Liz guided my parents through all the paperwork and we were successful in finding their new home. We appreciate Liz so much and recommend her to anybody who’s thinking of buying or selling a home.

Hannah and Donna worked together with us. They are an amazing team and helped us get our place in Beaverton. Every step of the way they were there answering questions and letting us know what's next! Fantastic family! 

The Vangsnes Family

Thankful for Hannah and all her expertise and help moving back from Arizona. She went above and beyond for us knowing we could not make it to home inspection etc. She made the process very easy, answered a million questions we had and made sure every part of the journey was smooth and effortless on our end.  Thank you, Hannah!

Dawn M. 

Hannah was quite literally amazing. I wish I had the words to express how awesome she made the whole experience. She had the answers to all of my many questions and if she didn’t, she sought the answer very efficiently. She always responded to my texts when I needed help and greeted me with a smile every single time. She is down to earth, and not pushy or over bearing in any capacity. She is professional and most of all, cares about every single person she works with. I will forever recommend Hannah, and her team to anyone looking for a realtor. I never leave google reviews, but had to for Hannah!

Mackenzie M.

I didn't know the perfect realtor existed until I met Donna. You think I'm exaggerating, but I am not. When my father needed to make a sudden move across country due to health concerns, we were left to sell his house well and quickly. I spoke with several agents who were pushy, impersonal, had no follow through, and lacked professionalism. We were in a stressful situation with a difficult time line, and were discouraged that we would have to settle for one of those agents. Then a friend from Florida recommended Donna.
 
Upon the very first phone call we found her to be warm and knowledgeable. That was only the beginning. One of the things we appreciated straight out of the gate was her ability to be clear and concise, laying a foundation for great trust between our parties. She communicated the strategy we would use, then backed up her plan with extensive comp research and detailed steps for success. Every step of the strategy was executed with precision and accuracy. I knew that if Donna said something would happen on a particular day, that indeed it would be done. She proved incredible integrity at every turn. The home we were selling and the market we were experiencing appeared to pose a potential challenge to us, but not to Donna. She was tenacious, honest, savvy, persuasive, and thorough. When I say she was on top of every communication, I mean she was a supreme advocate and treated our family as though it were her own. The combination she wields of professionalism, experience, and extreme like-ability is a triple threat that you want in your corner. She's not just your realtor, she's your secret weapon. On the choppy seas of real estate, she's the captain you want sailing your boat to shore. She'll not only get you there safely, but she'll have you feeling like a storm on the high seas is actually a dinner cruise...sit back, because Donna's got this. 

Rory C. 

Donna and her team were true professionials from start to finish. As it had been over 20 years since I had sold a home, Donna was able to guide me every step of the way. From tips on getting my home ready to list, breaking down the terms and details so they were easy to digest, expert recommendations on pricing and the current market to prompt feedback and expert negotiations--she did it all! I can't say enough about the beautiful photographs, flyer and magazine brochure that no doubt gave me an upper hand in selling my home. Hannah and Liz were excellent Open House hosts, and I could not have done this without them. Thank you for making this process such a positive experience for everyone! I'm looking forward to finding my perfect next home with the help of you and your fabulous team--you ladies ROCK!

Jenn W.

I don’t know how Donna does it! The amount of effort and time she put into walking us through the new build process was unbelievable. As first-time buyers Donna provided wonderful guidance. We didn’t know all the questions we should be asking but Donna proactively provided us with all the information, which made us feel like we were educated and walking through the process with eyes wide open. We would strongly recommend Donna to everyone we know! Cannot thank Donna enough. 

Adelaida & Matt 

I have had the pleasure of working with Donna many times, both as a lender partner and a client. She does an exceptional job for every family she works with!  She goes above and beyond in her customer service, and has a true desire to know the needs and desires of the people she works with.  Her positive, upbeat attitude brings so much joy to the process! I would highly recommend Donna to anyone!

