Donna has enjoyed a successful 24-year career in the Auckland real estate industry. Beginning selling commercial property, Donna was named "Rookie of the year" (nationwide) in her first 2 years (1998), setting company records marketing what was then the largest under the hammer sales ever recorded at $5,450,000 (320 Remuera Rd ) marketing and selling one of the largest ever over the reserve amounts $600,000 over registered valuation (96 Symonds Street). She then went on to enjoy many other national tops 10 to 20 awards. Donna gained both her National certificate and National Diploma in real estate during the early 2000's going on to manage the number one branch for her (then) company (nationwide) in 2006 and for the North Island in 2007. Donna is now back in her favorite roles both managing and with a selling career again. Donna's excellent negotiation skills are one of the many reasons her clients refer her to many of their friends and family. Having lived and worked in Auckland and the wild west areas of Auckland for most her life, Donna's expertise in these areas is a real attribute to her and with her recent success of sales in the immediate area; they are a testament to her skills and local knowledge. Clients can rest assured they are in excellent hands!! Donna attributes a great amount of this success in real estate to the wonderful working partnership she shares with her husband Dennis, her clients not only secure her expertise but also gain the benefits that working with a husband and wife team (especially when working with buyers) bring. Donna believes that her negotiation and communication skills are her strongest abilities and that being able to "listen and understand your client and tailor the solution for their particular situation" is a trademark of her business and leads to successful selling and buying results for her clients. Good communication and the ability to listen and understand your client and tailor the solution for their particular situation.
