My boyfriend and I were in search of our first home. Donna was pleasant and helpful from start to finish! She was extremely patient in explaining all the processes to us and always ready to go the extra mile for our needs and wants in the house hunt. We are now in the home we fell in love with and Donna isn't just a realtor to us anymore, she's a friend! We are looking forward to keeping in touch with her and recommending her to all of our friends and family! Thanks Donna !!! You're a rockstar!!!

I met Donna via Zillow on line. I believe my first words to her I was just looking. Donna understood exactly what I was looking for and she provided some homes for me to look at. I whittled them down due to location, issues about the house I liked or disliked. This includes water well v public, septic v sewer, location, size of home and condition, I was willing to do some updating but was really trying not have much renovation but easily repairable properties. We looked at a few properties over a couple of weeks.
When I walked into the home I finally bought I knew it then, if I could get the right price and cooperation from the current owner to pick up some of the repairs, after our inspector had reviewed the property would be very pleased. Donna recommended the inspector who was fantastic, knowledgeable and comes highly recommended by me as well as we did the inspection together instead of him just doing it himself. The inspector gave me a pad to write down the issues and it helped me understand all the issues that this gentleman was looking at including name, age and condition of the issues at hand. I knew how old the hot water heater, furnace, appliances, air conditioner unit etc. were. I feel if Donna Vaccaro had not been my Real Estate Agent I would still be looking for a home that I did not truly want for myself.. Donna has a true professional but has an outgoing personality which made me feel right from the start that she was the person I wanted to find me a home. She always returned my phone calls, text requests and emails very promptly. Daytime, after hours she was always responsive and a true hard worker. She kept me of her schedule but always was there when needed. She is an honest, friendly, knowledgeable agent and certainly a person I hold in high regard. I can find absolutely no faults with her process and applaud her work ethic. It took us less than a month to find the quality home of my dreams and at the price I wanted to spend for my future. Donna hit me a home run on this with her negotiating skills and the knowledge she had obtained in her chosen field, home area and life. I honestly do not believe it would have been this pleasurable to buy a home if it were not for Donna. Donna is a pleasure to work with and certainly is someone I have and will continue to recommend if you are buying or selling. I wish her the best and could not be more pleased a month into my new peaceful retreat.

Donna was simply amazing and was very helpful when we relocated to CT. It was our first time renting a home in 30 years and we had a wonderful experience. She was patient and truly cares about her costumers. Her local knowledge was invaluable to our selection process. Donna didn't stop working with us until we were 100% satisfied. Her hours were flexible I would recommend a call to Donna anytime your situation requires a quality Real estate agent.

Considering the circumstances with the loss of our mom, everything went fabulously well. Donna was wonderfulMary Ann Toro, Carol Manzi Patricia Bielstein
I worked with Donna Vaccaro to obtain a new tenant for a rental property. She is very professional and organized, and the process went very smoothly. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for quality tenants. She is a pleasure to work with.Catherine Dinoto
Donna was absolutely incredible. She was on top of every step in the process and as first-time buyers, it was so reassuring. We knew she had our best interest in mind and never once did we feel any type of pressure from her or from the process. We couldn't have had a better experience- all because of Donna.Emma Louise Johnson Robert W Gallucci, Jr
We had a very positive experience.Alex & Lindsay Ciccone
Donna is a true professional who helped us navigate thru the trials and tribulations of our retirement home adventure. We looked far and wide from Maine to New York and Donna was there to support us thru the entire process. Donna would either accompany us and provide advice or hook us up with top shelf associates who were familiar with the local market. Ultimately, we ended up buying property in Connecticut which included many twists in turns including wetland approvals, town storm water drainage issues and other issues. Donna made sure all issues were addressed and satisfied before we closed on the property. Again, thank you Donna for all your help and we will definitely consider you when we sell our house.Stephen & Mercedes Varanay
Donna Vaccaro was outstanding. She made it so easy for us with her guidance, professionalism and attention to all the details. We highly recommend her. So grateful for all her hard work.Walter & Karen Tamulis

I have bought and sold more than 15 investment houses since 2015 and have worked with many realtors. I can honestly say that Donna Vaccaro is a step above all of them. Unfortunately, selling our house began as a very unpleasant experience primary because of incompetent agents that represented potential buyers. The first two deals fell through for a multitude of reasons but Donna rallied and found the perfect buyer with a reasonable agent. Unfortunately, things happened during the first two deals, which made the experience very difficult but Donna was there for us all the way. Donna always presented herself professionally, supportive and had a can do attitude. She never gave up! We could not have done this without her not only because of her industry knowledge but also because of the quality people she knows to assist us with the repairs we needed done.William & Diane Ifkovic
Donna is amazing! 🌟 I have had the pleasure of working with her over the last several years. She is the only realtor we could entrust our mother's home to after her passing. My sisters and I are eternally grateful to Donna. The transaction was filled with emotion for us. Donna lovingly handled all the details with poise, confidence and kindness. A true professional! She gets 10 stars from us! In gratitude Kim Wrobel as executrix for my mom's estateKim Wrobel Exectutrix

Summary of their experience: We worked with several realtors before we found Donna and thank goodness we did! She's energetic, knowledgeable, patient & determined. We viewed dozens of homes over several towns and changed our minds often but she stuck with us till we found the right one. We felt she was truly advocating for us at all times and genuinely interested in our family's best interests, not just in selling a house. I couldn't recommend her more. She's the BEST!Past Client
