“Donna has deep and extensive experience. She is direct and honest about any issues, she does not dance around what she thinks. She will tell you the way it is. Additionally she is able to leverage her experience to recommend numerous different skilled trades to expeditiously execute needed improvements that move the deal along. She is not pushy, she is pragmatic. If you obviously need more time she perceives this right away. Going through the process with Donna was a pleasure and that says a lot since the overall process of listing, selling and moving out of a house is by nature stressful. I recommend Donna without reservation.”

Sometimes just hearing an experienced voice like Donna’s can help you make the first step with confidence. I would highly recommend Donna if you are looking for your dream home. She will take good care of you! Thank you Donna!

“”My husband and I purchased our first ever home almost two years ago, and Donna was the purchasing agent for the sellers. We found her so responsive, so respectful, and so helpful during our interaction, that recently when we made a tough decision to buy a new home with an in-law apartment, we reached back out to Donna to sell our home (again!). Every interaction with Donna was purposeful and helpful, and she was never afraid to answer our questions about buying OR selling. Often times we felt more comfortable reaching out to her than our other resources, and she made our home sale the easiest part of our buying/selling/moving ordeal. She handled all negotiations flawlessly, in our best interest, and kept us informed constantly of what was happening. We highly recommend Donna for anyone looking for a knowledgeable, professional, trustworthy, and straightforward real estate agent. Thank you Donna!!” –

“Donna was fantastic to work with. She was thorough when we were looking at houses and gathered the appropriate information we would need to know about each house. She was always timely in responses and available to discuss homes. When it was time to make an offer she was communicative with the sellers agent and worked together to ultimately get us into our new home. One a small issue arose Donna was quick to get the answers and solution! I would recommend Donna to anyone looking to purchase in New Hampshire.”

My wife approached me in the summer of 2019 about selling our home.  Our kids were grown and married, and truthfully we no longer needed a three bedroom home.  She contacted Remax on the move, in Exeter, and made arrangements for an agent to come see our home and give us a market analysis. That’s when we met Donna Frederick.

She was impressed with our home.  It was built 177 years ago, and showed signs of being well cared for.  She was honest, she said it would be difficult to do a market analysis for a house of this age.  She also say old homes are a “niche” market.  You have to find the right buyer.  She then gave us a list of “have to”, and “should “ do.  We had to take care of some painting, and remove personal items, etc. to make it a house with a blank canvas.  She was all business.

We told her to give us a month and we would be ready.  We listed just before Labor Day, and after a couple of open houses, had a qualified offer.  She found the “niche buyer “.  Good news/bad news; we sold the house but now we’re homeless.  We had been looking for a new home, but just had not found that perfect fit.

We used Donna to sell our home, and we’re going to use her to find our new one.  She soon learned I was “picky”, and could find bad things in a pot of gold.  She didn’t get discouraged or give up.  We looked at many homes, and after the showings would ask” ok, what’s wrong with this one?”  With Donna’s help we finally found our new home, and we love it.

Donna’s professionalism, and hard work, made selling and buying another inside of three months- easy.  She claims “she has no filter “ and will tell you the truth.  Truth is she’s very good at what she does.  We would definitely recommend her to anybody; and would use her again.

” We wanted to take a moment to thank you for everything involving the purchase of our new home. We feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to put an offer in before it went on the market. It is a beautiful home, property, and town. You would be amazed at how much walking we have clocked since we arrived.  Hard to believe that it has been almost two weeks since we closed.

You have been great to work with and though a lot of work to make this all happen, we are grateful that it went so smoothly. One of the smoothest real estate transactions that we’ve ever experienced. Also, thank you for referring us Tom (Kressler of Fairway Mortgage). He was great to work with as well. We would highly recommend you both to anyone looking for real estate.”

“Donna was wonderful as an agent. She has great knowledge of New Hampshire and a willingness to adjust to changing mindsets on properties I may have thought I wanted but ultimately given second thoughts decided they were not for me. Eventually we found that perfect property that I was looking for and Donna made the process of sale to closing very quick and easy. I would recommended her to anyone I know as she is a great realty agent.”

~ JD ~

 

“Donna was very helpful to me when I was getting ready to put my house on the market.  She got the ball rolling by offering good suggestions and providing me with a list of contractors.  I was a long-distance seller and Donna filled in whenever and wherever she was needed.  She was always available to answer my questions and address my concerns.  She was knowledgeable, professional and courteous throughout the entire process.  Donna’s personality is very engaging and she brings humor, energy and enthusiasm to all aspects of her job.  I highly recommend her.”

~ Carole Cherry ~

 

Donna listened to our priorities in our house search and despite her busy schedule, she was very quick to respond to any texts emails or calls. She was very helpful to point out pros and cons when walking through showings. Donna gave good advise when it was time to make an offer and did all the  prep work in preparing for closing. She expertly walked us through any paper work and / or signing required brfore our closing date. At closing, all our ducks were in a row and it was clean and simple. Donna is very personable and professional. I would use her again, and highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell.”

