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.

‑ Erin O.

We may not be a good fit—and that’s okay.

No two people are exactly the same. Our personalities, experiences, and values shape us into unique individuals—and that matters when it comes to selling your home.

When I'm asked to provide a free market analysis or walk through my seller’s guide, it’s not just about me being interviewed. I’m also making sure you are the right fit for me.

I’m not the right realtor for everyone—and I’m okay with that. But for the clients I am the right fit for? They get 110%, every time.

Because great results come from great partnerships. 🤝🏡
Make sure you interview your REALTOR.

If you know Tom, you know he’s basically the father of real estate—and I mean that literally and figuratively.

He trained me, mentored me, and showed me what it really means to show up for people—not just as clients, but as families making one of life’s biggest decisions.

Tom has been doing this long before I ever thought about becoming an agent, and to this day, I still learn something every time I’m around him.

Happy Father’s Day to one of the greats—not just in business, but in life.

6 Surprising Things You Might Not Think About in a Subdivision… Until After You’ve Bought the House 🏡
(Consider this your friendly neighborhood PSA from a real estate agent who’s seen—and heard—it all 😉)

Street Parking Politics 🚗
Some subdivisions are super strict—or totally chaotic—when it comes to guests parking on the street. Always check the HOA rules or talk to the neighbors ahead of time.

Mailboxes Can Get Weird 📬
Cluster boxes? Locked boxes? A mini hike to get your mail in the middle of a snowstorm? It’s not always as simple as a cute mailbox at the end of your driveway.
I once had a client who was required to purchase a $900 matching mailbox to meet the neighborhood’s design standards. Yep—just for the mailbox.

Sidewalks (or Lack Thereof) 🚶‍♀️
You won’t realize how important sidewalks are—until you try to walk your dog, push a stroller, or chase a toddler on a scooter… and there’s nowhere safe to go.

Neighbors’ Outdoor Habits 🔊
That quiet couple next door? Might throw epic Saturday karaoke nights. The guy three doors down? Owns a leaf blower—and uses it like it’s his love language. And yes, I know of a neighbor who liked to garden his front yard… in a thong. You really can’t make this stuff up.

Fence Rules & Yard Restrictions 🚫
Thinking of putting up a privacy fence, playset, or raised garden beds? Some neighborhoods have very specific rules about what you can and can’t do with your yard.

The Vibe You Didn’t Catch in One Showing 🌳
HOAs, lawn standards, neighborhood group chats, holiday decor wars—there’s a whole culture to a subdivision that doesn’t always show up in a 15-minute tour.

Buying a house means buying into a whole lifestyle—and I’m here to help you find the one that fits all the details.

This post is definitely not about MY birthday. 😉
But if it were… here’s what you might (or might not) need to know:

🎂 Age: Old enough to stop getting ID’d… and honestly? I’ve earned every single smile wrinkle.

✨ Current priorities: Workout attire that can double as real clothes, my kids (always), and helping people find the kind of home they actually want to come home to.

📱 Top-tier skills: Getting a wild amount of texts every day—and somehow making sure everyone gets a reply. Always. 💬

💫 Birthday wish (if this were a birthday): A weekend getaway with sunshine, swimming, A LOT of sugar, and at least one glorious, uninterrupted day away from my phone.

🎁 Dream gift: Something small and thoughtful.

But again… this is definitely not a birthday post. Just your regularly scheduled dose of real estate and real life—with a side of ice cream (because cake isn't that great). 🎉

June is hands-down my favorite month of the year.
Real estate is buzzing, ice cream shops are in full swing, the days are longer, and the bonfires are better. My birthday shows up, school winds down (goodbye homework and lunch-packing!), and I get more time with my kids.
It just feels like everything shines a little brighter in June — and I’m here for it.
