Deanna Garza

★★★★★
"Deanna was wonderful to work with. She was patient with both my wife and me as we navigated our different desires for our next home purchase. Once we settled on the home we wanted, she was even more engaged as we worked through the escrow to the final closing. Through the search and escrow process, she was always available to look at new listings and offer advice about specific areas and neighborhoods. Buying a home can be a very stressful process, but Deanna made that process a little more relaxing and rewarding. The next step is to have her market and sell our land in Dripping Springs." - Mike W.

★★★★★
"Deanna is wonderful to work with. She is knowledgeable and cares about getting the best price possible for her clients. She knows the market, and she is always available to help us in any way that she can and answer any questions. Truly a wonderful, wonderful person" - Jeffrey B.

"My partner and I got so incredibly lucky when we were referred to Deanna Garza and her amazing colleague Adam Baker from multiple friends of ours! We are first-time home buyers and felt completely lost going into the home-buying process. Deanna & Adam took the time to constantly check in with us, walk us through listings we were interested in, and explained every step along the way in thorough detail. Deanna and Adam put so much thought into the little things, even after we had closed on our place and were settling in. We put an offer in on a house after a few months and when we realized it wasn't the right place for us, they were so understanding and went right back to work helping us find the perfect home. We were able to find our DREAM home and with their knowledge and expertise, they created the perfect offer on the house that was within our budget and enticing to the seller. Our offer was accepted the following morning and even beat out an additional offer! A week later, we are in our first home, lying in our new living room writing this review, and can't thank the two of them enough for everything." - Kristie L.

★★★★★
"My partner and I bought our first home this year. I was recommended by friends and multiple coworkers to reach out to the Garza Baker Group with Compass. Deanna and Adam were so kind and helpful throughout the entire process. They were very patient, always making time for phone calls and answering our many questions. I felt very supported by both of them and that they both did everything they could to help us find the perfect place that met all our needs. I will definitely be working with them for any of my realty needs in the future." - Holly W.

★★★★★
"Our experience with Deanna was amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure we had all our bases covered while selling our home and kept us very reassured in the evolving market. Because of her advice, we were able to list easily and find a buyer within just a few days. We would completely recommend Deanna to anyone looking to buy or sell their home. " - Miranda

★★★★★
"Buying a home is always a highly complex process, especially the first home. I was lucky enough to have Deanna helping throughout this process. Her experience, patience, and dedication enabled me to find, design, and finally purchase my home. I would strongly recommend her services. " - Oz

★★★★★
"Deanna and her team member Adam Baker at Compass were incredible realtors for us first-time homebuyers. The market in Austin is extremely competitive for buyers, and they did everything they could to make sure our offers had a fighting chance, from running checks on comps, using their network to find upcoming listings, and providing round-the-clock updates on our offers. When we did get an offer accepted, there were some complicated aspects to the deal that required Deanna and Adam to get creative. Without getting into details, they managed to get us a great outcome and made what could've been an extremely daunting negotiation much less stressful. Not only did they get us through the buying process, but they've stayed in touch, following up on everything from arborist referrals to protesting property taxes. We could not be happier with our choice and highly recommend them to anyone looking to find a home during this crazy time!" - Ashley W.

★★★★★
"I really appreciated having Deanna Garza on our side during our home buying process. We were first-time home buyers and she helped to make the process easy to understand and was with us every step of the way. We started our process in November 2020 and she stuck with us through all the delays and inconveniences until we finally were able to close in February 2022. She was always easy to reach out to, quick to respond and went out of her way to assist us when possible. She has a team of experts on her side who were also willing and ready to assist - from her Buyers Agent to Home Inspectors and everything in between. Deanna fights to ensure her clients are taken care of! I highly recommend Deanna!" - Sylvia R.

★★★★★
"Words can’t describe how amazing Deanna Garza was throughout our entire process. She’s very professional and knowledgeable. Even if it was something she didn’t know the answer to, she told us she will figure out and always got back to us in a timely manner. We started our process in December of 2020, KB homes just finished our house in February 2022. Yes, very stressful and long process. If it wasn’t for Deanna we would have back out of our now beautiful home. The things we had no clue to ask Deanna were right there making sure we got the best help possible. She went over and beyond to make sure we were happy and understood what we were getting into. We gained a realtor and a friend as well. Thank you Deanna for being the great soul you are." - Dejaun L.

