Donna was amazing. She handled every bump and navigated every mine field with grace and a sense of humor. We recommend her without reservation.
Donna did an AWESOME job selling my home and getting my forever home before it went on the market. Donna went above and beyond as a realtor when I had a very short timeline to get house on the market and get my house ready. Donna saw I was struggling and needed help and she helped us clean out our basement. She sold our house in under 4hrs and got us 15,000 more than our list price. You cannot go wrong and will love Donna as your realtor.
Donna was responsive and knowledgeable from our first conversation. She drove to Byron from Rockford to look at numerous properties with me several times. Donna was great with my teenaged son and answered all my questions along the way. As I closed in on the property I wanted, Donna not only offered guidance on the home buying process, she offered suggestions for home and radon inspectors and finance personnel. Donna knocked dow every unforeseen obstacle that popped up and made sure I was not being stressed by the process, as she was totally in control of every situation. Finally, Donna helped make the home buying experience FUN! I have already recommended her to a colleague.
First off this is the 2nd home we have bought/sold with Donna. The first time went so good with her that we knew where to go when we were looking to sell.Our home was a little tricky to sell and it was kind of a long process but through all of my daily calls, texts,emails , not once did she ever not get back to me directly. She helped my wife VickY & I find our forever home. We ran into a real snag at closing & without Donna I dont know what we would have done. We consider Donna a friend & would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy/sell a home. thanks again for all youve done for us Mam we will hallways be grateful. Sincerely, Brad & Vicky Cook
Donna was an absolute treat to work with! We were first time buyers, and Donna was so helpful in getting us all the information we should know and answered every question we had swiftly and clearly. After a few house showings, she had a good idea of what we were looking for and helped guide us along the path of what to look out for and even recommended a few properties based on our tastes! We decided on our future home in an evening showing (it was already getting dark!) and Donna offered to take us in at a late hour to do the paperwork and submit an offer. She went between both parties and our offer was accepted that very same day! I would absolutely recommend Donna to anyone in the Rockford area looking for a home, and hope to be able to use her some time in the future if the need arises. Absolutely stellar service!
Donna has been nothing short of amazing from start to finish! I contacted Donna to discuss her approach and process for listing and selling a home. Within 48 hours of our conversation, she had come to my home, done a complete written assessment of items she recommended be addressed prior to listing AND she had an awesome handy man on the ready to complete the work (have you tried calling someone to do odd jobs? Yeah, so having that resource was HUGE!). My situation was unique because I no longer lived in the house and had in fact moved out of state. So I needed someone who was willing to be hands on and manage the entire process. She did just that. She literally met a locksmith at my house to key the garage door at 7:00AM one day. On more than one occasion, she went over to the house to make sure things were in order or check the thermostat. She went above and beyond in preparing the house for market. Once she did market the house, she was tireless in her efforts to sell it as quickly as possible. She communicated frequently and always gave me feedback from potential buyers. Her responsiveness to me and to other agents was outstanding. And... the outcome is she sold the house! I recommend Donna to anyone who is either selling or purchasing a home in the Rockford area. She is really dedicated and will exceed your expectations.
We had a wonderful experience with Donna as our realtor, not only from the purchasing side but also the selling. Very down to earth and easy to work with. She offered us great advise without being pushy which we much appreciated. We highly recommend Donna!!
Donna made buying our first home a great experience! She helped us find the perfect home for my family, and kept us updated throughout the home-buying process. She answered questions quickly and is easy to get in touch with. I absolutely recommend her as a realtor!
Donna is great ! She reccomended us to envoy mortgage and helped us from there. She qas always on time and gave us so many options in homes around our price range. She helped us with the offer and always emailed us in what was the next step. I had a great experience with her and the process was smooth.
Donna was helpful, punctual, responsive, honest, and a joy to work with! She made the process easy, fun, and painless! Highly recommend. She showed us many different properties around the area and helped us push our closing, knowing it was our dream home.
Donna made my families ecperience a memorable one. She was the perfect realtor for us. I would recommend her to everyone and anyone that is looking for a new home to spend forever in. She was not only there anytime of the day we needed her but she really cares for her clients. Thank you so much Donna for making our families needs complete. -Kathryn Skadoske and Jacob Tiffany
Donna does it again! Ive worked with her twice (both buying and selling) and each experience has been amazing. Her reviews say it all and I concur. A stellar agent.
Donna came to our home and explained everything to me, in great detail. She was happy to answer all of my questions and any concerns. The next day she took the pictures and listed it right away. Within minutes I was receiving requests to see my home. It sold that night!! She took care of everything, and gave me wonderful advise. From beginning to the end, she made my experience a good one.