“If I have learned anything after buying and selling four homes, it is NEVER underestimate the power of a good realtor. Buying and selling real estate is an emotional roller coaster, so having someone on your side to help navigate the ups and downs is essential. We have gone through this process  twice now with Donna, and I would not use any other realtor. Donna is competent and knowledgeable about the real estate market, but even more than that, she works hard for you. There were times when I wondered if she even slept! For many realtors, it is strictly about the commission, but with Donna she works so hard because she wants her client to be happy. That is what drives her. And if she gets thrown a curveball along the way, she deals with it with a great combination of tenacity and grace. If you are looking for a realtor that delivers results through hard work, open communication, professionalism, and a little bit of humor–Donna is the only choice.

~ Greg & Erin ~

 

“My wife and I have been working with Donna during the the purchase and/or sale of several of our homes over the last ten years . I can’t think of any thing even small where Donna has not given us her full attention and best effort. She always looks out for our best interests. I don’t plan to move  from this one but if I do, you know who I am going to call…..”

“I accepted a position out of the country.  In fact, I had already moved, which left my wife to handle the details regarding the sale of the house. We met with Donna and before she left our home we knew she was a perfect fit for us. She stepped up and took care of all the details regarding the sale of the house and made a very stressful situation much easier. She is an absolute pleasure to work with.”

~ Randy and Cherri Rickabaugh ~

 

“When my husband and I began looking for our first home, we both felt it was important to find a realtor who was honest, straight-forward, and made finding us the “right home” her number one priority.  Donna greatly exceeded these expectations.  She skillfully guided us through the process of building a home – something I initially found terrifying – and helped us make the right decisions to make our dream home a reality.  I recommend her so highly that she even helped my sister buy her first home only months later!”

~ Jesseka ~

 

“Donna helped guide our family through a relocation from Michigan to New Hampshire.  She was extremely patient and knowledgeable through the process.  She listened to our input and was committed to finding us a home that met our criteria.  Donna was there during every step of the process… and always with a smile!  She is truly the best at what she does.”

~ Jim and Kelly Malatesta ~

 

“Working with Donna was a dream and we consider ourselves lucky to have had such a competent, fun and professional person working with us. As a couple, my husband and I had different priorities and search styles while looking for a house, making the process very challenging. We ended up with a house that fits both our ‘must haves’ and we couldn’t be happier.”

~ Jill Peloquin ~

 

“We are delighted to recommend Donna Frederick, of Verani Realty to anyone, without reservation. She represented us both as a seller’s and buyer’s agent and in both instances, we could not have asked for a more honest, committed, and pro-active professional agent. It was truly a pleasure to work with Donna.”

~ Mark and Jenny Wilson ~

 

“I highly recommend Donna Frederick; she sold my condo in Exeter. She knows the business and is a true partner in facilitating the sale.  In a professional manner, she pays attention to all those details which can make selling a home a sticky operation.  Her assistance in this regard was greatly appreciated.  She is respectful to all parties involved and she knows how to complete a sale without compromising her integrity.”      

 ~ Pam ~

 

“My husband and I highly recommend Donna to sell your home.  Donna is a talented agent who listens, advises, and is always one step ahead of the game.  She was continuously in touch with us concerning updates and comments from potential buyers.  Donna is accessible and straight forward.  She sold our home in three weeks!  We enjoyed our time with Donna, she helped dissipate the stress associated with selling a home.”

“When I was looking to relocate from Alabama to New Hampshire, out of sheer luck I found Donna through her website. After just a couple of emails, I knew I had found the right person. When I relocated to my new job, I still didn’t have a house, but Donna helped me find something within my budget. Through an arduous mortgage process, she was constantly in touch with me to keep me informed of what was needed and what was happening, and, towards the end, when each day seemed to throw another wrench in the process, she was right there, taking care of things that I didn’t even know about until after she had cleared the hurdle. In the end, we are in a house that is perfect for us, one that I feel I can and probably will spend the rest of my life in. Donna worked with me from March to August, and for a lot of that time we were not even sure what I wanted to happen was possible or would happen, but she kept on with me. Even weeks after the sale, I called her to ask for something, and again, it was taken care of before I heard back from her the very next day. I have told her many times that I am so lucky and so glad to have found her, and that has only gotten truer with time.  Thank you, Donna!                                       ~  David  ~

 

“My wife and I found Donna by chance while in search of our next home.  While that journey wasn’t made in urgency Donna still worked diligently for a longggg time finding our place.  She is the consummate professional that gave us the feeling that we were her only client.  She listens to what is said but also hears what isn’t.   Absolutely do I recommend Donna as your agent, she’ll become part of your family too as she did ours.”

