We used Donna Gennaro as our realtor in the sale of our house in Chester, NY in February 2025. Donna was a professional in every sense of of the word. She explained the house selling process to us and promptly answered any questions that we had along the way, from listing to closing. Donna is an experienced negotiator and worked hard to get us the best price for our house. We would highly recommend Donna if you are thinking of selling your house.

Donna helped us as a buyer's agent. I have moved all over the country during a 30-year military career, and she is one of the best real estate agents I have worked with. She is very knowledgeable about the area. She was very responsive and professional.

Donna was our realtor selling our condo recently. She spent time with us explaining the steps along the way and kept us informed of the status of potential buyers. The video of our condo was really great an showed it in the best light. Donna was patient as we had pursued selling previously and then changed our minds, we got there in the end though. So I highly recommend Donna as a realtor.

Donna Gennaro was an amazing realtor! She listened to all of her questions and concerns and made the process absolutely smooth. Our house got sold quickly and for the price we wanted she uses many tools so that your house gets listed in many places. It was a pleasure working with her and I would recommend her to anyone.

Donna did an incredible job selling my home from start to finish. She was extremely knowledgeable, an expert in the market, and sold my home faster than I had hoped at a higher price than I expected. I couldn't ask for anything more from the experience. She did excellent work given a tough situation with a difficult timeline. I recommend Donna highly.

One of the very last things that Donna did for us was to get down on her hands and knees to use Facetime on her Apple cell phone, so that the town’s building dept. inspector could see underneath our deck, without having to come out in person for final approval. That is typical of the lengths to which Donna will go for her clients. She did an excellent job staging our house – even brought her own pillows to create just the right look for our living room. Her research obtaining a proper selling price led to us getting $5K more than our asking price, which was at the top of her recommended range. Donna used a photographer who created an amazing video tour of our house and property. We had a lot of people who scheduled showings of our house – 18 different parties in less than one week! The ultimate buyers of our house were the fourth party to see our house in person. We would whole-heartedly recommend Donna to anyone trying to sell their house!

I can't say enough good things about Donna. We interviewed 3 potential realtors to help us sell our home and she was the best candidate for us. Her knowledge and experience gave us the confidence that we would make the best sale possible. She is always honest with you and will tell you what you need to know to get your home sold- not just something you might want to hear to have you choose her over other sales people. Her staging advice is spot on and will help show your home in the best light and attract the greatest number of showings possible, which is exactly what you want as a seller. I would highly reccommend Donna Gennaro to anyone looking to put their home on the market. I would give her 10 stars if I could.

I am making this review on behalf of my parents. I recently moved out of the NY metro area with my parents so they could enjoy their retirement safely. My mom was struggling to make a choice on who to have as the realtor on my childhood hom but ultimately wanted someone with experience, especially within this crazy market- so my mom chose Donna. Donna went above and beyond every step of the way and was really helpful and comforting when my father passed suddenly due to cancer. Donna was able to sell our house with only being on the market for two weeks! She helped my mom every step of the way and actually went to the house after closing to help ensure that the handymen my mom hired to help fix last minute things were there, saving a lot of stress for my mom. My mom really wanted photos to remember the house by, and Donna mailed my mom a whole book of the professional pictures that were taken and apart of the listing- I know this made my mom super happy and really helped her cement the memories from this house. Thank you, Donna, so so so much for everything you have done for my parents and especially my mom. We are so grateful. I cannot recommend Donna enough- if you want someone with expertise, experience, grace and kindness, please list your house with Donna Gennaro. Thank you, Donna!

I recently sold my home with Donna Gennaro as my real estate agent. From the very first phone call with Donna I knew she was the perfect agent to represent my husband and I. She always made sure to answer all of my questions and my telephone calls. She offered up advice and made sure to get to know me and figure out ways to make selling our home as simple as possible. She always made sure to provide updates, and she staged our house beautifully. She even made sure to call and check in on not only how things were coming along with the house but how I was holding up with the entire process. We are forever grateful to Donna for all that she's done when it came to selling our house.

I have now had the pleasure of working with Donna Gennaro twice. The first time, in 2010, to purchase our first home in Monroe in Orange County. We received a referral from our bank, USAA, as we were using a VA loan at the time. Donna was professional, caring and very efficient. She stayed on top of all of the details of the sale, responded to phone calls and emails immediately, and had great advice on how to navigate the process. We enjoyed working with her so much we did not want to consider another agent for our second purchase! We just finished closing on our new house in early December of 2020. Even during COVID, Donna did not miss a step and was as professional, friendly and efficient as ever. She was wonderful to work with and makes sure the job gets done. We highly recommend working with Donna!

We have used Donna to sell another home and there was no question who would sell this home. Donna is a wonderful and very knowledgeable real estate agent. She is a consummate professional. She keeps her finger on the pulse and suggested a selling price we were comfortable with. Donna made arrangements for a video of our townhome which she placed on the real estate sites.

Donna has a strong professional manner that is backed by experience .Her keen sense of details when searching for the right home for her buyers, gave us a comforting feeling . Donna listened to what we thought was important to us as we looked at various homes and urged us to widen our scope so we could also dream a little within our budget. When it came time to negotiate the right home, Donna walked us through the process with success. Her “frank” honesty was always tempered with good humor and sincerity. We are seniors, and Donna made the transition of downsizing a journey that we are grateful we did and very grateful she was the one who accompanied us. We have already recommended Donna to friends who are also downsizing.