★★★★★
"I have been working with Deanna for a number of years and simply put: She is the best! I began real estate investing in my 20s and am now almost 68 and have met a number of real estate professionals over the years and none compare." - Charlie C.

★★★★★
"First, everything I have to say about Deanna extends to Adam Baker as well. They functioned incredibly well as a team, and between the two of them, I felt someone was always available and willing to help. From the outset, Deanna and Adam were there to guide us through what could've been a very arduous, confusing process, especially since we leveraged a 'buy before you sell' program, adding essentially an entire second sale to the process. They were happy to meet outside of business hours, utilized technology to help us meet & explore homes virtually, went to homes we were interested in to gather details without us being there and were our advocates from the day we made contact, up to (and even after) closing. WIth realtors I've worked within the past, I've felt like they've taken a reactive approach, responding to questions but not proactively letting us know what to expect next, projecting timelines, or discussing inroads we might have in terms of negotiating best value. Deanna & Adam truly worked on our behalf, made *very* effective recommendations on how to strategically position ourselves in negotiation, and were instrumental in getting us what I think was the best price for the home we wanted most, a price that was materially below the list price. I have high expectations when paying for services, including realty, and Deanna & Adam exceeded those expectations. They reached out regularly to ask what questions we had, to let us know what the documents we were about to sign meant, and have even provided recommendations for home improvement services when we requested them after closing. Most importantly, I trusted them. Since we know that commission structures are based on sales prices, it can be difficult to build that trust. They were candid with their assessments of comps & relative home values and were forthcoming about the market. Ultimately we bought one of the most expensive homes we saw, but I didn't feel like we overpaid because I trusted that they wouldn't let that happen without me knowing about it. We also never once felt rushed, even though we expressed that we were motivated. That was huge. I'll recommend Deanna to every one of my friends that looks for a home in Austin, and I hope you'll relay our satisfaction with the experience to Deanna & Adam. We wish them the very best." - Josh H.

★★★★★
"Deanna and Adam were so amazing during this whole process. These past couple of years have been so crazy for the housing market so it took us almost a year to find something. They were super patient and helpful in finding the right place for us. They are very knowledgeable and really helped us to understand the house buying process a little better. I would highly recommend working with Deanna and Adam." - Sara V.

★★★★★
"My experience with Deanna has been amazing! She and Adam were attentive, professional yet friendly, and empathetic. They made my first home buying experience smooth sailing, " - Sonma O.

★★★★★
"I had a great experience as a first-time buyer with Deanna. She was able to explain the process to me, translate the information I received from the builder/seller, and served as a great go-between between us when I had questions or when issues arose. She's very professional and knowledgeable and the information she provided to me throughout the process was very helpful in areas where I felt inexperienced. She's continued to help me after the sale with small issues that have come up. I'd certainly recommend her to others and/or use her services again and will be sure to put some reviews up online. I initially requested her help as a realtor because of the previous help she had provided to me when searching for a rental property." - Brittany

★★★★★
"It was and always has been a wonderful experience working with Deanna. She was the realtor who brought us to the property in 2012 as renters and helped me research a proper offer price in 2014 when we purchased the property.
In the last 3 months, she has gone above and beyond in helping us get the house prepared for sale, staging, maintaining the appearance while it was on market, and all the little details that we could not easily attend to since our move to San Antonio in 2019. Without her, the amount of stress and hassle to get the home sold would have been tenfold what it was. Her advice to prepare and stage the home was also spot on given the current softening of the market. " -- Hannah W.

