Donna was a great realtor to work with for finding our first home. She carefully explained steps in the home buying process and listened to what we were looking for in a home/location in order to find homes for viewing. She was patient in the process and very quick to turn around paperwork in this competitive market. I highly recommend working with her.

Donna was incredible during our house hunting and subsequent purchase. She worked with us despite being 3000 miles and 3 time zones away, willing to meet at the times that worked for us and use technology to its full capacity in finding us the right home.Donna was prompt, efficient, and on top of all the nitty gritty details that come along with the process of buying a home. This is the fourth house that we have purchased, and this was the best experience weve had working with a realtor, especially considering the challenges of distance, COVID restrictions, and time of year.Donna went above and beyond: she picked my wife up at the airport on closing day, took her on a tour of our new neighborhood, and gave the hometown advice that all new residents need to know about the area.We would absolutely use her skill, expertise, and knowledge again if we have to purchase another house in her area.

In 2015 Donna helped us to purchase our first home. We searched for the better part of a year before she helped us find the home that was right for our family. While we were looking, Donna spent countless weekends driving us around to showings and talking to sellers. We are not always the most decisive folks, especially with decisions that big, but Donna was always patient with us. She never put pressure on us to make any decisions that we werent absolutely certain about. (We were especially grateful to her for this given the almost frenzied real estate scene in our area.) It was also my impression that Donnas advice was always based on current market data and given with our best interests in mind. She has never missed a beat in returning an email or text and, when things got stressful, Donna was always calm and reassuring. We just recently sold our first house with Donna as our agent and are so happy we stuck with her. After some initial hurdles, we sold our house over list price and are very happy with the result. I would recommend Donna without hesitation to anyone looking locally for an agent.

Donna was endlessly patient and extremely empathetic during the home buying process. If houses popped into the market over night, Donna was often able to fit in viewings the next afternoon. She was happy to work with either our choice of lender and home inspector or her own referrals, and never put undue pressure to favor her referrals.When our Seller proved to be a pain the tush on the agreed upon home repairs Donna kept us in signed, written contracts the entire time to ensure the work was legally required to get done. The only reason we got the house Closed on the original scheduled date was due to Donna overseeing this process.Im very grateful to have worked with Donna and will certainly recommend her services to our friends and family in the future.

I worked with two other brokers and after visiting a few houses, I found that they were rushing to buy any house they were showing us. I got rid of them and begun the search for a new broker. Lucky a friend referred Donna. She showed us a few houses and provided sufficient information about the communities, housing market and schools of each area without any contract. Donna drove us to many houses all around the VA metro area and finally, found a great house in a nice community and schooling area. This was not possible without Donna’s patience and expertise. She provides information, checked the property and community and never let us go for a house that was in bad shape.I found Donna an excellent broker and an expert who knows the clients needs and works closely in each step to find you the best house in the area. More importantly, she has patient and never rushes to offer a house which doesn’t meet your needs and requirements.I strongly recommend Donna for your next big move and guarantee that you won’t regret it.

Donna did a great job helping me rent my townhouse. She provided excellent market research and guidance about the entire process from start to finish. Donna was always available for questions and she made the process flow very smoothly. I look forward to working with her again in the future.

Donna is the best! I am a first time home buyer and I started my search with a realtor that I knew prior to my home buying process. After being steered in the wrong direction by this realtor, I reached out to Donna. She went above and beyond to ensure that I was in my comfort zone financially and in terms of the neighborhood. Ive already recommended her to several friends and family members. I definitely recommend her for you as well!

