About Harry Dheedene

Hi, I'm Harry Dheedene, a seasoned real estate executive with a passion for driving revenue growth and streamlining processes. With a Bachelor's degree in Real Estate from the University of Antwerp, Belgium, I laid the foundation for my successful career in the industry. My educational experience taught me the importance of meticulous planning, strategic thinking, and effective communication skills that have been instrumental in my achievements. Throughout my 17-year career, I have successfully led multimillion-dollar real estate projects, specializing in high-end custom homes and commercial developments. As the CEO/Owner of Housed Inc, I have negotiated and acquired profitable properties, showcasing my expertise in due diligence, financial forecasting, and project financing. My ability to expertly navigate complex regulatory processes and obtain entitlements and permits has ensured seamless project progression. As a strategic leader, I co-founded Rila, Inc, a Real Estate App startup, where I played a key role in shaping the company's vision, mission, and long-term goals. I contributed to product development, marketing strategies, and revenue optimization, securing substantial funding and strategic partnerships. My experience in representing the company in high-stakes investor interactions has honed my ability to build strong relationships and drive business growth. In addition to my real estate endeavors, I acquired and revitalized France Bakery in 2015, implementing strategic initiatives that led to a 23% increase in revenue within the first year. I ensured operational excellence, maintained high-quality standards, and expanded the customer base through targeted marketing, resulting in consistent yearly revenue and cash flow increases. As a Real Estate Project Development Manager at DDNE, LLC, I identified strategic sites for commercial projects, conducted due diligence, and negotiated legal agreements, ensuring advantageous terms and mitigating risks. I prepared detailed investment packages, securing funding and valuable partnerships for successful project launches. My experience collaborating with architects and engineers has allowed me to optimize site plans and adhere to stringent design and safety standards. Throughout my career, I have demonstrated my ability to excel in project management, market research, and investment analysis. My expertise in contract negotiation, financial management, and team leadership has enabled me to drive revenue growth and streamline processes.
