About Donna

With over 26 years of real estate experience and more than 1,100 successful home sales, Donna is a trusted and accomplished full-time sales agent known for her results-driven approach and deep market knowledge. A consistent top producer in her office, Donna’s track record of success reflects her expert negotiation skills, pricing accuracy, and unwavering commitment to her clients.

Donna’s extensive experience enables her to navigate every stage of the home buying and selling process with confidence and precision. Whether it's crafting a winning offer, navigating inspection negotiations, or pricing a home for maximum value, Donna consistently delivers outcomes that exceed expectations.

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. Her own personal experience assisting her parents through this transition has given her valuable insight into the emotional and logistical challenges seniors and their families face. With compassion, patience, and professionalism, Donna provides expert guidance every step of the way.

Donna also has extensive experience in multifamily and investment properties, having sold hundreds of these property types. She works closely with a network of investors, and is skilled at structuring “as-is” deals that deliver the best possible terms and pricing for her seller clients.

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.
