TESTIMONIALS
Raving Fans...
"Deanna went above and beyond! This process can be exciting and stressful all in one. When something needed to be done, she was there to point us in the right direction or took the initiative and set things up herself with the contacts she had, taking the stress off of my husband & I. Her knowledge and expertise is apparent and much appreciated. Deanna listens to what her clients needs and cares that those needs are met. If you are selling your home or looking to purchase, I recommend Deanna Fortney 100%"
-Jennifer & Dan - Sellers
Deanna is the best of the best! She is very knowledgeable of the Fairfield - Cordelia area & was more than happy to work with our work schedules to show us the homes we wanted. She will treat you like family & stay on top of your transaction as if it were her own !
-T. Johnston - Buyer
We sold our home with Deana's help, and bought another as well. She was there for us, showing us countless homes that we might be interested in. She spent significant time helping us every step of the way, and we appreciated her exceptional expertise in the Solano county real estate market. She works with great people who were also helpful. We not only sold our home, but the one we bought is exactly what we told her we wanted. We recommend Deanna Fortney as a top tier agent!