~ Craig and Danielle Borin ~

 

“When our family relocated to the area from Colorado due to a career change we were not fully aware of, or prepared for, the unique opportunities and challenges that went with the move.  The transition was truly an adventure, and at times a little more than that.  Donna was very helpful, understanding and patient in helping us find the right home.  She really took the time to work with us on understanding the area.  She has also been a great resource helping us settle into the community long after moved in.” 

~ Bill and Christy Leibbrandt ~

 

 “Without hesitation, we highly recommend Donna Frederick as your Realtor.  My husband and I searched for our dream home for four years.  Within 2 months of meeting Donna, she helped us locate, negotiate and close on exactly what we’d been dreaming of.  Donna is a very patient listener, a calm negotiator and has an uncanny ability to find exactly what you’re looking for.  She was available day or night to answer our questions, her knowledge and guidance was invaluable, and her esteem within the community was evident with every contact we made.  Please accept our sincerest thanks; we couldn’t have done it without you!”       

~ Robin & Nick Wrighton ~

 

“My husband and I truly enjoyed our experience with Donna. She was patient in the months leading up to the purchase of our home as we scoured the internet looking at listings before actually setting foot in any houses.  Donna also provided great information and really seemed to understand what we were looking for, which led to us finding the perfect home!” 

~ Megan ~

 

“My wife and I were referred to Donna by friends of ours that raved about her incessantly.  As it turned out their praise was not misplaced.  Donna was solely responsible for the success of our real estate transactions. Through all the worst problems that two real estate transactions could generate, Donna remained focused and diligent.  She even helped us resolve issues with our selling agent in another state.  My wife and I can, and do, recommend Donna without reservation.  Take our advice and hire a pro, Donna Frederick.”                                                                                                                                                      

~ Joe & Marie Wormhood ~

 

“Donna, Steph and I want to send a great big thank you for spending the time and energy on helping us find our first house. The journey was very fun, frustrating and interesting all in one. We believe that the search for our house would not have been a great experience if you weren’t along to help guide us. We sure did learn a lot and we have you to thank. We hope that you do stay in touch. Thanks again for all your help.”

~ Steph and Jason ~

 

“Donna just happened to be covering the Exeter Realty office when I walked in and shared my dream of selling our home of 23 years to upgrade to a house that would give us a new lifestyle. It turned out to be the luck of the draw for our family. Donna led us through the process with a professional manner, knowledgeable guidance, patience, and a great sense of humor when we needed it. She was always available day or night and very responsive to our questions and concerns. We have had the pleasure of sitting in her conference room three times for closings – one to buy, one to sell, and finally to see our daughter buy her first condo. Pretty impressive in today’s housing market. Thank you Donna!”

 ~ Rich & Bev Bowles ~

 

“Donna was a consummate professional in our dealings with her. She was extremely responsive to our myriad and sometimes nonsensical requests in addition to always respecting our decisions during the buying process. We would unfailingly recommend her to others in the Seacoast area.”

 ~ Kevin ~

 

“Donna Frederick was all that we could hope for and more in a Realtor. As home buyers relocating from outside of New Hampshire/New England, we had very little local area real estate knowledge, but Donna’s insights and experience more than made up for that.  Her expertise guided us through the initial home search on-line, the putting together of a home visit itinerary, and the actual visits to over twenty homes in three days (yikes!).  Donna also provided an illuminating and/or practical viewpoint whenever we became stuck at a decision-making crossroads (so many homes to choose from in this buyer’s market!), and expert guidance on the offer process and negotiations.  She steered issues to a satisfactory conclusion as they popped up and was truly ‘there for us’ thru the closing and beyond. We surely benefited from working with such an outstanding Realtor, and the end result was us purchasing a dream home we would have only imagined until now!”

~Tom and Lindi Messina ~  

 

“Donna Frederick is a professional, honest and dedicated Realtor. She was very patient with us during our many appointments to view different homes and helped us finally find our dream home. Donna was a true pleasure to work with!

~ Sarah & Jim Dinneen ~

 

“Thank you so much for all of your help & all of your hard work through everything! We beyond appreciate what you did for us. You made everything go so smoothly! You were awesome to work with and you better be around for our next purchase!!”

 ~ Jenn & Crit Wilson ~

 

“Due to the downturn in the real estate market it took us two years to sell our condo and Donna Frederick was there for us every step of the way. She never gave up hope and did everything she could to make our unit stand out from the others.  When our place finally sold she quickly compiled a list of homes that fit our needs and within days we were under contract.  From our first introduction to the final closing Donna was always professional, honest, and could be reached at any time to answer our many questions. We highly recommend Donna to anyone interested in buying or selling a home. She found our dream home let her find yours.”

~ Ian and Erica Gibb ~

~ Soon to be Mr. & Ms. Anderson ~

 

“Donna was so helpful in selling our condo. She suggested a good price and we got a contract within two weeks at our asking price. She was very helpful throughout the closing process which was so helpful because we are out of state.”
