What Donna’s Clients Say....
 

Dear Prospective Home Buyer, I would like to recommend Donna Demis to you if you are planning on buying or selling a home.  My husband and I moved from Wisconsin to Colorado this year using the Real Estate services of Donna Demis.  A move from a different part of the United States is perhaps one of the most difficult types of moves. We had a vague idea of the areas surrounding Denver but needed someone who would take the time to educate us on things that aren’t a part of the computer data sheets available to all customers. Donna started working with us long distance, always listening to our requirements and being very responsive to our time-line.  We scheduled two trips to Denver for house hunting. The first weekend she set aside time for us completely and showed us five or six different communities. By the time we came back for our second house-hunting weekend, we had sold our house back in Wisconsin and decided on a completely different set of communities to research. This was no problem for Donna. She was always courteous, friendly, and gave us all the time we needed.   As a former Realtor myself, I think my expectations of what level of service I expected were higher than the average client may have. I was completely satisfied that Donna was honest, professional, and knowledgeable in all areas. From home searching to closing, Donna was right on top of things. She sets high demands on herself and her staff. If you want to have a real estate experience like ours, you would be wise in hiring Donna as your Buyer Agent. I am sure she would bring the same qualities to the table if you needed a good Realtor to sell your home.

Rene, Now that the dust has settled, and we've begun to truly enjoy our new home, I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your tireless efforts in finding us the home of our dreams. And it certainly is our "dream home."   When I think of the hours, days, nights, and weekends that we spent working together; me saying "hope, this one doesn't feel right," and you saying, "don't worry; your house is out there somewhere,' it just boggles my mind. You didn't give up, though, thankfully, and all of that time and effort was well worth the journey. Best of all, Dave and I feel like we gained a valued friend during this experience.  I wanted to let you know that, thanks in large part to you; we got our home for almost $50,000 under the appraised value. I can't even begin to express the gratitude that Dave and I feel for your expertise and patience. You're, quite frankly, the best Realtor®  we've worked with. That's saying quite a lot when you consider that we've sold 3 homes in the past 2 years!  We intend to stay put for a good long time now. If, though, by some odd chance we should need to sell our house at some point in the future, you're the one we'll call. I've also sung your praises to everyone in my family, and all of the new  friends that we've made here.  Thanks again, Rene. We appreciate you more than you could know!

If you are looking to purchase or sell a home you need to consider Donna Demis if you want to move forward quickly and professionally.  Donna is the hardest working and most knowledgeable Realtor® that I have ever had the pleasure of doing business with.  What’s unique about Donna is that she actually listens to her clients needs and responds with solutions that meet and exceed expectations.  Her tireless efforts in finding me the right home and her valuable experience in the negotiation process allowed me to get the exact home that I’d envisioned for a price below what I had expected to pay.  Simply put, Donna is the best Realtor® in Colorado hands down.

For some time, I have been challenged in creating an alliance with a local Realtor® who would respect both my immediate intent as well as follow up on my more long term goals.  More often then not, my budget was ignored, the homes chosen for showings were at odds with my stated priorities, and the quality of communication was frustrating.  To our good fortune, your team approach to working with investment buyers has proven to be of benefit to us both.  You are to be given high marks for your professional, comprehensive efforts and the apparent ease with which you carry them out.  I’m certain that your assistants, Rachel and Logan, are to be thanked as well, as they have proven to be equally accessible, responsible and organized.  Apparently good service is not a thing of the past.  I look forward to working with Demis Realty in previewing and purchasing many more properties in the future.  I  “Discovered the Difference”.

It is my pleasure to recommend the services of Donna Demis as an outstanding real estate agent. Donna consistently works with the highest level of honesty and integrity to provide excellent services to all her clients. Her services go beyond the standard services offered by most agents. For example she worked with me to “stage” my home so that it would show well before listing it. Within a few hours, she transformed my home into a “model” home that was inviting and appealing to potential buyers. The first couple who viewed my home made an offer the same day Donna’s sign was erected in the yard. Donna assisted me to negotiate the price I wanted so that we were under contract immediately. She actively supported all aspects of the transaction from the inspection and appraisal to the final closing. Donna definitely went the extra miles to make my real estate transaction a good experience and a success, and she will do the same for you!

