As a Certified Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES), Donna is especially passionate about helping seniors transition into the next phase of life. She has helped many clients downsize and find homes that meet their evolving needs.

With compassion, patience, and professionalism, Donna provides expert guidance every step of the way.

Among her many accolades, Donna was ranked the #2 selling agent in all of Coldwell Banker New Jersey/Rockland County in 2017, and has consistently earned the NJ REALTORS® Circle of Excellence Award throughout her career—a testament to her dedication, skill, and outstanding service.

Prior to real estate, Donna worked as a mortgage company supervisor, giving her an insider’s understanding of the lending process. She uses this knowledge to guide her clients smoothly from pre-approval to closing.

Donna believes buying or selling a home is not just a financial transaction—it’s a life-changing experience. She finds deep satisfaction in helping clients at every stage of life, whether purchasing a first home, upgrading, or downsizing. Her seasoned expertise, strategic mindset, and personal touch make her the ideal partner in achieving your real estate goals.
