About Donna

Donna Sanford & Associates is a Michigan-based real estate team. Our mission is to deliver service you will appreciate. Your dreams and goals are our first priority. With nearly 1,200 properties closed and $400 million in sales, we know how to help you achieve your real estate goals, while reducing the risks and stress that can sometimes be associated with real estate. Over 90% of our sales come from referrals of our happy clients, and we are so grateful! Our negotiating skills combined with a variety of strategies ensure our sellers get top dollar while our buyers win on the right property at the best price. We have sold homes from $50,000 up to $5,800,000 so no job is too big or too small. ABOUT DONNA: Donna began her real estate career as an investor in 2008, upon her return to the US from the United Kingdom, where she was a Plant Director for General Motors from 2004-2008. Having worked primarily in factories at GM since 1980, Donna had the opportunity to hone her negotiation skills over a 29-year period. She has been able to apply her vast experiences from the automotive industry to benefit her clients in the real estate industry. Beginning in 2011, as a Licensed realtor, and subsequently as an Associate Broker, Donna has worked tirelessly to standardize and continuously improve her systems to develop top results for her clients. The goal is that each client feels like they are her only client with a level of care that makes them feel like they are family. This is where the mantra “service you will appreciate” was born. ABOUT David Riemenschneider: As the owner of Birmingham Bloomfield Masonry for 25 years, David developed an expansive knowledge of home construction. Upon the family’s return from the UK in 2008, David’s full-time attention shifted to renovating (“flipping”) homes. This allowed him to work side by side with other professionals and develop a trusted list of suppliers and contractors. By focusing closely on high quality finishes, the renovated homes sold in record time. In 2013, David became a licensed realtor to support Donna’s growing real estate business, primarily attending listing interviews and buyer home showings & inspections. His strong foundation in construction, deep knowledge gleaned from attending hundreds of home inspections, and trusted network of contractors & suppliers have made David a true asset to home buyers and sellers, especially when resolving occasional issues during home inspections and listing readiness.

An agent that does what it takes without sacrificing moral integrity.

An agent that does what it takes without sacrificing moral integrity.

I am so grateful for Donna and her team. I was out of state during the home sale process. I left the house empty to get married and start me new life. Donna was able to list, stage, and sell the house without me being there. I was in a remote area for the closing; we got a cash offer, and she coordinated someone to drive 2.5 hours to meet us to notarize the signing. From offer to cash in my bank account was around 2 weeks. Donna negotiated with the buyer's agent to get the best possible outcome. I felt confident relying on Donna's advice and experience, and her track record proves that. You can really lean on her expertise and relax during the whole process. Time is a resource you cannot buy. Donna's team allowed me to enjoy my honeymoon while she staged and sold the house.

Donna has extensive market knowledge and is a consummate professional who was always responsive.

Our specifications changed in the ten months we worked with Donna to find a home. She was always flexible and patient with us and never pushed us into making a decision. Her knowledge of the market was superb. Also, her engineering background was invaluable as we toured homes and she educated us on structural issues to avoid. She was consistently professional and responsive whether it was early morning or after midnight -she was always available.

Finally found the house for US

I have known Donna for many years and she was our first choice when looking for a home. She sold me my condo and sold my husband‘s condo before he moved to Clarkston. She and her husband, Dave were diligent in helping us find a property that had all of the things we were looking for in a home. Donna was kind, honest, supportive, and ensured that my husband and I would be beyond happy with our decision. Donna has years of experience selling and buying homes and we trusted her expertise throughout the entire buying process. We would highly recommend Donna Sanford for anyone’s buying/selling needs.

Donna is amazing! Despite unexpected buyer issues that led to a third round, she went above and beyond to get us the best possible offer. Her dedication and expertise made all the difference. We couldn't have asked for a better realtor and highly recommend her!
