Let me begin with the conclusion: Donalyn and Hank Allen are rare gems in real estate. If someone I cared about was buying a home, I would insist—persistently—that they work with the Allens. After 25 years in our previous home, we were ready to find what we hoped would be our final nesting place—a low-maintenance home in a 55+ community. We thought we knew exactly what we wanted after years of research, but working with the Allens taught us that sometimes the right home isn’t the one you expected. Donalyn is a force of nature. She listens intently—several layers deep—and once she understands your goals, she pursues them relentlessly. We met her at an open house and were impressed. But we were blown away the next day when she located an unlisted home with the exact floor plan we’d been seeking. While it ultimately wasn’t the one, her speed, resourcefulness, and connections amazed us. From then on, we called her “Go Get’r.” Throughout the process, Donalyn was nearly instantly available for every question, every showing, every detail. We never waited long for a response, and her follow-through was flawless. She encouraged us to stay open to possibilities—and we’re so glad she did. Hank brings a calm, thoughtful approach grounded in deep experience with construction and project management. He quietly observed, listened, and then suggested we revisit a development we had written off. We trusted him enough to take another look, and it turned out to be exactly what we needed. He saw what we couldn’t yet see. Once we found the right home, Donalyn negotiated a great price and coordinated an aggressive, perfectly timed closing that aligned with our home sale. Every detail—inspections, contracts, walkthroughs—was handled smoothly and ethically. If you’re buying a home, you want Sea to Farm Real Estate by your side. Donalyn and Hank are simply the best. We are so thankful they came into our lives.

Let me start with the bottom line: Donalyn and Hank Allen are unicorns. If a close friend or loved one needed a realtor, I would badger them until they chose the Allens. We needed to sell our beloved home of 25 years—a property with large trees, lush gardens, and lots of maintenance—before we could buy our next home. The Allens guided us every step of the way. Over several months, they gave us clear, practical instructions for preparing the home. It was obvious they knew far more than we did (as it should be with any professional), and their experience gave us peace of mind. Donalyn’s market analysis was spot-on—equal parts data and instinct. She helped us choose a smart, competitive price. The photography was beautiful, and the MLS listing was so well done we found ourselves saying, “Dang… that looks like a home I’d want to buy!” Despite a cooling market and increased competition in our neighborhood, we had 9 showings in 7 days and received a full-price offer. That’s no accident—it's the result of experience, strategic thinking, and impeccable follow-through. Donalyn also set and managed an aggressive closing timeline, aligning our sale and purchase seamlessly. As movers finished loading our truck, the buyer’s moving pod pulled into the driveway. Talk about timing. From inspection to appraisal to contract changes, they protected our interests and our earnest money with calm, confident professionalism. They were always available, incredibly responsive, and deeply ethical in every interaction. Donalyn and Hank Allen are worth more than their commission. If you’re selling your home, do yourself a favor and call Sea to Farm Real Estate. We’re profoundly grateful we did.

I could not have completed this transaction without Donalyn! I had to move out of state, suddenly and unexpectedly and Donalyn supported me through every step. She exceeded expectations. She was extremely communicative and walked me through each part of the process with care and diligence. I highly recommend Donalyn to help with a buy or sale of real estate.

Donalyn was always quick to answer any messages, questions and or concerns we had regardless of the time and day. If she didn't know the answer to something she would quickly get one. She was very patient with us during our specific search. She never pushed anything on us nor made us feel that we were wasting her time, she was always friendly and professional. Her and her husband were present during closing and gifted us a beautiful basket. Thank you!

Marty was very professional. She was knowledgeable about the market. She made sure we got top dollar. She stayed in contact with us during the whole process even when we were out of state for a month. I will always go to Marty. She bought another home with us years ago and I knew she would be the best with selling this home. Thank you Marty for all your hard work!! You are 5 stars with us!!

Donalyn and her husband Hank have been a blessing to my family as well as my sister. We would not be here in Idaho without her expertise and care. They give 100 percent to everyone. We think of them as friends now, not “agents”.
