“Working with Donnamarie was very easy because of her knowledge of the market and the process. She and her photographer came in and made some suggestions. They staged the condo and made it look and feel like sometihing out of a magazine. The staging utilized all the open concept the place had to offer. All the prospective buyers that came through said that it showed well. Donnamarie worked very hard to sell our condo. We feel that she went above and beyond the duties of a realtor. There were a few hurdles along the way. But through her dedication and determination we made it to the finish line! We are glad we chose donnamarie and Northrop Realty to represent us. So much that we are now having her represent us in the buying process for our new home.”

John Venti

“We happened to meet Donnamarie by chance at an open house when looking for a property for my parents. She was very knowledgeable and certified in finding housing for seniors. Throughout the process she was patient and professional. She showed us potential properties and allowed us the time to explore potential living situations for them. In the end, she helped us find the best fit for them. Even through a bizarre home inspection situation and preparation of licensing agreements she kept the process moving forward efficiently protecting our rights. We will certainly use her again for future real estate transactions. Definitely a 5 star worthy realtor!!!!”

“Donnamarie did an outstanding job helping us find a home in coastal Delaware. We were from out of state and she scheduled every showing we asked to see in the short window of time she had to work with. She always has a smile on her face and you can't help feeling like you made a new friend after working with her.”
