Deveau Realty Team

When we were looking to move back to Houston from out of state, choosing John and Jihye as our realtors was the best decision we could have made. They helped us navigate multiple option periods and brought a deeper level of understanding to all of the negotiations and inspections involved in the process. Buying and selling a house are always high-stress times and especially so when doing everything from afar. We are so grateful for their partnership and expertise and look forward to working with them again someday!

I’m truly grateful that our boys played sports together, as it gave me the opportunity to meet John and Jihye. John’s background in construction was invaluable; he provided us with clear guidance on what we needed to do to sell our house. During our very first meeting, they came well-prepared with extensive information about our neighborhood, which impressed us greatly. Their professionalism and helpfulness were evident, and they seamlessly managed everything with minimal effort on our part. They took charge and ensured everything was done with our approval.I recommend their services to anyone looking to sell their home, and I can’t thank them enough for making this process so smooth and stress-free.

Jihye and John were a wonderful team to work with when buying our first home.John was instrumental in negotiations after the inspection and helped us every step of the way.

These two are a dream team - they complement each other throughout the different phases of the homebuying process, which results in an EXTREMELY seamless journey. We used Jihye and John as our realtors for our first home purchase, and it did NOT disappoint. Their expertise gifted us confidence, relieved stress, and the mentality to ensure that it would always work out in the end!We are SO glad we found them early during our home buying experience - so much that we will be using them for all our homebuying needs in the future!Oh - and did I mention that they still ensure our post home buying experience continues to be top notch? We love them!!K + Q

Absolutely the best realtor in Houston! Not only did Jihye and John help me find my dream home, they helped out a lot in getting me settled in as a newcomer in the city. So definitely recommend them for any Houston transplants looking for not just a house, but a home!

John and Jihye were wonderful realtors. We are first-time homebuyers, and they walked us through the process - especially dealing with inspections and negotiating repairs with the seller. They provided useful and honest feedback; we knew they were more interested in helping us find the right fit than with gaining business.

We worked with Jihye and John to sell our house in Spring Branch, and we could not be more pleased with the outcome. They made the process quick and easy, and they advocated for us throughout. We received five great offers on our house and recently sold it. We highly recommend the Deveau Realty Team.

It would be impossible to write a review fully encompassing everything Jihye and John did to make our first home-buying process as wonderful as it was. They are truly a dream team, their market knowledge is unmatched, their industry contacts are all top notch, they provide guidance through the buying process that I am confident we would not have received with anyone else, and all in all, they go entirely above and beyond for their clients from even before day 1 of the search until well after closing. We are beyond thankful and will continue to recommend them (i.e., shout their names from our rooftop), and use their buying/selling services for as long as we live in the Houston area!

Jihye and John were incredibly helpful over the course of our months-long home search. We took a while to find the right home, but they were infinitely patient and helpful while continuing to keep an eye out for listings. After we went under contract, they took what could have been a tricky process and made it as smooth as we could imagine. We would recommend the Deveau team to anyone looking to buy / sell in the Houston area, and we will definitely be using their services again ourselves!

My partner and I are new to the U.S. so it was extremely important for us to find a realtor who we could trust, knowledgeable and easy to work with. We found Jihye through HAR and we could not be happier with our decision. Her and her husband John are a dynamic duo where they play their strengths to help find their clients a dream home. My partner and I are very much… of a Type A people and are not the easiest to please, however, we found our first dream home in a neighborhood that we love within our budget. It’s been about 6 months since we moved in and they still go above and beyond to answer any questions we might have. We also appreciate how responsive they are and I would recommend them to anyone. Thanks again Jihye & John!

I had the pleasure of working with Jihye and John. From start to finish, they were exceptionally responsive, always providing timely updates and keeping me informed with the most current information. Their sincerity and hard work were evident in every interaction, and they made communication effortless with their clear and prompt responses.Jihye and John handled every detail meticulously, ensuring that nothing was overlooked. If youre looking for realtors who are knowledgeable, hardworking, and easy to work with, I highly recommend Deveau Realty Team.

