, and all kinds of creatures right in my backyard.
Bonus Fun Fact: I would love to be your REALTOR.

Tom has put out hundreds of For Sale signs over the last 40 years—after a while, it can feel routine… but today? This one hits different and was worth a picture! Can you figure out why? 👀🏡

I wouldn’t be where I am without the incredible people I work with every day. From fellow agents to trusted partners, having a strong, reliable team behind me is what allows me to give my clients the best experience possible. It`s not just about the transactions—it`s about the support, the advice, and the collaboration that make all the difference.
Whether it`s celebrating a win or navigating a challenge, having the right people around you is everything. I’m so grateful for the women I’m surrounded by, and it’s their encouragement that truly help me succeed.
Do you have a team that helps you walk through the big, small, scary, and exciting changes in life? If not, it’s never too late to build one. 💪

Happy Pi Day!
Started with banana cream for breakfast and ended the day with key lime for dessert. Next year my goal is to get them to appreciate pot pies. That’s a tough sell with these two.

This bathroom is so beautiful, I might start spending more time in here than my husband... and that`s saying something, because we all know how long dads take in the bathroom!

Huge thank you to The Sanctuary in Armada for hosting the Women Owners in Armada this month! No two women, businesses, or goals are exactly the same, but this morning was all about supporting, brainstorming, and lifting each other up. I’m so grateful for this incredible group of women!
This is truly the best community to be a part of! Looking forward to next month already!

Hey, if you can handle losing an hour of sleep, you can definitely handle buying or selling a home! 😉

Real estate is so much more than just a transaction – it’s an emotional ride, and that’s one of the things I love most about it. Shannon’s at a point in her life where downsizing just makes sense. Her kids moved to a new town, and she no longer wants the hassle of a big yard or a huge empty house. Plus, driving an hour every time she wants to see her grandbaby? That’s just too much.
Selling your home and buying a new one on the SAME DAY? Not easy. But Shannon did it! She closed on both homes, just hours apart, on the same day!
Shannon, I’m beyond happy for you and your family. Welcome home!!! 🏡

How you see the world is how the world will see you. If you walk through life with your head held high, embracing all the light within you, the world can’t help but reflect that back. Grateful to have these two adding sparkle to my day wherever I go.