Donna was great to work with and very responsive to any questions we had. We used her to find our home then she helped sell our old home. We will recommend her in the future.
Donna was incredibly helpful. She was always quick to respond and went above and beyond with every aspect of her job. She was always looking out for me and helped me find a home very quickly. I have not a single complaint working with Donna.
We interviewed a total of three agents with various realty companies. I was impressed with Donnas experience and her goal of selling 50 homes this year which she was close to achieving. She also understood the goals we wanted to accomplish in selling my mothers home. Her extra efforts in social media, good reviews reviews and her offer to have an aerial photography added which she paid for herself lead us to select her as our agent. Our house was on the market for less than 30 days before it sold for a fair market price. I would highly recommend Donna and thank her for making this a positive experience for my mom and I.
Donna was initially contacted by me to provide a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) for this property for court purposes. She knew that the guardian was going to try to sell the property without an agent, but she enthusiastically provided the CMA, which was provided by Donna for free. After about a year or more of not receiving any credible offers, the trustee contacted Donna to list the property. Donna provided us with some very key suggestions on what to do to make the property ready to sell - what things to update/fix/clean and what things to not worry about. Her insight as to how to get a property in showing condition is excellent! Within days (I think 3 days) of the property being listed, we received at least 4 offers, 3 at or above asking price! Donna then stayed on top of things and was easy to work with from the initial contract presentation through the closing. She is always quick to respond to any questions or concerns and makes sure that the home warranty is in place, the inspections are scheduled and performed, and that the client is aware of anything else that may need to be performed prior to closing. I would HIGHLY recommend Donna for a real estate transaction.
Donna is the consummate professional. Attentive to my needs and wants in a home. She was spot on regarding the offer price to ensure the purchase would happen. I have been through the real estate purchase process on numerous occasions. This is the first time I felt I didnt need to stay more aware than my agent. I would never hesitate to use her serves again.
I found Donna on Zillow with great reviews and decided to choose her to be my agent in the construction of a new home. She is easy to reach and is always quick with her responses, even on weekends! I decided to purchase a new lot and had a local builder construct a home on it. Donna has been wonderful throughout the whole process. It was a winter build so it took approximately 6 months from start to finish. She always answered all my questions and addressed any concerns I had with the builder. In my situation, she recommended to me a real estate attorney that she knew. I am so glad I took her advice. Donna is very professional and good in what she does, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a new home.
Our whole experience with Donna was one that we will always remember. We had our house bought by FEMA so we didnt have a realtor and we had previously talked to her so we called her again and what a good decision this was. She had a house that we were interested in and it was everything that we wanted. After putting in an offer and getting excepted we ran into a problem with our local bank. Donna set us up with another lender and everything worked out great. After getting the offer excepted I was calling her or texting her or emailing every day and not once did she fail to answer me promptly. She was such a joy to work with and we would highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling a house.
Wow! Talk about one world class realtor who goes above and beyond. I closed on my home a week ago and when I needed a plumber Donna offered to schedule and pay for it herself. During the lengthy closing process she was constantly going to bat for me when most realtors wouldve walked away. I am very grateful for all shes done and continues to do. Thank you, Donna for being such an awesome person!
My husband and I just bought a house with Donna. And we will be selling our house through her as well. She was awesome to work with. Very professional, very knowledgeable about the horses and areas. She was also very patient with us and the thousands of questions and worries that we had. She made sure we were comfortable with what we were buying. I would highly recommend Donna to any one I know looking to buy or sell a house.
Donna is AWESOME! She helped us find a house in the northern Illinois area while we still lived in Nevada. She was very patient and not pushy. She showed prospective homes to our family members and gave us feedback. She ALWAYS got back to us on questions as soon as possible! Overall a great experience. Would definitely recommend.
Donna was referred to us, by a couple, who she had help with their home purchase months before and were ecstatic on how impressive her dedication was to them. I wasnt happy with my current realtor, so, they insisted in giving Donna a call.... I did! and it was the best decision I made through the whole buying process! If you want someone who is actively, on time, fast to respond, caring, knowledgable, who puts your desires and concerns first, I say call her, you wont regret it.
Best experience, ever! Donna is amazing! She responds quickly and listens to what youre really looking for on the market. She is so sweet and is so helpful. She found me the perfect house!!
We had a great experience working with Donna. We had two realtors spanning a wide area during our home search. Donna was always willing to answer our questions, reply to emails, text messages, and went above and beyond in helping us view 10 homes in one day. We would highly recommend Donna for your house hunting! -Alicia Chaney
Donna is a wonderful realtor, who was very helpful, knowledgeable and personable. She saved us from putting offers in on houses that had potential well and septic issues by being up front and honest about the properties we were interested in. She knew a lot about the market and was able to help us find our dream home. I will recommend her to everyone that is in the market to buy or sell a house!