I literally cannot say this to enough people: Jihye and John are without a doubt the BEST realty team you could have.Like, if they moved somewhere other than Houston and we had to move, Id genuinely have to consider moving wherever they were because wed need them as a realtor for the next place. They are THAT good.On a serious note, their knowledge of the market is unmatched, and so is the way they treat their clients from a customer-service perspective. But I think the best part about them is that they complement each other so well as a team. They know each others strengths and they utilize that, and it makes them an incredible duo.Weve worked with them multiple times over the last 5+ years, and we worked with them again to buy a house a few months ago. We were able to find our dream house in literally a week (we were shocked). The sellers were unnecessarily difficult, but Jihye and John helped us navigate the whole process from offer through closing very well. Any issues that came up along the way (including with inspection), they had an answer/solution for. Or, because theyre well connected, they had a contact they could rely on who was great. They also helped keep us on track with everything needed on our end for closing. And because we were in a different city relocating back to Houston, when we had a question about the property or something needed to be done, Jihye and John were always able to take care of it for us to save us a trip. Which we were incredibly thankful for.We are so lucky and thankful to have been able to work with them multiple times over the last few years, and will continue to do so as long as theyre still working They are the best, hands down.

John and Jihye were exceptional through our home-buying process. They were so patient with us as first-time homebuyers and we felt like we were safe under their guidance. Every communication piece was quick and they were extremely proactive. We have already recommended them to several friends!

Jihye and John have a great team working for them that got my house ready and sold fast. Jihye had a buyer lined up before it went on the market. My house went on the market on a Friday and by Monday I had multiple offers. They made the whole process easy.

As first time buyers and new in town, my husband and I had a lot of questions throughout the whole process, and Jihye was always helpful and responsive. She helped us to understand the market and find the best neighborhood for our growing family, and we ended up finding the perfect home in our first showing. Johns, her husband, extensive knowledgede on repairs and finance was a great asset too throughout the entire process. They make a great team and we definitely recommend working with them.

Jihye is absolutely amazing. She was with us every step of they way, through selling our old house, to the building and closing of the new house. We had some very difficult buyers that almost cost of both houses. She was always the calm voice of reason throughout the storm. She helped us to close on our new house just days after Harvey hit. It was nothing short of a miracle for us to be where we are. We are extremely fortunate. We were very lucky to have her and I would recommend her to everyone!

Our real estate agent, Jihye Deveau, was very professional and helpful throughout the home buying process. She gave us very practical tips to ensure that our initial offer was accepted and then helped us find highly competent inspectors. Her recommendations continued to support us as she also recommended contractors to fix up deficiencies that were found during the inspections. Jihye also helped us find a trustworthy remodeler to add the final touches to our home. We are very happy that we had Jihye supporting us throughout the process of making a purchase as big as that of a house! Although she must certainly be on a very busy schedule, she always made us feel as if we were her only and most valued clients. I would certainly reach out to her again for any real estate transactions in the future.

Our family is moving back to Houston after being abroad for almost two years. I’ve known Jihye for many years and I was excited to have her represent us for the purchase of our new home. It was difficult for us being abroad during most of the process but Jihye really made it go so smoothly. She was on top of every deadline and was organized and ready for any question or issue that came up during negotiations even with the time difference. She and her team were absolutely amazing! We truly appreciate the hard work put in by her and her team to make our home buying experience a pleasant experience. Thank you!!

John and Jihye were recommended to us by a family friend, and we could not be more grateful for that recommendation! Their combined market knowledge, professionalism, and genuine concern with how to best serve their clients was incredible. We had prepared ourselves for a long road with the sale of our home because of the experiences of some of our neighbors, and with their guidance and hard work we sold our home in two days. The entire process went so smoothly, and working with both John and Jihye is like working with old friends. They are honest with you about what needs to be done, and they get results. I can only say the best things about them!

As first-time home buyers, we began our home search with a healthy amount of ignorance and trepidation. Thankfully, we found Jihye. She not only thoroughly walked us through the home buying process, but was with us every step of the way. Whether it was dealing with our bank, needing to view multiple properties, or simply having random questions, Jihye was consistently available and truly willing to help. The amount of time and attention she devotes to her clients is phenomenal and unique. It is clear that she loves her job and finding the perfect house for her clients. And, for us, she did just that! We are now in our (first) new home in the Heights and could not be happier. We will be referring her to everyone we know who is in the market to buy or sell a home!

My husband and I were first time home buyers in the heights. We had many questions about the process and we truly valued being about to work with someone we trust. Jihye was helpful and responsive throughout the entire process. We felt like she understood what we were looking for and took the time to find houses before they hit the market. We could not recommend Jihye enough!