The Zimmerman Family

Donna is by far the most amazing human being to work with. She is truly in your corner, going above and beyond, making the process of buying and/or selling property as smooth as possible. We (my family and I), are so incredibly grateful for her and her team. If you are looking for a realtor, look no further. She is truly is the best!


The Burchfield Family

It would be a mistake to contact anyone other than Donna Ellison. She truly puts your needs and goals first. Donna cares about you as a person and what is best for you. She will give you honest, no BS feedback and is always a positive influence to any day. I can't tell you how many times I've called Donna in tears of frustration or otherwise and she is always in my corner and my #1 cheer leader. Friend. Honest. Integrity. Do yourself a favor, look no further. There are no words that can completely affirm the level of personalism, professionalism, and quality person that Donna truly is as a person and professional.


Heather H-C.

Donna Ellison and Ellison Team Homes has been fantastic to work with.

Recently we closed on a Non-Conforming Commercial property that was a real challenge. It took a while and we were very pleased with the outcome.

Donna and her team helped us find a vacation property recently. She spent weekends driving hours to show houses, and her team processed offers even on Sunday.

It is so nice to have a fighter in your corner in today's challenging home buying market.

Donna is very good, and we highly recommend her and her team.

The Joyner Family

I was trying to sell my property when the tenants were still living there. With that came many challenges, expected and unexpected. With Donna’s steadfast support and resourcefulness we overcame one difficulty after another. Her thorough knowledge in real estate market and incredible marketing skills secured a satisfactory offer 48 hours after my property hit the market. I feel lucky to have an expert like Donna by my side. If you want to sell your house go to Donna. Rest assured, you are in good hands!


Yang Cao

Donna was amazing. She really listened to our needs and concerns, and she delivered. I dreaded the entire home buying process, but Donna made it easy and successful. I would recommend her in a heartbeat!



The Lyons Family

Liz is an amazing realtor who I highly recommend! She is very patient, professional, friendly and experienced. She helped me find my perfect house/home. She is absolutely wonderful to work with and I would definitely work with her again!

Nancy H.

   

   Liz was very professional and in tune with the current market. She meet use at numerous homes we wanted to view, and when she was unable to meet us she arranged for other realtors to help. She made offers for us and encouraged us not to give up. We were successful in purchasing a home we love because we had Liz as our realtor.

 


The Usery Family

Liz is a fantastic realtor! I have known Liz for years and she always does her job with the utmost professionalism and integrity. When it was time for my parents to move closer to family and look at downsizing, Liz was the first person I thought of to work with our situation. Liz took extra care and patience working with my sister, myself and my elderly parents to navigate this huge life change and help find listings that fit their criteria. She was on top of all the new listings and got us showings quickly. She always kept a calm demeanor, and helped us navigate through the bidding process in this crazy, competitive Portland housing market! Liz was successful to help my parents negotiate and win the bid. We thought my parents were going to lose the bid on the house they wanted, and Liz managed to keep them in as the front runner in the bidding process. She has the ability to spin several plates at one time to help coordinate on the closing process as well. We were in very good hands with Liz. She removed a lot of stress for us, and she knows the Portland area market, I would recommend her to other people in the market to sell or buy a home.

The Weller Family

I was trying to sell my property when the tenants were still living there.  With that came many challenges, expected and unexpected.  With Donna’s steadfast support and resourcefulness we overcame one difficulty after another.  Her thorough knowledge in the real estate market and incredible marketing skills secured a satisfactory offer 48 hours after my property hit the market. I feel lucky to have an expert like Donna by my side. If you want to sell your house go to Donna.  Rest assured, you are in good hands!

The Cao and Chen Family

    Liz was an absolutely amazing realtor to work with. She was very communicative, quick to provide feedback and consistently went above and beyond for her client while also ensuring the deal moved through smoothly. I would definitely work with her again.