"TESTIMONIAL" - CLIENT FIRST NAME AND LAST INITIAL

★★★★★
"First, I would start by saying that this was my first experience buying a home. I had a lot of anxiety coming into this since I had a very particular situation that not only had me moving out of my rental house in 60 days but also had me up against a wall with time since I also needed to secure a home within 6 weeks, meaning that I really only had 1-2 weeks to find a place that would accept my offer.
Deanna worked quickly and diligently on my family's needs and expectations. Within a day, she had choices laid out before the wife and me. We were able to see a property that stood out to us. We loved the property, and we wanted to make a bid on it immediately. That night my wife wrote the sellers a personal letter and spoke about how we were looking forward to raising our family here and continuing the amazing work that they had started. Deanna helped us finalize a template, and the sellers accepted our bid even with the other competing bids. We were so excited.
Deanna walked us through all of the steps, had regular check-ins, and made us feel like family. We owe so much to Deanna for all the help she gave us and all the faith she instilled in us while we were waiting for the appraisal to come back. Even after we closed on the house, she still checks in with us to make sure that everything is running smoothly. She offers guidance and ensures that we are still getting everything we signed up for.
Thank you so much for making her available to us. You have a very special realtor here, and she deserves all the best." - Louie R.

★★★★★
"Deanna provided such a great experience throughout the whole process. With the housing market as crazy as it is here in Austin, it was very difficult and frustrating at times, but I could not have purchased my first home without Deanna's help. Her knowledge of the market was outstanding, and she was there helping every step of the way, even after closing! So thankful to have Deanna throughout this process and recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a house in this crazy market!" - Andrew J.

★★★★★
"Deanna is helpful, genuine, and kind; she took all of the stress out of our search for a rental house. We have friends that she has helped find rentals in the past and then eventually buy houses, and they had infinite compliments for her. During the walkthrough of the house we ended up renting, Deanna even pointed out which direction the front of the house was facing, which I found completely lovely. When we were signing the lease with the property manager, he had many compliments for Deanna’s knowledge, negotiation skills, and professionalism, and he said we were lucky to have her in our corner (we agree!). When we’re ready to buy a home in the future, we will definitely be reaching back out to Deanna. Thank you so much, Deanna!" - Tatiana R. + Dillon O.

★★★★★
"Deanna has been the most patient and knowledgeable person and has helped me through this very challenging process of buying a home. She works tirelessly to make sure I am informed about the house and area I am looking into to prepare me as best as possible to help me buy my new home. I would recommend her to any of my friends looking to buy or sell a home!" - David G.

★★★★★
"When we started working with Deanna Garza and Compass, we were in need of guidance. We'd had our property on the market for months with little interest. Deanna and her team helped us get a plan going to get the house sold. With her help, we were able to sell the house for the amount we wanted in a very short amount of time. She is extremely professional and easy to work with, and all of the subcontractors she recommended were also great. Hire Deanna Garza and Compass to get your house sold fast!" - Scott C.

★★★★★
"I have been and will continue recommending Deanna Garza to anyone I know who is looking to buy a home. She was so personable and professional. I felt comfortable and safe with Deanna immediately and through the entire home looking/buying process. Deanna was my safety blanket when dealing with the inspector and the loan company. I am confident when I say I would not be in my dream home without Deanna being so on top of everything. The market seemed so crazy and scary once I was able to start looking to buy. Deanna was quick, confident, her communication was 100% clear, and she was beyond knowledgeable.
I had a friend who was looking to buy a home with a Realtor who was a friend of her brother. She said she felt like the relator was annoyed by having to help her answer questions or meet to look at homes. After A YEAR of looking at him, she dropped that guy and started working with Deanna. Within two months, she found the home of her dreams. I knew once I was ready to start looking, there was no one else I wanted to work with other than Deanna Garza.
Throughout the whole process, Deanna was a text or phone call away. (I am concerned Deanna never sleeps. She answered emails at 6 am and 12 am) Deanna is magical and a special human. I can tell she works extremely hard, but she does it with grace and makes it look easy. I’m thankful for getting to work with Deanna Garza. Five stars! " - Elissa U.

★★★★★
"We recently sold our home with the help of Deanna Garza. We couldn’t be in Austin physically, so Deanna treated our condo as if it were her own. She made sure it was in perfect condition to sell and personally saw that it looked fabulous for potential buyers. Once it went on the market, we had multiple offers, all exceeding our listed price. It sold in a week’s time. Deanna is absolutely the most thoughtful and considerate Realtor and person. You can’t go wrong using Compass to sell or buy." - Julia K.

