Very professional and knows the area well. Willing to go the extra mile to make sure we saw everything that would be something that we would interested in. She never wasted our time looking at something knowing we would not like. I would not hesitate to use her again.
Dona helped us find our dream home. She was patient, dedicated, honest, and really cared about what we were looking for. I would recommend her to anyone.
She was amazing! Very helpful and was willing to show houses all day until we found our dream home. She was patient and kind and she actually showed us the home we bought after all the ones we wanted to look at and said she knew we would love this one.
We would highly recommend Dona Decker. It took almost 2 years and a couple of false starts to finally purchase our dream home. Dona stuck with us the whole way. She understood what we were looking for and didn't give up on us. She is very knowledgeable and friendly. Even after our purchase she continues to help us. She has become a valued friend.
Dona was very helpful in my first home buying experience. She was very knowledgeable about the properties we saw and what I was looking for. She brought my attention to some things I would have never have thought of and gave me hope when I was about to give up. She was also flexible with my work schedule and made accommodations in those regards.
Dona Decker was excellent to work with! Very reliable and easy to get in contact with. Kept in touch throughout the buying process and explained everything very well!
Dona Decker is an amazing lady! She is very patient. Very helpful and she always knows how to make you smile! She helped us pick out our first home. We wanted to look at about 20 different houses, she told us her honest opinion. Then we ended up with the first house that we looked at. I would recommend her to everyone I know!

Dona has handled several properties for us including a commercial sale. She is a true professional and understands the market in this area very well. She also has insights into both the homeowner's association and its requirements as well as the new city organization. She is always available, returns calls and messages promptly and stays on top of both the listing and the sale. We went through the purchase process without a hitch. The commercial sale was a bit out of her experience, but she achieved our goal and got us what we needed from the sale outcome. Couldn't have done it without her. I will go back to her when next I need any real estate advice or services.
I called Dona because of the reviews I found on this site but she was not a perfect match for us. Dona is personable, she was on-time for showings, and showed patience with our many viewings. I believe if you want to buy or sell in Diamondhead she may be helpful but I do not recommend her if you are looking elsewhere. Dona sold our house in Bay St Louis and then we bought one in Pass Christian. We also had a rental property listed with her in Diamondhead but took it off the market after we got a renter and where frustrated with interested buyers who where not pre-approved. Our first property sold in 8 days for asking price (3 separate offers). I have always wondered if we asked too low but who knows. The buyer was a little difficult to work with and Dona often complained about the other realtor but we never felt like she had our back. The buyer asked for numerous repairs to the house such as "replace a few shingles, change the fence" which we thought where purely cosmetic and not required. There where many other problems but those are just examples. The thing that upset me the most was the buyers realtor and the buyer meet at my house without my consent. I know this because I happened to go home sick that day and was in bed when I heard someone walk in to my house. I panicked at first but realized who it was based on their conversation. I got dressed and walked into my dining room to find them sitting there! Apparently Dona said it was ok but never called me. The next property we bought in a different town. I must state we where difficult clients at first because we where undecided about we excatly wanted. Dona showed us numerous homes and allowed us time to figure out what we really liked. However, once we did figure this out we became very specific about our wants. She was not familiar with the school district lines and I asked repeatably for this information, however when we would ask about a house she would say "I think it is in the right district." I finally took some time off during the day and went to the school office. Perhaps my expectations where too high. I was hoping for someone to help us with things like school districts etc. not just show us houses. We did finally find a perfect house, she did not help us with negotiating, did not tell us that the termite inspection had come back positive for previous treatment (even though the disclosure did not state this) until closing (the sellers did get/have a contract on house but it would have been nice to know before closing day).
Dona was a blessing to us in finding the perfect summer home at our price range. Thru many visits with Dona to area homes that were for sale, we were able to get an absolutely fantastic home that our entire family will be able to enjoy for years to come at the price we could afford. Dona is as friendly as she is professional. She is the consummate professional. I would recommend her to anyone. Darryl
Dona Decker handled the listing with exemplary attention to detail. Her keen eye found a small easily fixable problem with the home even before we listed with her! Dona is very knowledgeable and responsive to any question or situation. As sometimes happens, she did not procure the buyer in this instance, but her excellent knowledge and skill in handling all the details for the closing were appreciated. I would be very happy to recommend Dona to anyone looking for a great realtor in Diamondhead, MS.
Very thourough in every respect while communicating with us (seller). Outstanding marketing and client coordination skills including photos, website, flyers and copy. Regular udates of online information and photos. The property was listed with another firm for nearly 3 years and generated little interest. When Dona took over it was "Katy bar the door!". She's a great agent, and most important she sold our home for us..
after hearing from other real estate people in the area who could only talk about how depressed the area was, how low prices had gone, Dona simply suggested a good sale price then went about selling the property in less than 60 days. In addition, we needed work done on property to get it ready for selling like painting, cleaning, etc. Dona helped us with selection of the workers as well as checking their work on completion as well as allowing access to the property and locking up after work done.We live in Denver, some 1500 miles from the property so her help not only in the sale but in the coordination of work was indispensable for us. We could not recommend her anymore highly.Harry Jones
We bought our first Diamondhead home from Dona Decker. Dona Showed us as many homes in the area as we wanted to see, giving us valuable information about each one. When we finally decided on one she helped us negotiate a great deal and was at our side all the way. This is the seventh home I have purchased and this has been the greatest experience I have had. Dona is the consummate professional with whom I will continue to work.It is an asset to have her advice and council. It is a privilege to count her among my friends.
