Donna has spent 26 years in the Real Estate Industry and during that time has seen the market in our local area flourish. "The surrounding areas of Blockhouse Bay, Lynfield and Hillsborough have long been attractive locations for prospective buyers," she says, "I've always worked within the area and enjoy the opportunity to promote all the benefits that it has to offer its residents." 12 years ago Donna teamed up with Angela Scarfe, who is very proud of her real estate career spanning more than 40 years. Together they have forged a very successful path and team, now known more commonly as “The Real Estate Girls”. The plan is to continue to strive for excellence in service & client care. Prior to taking up Real Estate, Donna worked as an Office Manager and Personal Assistant in London and Western Australia. She also spent several years as a Data Entry Supervisor in government departments in Western Australia. "Real Estate was always something I'd wanted to do, and I've certainly never regretted the career change," she says. "My job allows me to meet new and interesting people each day and share with them the joy in realizing their dreams." Donna returned to Blockhouse Bay 27 years ago after spending 11 years overseas. As a mother of two adult children who were brought up in the area and attended the local schools, she values the community spirit and relaxed atmosphere of the area. "It's a very family-orientated place with a number of excellent schools on offer. Centrally located and easily accessible to all areas of Auckland, Blockhouse Bay, Lynfield and Hillsborough are proving very desirable places to live." When not working hard for her clients, Donna enjoys spending her free time with husband Chris, Jaimi, Nick and their partners and now two grandchildren.