★★★★★
"Deanna was recommended to us by a colleague for our first time home buying process, and we are so glad to have been able to work with her. From our initial consultation all the way through our closing, Deanna was always there to help us understand what we needed to do and what to look out for, while always being attentive to our needs. Despite going under contract shortly before the COVID-19 situation escalated, we were still able to close ahead of schedule without any issues thanks to her help navigating any situation. Deanna also connected us with a local lender that was able to secure us an amazing rate! We would highly recommend Deanna for anyone looking to buy a home and would work with her again to buy or sell another home." -Paul + Maria G.

★★★★★
"I bought my first property with the help of Deanna Garza. I couldn’t ask for a better agent to guide me through the process! Deanna is extremely knowledgeable about the buying process and the Austin area. Beyond providing me with a GREAT buying process guide from RA, she took the time to crunch the numbers, dig into the data and present it all to me with context, so I felt informed and confident in my decisions. Deanna was highly attentive, checking in with me and making herself easily accessible and available to answer any and all questions I had. She was also always able and willing to provide me with helpful resources and recommendations. I am grateful to have had Deanna help me find and buy the perfect property for me; it was a great, smooth, and painless experience. Deanna is such a gem; she really cares about her clients and gives us the personalized attention the property buying process requires. I’m looking forward to working with her again in the future! 10/10 would recommend working with her!" - Nereida Z.

★★★★★
"Our agent, Deanna, helped us find the perfect home in a couple of weeks, even during the pandemic. She was helpful and knowledgeable, which was great as first time home buyers." - Mandi C.

★★★★★
"Deanna was really perfect for us as we worked to get our house ready to put on the market and then listed and sold. She is full of great ideas and suggestions and was willing to help us figure out whatever issue or problem we had with the house and make decisions about which upgrades and updates would be most beneficial. She has a great disposition and happily answered our questions, and we had many. When the house was ready to sell, she did an outstanding job with the listing and the listing photos and then organized and helped us manage the offers we got. The house sold quickly, and we were happy and hopefully, the buyers as well." - Beki H.

★★★★★
"Working with Deanna was the best part of our first time home buying process. The builder we decided to go with was very difficult to work with, to say the least, but Deanna really put her skills to great use in helping advocate for us and making sure our home was everything we had signed up for. She was truly a blessing to us, and I couldn't thank her enough.
She was very hands-on and made sure she knew every detail of what we did want and didn't want in a home when we first began the process. She helped us open our eyes to the luxuries of a newly built home, all while making an effort to send us older homes to look at. Being available whenever we had questions (and we had a lot) was so helpful. Not only did she spend countless hours helping us along the way to finding our dream home, but she has continued to keep in touch and provide information that will be useful for years to come. Overall, on a scale from 1 to 10, I would give Deanna a 10, and I plan to refer her to friends in the future." - Darlene E.

★★★★★
"Deanna Garza was the angel I needed. She helped me through the process of house selling, mold remediation, and selling again. She was able to keep me calm when all I wanted to do was cry and scream. All my t's were crossed, and I's were dotted with her guidance. I've told everyone I know all about her!" - Jessica T.

★★★★★
"My husband and I just bought our first house. I have heard so many stories about how confusing, frustrating, time-consuming, and arduous the home buying process is, especially in a place like Austin. So, while I was extremely excited to be buying a house, I dreaded what we were going to be dealing with. Enter in a friend who recently bought a house and said he liked the experience and the Realtor that he worked with, Deanna Garza. We met Deanna and appreciated her knowledge of everything we could expect to encounter during this process. She gave us timelines, tips, and didn't make me feel like a total idiot for as much as I didn't know about anything regarding home buying and homeownership. She made us both feel very comfortable; she was quick in response time and always outlined the next steps in the process. We found the perfect place in a short amount of time, and now we're officially settled into our first home. THANK YOU, Deanna, and Compass for a great experience." - Brandy C.

★★★★★
"My husband and I are first time home buyers. Deanna Garza at Compass is the most amazing agent imaginable! She is super knowledgeable about the Austin market. She worked so hard to help us find a house that feels like home and was available for all the silly questions we had through the entire process. Buying a home can feel overwhelming, and Deanna made it manageable, pleasant, and fun. I strongly recommend her to anyone looking for an agent!" - Francesca M.