We decided to buy a house in Boulder that we could someday retire to, and in the meantime rent out to cover mortgage expenses.  The problem is that we live in California.  We asked two of our good friends that live in Boulder how we would even begin to accomplish such a task.  They both said in unison “Call Donna Demis”.  So we called Donna Demis, and now we are the proud owners of a home in Boulder that will be a great rental as well as a home for us in the future.  Donna was able to preview houses, and tell us if it would meet our needs or not.  Her screening allowed us to move confidently on to the next property for consideration.  She has a great eye for her clients’ needs, as well as a great eye for value.  When the right place came along she acted quickly to get it under contract so we would not lose it.  We were able to do almost everything via fax, phone, internet and email.  We didn’t have to get on a plane to Boulder until the inspection was scheduled!  Donna handled the closing for us and everything went perfectly.  All told, it was an unbelievably smooth process, especially considering we were buying a home from 1000 miles away.   Donna is just terrific.  We really enjoyed our frequent phone conversations.  Our only regret about it all happening so quickly and easily is that now we have no real reason to call her!  Thanks for everything Donna.

I'm pleased to provide this letter of recommendation to anyone who may be considering Donna Demis to serve their real estate needs.   Donna was recommended to me by a mutual friend who was aware of the challenges we had faced for over two years in selling a rather unique property on the Golf Course at The Ranch in Westminster.  We met with Donna who immediately provided several suggestions for improving the "appeal" of the property - even prior to receiving the listing. When we transferred the listing from our previous Realtor® to Donna she jumped in immediately to do everything she could to generate interest and showings, Donna was persistent in following up on all leads and in keeping us well informed.  It was clear she shared our frustration in not being able to get the property sold, and it was her "mission" to make it happen for; us. Approximately 90 days after engaging Donna as our Realtor® our home was under contract to a family that moved in literally the day we closed, and within a week became new members at The Ranch Country Club.  Donna is a delightful person to work with, and I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to either buy or sell a properly.  Thanks again, Donna!

It is an honor to write a letter of recommendation for our Realtor®, Donna Demis.  I need to explain, my husband and I live in Richland, Washington.  We have never met Donna face-to-face; however, I feel that Donna is not only our Realtor® and advocate, but also a friend.  We moved there two years ago leaving our home in Westminster vacant and for sale.  The housing market had dried up due to a downturn in the economy and the glut of new home construction.  It stayed vacant for four months as we continued to try and sell it through another Realtor®.  We did not receive a single viable offer.  We had to take another tack and found an efficient rental manager, we was able to lease the property very quickly.  The renters lived in our home for 16 months and moved out at the end of June this year (2004), since we had decided to put the home back on the market.  We felt pressured to sell before winter.  Our rental manager also had a Realtor®’s license and we had him list the property in the MLS.  Two months went by with no activity … especially no offers.  I knew we needed to find a real estate agent who could hustle and had a creative plan.  Our good friend in Westminster strongly recommended Donna, who was selling a rental property for her.  Donna does open house showings, has a virtual tour of each home on the internet and works 24/7.  She was efficient yet caring.  I feel like I know her.  The result was spectacular!  Within 3 weeks, Donna had 2 prospective buyers.  One made a verbal offer and the other gave us a written offer, which we accepted.  Our closing will be handled via fax and overnight mail, again, because of Donna’s ability to get the job done.  My husband and I have nothing but praise for Donna’s abilities and would recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home.

YOU ARE ABOUT TO MAKE A BIG DECISION – Our daughter had lived in our house for the last 6 years.  When she was ready to move, we decided to put our house up for sale.  So we put in the front yard “For Sale By Owner”.  After about 2 months we had had quite a few “lookers”, but not even one offer!  Fortunately, Donna saw our sign in the yard, contacted us and asked to list the house.  Best decision we ever made, we said sure why not.  Donna kept in close contact with us, so we were never wondering what was going on.  When we closed on the house, it had been less than 2 months since her sign went in the front yard.  Several people asked us how we sold our house so fast.  We were very pleased with Donna’s professionalism and personal service.  After closing, there was a problem with the title company, and Donna went the extra mile.  Donna intervened on our behalf (that’s putting it mildly!) and the problem was solved with interest!!.