My husband and I recently worked with Donna on the search and purchase of our first home. We first found out about her via a Google search of real estate agents in our area. We came across her website, where she mentioned her passion for educating and empowering home buyers. As first timers, this immediately piqued our interest. We reached out to her to schedule a phone meeting, and she responded expeditiously. Just based off that conversation and the resources she sent us, we realized she was very serious about her personal mission to inform buyers throughout the process. We decided to work with her, and it was the best decision! Donna learned our preferences, kept her eyes peeled on a community we liked, moved quickly on a tour, and helped us successfully navigate a multiple-offer situation. We ended up in a home and community that we love and is perfect for us! My husband and I learned so much from her knowledge and experience. She always made herself available to answer any questions we had (or to find out where we could get the answer)--even after we closed on our home! She was patient, had a lot of local connections, and was very skilled at her job. Donna helped us find a local lender, home inspector, and title company that made a great team!! Our closing process went off without a hitch! Needless to say, we HIGHLY RECOMMEND Donnas services! Thank you, Donna!!

My spouse and I hired Donna, with an understanding that shes an expert in the market. We are so glad we did! She assisted us with a relocation from Alexandria, VA to Stafford, VA and made the gauntlet of home buying an easy process. She has a very steady disposition, has a level, professional demeanor.and is a consummate professional. Throughout our search, Donna responded to numerous phone calls, e-mails and texts in such a timely way, making us feel like we were her only clients...never making us feel like any question was too small. She really was like a partner in every facet of the process. When we found the one, Donna negotiated the deal for us in a multiple-offer situation. Once our offer was accepted by the buyer, we had a very quick, 30-day close. Donna worked directly with our Lender, Title Company and Sellers agent to ensure every step of the process stayed on track. With this being the biggest home purchase of our lives, we cant thank Donna enough for making the process so wonderful. Thanks again Donna. Well be sure to tell all of our friends and family what a great experience we had working with you. T&D

First time home buyer. Donna was/is extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and always available when we had questions. She was with us every step of the way and kept my wife and I in the loop throughout the home buying process. 100% will go back to her and will recommend to anyone looking to buy a home.

I was so lucky to have Donnas support in the search for a place to live in northern Virginia. I was going to be moving to NOVA from out of state and she went out of her way to send as many listings as possible online ahead of time. She was extremely responsive to feedback. By the time we could coordinate a visit (with which she was also very flexible!), we had lots of potential places to see. Donna is exceptionally considerate and picked us up from the airport, had lots of recommendations for places to eat, visit, and see in all of the locations she showed us. After finding the right place, she supported me through the leasing process as well! Donna is a true professional. She knows all the details and does everything possible to ensure her clients feel confident in their housing choice! I would highly recommend Donna to anyone looking to rent or buy!

Donna Williams is an absolutely amazing professional with the patience, expertise, and flexibility to deal with any circumstance that comes up during the home search and purchase process. Donna had done an outstanding job helping us sell a house (its first day on the market) when we left the Northern Virginia area four years ago, so she was the clear choice to help us find the right home when we returned to the area this summer. I gave her a very ambitious set of specifications, and she worked with us to find just the right house for all of our needs within our budget and in perfect alignment with our timeline.Our home purchase this time was not a typical one. We were living in another state throughout the house search and had to cancel our planned househunting trip due to Coronavirus pandemic issues. Showing trememdous flexibility and understanding how important it was to us to have a home to land in during our move, Donna geared up with PPE and took us on a very thorough video tour of the house we had identified as our top choice. Fully trusting Donnas input and advice, we made an offer from a distance. I would have never made such a major financial and life decision if I didnt completely trust Donnas judgment and respect her professional expertise. I cannot think of a higher recommendation. When we were finally able to travel to the area for the final walk-through and closing, we were pleased to find out that with Donnas help, we had purchased the perfect house for our complicated family needs and it completely met our complex set of specs!Donna was also great throughout the contract negotiation, inspection, and preparation process up to the closing. She did things efficiently and quickly, made sure that we understood everything in the contract and inspection report during the process, and kept everything moving according to the timelines and contract deadlines. She knows the real estate business and the geographic area inside and out, and communicates clearly and effectively with customers, other agents/brokers, and everyone else involved in the process. In short, Donna was a true partner who demonstrated care for our family and concern for meeting our needs rather than just making a sell.We cannot recommend Donna enough. She will always be our top choice whether we are selling or buying in the future!

