During our search for our first home and were matched up with Dee, and we are glad we were.

Dee really helped us hone in on where we wanted to look, and find the right listings based on our criteria. When it came time to make an offer, Dee was amazing guiding us through the process and helped us get our house below list price. She has tons of contacts and recommended an attorney for the contract and a great inspection company that was very thorough and a great price. Dee new exactly what to look for during our walk through and was really helpful then too. She is really responsive and available while juggling what seems like a ton of listings. Every sellers realtor we met knew her and respected her. Finally we got a lovely house warming gift that was very sweet. We will recommend Dee to any of our friends that are buying/selling a house on Long Island.

Dee Donovan is amazing!

She sold our house in Northport and worked tirelessly throughout the whole process. Selling a house mid-pandemic is no easy task, yet Dee made it happen. We are very fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with Dee.

After conducting a thorough market analysis and placing my home for sale, Dee helped me secure my asking price within 10 days.

Dee and her colleagues are very professional and adhered to very strict Covid standards with everyone that viewed my house. Dee is responsive, will take the time to answer all your questions, and is very transparent in her process.

Dee Donovan is the person to use when either selling or buying a home, look no further.

When she says she is there for you from start to finish, she is not kidding. Dee helped us sell our home within 10 days. She was there at any time to show us a home we just spotted, answer any questions, texted back in super fast speed, made herself available, the list goes on and on. We cannot say it enough, Dee made us feel as if we were her sole clients. The wonderful and awesome support she gives cannot be matched, in our experience and opinion. Dee, Kris and team are top notch. We strongly believe that we got first rate service with Dee, that other realtors were lacking in. Dee appreciated the nuances of our home and translated that to potential buyers. Dee was always there with a positive, supportive and professional attitude. We can clearly see why Dee Donovan is constantly ranked as one of the top sellers in this area of Long Island. Thank you Dee for making this transition from one home to another as smooth as possible. You are #1 in our book.

Dee put my house in contract in few days for top price to a well qualified buyer.

She swooped in and helped me transition from a different brokerage to hers. She is an expert in local homes and values. She is always calm, cool, and professional. She is a resource for assisting with referrals for everything needed including moving and clearing out the house. Most of all, I appreciate the honesty and fair treatment (besides of course the top dollar quick contract, even relatively speaking in this market).

lizfriedel6

Dee helped us in 2006 to sell my inlaws house in Northport.

She made it easy and pretty much stress free as an estate sale. Now in 2021 I had to sell my parents home in Huntington to settle the estate. She is a pure professional. I am a real estate broker in upstate NY and she made our profession proud. She knows her market very well. As another Broker in the business in another area I would never hesitate to call her!

Dee made it happen.

We loved a house but had to sell ours first to get into it. I called Dee and she had my house on the market the next morning. The house sold within the week and we closed on the house we love a couple weeks later. Dee is on top of her game. I would recommend her to anyone that is looking to Sell and or buy.

Dee Donovan was a god send through the home buying process she listened and offered advice when asked, if I thought something might be of interest and she felt otherwise she shared her reasons and was usually correct.

She was always, always quick to respond and was never pushy she told us from the start that she worked for us and she did, I know I’m not the easiest client but in the end it worked out better than expected and that’s mostly in part because we had Dee on our side at every stage of the process. Would I recommend her?..... yes absolutely. Some of her attributes are Competent, consistent, honest, hard working, caring and professional so in closing if your buying or selling your home you should consider Dee

Highly recommend Dee and Dina - they were with us start to finish, as promised.

They know the area well and always provide honest advice with no pressure. I can’t imagine going through the sale of our house without them!

jferr1974

I worked with Dee in a rare house situation for my family and I.

We were selling ours to only attempt to buy a specific house and needed a fast sale. Dee understood that if we didn't get the house we wanted we would take ours off the market and revisit the situation in a few years. Without any hesitation, she worked her butt off for us, held open houses, and set up multiple house showings, all knowing that she may get nothing in return. She also gave us great insight and advice with the house we were interested in. She was pleasant to work with, responsive immediately, and incredibly nice. Unfortunately the house we wanted didn't work out for us, but I guarantee that, if we put our house back on the market in 2-3 years, we will 100% use Dee!!

"As first time homebuyers, the process of finding and buying a home was extremely daunting. Dee was an amazing resource to have during this time. She is fast-moving, highly communicative (both weekdays and weekends) and had suggestions and contacts for everyone from mortgage brokers to lawyers to contractors. She was aggressive on listings when needed and still allowed us time and space to make our own decisions. She was always available when needed and we were very grateful to have her in our corner. We would highly recommend Dee to anyone looking for a real estate agent in the Long Island area."