Jihye was such a joy to work with! As first time home buyers, she gave us a lot of confidence in our decision to buy a house and was always genuinely happy to answer our questions and share her expertise with us. Jihye made us feel extremely valued and truly cared for us throughout the entire process- after this experience we consider Jihye a friend rather than just our realtor. We will always use Jihye as our realtor and strongly recommend her to all of our friends and family thinking about buying and selling!

Jihye was top notch from beginning to end. She provided invaluable guidance on how to get my house ready to sell. This was extremely helpful as a first time home seller because I had no idea where to start.She helped me make a well-educated decision on listing price and watched the market closely providing me with frequent updates on any changes in the area.Very responsive to any inquiries that were made on the house from potential buyers.Very knowledgeable when it came to the negotiation and closing process, dealing with the title company, etc.I would highly recommend Jihye for your real estate needs!

Jihye and John were absolutely fantastic to work with. They are incredibly knowledgeable about the Housing Market and were very quick to respond to our many questions. We had a wonderful experience selling our home with them, and I would 100% recommend using them whether you are buying or selling.

***EDIT***2020Jihye was our realtor 3 years ago when we bought our first home and when we decided to move again this summer there was no question in our minds that we would work with her again. Not only because she is extremely detail oriented, has an excellent work ethic, and is highly knowledgeable....but also because she kept in close contact with us for the past 3 years and truly cares about us as homeowners and as friends. Both of our moving processes were so seamless and painless because of Jihye’s hard work and dedication (she provided a complimentary staging appointment, had a very visible social media presence, and as a result our home was under contract within a week of her putting it on the market!!) and we are eternally grateful! We were so blessed to have had the opportunity to work with her over the past few years. We love you, Jihye!!*******************************2017We truly had the smoothest home buying experience while working with Jihye. She is extremely detail-oriented, thorough, knowledgeable, and organized. Consistently throughout this process, she was sending us emails detailing the exact steps we should take to better position ourselves for buying a home. She was very quick to respond to calls, emails, and texts with any questions we had and her responses are always precise and to the point. When Jihye works with you, she makes you feel like you are her only client. She worked day and night to make sure that we found the perfect home. We could never have done it without her. We are so thankful for you, Jihye!!!

John and Jihye are an amazing team! We were first time home buyers. They were always available to answer any questions and provide guidance. We felt confident that they always had our best interests in mind.

Worked with Jihye to purchase first home. Met with her and her husband before deciding to work with them and could tell they make a very strong team. From that moment forward, have been exceptionally responsive 24 hours a day. Incredibly talented and brilliant to work with. Facilitated any decisions we had. Explained any questions we had. Expedited processes that Realtors normally have no control over. Went above and beyond. Afterwards couldnt have imagined working with any other. She made our first home buying a phenomenal experience and look forward to working with her on our next purchase. Absolutely recommend everyone to use Jihye

Jihye was a pleasure to work with. She was honest about what our budget could get us in the area and she stayed within that budget.Jihye promptly responded to all emails and text messages my partner and I sent.She went above and beyond at making us feel special during every step of the buying process.We would recommend Jihye for buying and selling your home!

Jihye was our fairy realtor! We had been eyeing a house for over a year and she made it happen off market for us! She is extremely knowledgeable and patient with all of our first time home buyer questions.We also got multiple offers on the home we are selling within a week of listing! So thankful for her!

I cannot say enough great things about Jihye & the rest of the Deveau Realty team. They did a great job of listening to our needs, helping us understand the home-buying process, being responsive to answer all of our questions and concerns. We also felt extremely cared for on a personal level, deeper than strictly a business relationship. We are thrilled to have found a perfect home to start our next chapter of life and extremely thankful for Jihye & the Deveau Realty team to get us there!

I recently became a first time home owner and Jihye professionally guided me through the entire process. Jihye took time to understand my needs and preferences with regards to what I was looking for in a house. She possess an excellent knowledge of real estate in the Heights area and always promptly responded to my questions. Throughout the buying process, Jihye provided me with some valuable pieces of advice without ever putting me under the pressure of making a decision. I highly recommend Jihye as your realtor if you are looking to buy or sell a property in Houston.

