My Story

Read about Deanna's Story and how she started the REAL REI Results Business.

Deanna and her husband Johnny are both veterans of the US military. They've been married for 25 years and have two children named Brandon and Alyssa, along with a cat named Missy. After leaving the US Air Force, Deanna got married in September 1998 and began searching for a meaningful job that would allow her to make a positive impact in her community. Over the years, while Johnny was in the US Army they have lived in various places throughout the country including Fort Polk, Louisiana, Schofield Barracks, Hawaii, Sierra Vista, Arizona, Atlanta, Georgia, and several locations in Maryland after Johnny retired from the military.

Military Housing

WHERE It Began

In September 2001, Deanna was employed as a Housing Counselor at the Fort Shafer Family Housing office in Hawaii, working for the Federal government. She was responsible for assisting military members and their families in finding suitable housing based on their family size and placing them on the military housing waiting list.

"As a veteran of the US Air Force and a military spouse, I understand the significance of finding a team of people who can assist you with your housing needs. "

Still working in Family Housing

After moving from the island of Oahu in Hawaii, we lived in Sierra Vista, Arizona. Deanna continued to work for the Federal government at another military Family Housing office in Fort Huachuca, Arizona as a Housing Counselor in June 2002.

Real Estate Career

After her husband retired from the military in June 2004, they relocated to Atlanta, Georgia. They purchased their first home in July 2004, which they later rented for 16 years. Deanna worked as the Property Manager for ten years. Because she enjoyed working with families in the family housing office, she decided to pursue a career as a Real Estate Agent. Deanna enrolled in a real estate school to obtain her Georgia license and she learned about industry practices, concepts, and terminology. This allowed her to evaluate property values and communicate effectively with homebuyers, sellers, and investors.


Her main goal was to help families looking to buy or sell a home. When Deanna started working for Your Home Super Store Realty Agency, she learned a lot about credit and loans, which made her realize that she wanted to educate customers during their first meeting. Deanna taught them about credit, non-credit-driven loans, and ways to improve their credit score. Because of her willingness to teach others, she made lasting friendships.

I AM DEDICATED TO PROVIDING PERSONALIZED AND PROFESSIONAL SERVICE TO EVERY CLIENT.

Deanna strives to provide personalized and professional service to every client. In April 2007, Deanna moved from Georgia to Maryland and decided to obtain a real estate license in Maryland. From July 2007 to January 2011 Deanna worked with East Baltimore Development Inc. as a Real Estate Officer. She has helped countless homeowners in Maryland sell their houses quickly and efficiently.