The Purdy Family

Liz did a fantastic job selling our house in March 2021! I was impressed with her market knowledge, attention to detail and being there for us throughout the whole transaction. We couldn't have been in better hands! Thanks Liz!

Brian N.

Liz did an absolutely amazing job working with us to sell our home! She made the entire process from beginning to end feel seamless and kept us in constant communication the entire time. She guided us through getting our house ready for market by providing home staging and professional photography and was instrumental through negotiations to get us top dollar on the sale. If I could give her more than 5 stars, I would!

Wendy N.

Hannah was a Joy to work with, I would give her more than 5 stars if I could. With obstacles such as Covid, the fires, & updated codes, since we had an older home, she easily guided us through the whole process so that we could get the house of our dreams. It was a complex sale yet, she made us comfortable every step of the way.

The Greene Family

We had the opportunity to have Hannah as our realtor and she was amazing to work with! We are first time home buyers and had many questions about the process of buying a home and she was… always very helpful and quick to answer any of our questions. She went above and beyond to help us find our house and gave us good advice/ many tips and we were able to find our house only after 2 weeks of searching! I would highly suggest her if you’re looking for a home to purchase especially if you are a first time home buyer!

The Knecht and Hernandez Family

Hannah, and the rest of her team, were absolutely fabulous. As a first time home buyer, Hannah helped me from start to finish, from connecting me to my… mortgage advisor, to recommending valuable and trustworthy home inspectors. She was incredibly responsive and eager to answer my many questions, and helped me navigate the home buying process with ease. There is no doubt I will work with Hannah and Ellison Team Homes again in the future.

Andrea R.

Liz is a pleasure to work with, quick and responsive... two traits you don’t always find in a real estate professional. She also has an eye for detail which is important when dealing with contracts. Highly recommend.

Andrea M.

Liz is the best! She’s super knowledgeable, friendly, incredibly responsive and an all round great person This was our second time working with her and I wouldn’t think of using anyone else

The Speirits Family

    Liz was everything you could want in a real estate agent and with a transaction. She was knowledgeable about homes, available, so quick to respond and get into the homes as soon as possible. This is truly her calling! She knows what to look for and how to identify pros and cons whether we were looking at older homes or new construction. She also takes time to listen and get to know what you like and thinks about things such as safety, neighborhood, community and surroundings. She truly partners with you. We had a very difficult buying process from the builder I purchased from. Everything from the way they treated us to lack of communication or receiving anything back. Of the many things Liz can do well, her professionalism is top notch. She will represent you in a good light no matter what was thrown at her! Even when things are clearly stressful. I was so upset so many times and she was persistent with professionalism. That’s not an easy thing to do. I was and am so glad I found Liz! You will really find a gem to work with her!

Emily L.

Hannah will work HARD for her clients. She will drop almost anything to have you see a home you are interested ASAP! She will work late into the night and weekends if she must because she really wants her clients to get what they want. She will fight for whatever you ask, but also tell you what she thinks would be best. She is not intimidated by other agents and will tell it how it is while be totally professional at the same time. 10/10 would recommend. No doubt.

The DeWitz and Hutchinson Family

Liz did an outstanding job marketing and assisting us through the sale of our home. The house was listed on Friday, and was sold by Sunday. If anyone needs a super realtor, please call Liz Balderston!
 

The Crabtree Family

I worked with Liz Balderston and could not have been happier. She knows her area and is very knowledgeable and ethical. As a former real estate appraiser, I highly recommend Liz! She is a pleasure to work with. 

The Pace Family

Donna is incredibly knowledgeable and skilled. She has a great demeanor and connects well with her client and potential buyers and buyers agent. I needed sell on my mom's condo quickly and she managed to close the deal in less than 30 days. I was very happy with the ease of the entire transaction. This is the second property she has helped me sell. I would definitely recommend her. She will go the mile for you!

Erin R. 

Donna was great to work with and made my home buying experience quick and painless! She was always available to answer my questions, and now we coast livin!!!
 

