“I would like to take the opportunity to share my experience with recently selling my home with the assistance of Donna Warters. I had unexpectedly received an out-of-state job offer with a start date of only three weeks. Not having the slightest clue as to where to begin, Donna mapped out a strategy with timelines and even set up appointments with various vendors needed to prepare my home for the first open house. With her expertise guiding me through the process I was able to concentrate on preparing for my move and my new job. Three weeks from the time I signed the agreement I gave her the keys and left for Florida with confidence that my home was in good hands.

With Donna’s marketing strategy, my home sold quickly considering it was a difficult winter and the market was in a slump. After the closing, an unexpected issue surfaced that would have required that I return to NJ to resolve. In spite of the fact that Donna’s job was over, she continued to work on my behalf, pulling resources together and even committed significant personal time to get the issue resolved so that I did not have to return to NJ. This is an example of her dedication to her clients and the level of service she provides.”

“Donna Warters is aggressive, professional and pushy but this women will get your house sold. We interviewed other agents and based on what they said, I was discouraged and started  thinking about walking away from the mortgage. I told them how much I needed to pay off the mortgage. They all suggested a starting list price that was lower than I could’ve taken even if I wanted to.  They were very nice, with many compliments but told me my house would never appraise for what I was asking (and buyers wouldn’t be approved for mortgages that high).Then I met Donna. She was blunt and maybe a bit intimidating. She said my location was great, the kitchen/dining area was “special” and the main selling point she’d highlight.  When I said I was worried about it appraising for what I needed to get for it, she confidently said something like “you never know what will happen, people have a lot of cash to put down on houses these days, so the appraisal may not mean as much as you think.  I can sell this house.” I felt she believed what she said. I decided to completely trust her. She made me (mostly) stop worrying and got my focus on getting the house sold.  She even advised a higher listing price than I asked for.  Donna was bossy from the moment I signed with her, about getting me to do certain things before she listed it.  She was right about the urgency of every task, such as getting my basement cleaned out NOW, a railing for the stairs, and a few inexpensive tweaks here and there like curtain changes for lighting.  I felt like a train wreck and wondered why she pushed me so hard to get everything done yesterday. i found out why fast. The day of my open house, the house was beautifully staged, much because of her suggestions. I got multiple offers that same day  and a bidding war the next day. My house was SOLD under contract just 3 days after she listed it! She suggested which offer had  the best chance for closing and told me why, and it wasn’t the one I thought best.  I trusted her and wow, she is a great negotiator. We got a bit more than the  listed price,  and the sale closed in 6 weeks. She was constantly communicative and involved during the entire process. She has an assistant who is very reassuring and professional too. Donna is savvy, and I am glad I let her guide the process. She doesn’t get your listing for the commission and then disappear. She works for and earns every dollar. Go team Donna and many many thanks.”

Dear Donna,

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and all your staff for their professionalism, knowledge and expertise when it came to the sale of my home.  After living in my home for over 34 years it was an emotional journey that you helped, guided and assisted me in making.

From the very beginning of listing my home with Weichert, you (Donna) told me what I needed to do and how to make my home more marketable.   Every weekend there was an open house with the exception of one week, and that was due to a snowstorm. The social media exposure was fabulous and all the multiple listing services that were provided by listing with Weichert were top notch.

If I had a question, comment or concern you were always there and available no matter the day of the week or time of night.

The Weichert experience was one I would recommend to anyone thinking of buying or selling their home.  It was such a smooth process.  Thank you for all your knowledge, assistance and guidance.
