Jacqueline DeVane

Jacqueline DeVane learned the importance of customer service and attention to detail in her prior consulting career. Her own buying and selling experiences ingrained in her the resolve to provide a different kind of real estate experience to her clients - one that is full service and informative to both buyers and sellers. She is truly an advocate, advising buyers and sellers and guiding them through each step of the purchase and sale processes and beyond. Jacqueline ensures that her clients feel empowered and educated about their real estate prospects and that they know they can always turn to her when they need help even after the sale or rental is finished. One of her most rewarding experiences is to see that sparkle in a buyer's eyes when they realize they've glimpsed their new home for the very first time. Once Jacqueline sees that look, she will leave no stone unturned in helping the buyer and seller come together to achieve their common goal. A proud Bedford Stuyvesant homeowner, Jacqueline's specialty is sales and rentals in emerging markets. Jacqueline is truly a dedicated agent, selling and renting homes throughout Brooklyn, Queens and the five Burroughs from Bed Stuy and Crown Heights to Ditmas Park, Kensington and Midwood, and from Ridgewood to Astoria and South Ozone Park. Prior to becoming a real estate agent in New York, Jacqueline completed her Bachelor's of Science in Electrical Engineering at Drexel University and enjoyed a successful career as a Systems Engineering and Project Management consultant working with Satellite Communications, Transportation Management and IT systems with companies such as Booz Allen and Hamilton, Lockheed Martin, Orbital Sciences and Hewlett Packard. Jacqueline utilizes her well-honed planning and problem-solving skills, as well as her attention to detail to help her clients prepare for each step of their real estate transaction, from viewing to closing. She is an excellent listener and she has a keen ability to find solutions that bring parties together to find common ground and reasonable solutions throughout the buying and selling process. Jacqueline has lived in several major metropolitan areas along the East Coast, growing up in West Philadelphia, moving to Massachusetts after college, and then spending many years in Washington DC. She always loved New York City, and she discovered her home in Brooklyn, falling in love with Brooklyn's many neighborhoods, the beautiful brownstones, and the incredible array of independently-owned restaurants, bars and cafes.