★★★★★
"I have worked with Deanna Garza since I moved to Austin in 2014, and I finally closed on a house with her this month.

★★★★★
"Deanna Garza is a hard worker with exceptional people skills. She battles for you to get the home that you want, and I am grateful for having the chance to work with her. I would highly recommend her and Compass." - Derek D.

★★★★★
"Deanna has now served us with three transactions since my sons moved down to Austin and I must say that she has been the best real estate agent that we have ever dealt with. My wife and I have purchased and sold many houses, and we have not had an agent that was as dedicated and detailed as Deanna. We truly appreciate her and will only be using Deanna in the future as my family makes roots in." - Michael B.

★★★★★
"Deanna was great! She was a pleasure to work with, and I think she went above and beyond to help make the search, pre-closing, and closing process as smooth as possible. I will definitely refer Deanna to any other people I know who are looking for a home" - Victoria J.

★★★★★
"We worked with Reisha Lacey and Deanna Garza, who are amazing! We reached out to them to get our house on the market ASAP, and they didn't disappoint. In less than two weeks, the house was on the market and sold over asking price in 3 days. They are a great team, and I couldn't recommend them more highly." - Rachel C.

★★★★★
"We cannot overstate how important Deanna was to get us into our first home! Starting almost four years ago, Deanna gave Marisa and I a realistic and actionable plan to becoming homeowners. She showed us a few properties that were in our price range and met our needs at the time, and we realized those properties were not what we wanted. She gave us perspective and was so helpful to put us on the right track. We took all the advice she gave us to heart and here we are in the house we wanted! During the past few months, Deanna was always available to us and going far beyond what we expected. She was positive and knowledgeable about every question and concern we had. She stayed in close contact with our lender and was two steps ahead of us at every turn. I remember the night before Thanksgiving we had an unexpected issue come up. Deanna set up a call with our lender, and we had all the information we needed within a few hours. Deanna is dedicated and committed, and without a doubt, we would not be where we are today without her help. She was wonderful to work with, and we would recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a home. She is a fantastic agent, and we consider her a good friend!" - Patrick M.

★★★★★
"Compass' Realtor, Deanna Garza, is one of the nicest and most hardworking people I've ever had the privilege to get to know. She is very knowledgeable about the Austin market and can take you safely through the maze of buying a home. Deanna is truly a delight to work with. If you are looking for a home, we highly recommend that you contact Deanna." - Julia K.

★★★★★
"Deanna went above and beyond the call of duty to help us secure the perfect home. She coordinated lots of moving parts surrounding services and contractors and successfully kept our deal on time and track when lots of things were possible causes for delay. We couldn't have found a better Realtor! Additionally, Compass has a lot of great tools we were able to use in the process of searching for a home. We had a wonderful experience as first-time homebuyers." - Kate P.

★★★★★
"Working with Deanna is a pure pleasure. We value her honesty and desire to provide the best possible service. Her attention to detail allowed us to see a potential pitfall that could have seriously affected the transaction. Because of Deanna, we had a seamless sale that was very satisfying for both parties. We have and will continue to refer Deanna to anyone we meet looking at doing any real estate deals." - Charlie C.

★★★★★
"We had a terrible homebuying process a few years back and we were scared of it happening again. Couldn't have been more opposite. Deanna was awesome (same with Selena). Both of them were very open and easy to work with. We had questions, they had answers or got answers very quickly for us. The whole process was super smooth and we couldn't have had a better pair to work with. Deanna and Selena were great and we felt things went so much better because of them. They didn't have to do anything other than help us find our house, but they made us comfortable. They even got our pooches a dog cake on closing day! Such a great experience." - Bill A.

★★★★★
"What can I say. Deanna is amazing. She went and does go above and beyond to help. Amazing in every way...more than words can express. She made a stressful situation easy and I think she is amazing! Did I say I think she is amazing?" - Freja W.

★★★★★
"Deanna is wonderful. She really exceeded my expectations. She was in contact with me constantly. I was truly amazed how many details she took care of. Even when the seller's agent was just being difficult as can be, she just kept trying to work it out with him. She is incredibly patient. I would have hung up on him and walked away from the deal. She really went over and beyond. She still is! Reminding me to call the HOA and helping me take care of all kinds of things. She is truly wonderful." - Tony W.