It was a great pleasure for me working with Donna for my home purchase and I felt to be a lucky person for having her around me in this important journey. She is an extraordinary and outstanding realtor. Shes been instrumental in hunting the appropriate house for me. She would always advise me on pros and cons of a property while letting me to make the final call.Home purchase is not and easy thing and a short journey, but Donna is very patient and was always been available to show me available homes in the market. Id never doubt to call upon her anytime and have her show houses and she has always been accommodating me. Id have rated Donna more, but the max starts one could use is 5.!!! Id never hesitate to work with Donna again and to recommend her to friends and relatives.She is simply phenomenal in what she does!!!Many many thanks, Donna. :)

We met Donna a few months ago. We had a unique home buying situation and she took on our search without question. She was easy to work with and always got back to us right away with ideas or answers to questions. She is positive and upbeat, which made our search fun rather than a burden. We found the perfect little townhouse that met all of our needs. Thank you Donna!! We can’t wait to have you over for dinner!!

Our family was fortunate enough to meet and connect with Donna when we were looking for a rental in Woodbridge, Virginia. We were moving from North Pole, Alaska and needed someone we could trust to help us make the big transition. Our exceptional experience with her the first time made our decision to work with her again during the purchase/sale of our first home and now the purchase of our second home a NO-BRAINER!! She is extremely knowledgeable, dedicated, resourceful and passionate about ensuring that her clients expectations about the process and end results are surpassed. She gives 150% and fights for her clients every step of the way. There is no better Realtor in Virginia! We love you Donna and are blessed to have you as our realtor and friend!!!!!

I met Donna about 8 years ago after I fired my initial realtor. She picked up the reins and ran with them and found me a great home that I loved for seven and half years. When I decided to move further south, I knew exactly who to call to help sell my home.Donna not only remembered me, but came by my house to see if she could find ways to increase the value. She made some recommendations about paint, and a few other hints. When I was ready, she worked hard to get the house on the market and came back to me after one weekend with seven offers to choose from.Even after I picked a buyer, Donna walked me through the process until the sale was complete. Making sure I knew what was going on, and even made it so I didnt have to come back from North Carolina for the closing. It was such a smooth transaction, I thought it was too easy!I would recommend Donna Williams to my grandmother, my father, my cousin, my nephew, and you! I would recommend her to anyone! USE DONNA WILLIAMS!!!!

My family knew that we wanted to buy our next place when our lease was ending at our townhouse. Without any hesitation, we knew exactly who to help us with that process. Three years ago when we first moved into the area, Donna came through for us and we knew that is exactly who we wanted on our team while we look for the perfect house for our family.We were so impressed with how much she remembered of what we were looking for in a house, whether it was the number of bathrooms or bedrooms to the size of the yard for our dogs, she remembered it all! We were a little nervous how well the kids would do going house hunting, but with every house, Donna was there to entertain them while we were able to more thoroughly look throughout the house. That was definitely helpful as we could try to imagine furniture here or there, or to determine if there were things that needed to be updated and how much that would cost. It was much easier to do without having to entertain our three and four year old kids. And our kids went right to Donna, like they have known her for years! Donna had given each of the kids a stuffed animal to bring with them throughout the rest of the process. The kids love the animals they received and often talk about when Donna gave it to them!Donna always helped put things into perspective, explaining there is a difference between nice to have and must have, especially when talking about budgets. When we did find what we believe is pretty close to our dream house, Donna agreed that from all we had seen, that this one was the house she could see us in. While doing our initial walk through on the day of closing, Donna was there to keep the kids entertained and even included them in a few times to check to see if things were working. Our kids loved that! The kids frequently ask about Donna and hopefully one day when we get everything settled into the new house, we can have Donna down for a visit.We cannot say thank you enough for all that she did to make this new house process so easy and stress free. We will definitely refer Donna to anyone we know moving in the area as we have found she is very kind and passionate about her job and the clients she represents. Thank you for everything Donna!

