Deonte Barbee

Deonte, a Real Estate Broker & Investor Specialist at Keller Williams ONEChicago, comes from the wireless and telecommunication industry, as well as logistics working for Fortune 500 companies, where he spent over 20 years in sales, 15 of those being in leadership. A South Chicago native, Deonte has built multiple relationships through the workforce industry and community and has had a positive impact on many people lives. In late 2019, Deonte decided it was time to invest more in himself and the community by taking the next step and joining the Real Estate industry. As a Chicago Native, Deonte has had an opportunity to experience and see the deep diversity of the Chicago and surrounding suburbs. Deonte’s passion for Real Estate and Investing comes from buying his first home and seeing the excitement within himself when he got to the closing table. While going through his own personal home buying experience, it was evident that he wanted to extend that experience to others, and to help them make their dreams and goals become a reality, whether it’s buying your first home, selling your home, or investing. While going through any real estate transaction can be very emotional, Deonte’s priority and goal is to bring your vision to light, and will provide you with guidance and unmatched experience through your process, educate you through that process and provide market information, allowing you to make the right and best decision for you and your future. When he is not working, Deonte is an avid runner, running half marathons, a great cook for big crowds, and loves spending time with his dogs. Deonte holds a B.B.A & Management from Ashford University with honors, and has won numerous sales and leadership awards along his career journey. He is also the Founder and President of The Barbee Group, a team created to continue to drive education and wealth building in the Real Estate industry.
