Deja Land made the move from her small town of LaPlatte, Nebraska to the great city of Houston in 2002, seeking opportunity and growth. She soon invested her time into Real Estate, and quickly headed the advertising and marketing department for a top producing company.

With a strong desire for success and drive to take her business to the next level, Deja attended Champions Real Estate school earning her Real Estate license. Deja quickly proved herself as one of the Top Producing Bellaire Agents and a Million Dollar Producer.

Deja believes her success is directly reflective of the personal attention and time she puts into each and every client. She is known for her hands on approach - need it be staging, minor repairs or touch ups, helping clients pack and prepare, or planting flowers to add to the curb appeal for her sellers. She also attends to her buyer clients, showing them all of Houston and traveling into surrounding cities as requested, even coordinating airport pickups and drop-offs for her traveling buyers. There is never a matter that Deja is not willing to address full forced and head on and with the utmost care and consideration.

"In my eyes, my clients become an extended member of my family, many of them remaining friends long after the transaction has closed. They are trusting me with their greatest investment, their time, and the place they call "home". I will always go one step further, and then an extra 10, to make my clients lives and the sale or purchase of their home easier and stress free".

When Deja is not in the office, accommodating clients, or hosting open houses she enjoys anything active and outdoors.

My job is to make people feel welcome, and to connect with them. I've always had a passion for client service, that's all about actively listening to help them find the ideal home, in the time frame they desire, with the least amount of stress for them. I want to make sure that I don't tell them what they want to hear, but hear what they want and find a strategy to help them achieve those things with integrity and excellence. I perform gracefully, execute on behalf of our clients, and create a solution road map to these challenges that they face. Representing you in the purchase of your future home, or marketing your home with the right strategy is what I've been called to do. I know that relationships are more important than transactions. I'm committed to building positive relationships and friendships by working with people I admire, respect, and who values the services I provide. Working with a Realtor can save time and money because it gives you the advantage of dealing with a market expert who can guide you through the maze of financial twist, contracts intricacies, inspections, and negotiations. Choosing one agent to work with means you can use your time wisely and ensure that he or she fully understands all your needs.

Having lived in 4 continents, I have learned that no matter where you are, relationships are at the heart of every aspect of life. The Golden Rule is indispensable, we must treat others with the same integrity, loyalty and respect that we expect for ourselves.  These are the principles upon which I built my career.  

Being a Realtor is my passion!  Loving what I do is reflected in my commitment to provide my clients with an uncompromised level of service.   

After personally experiencing several relocations and a number of real estate transactions, my priority is to simplify for others the process of selling, buying, leasing or building a new home. This personalized level of service can only be done by understanding every client's needs or dreams through constant communication and teamwork.  

I would love the opportunity to guide you through this journey and earn your trust, referrals and repeat business.

He has processed and sold transactions of every type of foreclosure from REOs and HUDs to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac foreclosures. He has an expansive knowledge of many transaction types that make him a tremendous asset with well-rounded advisement in any residential real estate transaction. 

Although it has taken me over 30 years to get back to Austin, I am thrilled to finally be here, and even more thrilled to be able to work both in Austin and Houston! As a graduate of St. John's School (where both my husband, Bennett and my daughter, Ellie - class of 2015 graduated as well) and after earning my English degree from the University of Texas, where I was a member of Kappa Delta Sorority, I pursued numerous adventures in Houston - from owning a sports bar, to being a family law legal assistant, to running our family's oil and gas business. My latest adventure was my decision to reinvent myself after all these years and go back to school and earn my real estate license!.

With over 30 years of personal real estate experience buying and selling numerous properties (homes, condos, farm and ranch), once I got my license, I went to work cutting my teeth in the highly competitive Houston market and earning a considerable number of professional designations including: GRI (Graduate Realtor Institute), ABR (Accredited Buyer's Representative) Certified Home Marketing Specialist (CHMS), Certified Negotiation Expert (CNE), Master Certified Negotiation Expert (MCNE), Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR) and Accredited Luxury Home Specialist (ALHS) - tools that allow me to provide excellent service to my clients.

I represent all ranges of buyer and sellers in both Austin and Houston, from first timers to experienced veterans, guiding my clients step-by-step through the intricacies of the purchase process. My advanced real estate education and skill-set allow me to make the home buying experience as seamless as possible. From the very beginning of the process of choosing a lender for a pre-approval, to selecting and screening homes, to negotiating the murky waters of the sales contract, to ensuring all deadlines are met, to making sure all t's are crossed and all i's are dotted, I oversee the entire transaction with my full and undivided attention to every detail.

As one who loves to be creative and “think out of the box,” I view situations from a fresh perspective and don’t get bogged down with how things have always been done. I also have a wicked sense of humor, and love people and animals. My mother once told me that people are not loved for their strength of character, but rather for their amiable weaknesses. I must confess that my amiable weakness (according to my husband and daughter) lies in my innate inability to cook. So I draw upon the kindness and generosity of my clients and friends to provide me with foolproof recipes that I can share.

During my spare time, you can find me relaxing at our farm in Round Top, cheering on the Texas Longhorns, on the beach in Port Aransas delving into a good murder/mystery, developing another fool-proof recipe, or visiting my daughter up at NYU.