Dona helped me find a home in Diamondhead. I told her what my basic requirements were and she showed me several homes that exceeded my expectations. She helped me notice things that I might not have seen without her guidance. Dona did such a good job for me, I have recommended her to several people who are currently house hunting.
I have dealt with many realtors because I have sold and bought 9 different home from Hawaii to TN. And never have met such a professional as Dona Decker. There are really no words to describe Dona Decker but if I had to pick one, its absolutely outstanding. And with what she had to go through with us, she is truly a Godsend. Although we didnt purchase a home from her(relocated for job), she was extremely warm and professional. She is a person that makes you feel comfortable. With her many years in the business, she understood what we were looking for and could tell right off if the house didnt appeal to us. It was amazing. She took her time to show us properties and had discussions on properites but on everything from restaurants, hotels, casinos, families and areas to stay away from. What a realtor! I highly recommend Dona if you are looking for a realtor in the Gulfport, Diamondhead, Bay St Louis area. She is fantastic. I only wish we could of bought a house from her. I really wanted her to sell it when we left. But who knows, we might be back. Diamondhead is a very nice place to live and the people are so friendly. I think Dona told all the people we met that we were in town and to be nice to us. Not! But she was right about everything that she told us. I wish I could bring Dona with me so that she could sell us a house where we are relocating. Mahalo Dona! You are no ka oi (number in hawaiian) in my book!!!!
Dona helped me sell my home (after 4 years on the market with different companies). She also helped find me a new home that was just what I was looking for. We must have seen 35 houses on the Gulf Coast and Dona was very helpful during this process. I would highly recommend Dona. She has a lot of experience and is very patient and knowledgeable about the area! Thank you Dona!
Before our agent Donna Decker came along we had an agent who showed us a few houses only at his convenience. We switched to Donna and it was the best move we could have made! I had a very hectic schedule with working and school. She worked with me and helped me find the house of my dreams. Thank you Donna!!!
Having been in sales all of my life, Dona Decker is by far one of the most professional real estate agents that I have ever encountered. When I decided to move to this area, I contacted Dona and the six month "hunt" began. I am sure that we saw thirty or so homes prior to the one I chose. She did her homework!!! Listed below are some of her attributes I would like to share with you.1. She listens.2. She practices extremely high work ethics.3. She is not pushy (If she had been overbearing, she would have not sold me my home!)4. She does her research and is very thorough from the first call to the end of the sale.5. She is great with follow up either through phone calls or email.6. She is honest, patient, thrustworthy, great personality and is fun to be with.7. She goes overboard with customer service. (How many real estate agents do you know that would come over and work in your yard to have it ready for you when you arrive?? She wanted the yard to be groomed for its new owner!!!)I feel very blessed to have had Dona to represent me as a buyer. With her real estate knowledge, you will have a wonderful experience finding the home of your dreams! I did and I all I can say is, "Thank You, Dona Decker! You made it happen!"
Dona took time to show us lower priced homes.She did not try nto influence us to look at homes we felt were out of our price range.She spent alot of her weekends trying to help us find our home away from home.We finally decided to stop by a home that we didn't think we could afford.turned out with some negotiating we got the perfct home for us,my mother and our dogs.Thanks Donas.
Dona Decker assisted us in our househunting endeavors last year and actually the year before. Being somewhat ambivalent about relocating from our hometown of 40 years, the first house hunting experience was one year prior to our actual relocation. Dona graciously took our change of heart and then was available the next year when we finally made the decision to move. She was wonderful with many hours of computer searches and then showing us property all over Diamondhead on weekends and in evening hours. We love our new home and credit Dona with the wonderful find!
We tried other agents in the area and with the same agency but could not get anyone to return our calls or send us available property. Dona was on vacation and I left her a voice mail and she called me that evening from her vacation! She spent every Saturday with us four two months or better and never lost interest. I have recommended her to two other potential customers and will continue to do so. Very professional and interested in her job and her clients!
I've closed many transactions with Dona and she is one of the best agents I've ever worked with. She goes above and beyond for each and every buyer or seller. She is honest, trustworthy and very hard working. If you're buying or selling, she is definitely someone you want in your corner!
Dona was amazing! She was recommended to us by a friend and we were not disappointed. She was so personal with us, honest, knowledgeable, really patient (we looked at a lot of houses), and had no problem working around our full time jobs. I felt comfortable calling her at anytime, and she was available whenever we needed her, even on the weekends. She made the whole process smoothe and enjoyable for us.
I work full time during the week and didn't have much time to look at houses. However, Dona was always available after work and on weekends to show me lots of properties. She is very friendly and professional.
