About Donna
EVERY person deserves a home. I LOVE helping people. It puts pure joy in my heart! I bring personal and knowledgeable service that is genuinely responsive to my client's needs; a "Neighborhood Specialist" familiar with local communities, home values, and price trends; top professional skills continually refined through continuing education classes and hands-on practical knowledge of the home buying/selling process. With 15+ years of Real Estate experience, a degree in Electrical Engineering and 18 years of USAF Military training, I carry an exceptional level of dedication, communication and organization. I pride myself on providing the highest level of communication and honesty. I believe in "laying it on the line" and I'm not afraid to tell people things they may not want to hear. This makes me a client's best source for buying or selling their home. I am every client's advocate and will persevere until the best home is found or the home sells for the right price. My increasing number of repeat/referral clients is a testimony to the comfort level that they have with me. When not practicing Real Estate, I can be found fishing or golfing with my husband, shopping, spending time with my kids, grandkids, playing with my dog; traveling, coin collecting, doing a great puzzle or attending Cocoa First Assembly of God. Thanks again, for taking the time to learn a bit about me and I certainly, look forward to learning more about you, your family and your home needs.

Marisela is AMAZING

Marisela was willing to take us to whichever and how ever many houses we wanted. She also brought our now new home back to our list as it came back on the market. She spoke plainly and directly with us, which was SO APPRECIATED so we could make informed decisions. We are so happy with our experience with Marisela and Ideal Real Estate that should we ever go through buying/selling our home again, we will most assuredly be returning customers.

On time agent, excellent comunicator.

I would recommend her anytime!

Marisela is an excellent realtor, and I would recommend her any time. From the very beginning, Marisela was very friendly, communicative, and professional. I was looking for my first home to buy, and I got Marisela recommended by my parents, and she didn't disappoint. She's very knowledgeable, and she was very good at answering whatever questions I had, no matter how small, and if she didn't know the answer, she got to work to find out and give me the information. She helped me through the whole process, keeping me updated and guiding me through the process of buying a new home. I really feel she looked out for my best interest and feel she was very professional throughout the whole process. I'm extremely happy with Marisela and all of the help she provided in the journey of buying my new home.