★★★★★
"Deanna put the \P\" in personal, detail and exceeded our expectations! When these times come along, we were overwhelmed as me and my wife were going through a job transition and we almost backed out on the purchase. Deanna stepped in and turned it around with comfort and assurance, at the end we ended up with more than expected. We recommend her in a flash to anyone seeking to purchase property as we will when our daughter and family move here from the West Coast. "" - Juan G.

★★★★★
"I have been working with Deanna Garza at Compass. Deanna is a 10 Star Realtor. I was trying to buy a house in Austin, I was making full price offers and not getting a contract. Deanna was the listing agent of a house that we wanted but didn't get. When we lost that house, I picked up the phone and called her to see if I could gain any insight into where I was going wrong. While Deanna couldn't talk about specifics for that property, during that 30-minute conversation, I learned more about the Austin housing market than I did during 4 weeks of working with my Realtor. A week later, after recognizing that my Realtor was moving a little slow for the Austin market, I contacted Deanna and told her I would like to work with her. It was a great decision. Deanna was really on top of the market, she found houses for us that weren't listed yet and ultimately we were able to buy a property before it was ever on the MLS thanks to her relationships and negotiating skills. I was an out-of-town buyer which added to her workload. She never dropped the ball on keeping me on task and serving as the go-between on the numerous questions I had because I was not in Austin. We are closing on our house on Friday morning and am forever thankful to Deanna. Please consider yourself fortunate if you have the chance to work with Deanna, she is the absolute best and completely changed my experience as a buyer in Austin. I recommend her without hesitation." - Laura B.

★★★★★
"Deanna is one of the kindest people I know. She helped me both buy and sell the property on Grove. She is thorough and conscientious. As an agent I would say she is extremely respectful of all parties, and measured in her approach, rather than aggressive, which has its benefits. Whenever I would lose patience with the other party with whom we were engaged, her kindness and soft manner would invariably defuse the situation. For a client like me who tends to get stressed and emotional in negotiations, this can be a great help. In my view, Deanna will grow exponentially in effectiveness as she gains experience in the tumultuous Austin market. Her kind manner and, indeed, "personalized service" will earn her repeat business clients for years to come." - Hope M.

★★★★★
"I recently purchased a home in Bouldin with the help of Deanna Garza. I am new to Austin, and, even though this purchase was fairly quick, Deanna made sure I had a really thorough idea of various locations and neighborhoods before I bought. She drove me around many times to see properties, was always available, and worked through some issues that came up with the sale. She goes above and beyond to make sure her clients feel comfortable and sure about what they are purchasing. She explained the process at every step, and I really feel we worked as a team. Deanna is also a very sweet person, and a friend now." - Elizabeth G.

★★★★★
"Deanna Garza is a very kind, pleasant person with whom to work. She is knowledgeable about the Austin area and really listens to her clients. We loved having her to navigate us through purchasing a home in Austin." - Julia K.

★★★★★
"Deanna went above and beyond ensuring all of the needs of the house were well taken care of. Communication was also a top priority. There was never a time that I felt like I didn't know what was going on. It was a great experience, not only did I learn a lot but I never felt really stressed or pressured about anything. She also gave many options when offering opinions or insight in regards to the remodel and market. The fact that she has the ability to work with all types of people and is an absolute perfectionist made the process that much easier and the sell of the house quick and painless. Thank you so much for working with us. I wish Deanna and Compass were out here to help me buy some property in west Texas." - Kelly

★★★★★
"When I decided to sell my home, I chose Compass for one reason: Deanna Garza. While I hadn't kept in close contact with her over the years since we first met, her kindness had a lasting impression on me. Most recently, as my real estate agent, Deanna far surpassed my expectations. She's responsive, knowledgeable, and as genuinely kind as ever. She knew my home's worth, was able to successfully navigate a particularly challenging obstacle, and made the negotiation process worry free for me. Thanks for your hard work, Deanna! You made it easy for me. " - David C.