Donna was the realtor showing the condo we were interested in. She also helped us view other properties and condos in the area. She was very familiar, prompt, friendly, and professional. Her knowledge of the real estate market was extensive. We would highly recommend her again to any friends or family looking to move to this area.
Where to begin... Words cannot express how grateful I am to have had Donna as my realtor! Being a first time home buyer, the process can get very frustrating and Donna was absolutely phenomenal! I tried working with other realtors but none of them seemed to prioritize my needs, she made sure I understood the process and was ALWAYS available when I had a question. Donna was more than just a realtor, she was my PARTNER through my journey and if I had to do it all over again, I would choose her in a heartbeat!
Our journey began by listing our home with another agent. Unfortunately, that experience was not a very positive one. On the upside, we learned what we did and did not want in an agent. What caught our attention about Donna were the reviews. As soon as we spoke on the phone, we knew she was the one! Because we had already been on the market for several months before switching to Donna, she had some damage control to do. Not only did she rise to the challenge of all challenges, but she got the job done! From the start, she has been extremely understanding, patient, honest, and knowledgeable. Donna has also literally been the one and only constant ?bright spot? in a seemingly hopeless situation! We consider ourselves very fortunate that Donna has been our agent, and we are beyond grateful for everything that she has done for us! She is a true blessing! Thank you, Donna!!!
Donna is a excellent agent. She made our search and buying process so easy. She answered every email, text and call. My family would definitely recommend her!
Donna was a blessing & really rolled with the punches of my life. She was flexible, easy to understand and very patient. She helped explain things and never ignored me. Very fast in responsiveness and got our house sold!
Donna made the home buying process so easy. She actually listened to what we wanted and what we were looking for in our new home. When you walk through the house, she gives you time to take it all in and answers any questions you might have. Our time with Donna was low pressure and we felt like we had an agent who was on our side; dedicated to find the best house at the best price to match our wish list. If someone asked us which real estate they should work with, we would not hesitate to recommend Donna. Moreover, if we ever decide to sell, our first phone call will be to Donna. Prompt, professional, Donna made a very stressful process, enjoyable and stress free.
Donna just kinda stuck out as a good realtor on zillow , but what really sealed the deal was when I submitted contact request she replied within minutes. As soon as she replied and continued to reply in a very timely manner , I knew she was perfect. When we first went over the house she had great tips to brighten up the house and make it look appealing to a buyer, I followed through with everything she said and the house sold within a couple of weeks because of her advice. I have already recommended Donna to fellow friends who are both looking to sell as well as looking to buy . I will also go with her for any future real estate deals . Thanks Donna for being so responsive and being a fantastic realtor .
Donna was great to work with! She was helpful and knowledgable. Any questions or concerns were quickly answered. We would definitely work with her again!
Donna is great in every way, we highly recommend her, she goes above and beyond!!!!!!!...is very helpful in all ways, always replies quickly with answers to questions, very knowledgeable in her job. 5 stars all the way !!!!!!
Donna did a great job as I relocated from out of state. She suggested homes that fit what I was looking for and also was very willing to arrange for me to see homes that I had selected through internet searches. Donna was on top of her game regarding getting a cash transaction to close a week early. Certainly a THUMBS UP!
Donna was absolutely fantastic throughout my home search. She helped me see the pros and cons of each home I saw and gave invaluable feedback on the location trends and any items that would effect the future resale of the property from a buyers perspective. If I called Donna, she answered; if I emailed her, the response was always within an hour or two. She is one of the most responsive people Ive had the pleasure of working with and was always very professional. If youre looking for someone who cares about you and your future, consider Donna, she was a true asset in my home search.
Donna Butterfield was exactly what I needed. Someone who understood what I was looking for without showing me homes that did not meet my needs. Donna couldnt have been more professional during this whole process of finding and purchasing my home. If your looking for someone who has the knowledge and experience but can still provide you with that sense of honesty and integrity then you found your agent. I was a first time buyer with little knowledge of the home buying process so dealing with Donna put me at ease knowing that she had my best interests at heart. Thanks Donna!!
I contacted Donna to discuss the possibility that I may have some property to put on the market. She immediately went into action getting comps and other pertinent information for me. I had a lot to do with the property before I could move forward, and Donna never bugged me about when Id be ready. When I was finally ready, Donna stepped up again and moved aggressively to get things moving, working with my local representative. She never balked at what needed to be done and made sure I was aware. This was extremely important being that I reside half-way across the united stated. She did all of this and addressed all the issue up to the point of listing the property even without a signed contract from me. Once we got the contract in place ... nothing changed. She continued to take of business aggressively and even more importantly, SUCCESSFULLY. I could not have asked for a better agent. Should a need arise for her professional services, I will not hesitate to call upon Donna. She was always up-front, honest, and helpful.
