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.

HER EXPERTISE RESULTED IN A QUICK FULL PRICE SALE!

HER EXPERTISE RESULTED IN A QUICK FULL PRICE SALE!

Donna, David and her team went above and beyond! She knows real estate and she knows this market well. Her experience in timing the listing and initial showings created interest and quality showings from interested buyers. Our home was prepped, photographed and showed well because of her good advice and styling tips. Donna was pro-active during the contingency phase of the offer and she let us well informed during the process. We always felt our home was in good hands and treated as if it were her own home. We were glad to have Donna and team represent us in the sale of this home because she did such a fabulous job for us in buying this house ten years ago. She is excellent in both ends of a transaction, whether buying or selling. We highly recommend her to anyone!

Excellent experience for an out of town sale‼️

Excellent experience for an out of town sale‼️

Donna and her team were not only knowledgable and professional, she and her husband went above and beyond helping in all areas of preparing & selling a home 2400 miles from where I live. Donna was available for any & all needed communication, including late nights not convenient for her. Also was helpful navigating & advising through an outdated trust. Donna has that amazing balance of the utmost professionalism & just plain nice‼️ Would recommend 10/10.

Donna was amazing every step of the way!

Donna was amazing every step of the way!

We had an absolutely fantastic experience working with Donna throughout the entire home-buying process. From the very beginning, she was extremely knowledgeable, and very responsive. She took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and guided us through every step with patience and expertise. Donna had excellent recommendations for inspectors and went so far as to schedule contractors to come and look at potential issues with the home. Even if we weren't available to meet the contractors at the house, Donna was there with them, getting reports and estimates so that we had all of the information before we made an offer. What really stood out was her dedication and attention to detail. She was always available to answer questions, explain the process clearly, and make sure we felt confident in every decision. Her advice and negotiation skills made all the difference and ultimately helped us secure the perfect home. Buying a house can be stressful, but she made the experience smooth and even enjoyable. We truly felt like she had our best interests at heart the entire time. We couldn’t be happier with our new home and are so grateful for all the hard work she put in to make it happen. I told my wife just before closing, "I think we found our forever agent". We HIGHLY recommend Donna to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. If you want someone who is professional, trustworthy, passionate and genuinely committed to their clients, you won’t find anyone better!
