About Deven
I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and Corporate Communications with an emphasis in Public Relations from Santa Clara University, and a Master's Degree in Special Education from the University of Arizona. I am very involved in the Durango Area Association of REALTORS®, currently serving as the 2023 President and previously as Treasurer and Director. In 2023, I graduated from the Colorado Association of REALTORS® Leadership Academy, and in 2021, I was honored with the DAAR REALTOR® of the Year award and the DAAR Distinguished Service Award. I also received the Wells Group Excellence Award in 2019 and was named the Wells Group Rookie of the Year in 2015. Continuing education is important to me, and I have earned the National Association of REALTORS® Real Estate Negotiation Expert (RENE), Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR), and Resort and Second-Home Property Specialist (RSPS) designations.
Jason and I set our sights on living in Durango shortly after we were married, knowing we wanted to raise our family in this wonderful mountain community. We enjoy camping, hiking, mountain biking, fishing, skiing, and cheering at our kids’ sporting events! I have participated in full and half marathons and shifted my focus to trail running, taking advantage of the amazing trails in La Plata County. We love fostering dogs from Parker's Animal Rescue and have adopted one adorable dog, Luna, into our home.
I am proud to be a part of The Durango Team and look forward to the opportunity to work together to achieve your real estate goals.

07/16/2015 - Stuart D Crespin Bought a home in 2015 in Durango, CO. A TRUE PROFESSIONAL! We first met Deven when we decided to retire to Durango. It was a chance meeting because she was the only agent in the office. After introductions we got down to the business at hand. We had a couple of properties in mind that were not listed with her agency, but she was more than willing to help us. She made arrangements with the listing agent to gain access to the properties, worked around our schedule for the showing, and met us on time. We decided on a specific property and began the process of purchasing it. Deven kept us completely informed of what was expected of us, how the process would proceed, and all other attendant requirements. Every step of the way Deven kept in contact with us by text, email and phone. Text and emails would arrive well into the evening hours when I am sure she would have rather be spending time with her family. She also made sure all pre-sale repairs and maintenance where performed as required by the contract. After the sale she continued to check on the property even though she was under no obligation to do so. As a retired judge and lawyer I can say that it was a real pleasure to deal with someone of Deven's character. Her professionalism, and genuine concern for her clients is truly refreshing. I encourage any prosplective buyer or seller to contact Deven for a truly unique and satisfying experience.

Romosheryl - Durango, CO Deven was personable, responsive and authentic. She was prompt in responding to our needs and even anticipating them at times. We have worked with many realtors in the past. Her skills went above and beyond any we have worked with. We are very appreciative!

We recently bought a second home in Durango and couldn't be happier! Deven Meininger with the Wells Group put together a list of potential properties that exactly met the criteria we'd given her - with her diligence we were able to find the perfect match on the first day of looking! Deven and the Wells Group team are complete pros when it comes to knowing the local market, managing the process and keeping clients well-informed every step of the way. She successfully negotiated the right price point for the purchase and, when the going got a little rough through an error on the part of the lender, Deven's stellar inter-personal skills saved the day with the sellers and all parties concerned. This is the second time we've done business with the Wells Group and highly recommend them! R&L - Durango
