Deanna Davis
770-633-6158

As a licensed real estate agent since 1990 and broker since 1997, Deanna served as Relocation Manager for a major multinational hospitality company for many years, having managed the moves of 150-300 families annually. 

Deanna understands the stress on the relocating family and the challenges they face in juggling the move both in origin and destination. Having relocated herself from the west coast over 13 years ago with her two boys, Deanna has first hand experience with the process of uprooting and leaving the familiar. Combined with the myriad of decisions to be made and the anxiety experienced in moving to a new location, Deanna offers both valuable insight and empathy, along with a good dose of humor, that provide welcome relief to the family. 

Deanna thoroughly enjoys the "hunt" for the perfect house, seeking out properties to match her client's Wish List and making the experience fun. Once the perfect home has been identified, Deanna is determined to create a Win-Win for all parties involved. Her goal is to "never leave a stone unturned", managing the Contract-to-Close process with precision and relentless follow-up.
Deanna left the corporate world driven by her passion for responsive attention to her clients.  Her eye for detail, tireless work ethic, excellent follow up, and desire to fully understand exactly what the buyer's specific needs are is what separates Deanna from the run-of-the-mill real estate agent. 

Whether you are a first time home buyer or you've have purchased many homes in the past, Deanna is the premier choice for assisting you in making a smart home buying decision.

MONKEYS, BRIDES AND HOLLYWOOD…

Deanna´s upbringing and education disciplined her for hard work and provided her an eye for aesthetic detail, an important benefit to sellers interested in getting their homes sold fast.

As a child she worked long hours on her mother's cattle ranch which instilled in her a strong work ethic. While growing up, Deanna spent years sketching and making doll clothes in her off-time. Once at boarding school, her Art History teacher recognized this talent and suggested she pursue a field in the Arts. However, upon graduating with Honors in Biology she chose a pre-med undergraduate program, instead.

 During her college years Deanna dreamed of studying abroad and was able to seize upon a chance to do just that by securing a grant so she could conduct a research project in the West Indies where she studied monkeys. On the island of St. Kitts where monkeys were once brought over by Christopher Columbus, the primates were often trapped in the sugar cane fields by locals. Deanna used her sewing techniques she learned as a child to regularly suture up the injured animals. Always the nurturing type yet fascinated by human behavior, Deanna chose to conduct a Mother-Infant study which she later published in the Yale Journal of Primaetology.

 After completing premed studies at Cal Berkeley and UCSD, Deanna fell back on her latent desire to design clothing and went on to get a degree in Fashion Design. Desiring to have her own business, she designed custom wedding gowns for both personal clients and costumes for the movies in Hollywood during the 1980’s. This period of her life gave her the tools to manage and run her "hobby" like a business.

 Curiously, her entry into real estate happened quite by accident. Deanna´s interest in houses was kindled as a small child while living in Hawaii when the family would take Sunday drives and look at homes. Later, Deanna displayed an amusing propensity while on family vacations for cleaning up after the clutter left behind by patrons in public restrooms, thus earning her the nickname "Ajax". Still, even later she found herself helping friends and family eliminate the clutter in their homes by making them presentable prior to going on the market. Little did Deanna know but she was already "staging" homes!

 Not surprisingly, after obtaining her real estate license, she found real estate to be a very absorbing career choice. The result of Deanna's combined background, education and inherent creative talent have given her an eye for detail, and provided her the focus, patience and endurance in the demanding field of real estate.
