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.

You can trust Donna to Deliver Your Dream and Deal!

Buying a home can be a stressful experience, but Donna’s professionalism and expertise as a realtor helped us navigate the process with confidence and ease. She responded promptly to our inquiries, even outside of regular business hours, demonstrating her dedication to serving her clients. Donna’s ability to quickly arrange showings and follow up on open points was invaluable. She also advocated for my interests and investment, ensuring that I felt heard throughout the process. After the sale, Donna connected me with contractors and service providers she has vetted over two decades and hundreds of homes. These professionals share her commitment to excellence and are also very economical. I am incredibly grateful for Donna and her team’s assistance during our house hunting journey. They captured my goals and delivered my vision. I trust Donna to handle any home purchase or sale for me. Donna and her team have been a true blessing to work with! Donna is a realtor you can trust!
