REVIEWS

Tony Romano

My wife and I have been working with Donna Castaneda for about 20 years. She was instrumental in helping us sell a Dana Point apartment building in the mid 2000’s, above market price, right before the mortgage crash. Since then she has helped us buy two off-market, very desirable, homes in Dana Point, at or below market value, that resulted in considerable gains for my wife and I. Donna’s tenacity and determination are exceptional, she definitely gives you an advantage when she is representing you as a realtor.

Donna is Amazing!! We were looking for a home with some specific requirements at a time when the market had such a low inventory which almost seemed impossible. But Donna was on it! She went above and beyond to help us find the house that we wanted. There were definitely some frustrating moments and Donna was encouraging during those times and very creative in her searches for us. She is a very seasoned realtor and it definitely showed. She had many connections that were also able to help along the way. She definitely knows her stuff and is all about helping her clients with any resource she has at her disposal. She truly wants you to find the perfect home for YOU and she knows how to navigate through the whole process to get you into that home quickly! We are so grateful for her help!

We met Donna at an open house and instantly connected. We could tell she was experienced and knowledgeable, what we quickly learned was that she was self driven to get the best 'for us'. Donna took the time to understand our wants and needs as well as challenge us to be open minded. she kept us on track and was always available for a question, house tour, or a supportive conversation. We met a stranger and ended up with a friend. Our experience was so positive, we highly recommend her for all your real estate needs.
