Deane Cheatham

I cant say enough about The Deane Cheatham Team. I have now completed 5 transactions with Deane in the last 16 years. I contacted Deane on a Wednesday and had a contract on my house by Monday over the asking price. I needed the carpets cleaned and Deane got that done the next day before it went on the market. This contract fell through on a Friday afternoon (Buyers backed out) and Deane got me another contract by Sunday for more money than the first contract. Deane reacted and held an Open House the Saturday (next day) after the contract fell through. Deane did a video walkthrough of my house and had the professional photos taken and posted online immediately after the carpets were cleaned. Deane is the hardest working guy in the business. After the sale closed, Deane traveled 4 hrs to bring my wife and I aluminum tumblers as a gift for trusting him with the sale of our home. It wasnt a hard decision to go with Deane and it shouldnt be a hard decision for you either.

I had initial meetings with Deane where he listened to what I want to do, my timeline, other considerations etc and we laid out a plan and timeline to achieve my goals and maximize the sale. Deane has a wealth of knowledge and contacts and people on his team that assisted with the staging of my home, recommendation for improvements, taking the best pictures for the listing including a wonderful video showcasing and narrating my home, the listing and the open house. When time came to list the home, everything was fully prepared and ready to go and his team had tools available to run the scheduling and open houses smoothly and extremely successfully. The listing with its great pictures, video and description drew a huge interest. The agents supporting the open houses were on top of the game ensuring signage was timely displayed for potential buyers to easily find the home. After the sale, the team continued being in contact with me providing services needed to conclude the sale.

Deane began working with us in 2017. He helped us find identify changes we would really enjoy for a few years that would also add value and make the home more marketable when the time came to sell. As it approached time to sell over the past year, Deane consulted with us multiple times to update our strategy in step with our remaining time and budget as well as changing market conditions. When the time finally arrived to put the house on the market, Deane and his team made the process as easy and fun as you could ever hope for. Approaching the situation with his characteristic creativity and sense of humor, he and his team produced an Oscar-worthy video and a top quality listing, organized a weekend of appointments and open-houses, and brought us more and better offers than we ever would have imagined. Even with contract in hand, Deane and his team were available with advice and answers to questions we had about preparing the house for the buyers and closing.

Ive known Deane for a long time and trusted he would help us through the sale of our home of 20 years, in which we have raised our children. However, it wasnt until we began our process that I obtained a full appreciation of Deanes knowledge of the market (nationally, regionally and locally). Deane came ready with a handful of trusted folks for painting and repairs that gave us comfort. He and his team were able to provide specific guidance on preparing and staging our home, such that we almost didnt want to leave. We listed our home on a Thursday and had our contract that Saturday. We strongly feel our success was due in large part to Deanes expertise in pricing and marketing our home.

Deane has been my Realtor for almost 20 years now. His professional demeanor is characterized by his commitment to his customers total satisfaction whether buying or selling, his constant follow through & follow up on real estate concerns that I may have for future plans with my home & his never ending stay in touch way. I count on Deane for all of my realty needs & would recommend him to anyone in search of a trustworthy & genuine person to represent them in buying or selling their property.