Jihye is amazing. She was super responsive and was always there to answer questions and guide me through the process step-by-step. She is very knowledgeable about the real estate market in Houston and provides great advice. Jihye is definitely a Heights Expert. She is honest and very hardworking. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone.

I have nothing but great things to see about Deveau Realty and the help they provided me in the purchase of my first home. Jihye was always reachable, knowledgable, friendly and professional. She went above and beyond with research to help my husband and me feel at ease about purchasing our first home in the greater Houston Heights. We will definitely be using Deveau Realty the next time we purchase or sell a home and would recommend Jihye to any of our friends and family looking to do the same!

Jihye was our realtor to find a rental in the Heights. We went back and forth on buying or renting for a while and she offered peaceable, realistic advice while never overstepping. Throughout the rental search she made us feel taken care of, she recognized what we liked and disliked and was SO accommodating, agreeing to meet us at a house on a Saturday on her way to date night. Once we were settled in she continued to check in to make sure everything was okay. She truly went above and beyond and we will be using her in the future!

My wife and I were first time home buyers. We were nervous about everything. With Jihyes help we quickly found our home and everything went smoothly. Everything was explained up front and in great detail. This could not have been a better experience. You need to use Deveau Realty whenever possible.

My townhouse (located in Houston, TX) had been sitting on the market for 5 months without gathering any significant interest from the potential tenants prior to hiring Jihye as my agent. However, things have changed dramatically once she took charge of the business. She immediately made the townhouse relevant on the market and attracted more than 30 potential tenants in the first two weekends, and that was all she needed to get my townhouse occupied with a qualified tenant. While she was working diligently to get my townhouse occupied, I was sitting in my home in San Antonio (3-hours away) comfortably. She took care of everything and when news came up I was informed promptly in a thorough manner. I was amazed by the amount and quality of her knowledge of the market and how accurate she was in examining the market sentiment which was utilized to facilitate the occupancy of the townhouse that had been giving me headaches for months. Surprisingly, my lingering headaches were gone just two weeks after she took the charge. Jihye certainly has shown and proven to me that she is a highly competent real estate agent by going far above my expectations. If youre looking for an intelligent agent with the deep market insights who will work hard and truly do everything possible to make your deals work, then Jihye is the agent you want to hire. She is a true diamond in the rough! I’d confidently recommend her to anyone in need of a solid real estate agent.

I cant begin to express my gratitude to Jihye for her professionalism throughout the entire process. My property was inherited and it took a long time before I found someone I trusted to handle the sale. You couldnt ask for a better person to represent you, whether youre buying or selling or both.

Jihye is wonderful! She was so kind and patient as we searched for a new home during a complicated time caused by COVID-19. She took extra precautions to make sure we were safe during our home tours and she provided valuable guidance as the market shifted. We cannot say enough good things about her. Thanks Jihye!

Wed been thinking of selling for a while but couldnt muster up the energy with 2 young kids and life in between. Wish wed done it a long time ago. We are so happy in our new place, and this team made the buying and selling process easier than we could have imagined. Highly recommend these guys. They will do the heavy lifting to optimize your return.

Deveau Realty did a great job helping my wife and I w/ the purchase of our new home. Specifically, Deveau Realty gave valuable guidance on how to make a competitive offer without overpaying. They brought forth comparable market analysis and helped us negotiate effectively.

Any client would be lucky to have the Deveau Realty Team on their side. Jihye and John are savvy, personable, and second to none when it comes to communication. Highly recommend!

Jihye was wonderful throughout the process and I cannot imagine a realtor being more responsive to what we were looking for in a home. My husband and I trust her wholeheartedly and would absolutely recommend her to our friends and family.

Jihye helped make the selling process as stress free as possible. She was always available to answer any questions I had or listen to my concerns. She also provided regular updates about showings and potential buyer feedback.

A seller in need, deserves Jihye (and John) indeed! For the third time in as many years, my wife and I entrusted our most important property decisions to the wealth of experience and knowledge that Jihye and John Deveau possess. Throughout our complete process, Jihye and John were available to answer questions and help guide us through what seems to be the ever-changing, complex, and continuously shifting real estate market in Houston.Whatever your plans are with regard to real estate in Houston, I can assure you that Jihye and John can meet your needs and will do so in a tirelessly kind, responsive, and urgent manner.Save yourself time, money, and some headaches and see Jihye and John first to get your needs met in Houston!