Donna is great, when I called for the first time. Donna got back to me right away. She also was up for me to let her know if I found a house on my own, we could go see it. She listened to what I was looking for. She also didnt waste my time looking at homes I didnt want. I found a house the first day house hunting. And she got right on it to call the realtor that was selling that house. She was friendly and understanding. Working with Donna was the best experience Ive had with a realtor. I give her thumbs up
Donna is totally customer oriented. She is very knowledgeable about the market and will help you find the house that fits you. She is always available to answer any questions. Simply a pleasure to work with.
Our experience with Donna was our first with a realtor, and, honestly, we would never want to deal with anyone else in the future. Donna is professional in every way. She is extremely accessible and responsive; whether via email, test, phone, voicemail. Donna always made us feel very important, like we were her only clients. She knows her stuff. She understands the legalities and every detail of the contracts, both real estate and lending, selling and buying. She is unassuming and was always patient to help us understand the ins and outs of something that we have never done before. She listened to us. We always felt confident that Donna was guiding us in the right direction, and she proved us right in the end. Buying: It all started when we were just casually browsing interesting properties on Zillow and we decided to put in a request for information. Donna, who was not the selling realtor, called us within 5 minutes on a Sunday afternoon. She promptly scheduled a showing, and was there, ready to go, when we arrived. During our first viewing, Donna got to know our desires for our dream home. Although this first viewing was not ideal for us, by the time we had gotten 5 minutes down the road on our way home, we received an email with more than a dozen listings that met our desires. Within 2 days we viewed the house of our dreams and immediately went to Donnas office to write up the offer. A month and a half later we closed, and we couldnt be happier! Selling: So, it was an obvious choice for us to commission Donna to now sell our house, now that we were going to be closing on our new home in a month and a half! She told us exactly how to prioritize the tasks we needed to do to get the house ready for listing and showing. It worked perfectly. She took fantastic photos!!! She helped us choose the right price based on our needs and the real estate landscape in our area. She immediately listed on MLS, Zillow, and Realtor.com. Donna went above and beyond by paying extra, out of pocket, for a service that allowed her to edit the listings in a more unique way. In a tough selling market and season (winter), we sold our home in just 3 months. We honestly feel that Donna was absolutely critical to achieving this. We would recommend anyone to work with Donna for your real estate needs. Thank you so much Donna! It was a pleasure working with you! - Brian and Melisa
Donna is fantastic to work with, very professional, very knowledgeable of market. She responded immediately when a house came on the market that fit my requirements. She answered all my questions promptly and made sure I understood all the processes that made my purchase go extremely smooth. Thank you Donna for all your hard work. You are the BEST!!!
Donna was absolutely amazing to work with from the moment I contacted her to begin looking at homes, all the way up through our closing. She is by far the most responsive realtor I have ever worked with and we would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home! Katie & Dan
She is a total pro .She understood what we wanted and got it done. She is easy to work with .She was always on time and great attitude .Buying and selling can be so stressful. She was there to explain any questions or concerns.
Donna is a great realtor who not only helped me find my home very fast, she also had answers for all my questions. Donna helped me through buying my first home and is still giving me help and advice now.
I picked Donna based on her reviews I read online, and as usual, the Internet did not steer me wrong in my selection. Donna was extremely responsive, thorough, and professional. She was a source of solid advice and happy to explain everything to us first time home buyers. What made Donna stand out was the way she was always thinking five steps ahead, how she anticipated potential problems with a solution and experience already at her disposal. I couldnt recommend Donna enough.
My husband and I just closed on our home and had Donna as our agent. After working with her, I would never recommend or use anyone else. She treated us like gold. Donna was genuinely concerned about what we were looking for and what would meet our personal budget. When we were a week from closing, we found out our lender had been less than honest and Donna saved the day by directing us to a lender we could trust. She is on top of every detail, quick to respond, great with negotiation, keeps an open line of communication, and very honest. We are so thankful to have met her!
Her down to earth attitude put us at ease and made us feel like we were looking for houses with a friend not a realtor. When we did find a house, it was a foreclosure. Donna was so helpful in working through the process with us. It was mentally and sometimes physically exhausting. She provided us with valuable contacts from inspectors to plumbers. She worked hard with the bank and was honest when setbacks occurred. I cant imagine what it would have been like going through the process without her.
