About Deana

A Neighbor Who Knows the Market

I don't just sell homes in Lewis Center — I live here, I know the streets, the schools, and the people. That local knowledge is something no algorithm can replicate, and it's the foundation of every deal I close.

Whether you're a first-time buyer navigating your first offer, a seller looking to maximize your home's value, or an investor searching for the next opportunity, I bring the same thing to every transaction: honest advice, relentless advocacy, and a genuine investment in your outcome.

As part of the Henkel Homes Realty Group at Red 1 Realty, I work within a team that shares my commitment to transparency and results. You'll always know where you stand, what to expect next, and how your goals are being pursued.