“We recently listed and sold our home in Boulder, Colorado through Donna Demis.  Having sold more than a dozen primary and secondary homes, we feel somewhat qualified to compare between Realtors®.  Stated simply, our experience with Donna was unmatched.  She was remarkable well-prepared, competent and always in contact with us a virtually every point in the sales process.  The feedback from Donna was near constant.  We always knew the status of our transaction thanks to Donna’s (unique) weekly phone calls.  (She never missed one.)  We also appreciated her follow-up with the other Realtors® who viewed our house with clients and decided not to purchase it.  If/when we reduced the price by a minor amount, Donna laboriously called each past Realtor® who showed our home and made them aware of the change's.  Perhaps most notable is how Donna reacted after we lost a near full price contract due to a skittish, first-time buyer over a normal inspection on our (older) home.  Donna did not miss a beat.  She acted like it was nothing.  She promptly and positively put our home back on the market immediately, seeming to work harder for us – she sold it shortly thereafter!  In my 46 years, I’ve learned that you can often lean a person’s true nature during adversity, or when things do not go as planned.  Donna’s reaction to this adversity is testament to her resolve and her character.  Should you have any questions about Donna, please feel free to contact me.  We purchased another home in Boulder, and we plan to sell it through Donna if we ever move again!”

“We started looking for a Real Estate Agent to sell our house.  Donna had actually just sold one down the street so we asked if we could interview her to sell our house.  We interviewed 7 different agents and selected an agent from each of the top Real Estate companies that we felt were well represented in the Broomfield area.  Once we interviewed the other 6 it was quite obvious that we were to select Donna as our agent.
   1.)  She was the only agent to show up ready to close the deal with us.  She brought her contract and info packet and she was ready to start.
   2.)    Donna lived in the area so we were sure she would be able to attend to our needs in a timely fashion.
   3.)    She was always very professional and we were proud that she was representing us as the sellers and our best interest.
   4.)    Donna was down to earth with dealing with people.
She proved these points to be true over the course of selling our house.  We were able to go through the negotiations without a hitch and everything went smoothly.  Donna carried out every task that she promised in our initial interview with her and we were very satisfied with a job well done.”

“I would like to commend Donna Demis for her help in finding us our home.  We moved to Colorado in August of 2003 from Santa Barbara CA and decided Boulder was the place for us.  We had not spent much time in the area knew nothing about the local market and really did not know our way around town.  We were seeking a particular school district, we had an idea what size home we were looking for and knew what would be the maximum price we wanted to pay.  This is the ninth home my wife and I have bought or sold and we have come to know what features are important to us.  We were amazed at the amount of inventory and the diversity of the market.  One third more square footage for half the price!  There were many different types of homes and many different areas of town to consider.  Old established neighborhoods vs. new developments.  Being in the city or out a little further out.  Views vs. no views.  City lot vs. a larger rural lot.  Many more considerations than what we have been accustomed to in the past.  Donna and my wife must have been inside close to 100 homes ranging up to a million dollars in price.  In the end we found something that made us happy for the low $700’s.  It was amazing what Donna was capable of doing in a day.  One day on short notice, she and my wife were able to go through 20 homes!  How she was able to get the appointments made and people out of their homes so quickly was truly something!  Donna and my wife would pick the best of the bunch and then have me out to look.  Donna was a true professional throughout the whole process.  She did a great job educating us about Boulder and the nuances of this particular market.  Many Realtors® are quick to point out the positive attributes of a property, Donna certainly did so as well but she was also very forthright in pointing out what she considered to be negatives too.  Be it location considerations or issues dealing with the property or the house itself.  Her valuable input made us feel comfortable and reassured that we would make a wise decision and make a good pick.  It did not take her any time to determine which homes would be worth showing us.  She had us figured out pretty quickly.  We were difficult as we wanted to see a broad cross section of the Boulder market to get a feel for value and pricing.  I requested a lot of information to help me get a handle on the Boulder market and Donna was quick to deliver.  We are now in our house and find that we like it better every day we are here.  It is probably on eof the best living houses of the nice we have had.  The transaction was very smooth without any glitches thanks to Donna being so thorough and on top of things.  There was nothing overlooked and closing was a pleasant experience for all involved.  When it came time to make the offer, she did not hesitate my coming in at $75K below the asking price.  She was very helpful laying out strategy and we went back and forth a few times without creating any angst for us or the sellers.  In the end we settled on a price $40K below the asking price.  Of all the Realtors® we have dealt with, none have done a better job than Donna.  Very professional, very courteous.  She is a good listener, she is a very detail oriented and knows how to get the job done.  She is very direct and to the point in her manner.  No time wasted with this girl!  I felt I had spent very little time away from work when she and my wife had me looking at their top picks.  She would give me a very accurate and quick rundown on the properties and the supporting numbers and I always felt confidant I was seeing the best value for the money within the Boulder market.  We developed a great respect for Donna.  She is a hard worker, very tenacious and will not quit until she feels the job is done and she has a happy, satisfied customer.  For those seeking the services of a Realtor®, my wife and I would be happy to serve as a reference.  We would be pleased to relate how pleasing our experience was with Donna Demis."
