Donna Paden, REALTOR®

About

A true industry veteran, Donna has been involved in the Real Estate Industry for over 20 years as a Realtor and Settlement Officer. Donna started off with a bang—the year she started selling real estate, she was the rookie of the year for the Baltimore and Washington DC region. She graduated from Parson's College with a Bachelor's degree in elementary education, minoring in music. She grew up in Ottumwa, Iowa.

Prior to joining the Creig Northrop Team, Donna worked at Re/max Advantage Columbia. She also worked as a teacher, focusing on first and third grade education.

Volunteering is a big part of Donna's life. She volunteered as the President of her communities HOA for 5 years. Donna also was a volunteer for the Hospice Cup in Annapolis, helping place Hospice Care workers and family members on a boat for the race. 

In her free time, she likes to sail her sailboat Petite Cherie with her husband and read mystery books. Donna is a dog person and loves all breeds. She recently rescued a lab mix named Charlie.

Donna is passionate about treating her clients as if they are her family or friends. She believes buying a new home is an exciting journey, and she is pleased to be a guide to help her clients find the perfect new home. For many of her clients, selling a house is part of the process of buying a new home. 

She works tirelessly along with the marketing department to get her client's homes sold as quickly as possible for the best price.

What My Clients Are Saying

“Donna helped us sell our home and put personal touches in along the way which really means a lot to a first time home seller/buyer. She is so personable and always available. She was lovely to my two girls and even made them cake pops which they adored. She truly goes above and beyond as a realtor and as a person. You cannot go wrong with someone who has your best interest at heart, but is also a tactful negotiator and has a wealth of experience in their field. She really has an excellent eye for what will help to sell your home. If you are looking for someone who is an expert, but also cares for their clients like family, then go no further. You can never go wrong with a former teacher, they are the best people!”

“Donna went above and beyond for me. She was truly my advocate. I sold my house with a different agent from a different company and then there is Donna. I am only sorry I did not know about her prior. When she felt that either the seller agent or the sellers were trying to get away with something, she spoke up. She checked on me regularly. I am going through a trying period in my life and she added the personal touch that no agent needs to do. She did so as a friend and not an agent. Once the sale was complete, she still offered to help me and be an ear. Really?! Cannot ask for more than that. I will never refer any other agent, nor will I ever use a different agent as long as I remain in her marketing area.”
