"I've moved many times in my adult life, so you can say I've had many different agents. Donna Varnum was more than just an agent. She became a friend. Together we found a beautiful home in a beautiful neighborhood She understood what I was looking for and did more than any other realtor and we found our house. She would take the time to listen and she was very professional. And she negotiated a great deal for me and my family. We celebrated together when the paperwork was all completed. I missed seeing her after the sale was complete. She became a friend. She brings her own skill, knowledge and personality when meeting with her client. She's not pushy or in your face about buying right now. She will explore all options and try to find the best fit for her client. It's like she's buying the house too. We had fun and in the end I try to keep her name a part of this house by sharing with others that Donna Varnum is my realtor and friend."

"My husband and I worked with Donna to purchase our first home, in Fuquay-Varina, NC. From the start of the process, Donna's help was invaluable. She took the time to explore neighborhoods to identify areas that would meet our criteria, filtering out homes that she knew we wouldn't like. This was particularly helpful because we were not familiar with Fuquay-Varina, and didn't have much time to explore on our own. When we viewed homes with Donna, she was always knowledgeable about the neighborhood and builder. In the few cases when she couldn't answer a question immediately, she'd follow up with an answer within a day.
Eventually, we settled on a home, and Donna coordinated the entire purchase process. Again, she saved us time by "pre-negotiating" with the seller for an agreed-upon price, so that my husband and I didn't have to go through the process of offering and counter-offering. During the contract phase, Donna seamlessly coordinated the inspection and survey, and all the other details we wouldn't have thought of. When closing time came, Donna was beside me at the attorney's office, carefully reading the documentation and confirming all the details, and we closed on our home with no hitches at all. Donna helped us find a great home that meets our all needs, and provided valuable guidance to us as first time home buyers. I'd highly recommend Donna to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in Wake County."
