Let’s get you home.
Meet Deanna
I'm Deanna Benzenberg, a lifestyle-focused real estate professional who helps clients discover not just a home, but the life they truly want to live. Based in Lakewood and serving the greater Denver metro area and communities west of the city, I offer local insight shaped by 17 years of living in Colorado. Originally from Indianapolis, I combine Midwestern hospitality with a deep appreciation for Colorado's unique neighborhoods and that incredible sunshine we all treasure.
My journey from the wine industry to real estate might seem unexpected, but the connection runs deep. Just like wine, home preference is deeply personal and influenced by countless components. There's no single "perfect" choice, only what feels right for your lifestyle and dreams.
My understanding of real estate goes beyond professional training. I've lived through the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis as a homeowner, managed rental properties, overseen an apartment complex, and navigated multiple cross-country moves.
I've bought and sold my own homes, experienced the stress of selling during a market downturn, and learned firsthand how life changes can reshape your housing needs. This real-world experience means I truly understand what you're going through.
When I'm not working with clients, you'll find me checking out wine and foodie spots with my husband and friends, hitting trails with our two dogs, paddleboarding, entertaining at home, traveling (only four states left to visit!), volunteering at my daughters' schools, camping along the Upper Colorado River, or cheering on my favorite sports teams.
But back to you …
Whether you're drawn to luxury properties with mountain views, cozy neighborhoods perfect for first-time buyers, or unique lifestyle properties like those with live water access, I match homes to visions, not just numbers.
Through deep community knowledge, honest guidance that avoids time-wasting wild goose chases, and detail-oriented support that keeps you on track through every deadline, I provide the comprehensive partnership you deserve.
My mission is to reinvent how you experience real estate by making homeownership feel both accessible and exciting. Ready to discover what home really means to you? Let's start this journey together.
The Art of Lifestyle Matching
My wine industry background gives me a unique edge in understanding what you really want versus what you think you should want. Just as I could guide someone from "I only drink Chardonnay" to discovering their perfect Chenin Blanc, I help clients move beyond their initial house-hunting assumptions to find homes that truly fit their lifestyle and personality.
It's about reading between the lines and understanding the deeper preferences that lead to lasting satisfaction. Whether you're drawn to luxury properties, live water estates, or finding the perfect neighborhood fit in Denver's diverse communities, I match homes to visions, not just numbers.

The Seller’s Path to Profitability

You'll receive detailed insights about current market conditions, my proven marketing strategy, and clear expectations for every step ahead.
During our listing presentation, we'll establish the optimal price for your home using thorough comparative market analysis, and I'll show you exactly how I'll position your property to attract the right buyers who appreciate what makes your home special.