The Herincks and Siders Family

Donna and her team are excellent. We have bought and sold two houses with Team Ellison. Communication was great. We sold quickly and they helped us through the process every step of the way. You couldn’t ask for a better realtor team. 

The McCarthy Family

Donna and her team are the absolute best!! She was so amazing answering all of our questions and helping us navigate the VA Loan and requirements. I mean... she is so great! Also, because we have a crazy schedule, if she was unavailable to show a house asap, one of her team memebers was there! They never missed a beat. THE BEST!


The Snook Family

I had never purchased a home until 2 years ago. I am in my 60s and became tired of unresponsive landlords who consistently drove the price of rent up every year. I needed a realtor who would understand my unique circumstances and concerns about the home buying process. Liz Balderston was just that realtor. She recognized the need to address many areas that most people my age would have seen at least once before. Liz took the time to hear my questions and concerns and assisted in all steps of the process from inspections to securing a loan and so on. I can be a pretty difficult customer. I would often become irritable with situations primarily due to my lack of experience with the process. On a couple of occasions I lashed out at Liz but she quickly calmed me down and kept the process moving along. Liz continually provided excellent assistance to keep me on track. Because she anticipated and assisted with my concerns I am now a happy home owner and I can’t thank Liz enough. To this day, I still feel comfortable giving Liz a call with questions. Because she was patient and compassionate, I’ve been surviving the COVID lock down in a home I love. 

Keith S. 

As a first time home buyer, I could not be happier with my experience working with Hannah Ellison. Navigating the process was so much easier working with an individual who I knew would represent my interests, advocate for me, and answer every question I had along the way. Without her help and knowledge, I would not have found the ideal home within my budget! 

What I appreciate most about Hannah is her ability to advise and teach in an honest and straightforward way. If you are looking to buy a home, I absolutely recommend working with Hannah Ellison. 


Ryan Z. 

Liz is a fantastic agent. We initially met when the pandemic first started and she walked me through all of the pros and cons of trying to move during these crazy times. I decided to take the plunge anyway and Liz helped me find the perfect house to move to. We ended up selling my current house in 4 days. It was a bit bizarre to get in a bidding war but Liz kept reminding me of the big picture (getting a solid buyer to enable my purchase of the new house). I couldn't be happier with her business acumen, her sweet demeanor, and level head. She is not only a great agent but a great friend!

Glenn R. 

Hannah Ellison was absolutely amazing. She made me feel as though I was her only client. Hannah made this experience so easy and found me my perfect home! There was never a question too big or too small that she would not get me a quick and professional answer to and being so extremely pleasant while doing it. Hannah really knows what it takes to be a great realtor because that is exactly what Hannah is!! I would recommend Hannah to any friend or family without hesitation. Currently she is helping my family find a new home as well. 

Julia M. 

Our home buying experience was stressful, unorthodox, and scary, but also the most rewarding experience thanks to Donna. Luckily we had Donna to help guide us through the process and keep our heads from exploding. As first time home buyers with zero understanding of the process, we were always at ease when she explained step by step what we were going through. In the end she was able to make owning a home a reality for our family, and we are forever grateful for her professionalism and her genuine care. There are not enough thanks we can give Donna (and Hannah!). 

The Duran Family

Liz was extraordinarily helpful with the sale of our home. She listened to what was important to us, and helped us with realistic expectations throughout the process. She was encouraging, positive, and a pleasure to work with. 

The Meyer Family

Liz provided exceptional support and care throughout this home-buying process, both on a personal and professional level. We were looking to purchase our first home and relatively new to the area. Liz's extensive knowledge and familiarity of the greater Beaverton area helped us navigate and identify our preferred neighborhoods to focus our search. Her expertise of the home-buying process and transaction made us feel confident and supported every step of the way which is so important when making such a big (first-time) investment! Liz is exceptional when it comes to communication, responding almost immediately to texts and emails and quickly coordinating afternoons of viewings (sometimes within hours) which is so critical in this fast moving market! Personally, this efficiency was super helpful as we were going through this process with a new baby in tow. Her thoughtfulness carried through to closing when she held on to the little guy so we could sign our closing documents and celebrated with us when finally moved. Liz truly is the best of the best!

