As a top producer on the Seacoast, Donna has brought Buyers and Sellers together for over $32,000,000 in real estate sales over the past 5 years. Helping clients assess their needs and ultimately achieve their goal is what Donna does best. She contributes her training as a speech pathologist for fine-tuning her ability to listen to people and to create a team approach to buying and selling. Making life-long friends along the way is simply an added bonus.

Donna’s clients can expect that she will provide a clear plan of action, that she will be immediate in her response, and that she will network with a variety of professionals as needed to assure her Buyers and Sellers experience a seamless transaction. She is described by one of her recent Buyers as a maven. “Donna is a connector—she brings people together based on their needs or interests. Her connectedness to this area and its people is unsurpassed.”

Her interest in and understanding of the demographics of the Seacoast coupled with the quality of life she and her family have enjoyed for the past 30 years here, helps her convey to potential Buyers the unsurpassed amenities the Seacoast at large offers its residents. Donna moved from her native state of Maine to attend the University of New Hampshire, Durham, where she received both her B.S. and M.Ed. Her love of the Seacoast and career opportunities as a speech pathologist landed her in Exeter, where she and her husband Ron raised their two children. Donna has a professional and personal understanding of the area public and private schools. In addition to having worked at several schools, she has also consulted in or evaluated students at various schools; she served on the board of a private pre-school; and her children attended the Exeter public schools through eighth grade before graduating from Phillips Exeter Academy, Johns Hopkins, and Harvard. Her husband, Ron, has been affiliated with Exeter Hospital for 30 years. When not working with Buyers and Sellers, Donna can be found hiking, kayaking, traveling, attending a concert or the theater, reading a good book, or “cooking for the world” (as her son is fond of saying).
