Get to know me

Hi, I’m Dona.

I’m a real estate professional with a strong background in marketing and sales. Before becoming a full-time real estate agent, I worked for a North American home builder, managing marketing and sales for new construction homes. That experience shaped my approach: helping clients make confident, well-informed decisions in today’s market.

Since then, I’ve had the privilege of guiding buyers and sellers across the greater Seattle area, supporting first-time homeowners, families navigating major life changes, and sellers looking to maximize their investment.

Outside of real estate, I enjoy Rizzmic with the ladies of Maple Valley, tending my garden, and discovering beautiful homes. Whether you’re buying, selling, or simply exploring your options, my goal is to make your real estate journey both successful and enjoyable.