The Kusek Family

Donna proved to be a skilled Real Estate Agent who went the extra mile to help me sell my condo. I found her to be a true professional who connected with all prospective buyers. Her personable approach and knowledge of the market in the Portland Metro area proved to be an asset to close this condo sale. I would recommend her highly!!!

Erin R. 

DYN-O-MITE! Donna epitomizes the consummate seasoned professional. She is very personable and a great communicator. We had to rely on Donna completely as we had already moved out of state which in itself was daunting enough. I can’t praise her enough. She provided peace of mind for us and restored our confidence after experiencing an extremely poor real estate situation many years ago. We have never worked with Donna before however she sets the bar being a master at her trade as our sale was not an easy one. I very highly recommend her!

The Grant Family

My husband and I were fortunate to meet Donna when we began searching for our new home. Once we met, in person, we knew we would have her assist with selling our current home. Donna was efficient in helping us get our existing home on the market, providing valuable information around which home repairs to focus on. Simultaneously, she was helping us purchase the perfect home for our next stage of life. She made the process easy and comfortable for both transactions. We greatly appreciate Donna’s experience and passion, she is a true professional. 

Brian & Cindy J. 

Donna gave her all to help us find our house. She is by far the best realtor I have known or had the pleasure of meeting. If you need an honest, reliable, and intelligent realtor, Donna is your best bet.

Sam G.

Liz was extremely knowledgeable and helpful throughout the entire process. We are first time homebuyers, and she made the process super easy. She’s very responsive, personable, and made herself readily available whenever we needed her.

Tyler C. 

Donna is very personable and knowledgeable about what she does. She showed us very relevant homes that met our criteria in areas we wanted to see. She was quick to respond to inquiries and made herself available when we needed questions answered. I would recommend her to future clients in a heartbeat!

The Marcoulier Family

Contact Donna if you want a smart, energetic, and fun professional who listens deeply and works hard to exceed your goals.  
            She takes her own approach, and makes it work. Traditional approaches are fine, but backed by extensive research she is creative and successful. And, most impressive? She is honest,direct and sincere.

The Merritt Family

"Working with Liz for the sale of my home was one of the best decisions I could have made. Liz worked closely with me to create a fantastic listing. She worked tirelessly with several open houses and viewings. Liz and Donna were invaluable during the escrow process. They gave me frequent updates and were always available for questions. I would not have made it through a very stressful closing process. Their expertise and guidance during closing was instrumental in the sale of my home. If you are buying/selling or even thinking about home ownership I encourage you to work with Ellison Team Homes. I cannot recommend them highly enough."

Jacob S.

Donna understood that I had a very bad experience with the realtor I used to sell my house and took special care of my needs through the process of finding my new home. Donna explained the process every step of the way, found me my new home and I closed in less than three weeks. Donna restored my confidence and the value in using a Realtor! I would highly recommend choosing Donna to find your next home; she is honest, reliable, knowledgeable and a happy, friendly person.

Kitshoban

Donna was great. Always available to answer questions as they came up. She was very helpful in dealing with the mortgage company, VA, and other realtor. The house was a short sale and Donna kept us updated as soon as she knew something new. She also kept us grounded and our expectations within our budget.

The Floyd Family

Donna was a pro through the entire process. She made herself available multiple times through the home buying process; basically whenever I called or emailed. She was extremely responsive and knowledgable about all aspects.
Donna's team of experts helped through the inspection and closing process and made everything as smooth as possible.
I'd highly recommend Donna, and will work with her again if I'm ever in the market for a new or additional home.