★★★★★
"W hen the right property came available, Deanna viewed the property for me in advance, took detailed notes, and made sure it was the right property before I viewed it. We beat three other offers in the UT area and Deanna presented various strategies and numbers to help keep us aware and focused. This investment was very important for my entire family, and Deanna helped us meet our goals. " - Tommy

★★★★★
"Deanna was and is awesome, our lender told us the same thing about her. After working with several realtors we decided Deanna was for us because not only is she quick to reply but she also shows up when we asked or needed her to. We felt very comfortable with her. She even helped us when she didn't have to. My kids were so excited to meet her and even decorated their own rooms so they could show her. It was a pleasure." -Maria

★★★★★
"Deanna is delightful. I had worked with Deanna many years ago at Whole Foods Market and have continued to stay in touch with her here and there over the years. Deanna helped me list my house to rent many years ago and I knew I wanted to stick with her for any further ventures regarding my property. Back then she was extremely time efficient, considerate and very professional. When I contacted Deanna to sell she was with another company but very soon into discussion she told me her new position with Austin Reality. She told me that she would love to take me with her (she had talked to Steve and had their blessing) but would understand if I wanted to stay with the company who had managed my property for years. Of course I would follow her! I wouldn't choose any one else to list my property! Once we started, there were many things that needed repairs and updates. I had planned on going there to get it all taken care of but Deanna was so on top of it I never had to worry. Deanna sent me multiple quotes for repairs, had an amazing list of referred professionals and was honest and upfront regarding timelines and costs. Once repairs began Deanna was giving me daily updates, sending photos and videos of before and after shots. If I had taken time away from work and family to do this myself, I would have never had the eyes and ears of someone in the business who knew people, their value, and making sure they did their job right. I would have never been able to accomplish or get people to accomplish half of what Deanna did. Deanna was everything in this process and went above and beyond her job as a listing agent. Once the repairs were completed and ready to list, Deanna continued to be efficient, considerate, and very professional, even despite the personal loss she was going through at that time. With Deanna I never felt forgotten about, she always returned emails, text messages, and calls as soon as possible. She was extremely honest with our pricing. I would recommend Deanna to any one especially someone who needs a little bit more care and attention or isn't sure what they are doing, like me! Deanna is so kind and easy going that it would be hard to feel uncomfortable or uneasy around her. You can tell she knows what she is doing and has so much passion for it. I may seem biased because I worked with her at Whole Foods so long ago but I have enjoyed watching her grow and exceed the expectations she had for her self back then. She is a true gem and I hope you all feel lucky to have her on your team." - Sarah S.

"Deanna has helped me find multiple homes in central Austin since I've known her since 2005. She's been in real estate in Austin for nearly a decade, and she really knows her stuff! What I really appreciate is that Deanna knows the new and upcoming neighborhoods in Austin. Plus, she's willing to do whatever it takes to get you your dream house. And she's probably the sweetest person ever, so not only will you find a great place, you'll enjoy the process." - Tess B.

"I had recently moved from Chicago to Austin in September of 2014, which was somewhat daunting due to the fact that I had never been to Texas before. When I first arrived, I was living in a neighborhood that I did not feel comfortable in, needless to say I was extremely anxious to move. I met Deanna Garza through a mutual acquaintance and it was clear from the start that working with Deanna was the right choice. Deanna was professional, patient and extremely knowledgeable. Based on the personal information I provided, she was able to quickly assess and narrow down the areas of Austin that would be best suitable for me. Deanna was spot on with her choices and within a week I was already in the process of moving. I have recommended Deanna to both friends and family without any hesitation and will continue to do so in the future!" - Kathleen G.

"We recently worked with Deanna on our first home purchase, and she was absolutely fantastic! Finding an agent to work with was a challenging step for us, but the moment we teamed up with her, she brought a sense of comfort and calm to what sometimes felt like a very stressful process. As first-time homebuyers, we were naive to the processes and challenges that are typical when negotiating home purchases, but Deanna guided us through it in a sincere and patient manner. She kept us informed and up to date on what was going on and always explained what the next steps were going to be. She was extremely available and accommodating whenever we had questions, and I could tell that she cared about us as clients. Deanna helped us get into a home that we love, and we couldn't be more appreciative." - Nick + Monica

"Deanna was so supportive from start to completion when relocating from London, England to Austin. She helped make the transition seamless and her attention to detail was great. She took time in understanding our requirements, visiting a cross section of properties in different neighborhood's to help provide us with a clear picture on what was available across Austin before we made our decision. Deanna went above and beyond in aftercare, supporting moving in day and regularly checking in to ensure we were settling in well into our new home and helping to troubleshoot any issues we had not foreseen with moving to a new country. I would highly recommend Deanna - she is an absolute delight and made our move \across the pond\" ten times easier. " - Neil A.

