This was the first time Donna sold a home for us and the second time we personally worked with Donna to purchase a home. Donna initially met with us and went over a game plan for getting our current home ready for sale (she explained what we should do, how to declutter, and what to mentally prepare for to happen once the ball started rolling). There were no surprises with what the timeline of events would be and that made the process easier, especially with two small kids! Once our house was ready, we met and discussed a sale price that we all felt was accurate based on what we were looking for and compared with Donna's knowledge and research of the comparables. We listed our home and had an open house and within four days had seven offers over asking for our home and we were under contract within a week.

We listed our home and had an open house and within four days had seven offers over asking for our home and we were under contract within a week. On the flip side, Donna found us our forever home in a matter of days after going under contract. She was there for us through every step and knew how to answer all our questions while calming my anxiety! I recommend Donna frequently to friends and family as she was a joy to work with and made both processes that much easier for us as a family!
My family will forever be grateful to Donna Keena for helping us in the process of purchasing our first home. We have been looking for a home for 7 months in a different town and have met different agents. We decided to expand our search to the city of Nutley, this proved to be the best decision of the entire journey because of Donna. She is professional, knows everything about the city, very helpful and above all she is be honest yes this is why I put that in the upper case, She has so much experience in the business and she surrounded herself with a reliable team of professionals. She made the process of our home buying a memorable one and my wife and I are thankful to her.
As a first-time home seller (and dreading the whole process), I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly the sale was made. Donna was very professional and took care of all the details in a very efficient way, answering any questions that I had about the process. Her knowledge of market pricing served me well. Offering to help on issues with the township and helping to keep the original closing date attainable (which it was). I know she helped the first-time buyers with all that they had to do also, but I'll leave that for their review. All in all, she made the experience as easy as I could have hoped for. I would definitely use her services in the future if need be.
My husband and I are retired real estate professionals, and Donna Keena blew us away with her skills. There is no doubt that her clients are her top priority. She handled every detail of a long-distance transaction from start to finish, got our property ready for the competition, and sold in record time, in the middle of winter! Donna is a pleasure to work with, and she never makes you feel as if you are imposing on her time. She knows the inventory, and the market, and takes her responsibilities as seriously as I have ever seen. Now that our home is sold, we are going to miss having Donna as part of our family.