The Meyer Family

We worked with Ellison Team Homes when looking for our first house. We had never been through the process before, but Donna and her team walked us through every step of the way with incredible care and detail. Donna is an amazing realtor, she loves what she does and it shows in ever encounter you have with her. She cared for us as a couple and wanted us to find the perfect home that would fit our needs. The search was NOT easy. It took us nearly two years due to many factors, but Donna and her team were so patient and understanding. She never rushed us, never made us feel like we needed to jump into anything because we were taking too long. If anything, she encouraged us to continue looking until we found a home we loved.

Her patience and persistence meant the world to us. This was a huge decision and she understood that. When we did want to look at a property, she was easily accessible and quick to get us in. Donna and her team work SO HARD for their clients. She would always come prepared with everything about the home, telling us the good aspects AND the bad, which helped us make educated decisions.
When we wanted to place an offer she completed it quickly and efficiently. We knew that we could rely on her no matter what. When one of our offers didn't even get recognized, she went to bat for us, which made us feel valued and loved by her.
We feel we are a part of her family and she treats you as such. I will always have this Team as my realtor and look forward to any future transactions we make together.

Ellison Team Homes is reliable, caring, efficient, incredibly hard working, trustworthy, and honest. I couldn't ask for anything more.

Greg A.

Donna is first rate. I was on a time crunch and not looking for someone who treated me like I should be so lucky to work with them, wasted my time, or tried to show me homes that didn't fit my needs or my budget. She was not the first real estate agent I spoke to, but I chose to work with her because I felt safe with her. Donna dialed into my situation right away and made the process as enjoyable as it could be (buying a home is STRESSFUL) even as we drove through rain, sleet and snow to look at homes together. When we finally made an offer (which she negotiated like a champ) and I had a total meltdown through the inspection/repair addendum process, she talked me through it and gave me clear options. I ended up in that home and I love it so much. It's everything I could want or need in my budget and she really understood that -- she really understood me.

Work with Donna for honest, efficient, quality service that is focused on your future and not her bottom line or ego.

Beth W.

“We worked with Donna Ellison on selling our house in Beaverton and the purchase of our home across town in Clackamas. The service we received was extraordinary. Donna’s market evaluation was spot on and realistic. The brochures, flyers and internet listings produced were magazine like with both high quality photos and presentation. We were promptly informed of progress and feedback on showings. Donna works with a network of exceptional professionals who handled our sell and purchase progressions efficiently. We really valued Donna’s help, persistence and professionalism during the twisty paths of selling and buying a home.”

Jim B.

I had no idea how the process would work or what needed to happen. Thankfully I got really lucky and wound up with Donna Ellison as my realtor. I was able to tell her exactly what we were looking for and she showed us the kind of houses that we wanted to see. Her intuition about what her clients want was clear from the get-go. The best part about having Donna as our realtor is that she has amazing connections, and she works for you. Being a first time home buyer, I needed plenty of guidance and to be honest, I tend to have a hard time trusting people. Donna however, earned my trust really quick because she told me what I needed to do to get in the house we wanted. Her connections that she referred us to were amazing and I knew that she would stand by anything that she did. I felt that she really cared about our home buying experience and wanted to make sure that everything was going to be as perfect as it could be for us, and it was!

Daniel L.

Donna and her team have been the biggest blessing throughout the hectic process of selling and buying a home! They are on top of even the smallest details and work hard and fast on both the selling and buying side. They marketed my home, got buyers in and we’re immediately responsive whenever I had any questions. I am thankful for their support and would recommend Donna in a heartbeat to anyone I care about.

The Wager Family

Working with Donna was a great experience. She not only is knowledgeable about what the market is doing, but she is thorough on all aspects of selling, and buying a house. I was really impressed with her quick response when properties came on the market that I might be interested in looking at to buy. Her entire team is friendly, easy to work with, and went above and beyond to help me get our property ready to show. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Sue S.

