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.

👋 In case you haven’t met him yet (or just want to know him a little better) — meet Tom! He’s been helping clients with their real estate needs since 1976 and still loves every minute of it. 🏡
A little about Tom:
✨ He’s recently picked up a new hobby: playing corn hole — though his wife keeps him humble by beating him once in awhile. 😉
✨ Loves riding his motorcycle whenever the Michigan weather cooperates. 🏍️
✨ Counts down the days until he can escape to sunny Florida each year. 🌴
✨ Wild blueberry pie is his birthday tradition — one slice every year without fail. 🫐🥧
✨ And after nearly five decades in real estate, his passion for helping people find their dream homes hasn’t slowed down a bit.
For those who already know Tom — what’s your favorite story about him? 😄
✨ Could you call this your first home? 🏡

🏡 No Two Homes Are Alike — Especially in Macomb County!
Take a look at this skinny legend of a house! 😅 Nestled right up to the lot line, this home proves that real estate is anything but one-size-fits-all.
Whether you’re looking at homes in Macomb County or anywhere else in Michigan, you’ll quickly notice:
✨ Every home tells a different story.
✨ Lot sizes, layouts, and styles change with every neighborhood.
✨ What works in one area might be totally different in another — and that’s what makes real estate so fun!
Thinking about buying or selling in Macomb County? I can help you find the home (skinny or spacious!) that’s perfect for you. 🏠

👋 In case we haven’t met yet (or you just want to know me a little better) — I’m Deanna! I’m an Associate Broker with MI Realty Needs, and while I love selling real estate, my true passion has always been teaching and helping others. Luckily, this career lets me do both! 💛
A little about me:
✨ I have two amazing kids.
✨ My sister calls me Gabby — partly because I was once asked not to come back to Girl Scouts for talking too much. 😅
✨ I’m a proud Michigan State football fan (Go Green! 🏈).
✨ I’ll take any excuse to get outside, no matter the season.
✨ I love baking so much that I somehow ended up with four ovens in my house. 🍞
✨ And I firmly believe life is just better with a smile.
For those of you who already know me — did I leave out anything important?🧐
Now that the kids are back in school, I’ve had a chance to look back on this summer — and wow, it was my busiest real estate season yet! I’m so thankful for the families, friends, and referrals that made it all possible.
I’m excited to see what this fall brings. 🍂 If you’re thinking about making a move (or know someone who is), I’d be honored to be a part of that journey. Your referrals and trust mean the world to me — and I’m never too busy for you, your questions, or the people you send my way. 💛
I feel so lucky that my real estate business runs completely on family, friends, and referrals. Truly, I couldn’t do this without the people who surround me and support me year after year.
This year I was able to give back a little with a ladies’ night—wine, treats, and picking wildflowers together. 🌸🍷 It was such a simple but special way to celebrate the women who mean so much to me.
I’m beyond grateful for the love, support, and friendships in my life. Can’t wait to do it again next year! 💛

Would you downsize maintenance if it meant keeping all this space? #readytomove #mirealtyneeds
Today’s closing was not a quick journey.
When you’re moving from out of state and searching for the perfect place to raise your family, it takes time. It takes time to explore communities, get to know neighborhoods, and figure out what truly feels like home.
This journey started years ago with a simple phone call. We didn’t know each other yet—they just wanted to understand what buying a home in Michigan would look like.
Fast forward to today: they did it!
First-time homebuyers, and now proud owners of a beautiful house in the perfect spot to plant roots and grow.
Congratulations, Dominika and Govind!
I am so happy for you. You’re exactly where you’re meant to be, and I love that you finally get to make a home of your own. 🏡❤️
Happy Closing Day!
