A Buckhead native who still answers her own phone.

Deneé was born and raised in Buckhead. Her parents had a habit of buying the tired house on a good street and turning it into the one everyone slowed down to look at, and she grew up on job sites and open houses. She never lost the taste for it. She spent 28 years alongside her late husband Scott Sizemore, a remodeling contractor, and between the two of them there was not much about an Atlanta house they had not seen behind the walls.

Before real estate she spent 12 years at Delta Air Lines, then owned and ran an advertising agency with her father. That is where the marketing instinct comes from, and the habit of calling you back before you have to wonder.

Licensed for more than 25 years, Deneé has sold 42 homes across Mount Paran, Buckhead, Chastain Park, Sandy Springs, Vinings and Smyrna, 9 of them on Mount Paran Parkway alone. She raised her two children on the Northside and served for years as a board member and treasurer of both the Mount Paran Parkway Neighborhood Association and Warren T. Jackson Elementary School (now emeritus).

What you can expect

Honest, knowledgeable and straightforward is how her clients describe her, and she works to keep it that way, because a referral is the only advertising she has ever really trusted. She treats a $300,000 condo with the same care as a $1.4 million house. If you cannot be in town, she handles the whole thing and keeps you in the loop by text.