Donna helped us buy our first house and we are glad to have the opportunity to knowing her. She is very detail orientated and we have received wonderful advices from her on many aspects of the house search. It took us about 3 months to find and buy the house we love and we did not feel any pressure from Donna during this lengthy process. She has always been available for us when we asked her help and we found her very responsive.We have had an excellent experiencing of working with Donna and I believe you will do the same.

I hired Donna to sell a tough house and was glad that I did! She worked with me to get the place ready to sell and suggested a great contractor. The photography made the place look stunning and I had several offers in the first week (of December). From there it was an easy path to closing, even while I was overseas. Donna is very knowledgeable in the industry and I would love to use her again.

I highly recommend Donna Williams as an agent due to her professionalism and courteousness. She assisted in anything she could throughout the process of buying all the way to signing. She helped us find exactly what we were looking for in a home, and even accommodated showings around our work schedule. We could not be happier with the home we bought as well as the transaction.

Donna helped us find a real gem in Arlington,VA. We were looking to purchase a investment property and she helped us through the whole process without pressuring us to purchase something quickly. She gave us many pointers on what to look for in an investment property and even with acquiring a great tenant. Simply put she is a top notch realtor.

I was/am a first time home buyer and really didn’t have anyone I felt like would give me the time I needed to help me learn the process before I jumped in. Well, I reached out to some of my “sisters” in arms and several recommended Donna Williams to me so I reached out and was happy I did. Donna was there every step of the way. When I didn’t know what questions to ask, she didn’t hesitate to speak up and ask. She reviewed every single piece of paper for and with me before I signed anything.....she even taught me a few things about lawn care!!! Because of Donna, I didn’t feel scared or nervous. So glad I met her.

I cant thank her ENOUGH. Donna truly cares about her clients. As a first time home buyer I was nervous and overwhelmed when choosing were to live but Donna made the process so much easier. It took me 6 months because I kept getting out bid and the inventory was not great at the time but Donna was patience and constantly assure me that we would find a place that I would loved. When I finally bought my home she even went out of her way to make sure the seller had no HOA violations and although he did she made sure he fix every last thing before buying it. She made buying a home so much easier and not stressful. Shes not greedy and really looks out and cares for her clients.

As a first-time homebuyer, it was very difficult for me to start the home buying process, especially as a New York City resident looking to buy a house in Woodbridge, VA, but Donna made it a smooth transaction from the beginning to the end. She is very patient, professional, and responsive. Even after a month from the settlement date, I still call/text her and get a brisk response. I highly recommend her to homebuyers in Northern Virginia area. Thank you for your continued support, Donna!

I entered the real estate market knowing very little about home purchasing. I was fortunate to know Donna williams, and reached out to her for assistance.Donna engaged me almost immediately, asking me questions about my budget, home size, timeframe, location, and other worthwhile information to help with an the initial search. Then for over 6 months, Donna and I worked closely together to find my perfect home. Donna was as engaging throughout the 6 months, as she was the first day. Donna offered tips and cost information on home improvments, red flags to watch out for and additional purchasing considerations. This went a long way in establishing and strenghtening my trust in Donna, because it was clear she always had my best interests in mind, and took a lot of pride in her work.Eventually I had a ratified contract and a close date. Donna worked with me every step of the way to navigate the many subtlies of inspections, apprasials, contractual issues, financing, to name a few. They say the devil is in the details, and Donna knows all the details. I quickly realized the complexity of home purchasing, and Donna was there every step of the way. She often did a better job keeping track on my assigned tasks than I did, and made it easy.I successfully closed on my new home (thanks, Donna!), and today, post-transaction, Donna continues to make herself available to assist with questions I often have. Whether this is your first home purchase, or your 5th home purchase, I highly recommend you reach out to Donna Williams.