Donna is like a real estate angel. Or maybe a real estate superhero. There's no way to fully explain how grateful we are to have found her. It all started in May when a pretty little house down the street caught our eye. As first time home buyers, we had a lot of daunting advice coming at us from every side. Would we have good enough credit? Did we earn enough? What could we afford? Is the best we could get a tiny, rodent-infested hovel on the bad side of the tracks??? The questions were swirling around and around in our heads, pulling us down into a dark current of anxiety. And then we called Donna, who quickly earned our trust. We could reach her almost 24/7 (except for when she was asleep, of course!), and she answered our questions in a way that was very easy to understand. Donna is an expert realtor. She is a real person who treated us like real people. Throughout the process, we never felt worried or scared because Donna is more than a realtor: she is a fierce, badass guardian! 100% of the time, we knew we could rely on her. When we wanted to view dozens of houses (some more than once), Donna made it happen. When we needed quick answers, Donna was there. Even despite some personal matters going on in her life, Donna never missed a beat. She became our friend in the process, and it was a delight to see her so much. Even when we were at our worst, Donna was at her best. It is very rare to do business with someone who was destined for their line of work, and we hit the jackpot with Donna. She's a one-in-a-million realtor, woman, and friend! [She is humble, but we refuse to dial this review back even a notch: Stop shopping for a realtor. Donna is your warrior of realty!]

Celeste D.

Donna's love for helping people find their dream home is evident in even the smallest detail. From the prompt replies to our questions, her thorough knowledge of the area, her attention to detail in the houses we were looking at, right down to her upbeat attitude, She made buying our dream home, a stress free journey for us. Donna and the Ellison team were awesome to have by our side.

Ski K.

I have know Donna for almost 18 years. When it was time to really start looking for our dream property I knew she was the only one to go to. There were a few things that I knew were the reasons. 1. I knew that Donna would be patient with us as we had specific things we were looking for and that we didn't want to compromise on those details. 2. I knew that she would understand our smaller budget. We wanted to find some property but didn't have a million dollars to spend. I knew that she would not laugh at our budget range and would still look at us as important. 3. We knew this would not be a fast transaction as property is hard to get here in our area. She was very willing to take on the task of being an almost 2 year adventure. 4. Donna knows this area and was willing to help us look at both at our specifications and even things just outside our area. 5. She is familiar with the Beaverton area and purchasing property. Which is super helpful as not all agents are familiar with property. 6. She gave us her advice but was NOT forceful with it. She allowed us to take her information and make a decision based on how we felt. I am a big "go with my gut" person and she allowed us to follow some of that. 7. She SOLD our house in 3 days for us for full price and was great with communication when the buyers agent wasn't as quick to respond. 8. I would hire her again any day to sell and buy another place.

The Hunt Family

Donna was very professional and relatable from the first time we met until the end. She is very timely in her word and has great follow through! You could tell she knows the business and area she serves very well as gave us both the Positives and negative in a straight forward way which I highly appreciated. She handled the negotiations expertly and made the process of finding a home as quick and painless as it could be! Will certainly use her again and recommend her!!

The Limon Family

I love this team of ladies. They worked very hard for us as well as helped us with getting our home prepped for sale. I adore them all and feel beyond blessed to have worked with them.

User30788015

Donna was amazing to work with. My wife and I clicked on contact a realtor and she immediately called us. She did a great job finding properties and walking us through the process. She made us feel like her only clients and was always amiable. 

We highly recommend her. There is a reason why her reviews are so good!! 

user5489288

We selected Donna Ellison after interviewing several realtors, all of whom had been recommended my neighbors. We were impressed with her positive attitude and realistic assessment of the market for our house. She recommended a pricing strategy which worked out for us to achieve maximum value for our house, while leaving the buyers satisfied. When we disagreed about marketing strategy for the house, Donna went along with our ideas as we requested. We appreciated her flexibility. The house sold in less than a month.

