Not Your Typical REALTOR . Not Your Typical REALTOR Bio.You loathe typical real estate agent bios. Don't worry, I do too. They're like cardboard -- stiff, bland, and identical to every other bio out there. Instead of boasting ad nauseum about awards and accomplishments you're not interested in, I'm taking the novel approach of actually giving you what you want -- real answers to questions you're probably wondering right now.Will you return my calls and emails?Yes. Without question.I realize this is one of the major frustrations the general public has with dealing with agents. I get dozens of calls and emails daily, and I work hard to reply as quickly as possible.I've met many Realtors who are jerks. Are you?Depends on who you ask. If you ask certain agents who have stood between my clients and their real estate goals, they'll probably say "yes". A handful of people think I leave golden footprints in the sand. Those are the two extremes, and most people's opinion falls somewhere in the middle.Here's what I can tell you: I'm honest and candid. I take pride in being approachable and friendly. And if you need a quick real estate brain, or a strong dose of honesty, you're in the right place. Loyalty to family, clients, and friends is one of my core values.Do You Have experience doing exactly what I need?Until you tell me what you need, there is no way of knowing.These are "strong suits" of mine:* Experienced (licensed since 2004) and Full Time Realtor* Negotiating: See below.* Putting your needs first. Just ask my husband-AKA the "real estate widow"* Residential Real Estate. You need to buy it or sell it-I want to help you buy it or sell it.If your goal or situation isn't represented on that list, don't worry. Contact me anyway. If I can't help, I can get you referred to an another agent who can.What kind of work are you really good at?On a personal level, I'm pretty good at cooking (I make a mean flourless chocolate cake!), and I'm not too shabby at eating what I cook.On a professional level, here are the skill-sets that I've developed over the years:* Listening. Unfortunately, it's a lost art these days.* Candor. I will be open and honest with you about your needs and whether or not I am the best Realtor to help you* Negotiating. It's part art and part science. I have received the Certified Negotiation Expert (CNE) designation. What does that mean to you? I am among the top agents in the country in negotiation skills.*Staging a home to sell. I am a Professional Property Stager. That's right it's a real thing. I have been specifically trained to help a seller achieve a higher return on what may be their biggest investment.What do clients think of you?My clients are better suited to answer this for you. Here's what some of them have said.* Deana is very nice and will follow through no matter what information you need or want. I would always choose Deana as my realtor.* Deana certainly came to our rescue at closing! It was a tiresome road to get this house, during without a doubt the most stressful time of our lives. She had the house cleaned and lawn mowed and it was such a weight off our shoulders! She was great support during the whole process; very responsive and flexible.* Not only did I use Deana to purchase my first home, but ten years later, she helped me find my second home. Deana's knowledge of the area, her responsiveness, professionalism and patience are absolutely top notch! The buying process was quick and she was able to answer any questions I had immediately. You cannot go wrong with Deana as your agent!* Deana was a great realtor. It was my first time looking for a home to purchase, and she found my son and I the perfect place! Her responses were quick, and she was always there when I needed her. She was also extremely nice and easy to work with! We are so happy in our new home. Thank you Deana!* Selling my first home was quick and effortless with Deana as my agent!
