Donna is very approachable, professional and friendly going. Donna is more than a realtor. She has become our family friend because, I was not in New Jersey when we were searching for property, and i was curious how i am going to manage the purchase being not in the place but Donna has given me such a comfort and gone ABOVE and BEYOND from reviewing the listings to facetime meetings and explaining each and every aspect of the house we have seen, it was a long search due to market situation and competition but never seen Donna loosing her smile and filled confidence is us saying " May be there is a better place for us and WE WILL find it". Donna has put herself into my situation and being a GOAL oriented person, she has worked in finding the best property considering family requirements and our kids. Donna i am really grateful to you for your professionalism, perseverance and CAN-DO attitude.
At the outset, she was well-versed in explaining the entire process of selling our life-long home. She is friendly, pleasant, and forthright by nature, quickly responding to inquiries and following through from contract to sale. Further, we encountered circumstances wherein the buyers' realtor tried to manipulate situations on behalf of his clients. Donna immediately and steadfastly intercepted the false scenarios with vigor. Donna gives her clients her total attention and demonstrates proficient knowledge of the real estate industry; therefore, the transition of title was smooth and seamless. We highly recommend Donna and look forward to working with her again in the future.
She closed my commercial property sales which a lot more experience and expertise than residential ones. She followed up on all requests timely and professionally. She was my biggest, patient ally throughout the long process. I would love to work with her if there is another opportunity in the future.
She was absolutely outstanding and we can not recommend her enough. Not only was she extremely attentive and responsive, but she checked in with us almost daily keeping us in the loop as well as easing our feelings of anxiety as buying/selling property can be stressful. Donna made this process as stress free as possible for us. She also went absolutely above and beyond with advertising our house in order to sell as quickly as possible. Without Donna, we probably would not have sold on time in order to close on our new home. She was always so professional, friendly, and patient. Her work ethic is incredible as she often put in hours on weekends hosting numerous open houses. We can not thank Donna enough for making this process so seamless. She truly is the best.
She is extremely knowledgeable and professional. She was always available no matter what time I needed her and always happy to help in any way. She went way above and beyond what could honestly be expected of any Realtor and I am very grateful to her for all her efforts. I cannot recommend this consummate professional highly enough; she is the best!!!
She is relentless. She helped us with a section-8 rental that I needed for my mom. In an overcrowded rental market and in a tight time table, it was tough getting a good, quality, affordable rental. It took some time for us to find one. I had given up but she didn't. Thankfully, we found a great looking apartment for an affordable price in a great location. Thank you Donna!
She also guided us through 2 other transactions, one of which had very unique challenges. We couldn't have been happier with our experience.
We would tell her the type of house we were looking for and she never wasted our time on properties that didn't meet our criteria. She guided us through the offer process and made the experience very smooth and quick. Donna Allen is highly recommended.
We had just started the long journey of looking for our first home and hadn't yet chosen an agent to work with. After a very pleasant discussion with Donna, we chose to work together. Donna's enthusiasm and explanations on how she would help us be successful in our search, won us over. Donna's local knowledge proved very helpful as we were looking for homes in areas that we were somewhat unfamiliar with. Donna provided various advice on where we might prefer to live vs. where perhaps we should shy away from due to excess traffic, noise, flood zones, etc. That type of local knowledge is priceless. We eventually got an offer accepted after several misses, this turned out to be for the better as we wound up with the best possible home that we could have asked for - Donna is a great credit to this. Donna and her team have some fantastic resources to share, for example, a great, very thorough, home inspector. This person saved us from what could have been a money pit of a home in terms of maintenance and safety issues that would have otherwise gone unnoticed. Again, great credit to Donna for suggesting this inspector over others. It's important to note that Donna is very accessible and on top of things - when you find a home that you like, in this market, you need to jump on it. Donna responds very quickly to phone calls, text messages or emails. After all the ups and downs in the home buying process, I'm happy to say that we call Donna a friend now. Hopefully she can help you find your perfect home as well!
From finding the listing, to executing all of the details of the contract, Donna was very timely and thorough. She even helped negotiate some money back! Not to mention she is the sweetest woman ever!! Would recommend her to everyone I know.
She has exceptional knowledge of the market and the area. Her proactive approach with scheduling of open houses lead to several offers and a quick sale. She’s responsive and kept us well informed throughout the process.