"As first time home buyers, we were completely unaware of the challenges of the home buying process. Thankfully, we had a wonderful, intelligent, and resourceful realtor. Deanna guided us to find the ideal home in a great location. Every step of the way, Deanna accomplished to aid us and made us feel absolutely confident. We are incredibly grateful for her services and will definitely recommend her to our family and friends." - Rosalia + Richard

"Deanna was super helpful when I had my house on the market and was looking for a new home. She listened carefully when I described my needs (a key one of which was that it be located in specific boundaries so I could keep my kids in their current schools) and really did her homework. She presented me with a sales comparable for my home and put together a list of homes for us to tour. She was always patient and cheerful and gladly addressed the selling agents with any questions I had about the properties and offered valuable professional insights about the properties we viewed. I would use her services again in a heartbeat." - David D.

★★★★★
"Deanna was patient and persistent during our home search. We had our hearts set on a particular neighborhood, and she worked with us until we found just the right home for us in our top choice neighborhood. She was an advocate for us every step of the way." - Matt + Audrey H.

"We worked with Deanna to find a home for our new family and will continue to use her in all of our future real estate endeavors. As first-time home buyers, we were a bit scattered with our priorities and expectations of the market, but Deanna helped us to sort out what truly mattered, and tempered our expectations without it feeling like a compromise. Having recently moved from the Pacific Northwest, it was a shock coming to Austin and trying to find a home in the right location, that would fit all our needs, and remain on budget. We gave Deanna a seemingly unattainable wish list before we were really ready to buy, but she immediately had us set up with constant updates on potential neighborhoods and homes. Deanna continued to work with us, refining our search and our wish list until we settled on the Windsor Park/University Hills neighborhood. Knowing that we were months away from even considering a purchase, Deanna still took the time and gave us her full support in the process. We were glad she did because after looking at only two homes, we fell in love with our soon-to-be first home. As any homeowner knows, the buying process can be a painful/drawn out ordeal, but Deanna made it seamless for us. Her professionalism, knowledge, and calm demeanor kept our process short, streamlined, and most importantly, painless. We ended up in a minor bidding war with an all cash buyer, but Deanna managed to tailor our story and offer to ultimately close on the home (below asking price no less). She continued to provide support long after the purchase, facilitating requests from the previous owner and agent as issues arose, and continues to this day to make sure that we are settled and happy with our purchase. We would highly recommend Deanna to anyone looking for real estate representation in the Austin area and will certainly employ her again. Thanks Deanna!!" - Luke A. + Alexandra B.

"Thank you Deanna for our home in Hyde Park, we absolutely love it here! She got us the perfect location and exactly what we were looking for! Our little dog Flash is a big fan too! We couldn't be happier but if the need for change were to arise Deanna will be the first person we're calling. Thanks again!" - Matthew, JO, + Flash

"Deanna helped me find my first home when I moved to Austin over a year ago and she recently helped me find my second home. As I was new to the Austin area, Deanna made me feel comfortable and she listened carefully to help me figure out exactly what it was that I truly wanted and needed in a home. She is patient and extremely knowledgeable about every neighborhood in Austin and she is an excellent negotiator to boot. I was lucky to rent a fantastic little condo unit in Clarksville and I absolutely loved it! When it came time for me to move again, she was quick to respond to a request on a new and unique home in the Mueller district. Again - the perfect fit. Her quick action got me in the door and signing a contract before any other clients had a chance - and that made all the difference. Deanna really knows what she is doing. I would trust her instinct on any property and neighborhood in Austin. You couldn't find a kinder or more honest agent to help you through what can sometimes be a stressful experience. Deanna makes it a breeze. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is in need of finding a new home or apartment. She is the best! Thanks D!" - Jennifer G.
