Dot is simply THE BEST. She is experienced, knowledgable, honest and creative in her strategies for showings and offers. We were buying from out state and Dot went out of her way to accommodate our schedule, created exceptional video tours and met with relatives to tour homes in our absence. We had a running joke that Dot is always working because Dot was without hesitation was always available to hop on a phone call, text and continually kept us updated throughout every step of the process. She is very thorough, knows the real estate market, is very well connected in the DE, PA, NJ areas and because of Dot, we are in our dream home! We highly highly highly recommend Dot for any and all of your real estate needs!!!

Where do I start? Dot was everything great plus amazing. She remained completely transparent and never held back anything. She treated my family like her own and fought for us in every way possible to ensure that our family got our next level dream home. Buying a home after selling can be stressful, but she made searching for a new home enjoyable. She's authentic, real, and fun to be around. We will reach out to Dot in a year once my sister is ready to relocate to DE as well.

I had a fantastic experience working with my real estate agent! She did an outstanding job representing my property and guiding me through the entire process of getting my house sold. From the beginning, she was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly responsive. Her attention to detail and commitment to getting the best outcome really stood out.

She marketed the property beautifully, kept me informed every step of the way, and negotiated with confidence and care. Thanks to her expertise, the house sold smoothly and at a great price. I couldn’t have asked for a better agent and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate.

I recently relocated from Philadelphia to Delaware and had the pleasure of working with Dot as my realtor. As a first-time homebuyer navigating a big move, I was initially overwhelmed but Dot made the entire process smooth and stress-free.

She was incredibly knowledgeable about the local market and desirable areas in Delaware. She was always responsive, and truly took the time to understand what I was looking for in a new home. Dot’s professionalism, patience, and warm personality made me feel supported every step of the way.

Thanks to her guidance and expertise, I found the perfect home and couldn’t be happier. She was always honest and upfront. Also she was very patient showing us houses with my three boys tagging along!!!I highly recommend Dot to anyone looking for a dedicated and trustworthy realtor!!!!

Dot Donovan was hired as the selling agent for my mom’s home. She was the perfect match for us. Dot went well above our expectations when selling the house and supported us so well during the process. If you are getting ready to sell your home, make an appointment with Dot. You won’t be sorry. Listed and sold in record time!
Thank you Dot!

Dot Donovan was superb! We have worked with several realtors over our lifetime and Dot was truly a professional realtor, not a hobbyist. She provided superb advisement, anticipated concerns, provided timely and professional solutions, completed legwork before us asking “what’s next?” and completed a reasonably complicated multi-seller transaction without a hitch! She was always available, helped to stage the home, communicated succinctly, and made this all happen without even a wrinkle. Thank you Dot Donovan!

Dot was amazing! My family and I were moving from one state to another which was a very daunting idea. She was referred to us from our selling agent in PA and we could not have been happier. She helped inform us of different procedures from one state to another and answer any and all questions along the way as we learned. Took the stress out of the purchasing process

While searching for a Real Estate Agent to help with the purchase of our first home, I wanted someone with experience and integrity, above all else. Dot Donovan was recommended to me, for this reason; She immediately exhibited these values, and far exceeded our expectations as a real estate agent. Dot was honest with her professional opinion(s), which were rooted in experience and industry knowledge, and which gave us the confidence to make timely and educated decisions. She truly advocated for us, and fought for our best interests throughout the entire home buying process. Dot’s combination of industry experience and integrity/trustworthiness make her unique and set her apart from many of the other real agents in the industry. I strongly recommend her for this reason, and plan on using her in the future.

Dot has made our experience buying a home so manageable and fun, even going through the chaos of todays (last years) market. We had the pleasure of having Dots help a year ago in buying our first home and she was nothing short of everything we could ask for. She is incredibly knowledgeable, kind and understanding- we had a lot to learn and without her i don't know if we would have the same outcome! She has become a lifelong part of our life. She is so incredibly thoughtful, taking care of every little detail- even to this day- we received a beautiful note from her, congratulating us on our 1 year House Anniversary! All to say this company, and most especially Dot, keeps the needs and thoughts of their clients in mind at all times.

Dot was amazing! She was very responsive and educated on the home buying process. I was searching for a home for months with a different agent and put in multiple offers with no luck (at least 10 offers). I switched to Dot as my agent and she got the job done within the first few offers that was submitted. Communication was great! I will definitely recommend her to family and friends!

As a first time home buyer, Dot was amazing to work with! Not only did we find something that fit me perfectly, Dot kept it real simple, and kept the focus on what I wanted. Even with the market being as crazy as it is, we found the house that fit me, and in my price range. Dot showed care for me, and thought into every step and piece of every house we saw. Her guidance through the process made me very comfortable, and eased the tension of a crazy market. Dot finds the time to be there for the houses you want to see, on your schedule. Dot, YOURE THE BEST! Thank you.

Worked with Dot for nearly a year as we juggled around the right timing for our move and seriously couldn’t have been happier. She was patient with us and extremely knowledgeable on home value, market trends, and gave reputable recommendations for inspections and repair completions. Dot worked so hard on our behalf to help us get through the sale our home and to land the purchase of our true dream home. When stress was high, she was a voice of reason, reassurance, strength and determination. In our time spent with her, she always made the time for us and made us feel important and validated our concerns as well our desires. We were blessed to have Dot by our side through such an arduous process (our buyer put us through the ringer) and are glad she entered our lives and this process when she did! I’d highly recommend Dot to anyone looking to purchase or sell a home...you don’t want to regret anything during a home sale or purchase and with Dot, you surely won’t!

Having never purchased a home before, but also having toured many open houses, I found that Dot is one of the best and most qualified real estate agents that I have met. Throughout the entire home buying and selling process, Dot was right beside my wife and I. Any time we had questions or any time we needed to get into a home for a private tour, she made it happen. I simply could not ask for a better experience. She was available most hours of the day and went well above and beyond in her duties to help us. We had some bumps in the home buying process and with selling our home and she moved mountains to make sure we were able to get to closing on time. I would personally recommend her to any friends or family looking for a reliable, trust worthy, and professional real estate agent whether you are looking to buy or sell a home.

My fiancé and I had the pleasure of having the assistance and guidance from Dot during our 2nd attempt at purchasing a house. A year ago we were in the same search with a much different outcome. We were desperately searching for a home to buy and settle into before the holidays and the birth of our son. Our agent then was not as helpful nor sensitive to our needs and time, which forced us to postpone our search to a later date. This time around, based on our first experience we were very reluctant and pessimistic about having to start all over. Dot was referred to us by my sister, whom she also assisted in a home purchase. My sister boasted about Dot's great work ethic and thoroughness. Thankfully we took her advice and are so grateful to have experienced the same quality service that she did. Within a WEEK of the beginning of our search, we had an accepted offer on the home we would soon call ours! Our agent, Dot, was truly exceptional and her commitment and eagerness to help us made the process seamless ad enjoyable. She was patient, understanding, helpful, and always available to answer any questions or concerns. She guided us through the entire process with her knowledge and expertise and helped us make best informed decisions for us and our family. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to sell/purchase in either NJ or PA. You will not regret it!! THANK YOU DOT for the pleasant and stress free home buying experience!