I have not only worked with Mrs. Ellison personally, but as an attorney, have had the occasion to use her services with my clients as they are transitioning in their lives. It is amazing how she connects with each of them individually and works seamlessly with me in my efforts to achieve their goals. Thank you so much Donna.

I was getting more nervous about finding a home in Portland as we were having trouble even getting agents to return our calls and emails when my realtor in San Jose helped us find Donna. From the very beginning, she wanted to know what we were looking for and really gave us the confidence that we would be able to quickly get into a home in our price-range and with the major points of our must-have list satisfied. Not only did she help us quickly find our dream home, she was wonderful in helping us with the offer, negotiations, managing the home inspection and re-inspection while we were still in California and coordinating with the escrow officer and mortgage broker to make sure we closed and were able to get the keys as soon as we got to Portland.

Through all of the ups and downs, Donna was always in our corner and working to make our dreams a reality. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.

I have spent over 15 years in the mortgage business. Donna is one of the most professional real estate agents I know. She cares about making sure that each customer is getting what they deserve from their agent and meeting their needs by LISTENING to what the customer really wants. I would recommend Donna to any friend or family without hesitation. Currently she is helping my family find a new home as well.

I tend to be a pretty hyper-critical reviewer, so it's very rare, and a great pleasure, to say that I have absolutely NO complaints whatsoever about Donna! She guided us through some moderately ticklish negotiations to get us the house we wanted for the price we wanted to pay. If you're thinking of buying a home anywhere in her Service Area, you'd be rather foolish to not give her a call...
              Thanks Donna, you're AWESOME!

I've known Donna for years and have yet to see her do anything that's less than excellent. Her diligence, loyalty and commitment are things I value in her. Anyone who works with her is fortunate to have her skills and dedication.

Donna has been a delight to work with. She is professional but also personable. She really cares about her clients and you know you can trust she has your best interest in mind. She was on top of listings that we would be interested in and was quick to show us the property. We had a great first time home buying experience with Donna and I highly recommend her as someone who will make this experience a good one.

Donna is a professional and one of the most ethical and honest people I have ever worked with. Selling my house was a very personal, emotional, and unexpected experience. Donna was not only able to be the professional that she is, but she was also able to help keep me grounded during this emotional time. 
            The sale of our house was quick and we were finished with the whole process from beginning to end with in 60 days.

In our local area homes continue to fly off the market. This creates a very, very frustrating experience however Donna continued to be patient and helpful when finding our home.

What was wonderful about the experience, my wife wanted to see a family home. One we could really live in. Where I wanted an investment home with a large enough growth to achieve profit.

Donna helped us find that ideal home. Just when we thought we wouldn't get it because someone offered more then us on our home, her negotiating prowess appeared. She managed to not only get our offer accepted but to get our closing covered.

This agent is the best agent I've worked with in our area. I've worked with around three or four, hands down would recommend her.

Donna is wonderful from start to finish! She quickly and easily grasped what I was looking for and with her knowledge of the area and expertise, showed me things I might not otherwise would have considered but which perfectly fit my needs. Donna then was impressive and an excellent agent through the offer and inspection phases; I was really happy she was on my side through it all. I would recommend Donna Ellison to anyone.

Donna was absolutely fabulous! Thanks to her we never had to wonder where we were in the process of buying the home, didn't have to worry about the inspection, or touching base with the seller, or our financial adviser, etc. She took care of every little detail, and most importantly kept us informed through the entire process. Our home buying, the very first for me, was a smooth sailing experience, with our transaction closing in record time. THANK YOU DONNA! :)

We met Donna as a sellers agent while we were hunting for a house. We were impressed by her skills, knowledge and her attitude. We are really happy to have her as our buyers agent now.

Donna is wonderful! I had a very limited amount of time to get through the paperwork, take photos and get my place on the market. She met with me and 2 days later I had an offer. She's incredibly professional, knows her market and will always try to get the best for you. She gave me concise information so I was completely informed. I would recommend Donna to everyone.
