The MercFoss Team is outstanding

This is a well oiled machine providing 24/7 service. We purchased our dream home in 2020 & sold our home in 2021, after being on the market 2 weeks, using the MercFoss Team. Although Donna has a wealth of experience guiding us threw every step in the process of selling & buying our dream home, Donielle & Chris are vital integral members of the team. Donielle has endless patience & creativity in finding homes & showing us homes that meet our needs & interests. She stayed on top of the homes we viewed promptly notifying us of any change in list price. Chris has significant social media experience in showcasing homes, holding virtual open houses, & preparing contracts. So thankful to this team for their professionalism, expertise, & guidance. We are thrilled with our new home & the speed at which they showcased & sold our home.

I had the best experience with Donna.

I moved from out of town and Donna nailed it with just the information I had given her on the phone about what I wanted . Bought the first house I walked into! My first choice of neighborhood, style and size if home. And she is a kind and thoughtful and thorough professional.

Our second experience with Donna

This is the second or third(?)transaction with Donna. She is trustworthy and professional and always available for communication via phone! She has become a friend, and will be our realtor for all future transactions. We highly recommend her and her team.

Great Job!

Thanks to Donna we successfully sold our house at a great price, at the right time and with a slightly complicated schedule necessary for our situation (closing date, rent back, etc.) . Donna and team gave us great advice on how to get our property ready for sale, where to invest in 'fixes', and how to price it. She was very attentive to our needs and her experience helped us get the deal that worked best for us. Thanks Donna!

You need Donna Mercier as your agent!

We are so lucky to have had Donna as our agent to quickly find us a fabulous home in Lake Forest for our family despite low inventory, multiple offers, and in a global pandemic. We learned a lot from Donna because she’s a pro and works with a team of pros so you’re in good hands when random things come up related to a home purchase. Donna loves what she does and it shines through. It’s important to have a smart and caring agent like Donna (and her team) because you are entrusting them with a major life event. Donna kept us on course the whole way from start to finish. Donna said on our very first call that she’d find us a house. Then, coincidentally on my birthday, she found us the house...and we signed a contract that same day. We still can’t quite believe that we are living in Lake Forest and we have Donna and team to thank for that. This review would be too long if I wrote all the other amazing things Donna did (so you’ll just have to see for yourself by working with Donna and her team).
