I love and embrace my career as a realtor in the city I adore! My long standing connections and past endeavors make it a natural and enjoyable pursuit. A previous career in interior design allows me to use that knowledge to help both buyers and sellers optimize the value of their homes. I take pride in truly listening to my customers and understanding their goals.
Buying and selling can be stressful and I work hard to keep the process stress free and enjoyable for you. Donna was amazing! We were out of town buyers and she was phenomenal in helping us understand the area and where we should concentrate our house search. We only had two days to look for homes and she was incredibly efficient, pre screening homes and sending us listings as they came on.
When we arrived, Donna's relaxed and easy manner helped ease our anxiety as we navigated buying in a new area. Although we weren't sure if it was possible, Donna delivered and we found a fantastic home in two days! She managed the home inspection and all the other details we were less familiar with buying in another state.
