Not Your Typical Realtor. Not Your Typical Realtor Bio.
You loathe typical real estate agent bios. Don’t worry, I do too. They’re like cardboard -- stiff, bland, and identical to every other bio out there. Instead of boasting ad nauseum about awards and accomplishments you’re not interested in, I’m taking the novel approach of actually giving you what you want -- real answers to questions you’re probably wondering right now.
How long have you been in the business:
I have been a licensed Realtor since July of 2006.
Will you return my calls and emails?
Yes. Without question. I realize this is one of the major frustrations the general public has with dealing with agents. I get dozens of calls and emails daily, and I work hard to reply as quickly as possible.
I’ve met many Realtors who are jerks. Are you?
Depends on who you ask. If you ask certain agents who have stood between my clients and their real estate goals, they'll probably say "yes". A handful of people think I leave golden footprints in the sand. Those are the two extremes, and most people's opinion falls somewhere in the middle.
Here's what I can tell you: I'm honest and candid. I take pride in being approachable and friendly. And if you need a quick real estate brain, or a strong dose of honesty, you’re in the right place. Loyalty to family, clients, and friends is one of my core values. Want to really find out if I’m a jerk? Mess with one of those people.
Do You Have experience doing exactly what I need?
Until you tell me what you need, there is no way of knowing. These are "strong suits" of mine:
● Working with first time buyers
● Working with Sellers
● Working with FHA/VA/Rural Development Loans
● Rural Properties
If your goal or situation isn't represented on that list, don't worry. Contact me anyway. If I can't help, I can get you referred to another agent who can.
What kind of work are you really good at?
On a personal level, I'm pretty good at cleaning (I do my best work in the morning!), and I'm not too shabby at decorating.
On a professional level, here are the skill-sets that I’ve developed over the years:
● Listening. Unfortunately, it’s a lost art these days.
● Getting the job done, and not quitting until I do, or have exhausted all possibilities.
● Being honest and ethical.
What do clients think of you?
My clients are better suited to answer this for you. Here’s what some of them have said.
Deanne was knowledgeable and very helpful in our home sale. She went above and beyond our expectations. I would highly recommend her! When the buyers added repairs after inspection, Deanne personally met the crews on site so I didn't have to take off work.

Great realtor! We have interacted with numerous realtors in Butler County over the years while inquiring about various properties but she is by far the most dedicated and simply the best, bar none. She really puts in the time and effort to get you exactly what you are looking for and is top notch on both the buying and selling side of the market. I would highly recommend Deanne to anyone looking to buy or sell in the area....she's not pushy at all and uses her expertise, local knowledge, and experience to ensure a great customer relationship and home buying/selling experience....she'll listen to what you want and then do her very best to make it happen! She's the best around!

I indicated interest in a few houses over the Thanksgiving holiday not knowing where exactly my request would end up. Within an hour Deanne had contacted me. We scheduled an appointment to view a few houses, however I neglected to tell her how many family members were coming with me (14!). Deanne took it all in stride and was very helpful and professional. I lived in another state, but Deanne made it very easy to communicate through phone, text, and email. And no matter the mode of communication or time of day (there was a 2 hour time difference between us), Deanne responded quickly to my questions and concerns. Deanne was delightful to work with and now we are enjoying our new home!

I would recommend Deanne to any and everyone looking to buy a home in the El Dorado, KS area. I am not a huge fan of giving out online reviews but she was so incredible I couldn't help but provide one here. From start to finish we were in our home roughly within 30-40 days and the process was as easy as it could be. Deanne scheduled any and all inspection, appraisal, and title appointments; referred us to a local broker who found loan options better than Quicken Mortgage or Rocket Mortgage, and again... Had us in our dream starter home with about 35 days. It's simple... CALL HER!!

Deanne is a very determined woman with a drive to make her customers happy and satisfied. I know my dealings with my purchase drawn out over an extensive time (NOT due to her), she stayed focused and responded very quickly with any answers I needed. She always pointed me in the right direction when it came to any issue that would arise. I would recommend Mrs. Woodard to any person I know when it comes to buying or selling a home or property. Thanks again Deanne! You are awesome!

5 Stars down the board. Deanne made the process a breeze, even with all the new regulations she stayed on target and helped us navigate a short timeline and kept us in the loop with great communication and helpful negotiation to make us very pleased with Deanne and her ability to get us into the perfect home for our needs.
