"My business is relationship based and client focused. I believe in the simple golden rule of ""treating others how you expect to be treated"". I work hard, listen well, and thrive in a process driven environment. I believe optimal results happen when all parties are working along the same timeline to success. Purchasing a home, whether it be your first time, ready for an upgrade, looking to down-size, or are ready for an investment property, all come with a unique set of challenges and rewards. I pride myself in being detail oriented, energetic, positive professional that can make your real estate goals and dreams a reality! Growing Up I was born in Farmington, MN and am the oldest of four siblings. Our parents moved us to a rural location outside of Castle Rock during my middle school years and I finished school at Randolph High School. I loved being part of a small school where I could be part of and excel in many academic and athletic programs. I attended Mankato State University where my focus was business management. My Career Path I have had a fun career path that began in the restaurant industry. I've proudly managed customer relations and staff for much of this time. Early years I oversaw operations at The Tavern of Northfield Restaurant & Lounge, and the last eight years have been overseeing operations at The Ole Store Restaurant. Sprinkle in a few years in the Chamber of Commerce industry as well as a non-profit that's focus was leadership for women in the foodservice industry. Fast forward to 2019, I followed a dream I've had for many years and became a Realtor! I'm beyond excited to continue my passion for helping people, my love of this community, and my business experiences together to be the best realtor I can be for each person I'm privileged to work with and alongside. My Downtime Most would say I don't allow myself much, but when I do you can find me hanging out with my husband, any one or more of our ""Brady Bunch"" of two sons, two daughters, two daughters-in-law, and five grandchildren or sharing my day with my sister and close friends. My Mission To help my buyers and sellers along their real estate journey by creating a fun, stress-free, enjoyable process so they can feel secure and taken care of each step of the way."

Seller Review
Josh, Northfield, MN
Deanna demonstrated an enthusiastic and knowledgeable approach to the preparation of our home, the communication with potential buyers, and the closing process that proved to be uniquely tricky. Deanna took each obstacle in stride, and remained optimistic with us all the way to the finish line.

If you want a knowledgeable agent who
can handle challenging home sale issues
and quickly solve problems with grace,
kindness, and patience. Deanna Cross is it! She helped me sell two homes at the best
prices! Her kindness and expert guidance
made stressful situations much easier. She
was always there when I had a question
and remained positive and encouraging
through obstacles. I highly recommend
her and her husband, Bob. I spoke mostly
with Deanna this time. Both of them did an
amazing job with my previous home too
(which is why I chose them again). So glad
I did!! You will be glad you did too.

Buyer Review
Sofia Viruly - Northfeild
As a first-time home buyer, it was important that I felt heard and that I was dealing with someone who could break down the jargon so that I understood the steps of the process and did not feel like I was making a decision I did not fully understand.
