About Deeana Owens

Deeana Owens is a Natural Born Leader. Born and raised in Oakland, California, Deeana has demonstrated a lifetime commitment to service and professionalism. She attended Clark Atlanta University, a Historically Black College, where she acquired her Bachelors of Arts Degree with a Major in Business and Minor in Marketing & Management. Deeana's Real Estate career began when she was still a college senior. She met a Keller Williams agent at a local Art Walk near campus, in a neighborhood called Castleberry Hill. This agent later became Deeana's mentor. Deeana was convinced to use her remaining available college classes to study Real Estate. Shortly thereafter, Deeana acquired her first Real Estate License in Georgia in 2006. Senior year in college was a great year for Deeana, not for academics, but for Real Estate. She was recognized as Rookie of the Year with the Keller Williams Realty: The Atlanta Classic branch. Deeana sold a $2M home in the prestigious Buckhead Atlanta neighborhood during her first year in sales; all while a student in college. Although Deeana was a rising star in her early Real Estate career, she noticed some changes in the market, prior to the 2008 crash. She predicted that the market shift would be difficult to sustain. Deeana transitioned her career to corporate sales and became an Account Executive in the Fortune 50 Corporate environment. Her work ethic and aptitude propelled her up the corporate ladder quickly. Deeana was relocated twice and promoted 3 times in 8 years. She has lived in Denver, Colorado and most recently New York City, where she also acquired a Real Estate License. Deeana developed invaluable sales, marketing, and negotiation skills while performing as an Account Executive for UPS and later FedEx. She spent several years demonstrating and honing an ability to develop meaningful and mutually beneficial relationships with C-Level decision makers across diverse backgrounds. She leverages this experience to provide superior service in the Real Estate industry. After several years as an Account Executive, Deeana decided to transition back to more impactful, life changing work. She moved home to Oakland in 2015 to pursue her Real Estate career. Deeana founded The New Oakland, a nonprofit organization with a mission to improve Wealth, Financial Literacy, and Homeownership in the African American community. In October of 2019, Deeana acquired her Broker License and founded Owens Real Estate Inc., a company committed to service and community. Owens Real Estate is Deeana's solution to an ever-changing industry where agents are being commoditized and devalued; where community and culture are being cannibalized. Deeana is committed to creating an agent-centered, client focused, community of culture and excellence. Contact Deeana today to have your Real Estate needs met.

Deeana's professional skills as a realtor is excellent. I am a senior citizen that needed to sell my townhouse for health reasons. Deeana came in and explained the whole process with the most positive attitude and with simplicity. I was put at ease after our first visit and gratefully put my trust in Deeana to sell my townhouse for which she did within a month time at the asking price. Deeana is excellent at her profession, diligent and caring. I really needed a realtor that was senior friendly, patient, and caring, I received all of that plus from Deeana.

Chasiti walked me through the process with knowledge and with an understanding about the end goal. I really appreciated her patience and professionalism. For example she explained exactly what we could expect as far as the sale price. She also worked creatively to find different ways to advertise and present my condo.

Hiring Deeana was one of the biggest regrets my family did this past year. We gave her a chance because initially we believed in her skills to sell the home quickly, and wanted to support a black owned business. THAT DECISION TURNED OUT TO BE A DISASTER. Under Deeana, deals fell through because of her lack of professionalism, she disrespected and cussed out members of my family, and buyer agents, all while we our mother was terminally ill. She made this process the worst experience we could ever imagine. She locked us in a terrible contract which we couldnt get out of, and held us hostage to sell our own house. It took her nearly 10 months to sell the home, and the reason why it sold is because we had to hire additional help to manage her process. If you are a potential client, I highly advise that you look the other direction and find a more professional realtor that cares about their clients.

We couldn't be happier with our first home purchase, thanks in large part to Deeana Owens. From the very get go, Deeana was very professional and helpful in explaining each stage of the process. She suggested properties that met our needs and budget, got additional info on properties that we took an interest in, and helped us think through the many considerations and tradeoffs. Her knowledge of Oakland's neighborhoods was particularly valuable as we had to expand our search radius to areas we weren't familiar with. When it came time to making an offer, she was extremely efficient getting the paperwork together and communicating with the seller's agent. We would definitely do it again, and highly recommend Deeana to anyone looking to buy a home in the easy bay.

Deeana made the home buying process easy. She was thorough with her explanations and gave great advice when it came time for negotiations. She was also extremely easy to get a hold of, always just a phone call or text away. I felt very confident in her ability to get me the house that I wanted and she did just that.
