Deanna D’Egidio
Built from the ground up.
One extraordinary sale at a time.
Deanna D'Egidio grew up in Los Angeles in a family of real estate entrepreneurs. Her grandfather immigrated to America from Italy and worked in real estate, and Deanna grew up going to his development projects alongside him. She learned firsthand what it looks like to build the American Dream — a lot of hard work and a lot of sacrifice. It is a story that has never left her, and a passion that still fuels her today.
After completing her Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration at the University of San Diego, she and her business and life partner Alex Duk found themselves climbing the corporate ladder but feeling truly unfulfilled. One day they sat down, talked honestly about what they wanted to build, and made the decision to start a real estate brokerage from scratch. As Deanna puts it, they decided to light their resumes on fire. And real estate changed their lives.
Six years ago she helped bring Harcourts to Los Angeles, building the office from the ground up. She remembers sitting in the audience at a Harcourts conference in those early years, looking up at the stage and quietly telling herself that one day she would be standing there. For three consecutive years now she has been. Number one agent in all of Harcourts North America. Over $350 million in career sales. An average list to sale price of 106 percent.
Her client base is built almost entirely on referrals and repeat business. She does not look at client relationships as transactional. Many of the people she has worked with over the years are now like family. Her mantra has always been clients for life. Whether you are buying or selling today or in ten years, she wants to be a valuable resource for you and your family every step of the way.
Most agents list homes. Deanna transforms them.
Long before a property hits come. Today Deanna’s team operates with their own dedicated staging van, their own inventory of luxury furniture and a bespoke design process refined across hundreds of Los Angeles properties.
The open houses she runs are a production. Her team brings in fresh stems, beautiful pillows and linens to create a bespoke and curated design that is entirely custom to every property. What that translates into is a buzz of buyers coming through the property and leaving with an emotional experience — one where they feel genuinely attached to the home.
The marketing that follows is equally curated. Premium photography and cinematic video production are standard on every listing, distributed across YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, Zillow and Harcourts' global network. Homes listed with video receive four times more enquiries than those without.
The majority of Deanna's listings sell above asking price. Many set neighbourhood records. And every client feels genuinely looked after from the first conversation to well after the keys are handed over.
