Steve And Sandy Notley, a buyer from Melbourne, FL
Donna worked tirelessly to close the transaction. She kept us informed at every crossroad even though we were the buyers (she represented the sellers) and made phone calls and sourced vendors to ensure that repairs were being scheduled and completed quickly and efficiently to enable a quick closing. We cannot say enough good things about her professionalism, knowledge and hard work. She was generous with her advice and guidance; I wonder if we might have hesitated to pursue the purchase without the confidence she projected that everything would be handled. She was relentless with her follow through, constantly updating us as to what was needed and what the timeline would be.
She was easy to communicate with and accommodated our many requests and busy schedules. Through the final walkthrough, it was clear that she was involved in every step. Again, she did not represent us but we received a full service experience. We were impressed and would give our highest recommendation without hesitation. Thank you Donna!

Donna is at the top of her game all of the time. She knows the market inside and out. Always learning and adapting with an ever-changing industry. When she is in your corner you know your home will get the best representation possible! She will be with you for every step. From the time you reach out to her until the final line is signed and dated on the contract she is never more than a call or text away. When youre getting stressed over the process, she is there with her wisdom and experience or sometimes just words of comfort and encouragement. Donna isnt just a realtor, she becomes a trusted friend. We have bought 2 homes and sold two homes with her at our side. I would (and do) recommend her to anyone in need of a realtor in any capacity. Whether selling or buying, the Donna experience is the only way to go!!

Stephanie R., a seller from Rockledge, FL
Donna was my realtor 5 years ago when I first bought my condo, so when it was time to sell it I knew I wanted to go back to her! Buying and selling is so stressful, but Donna is calm, organized, professional, and experienced. She took so much weight off of my shoulders throughout the process. Shes a wonderful person and demonstrates so much integrity in the work she does. She goes out of her way to ensure a smooth transaction, and thats exactly what we had. Shes my realtor for life!

Donna and her team were fabulous with helping me find and buy my first home! They were supportive every step of the way, and helped answer any questions I had and walked me through the entire process. Donna was also sweet and understanding with my fears or anxiety, and I cannot recommend her and her team enough. I felt supported, informed, and encouraged every step of the way. I would absolutely recommend her and her team to anyone in search of buying or selling a home! :D

Teresa Dattolo, a seller from Cocoa, FL
Donna and her team were professional and extremely courteous

Scott & Christina, a buyer from Titusville, FL
We worked with Donna by having her set up a filtered list of homes to send us daily. By the time I was able to get back to Florida I had a list of potential homes. Donna vetted the list, planned out a visit route and off we went.

She was excellent at pointing out things I needed to understand about homes in Florida versus Ohio. There were a couple of places that we entered, I said we didn't need to continue, and we left. The places I really liked she pointed out pros and cons to help me understand what to pay attention to.

Given the complexity of coordination, education needed as new Florida buyers, and lack of local knowledge we could not have had a better partner than Donna. I hope to never have to move again, but if I do and it is local, I will absolutely work with Donna again.

Donna M. Walker, a seller from Boynton Beach, FL

TJ And Lindsey Wright, a seller from Viera West, FL
We have used Donna Tidwell for our real estate transactions on 3 occasions over the past 10 years. Each time she has been helpful to guide us according to our needs (a good advisor and a good listener). She is an excellent communicator and is timely in all responses.
Donna is truly a professional and delightful to work with.

Missy And Mike, a buyer from Titusville, FL
Donna was our eyes, ears, and nose as we searched for a home from out of state. She found the perfect home for us and walked us through every aspect of home buying. No detail was lost - Donna took care of everything. We were so happy when we were finally able to tour the house in person, and it was just as perfect as she promised. I thought buying a home would be stressful, particularly sight unseen, but Donna made everything easy. Id definitely recommend her to anyone looking to buy a house.

Anne Petersen, a buyer from Viera East, FL
Donna was efficient, organized, professional yet caring. She made purchasing this real estate
Go smoothly at a time when the market is absolutely crazy.

Ike Kahn, a buyer from Sharpes, FL
Professional service all through the process.

Donna Tidwell, a seller from Titusville, FL
I have helped many homeowners sell their homes. Going through the process as a seller myself (rather than the Realtor) is an excellent way to check my Team processing for transaction closings. Great news is; they are extremely informative, keeping everyone (in the transaction) up-to-date with the progress of the sale. This was an extremely smooth transaction. Go Team!!!

John & Rebecca, a buyer from Melbourne, FL
Donna was a delight to work with. She truly went above and beyond to help us find a home. She connected us with people who can help us around our new home. She also helped us through the closing process. I would highly recommend you use her services if you are buying a home.

We had some specific requirements for our new home. Donna stayed with us through about 30 homes and 4 contracts until we found the right one. Every day, it was here is the list of viewings for today and off we went.

David Andersen, a buyer from Cocoa, FL
Donna was awesome to work with! Straight shooter. Got me a great deal on exactly what I was looking for. I highly, highly recommend her!

Maurice And Tracye, a buyer from Fort Myers, FL
When first meeting Donna, I explained I wanted to aggressively sell my home. Through the discussion, Donna was open in items I needed to do to facilitate this, combined with items she could address on her end to assist. After we established ownership and next steps, she mobilized her team with the expectation that my house would be under contract within 3 days or less. Needless to say, it was under contract within the first day. She set stretch goals, clearly communicated her expectations and manged the process through every milestone. For those who like precision in execution, you will greatly value Donna's approach.

Amanda Estep, a buyer from Port St. John, FL
She made my first time home buying experience the best it could have been.
Kept me updated throughout the entire process and was knowledgeable.
I love my new home and would highly recommend her.

Jenny Moore, a buyer from Melbourne, FL
Buying a home is stressful. Selling a home is stressful. Buying and selling at the exact same time is insanely stressful!! Im so grateful that we had Donna at our side every step of this process! We first met her when we were searching for our starter home. We desperately wanted to get away from apartment living but werent in a position to get everything we wanted in a forever home. She helped us keep our expectations in check and our eyes on the bigger picture. With her help we got a great starter home and lived there happily for 2 years while we built our resources for getting a home we truly wanted to stay in. When the time was right we, of course, we contacted Donna. We couldnt start looking until the first house was under contract. With her help and guidance, our previous home was under contract in less than 72 hrs! Then came the search for a new home. She listened to what we said and paid attention to what we didnt say. She was able to hone in on just what we were looking for in a new home. We had a small window of time to find what we were looking for because the sale of our then home was moving forward. After a few attempts without finding anything she arranged a whole day of seeing houses. The last house of the day turned out to be THE house. She helped us negotiate and got us under contract but that wasnt the end of her part. She was just a text away for my daily question or concerns as we went through the loan process and inspections and such. She wasnt just our realtor she was a friend to lean on during a time of constant uncertainty! Donna goes above and beyond the job description for her clients. She truly cares. And not only that, she knows her job! Her attention to detail is incredible! She notices things in a house that we would never see. Saving you from wasting time on a house with issues. I cant recommend her highly enough!!
