From the moment we met Donna we knew we were in the hands of someone extraordinary. She exceeded our expectations, going above and beyond to help us find our perfect home. Throughout the entire process, her dedication, expertise, and exceptional service really enhanced our home-buying journey.


First impressions matter, and Donna made a lasting one. From our very first meeting, she listened attentively to our desires, priorities, and concerns. Her warm and personable approach instantly put us at ease, and it was evident that she genuinely cared about finding the right home for us. I originally contacted her to see one home in a 55+ community but she took the initiative to plan a tour of homes in several of the 55+ communities in the Roseville and Folsom areas so that we could see what communities best suited our needs. She even treated us to lunch that day!


Throughout the search, Donna proved to be a real estate expert. She had an in-depth knowledge of the local housing market, providing valuable insights that helped us make informed decisions. She was patient, taking the time to show us numerous properties and taking note of our feedback to refine the search further.


What truly set Donna apart was her unwavering commitment to our satisfaction. She was always available, promptly responding to calls, emails, and texts, ensuring we felt supported every step of the way. Her communication skills were exceptional, explaining complex terms and processes in a manner that was easy to grasp, which was crucial for us buying a newer home in an area we were not very familiar with.


We had a challenging situation because we were trying to sell our home at the same time as purchasing the new one. We ended up losing what we thought was our dream home due to a contingency we could not avoid, but Donna didn't give up and helped us to find an equally great home that was a much better value! Once we found the new house of our dreams, Donna helped us to secure a great deal that we were ecstatic about. She fought for our best interests and her strong negotiation skills were instrumental in making the entire process smooth and stress-free.


Moreover, Donna went above and beyond her duty by assisting us with various tasks related to the purchase, including recommending reputable home inspectors and insurance agents. She even met some contractors for me because we currently live about 2 hours from Roseville.

From offer to closing, Donna continued to support us diligently, ensuring that all the necessary paperwork and details were handled efficiently. Her meticulous attention to detail and organizational skills were truly commendable.


We are preparing to move into our dream home, and we owe it all to Donna. She is not just a real estate agent but a genuine partner who became an integral part of this memorable chapter in our lives, and someone we now consider to be a friend. If you're searching for a knowledgeable, dedicated, and compassionate real estate agent who will go the extra mile for you, look no further than Donna. We wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone in need of a top-notch real estate professional.


Thank you, Donna, for making our dream a reality!

We could not have found a more conscientious, detail oriented 'professional' to have handled what became a rather complex real estate transaction. Her ability to keep things moving forward making it all appear so effortless was remarkable. She also has a great personality and is lots of fun! Donna IS THE BEST OF THE BEST!

Donna was “on” from the first time we met. She was engaging, genuine and is truly passionate about the American Dream. My kids were first-time homebuyers looking for a home in an ever-increasing hot sellers market. She was extremely flexible and quick to respond throughout the process - and oh so knowledgeable! I will keep Donna as both a realtor and now a friend.

From day one Donna gained my respect, trust and provided me with a sense of security. Throughout the sale of my home, each time I had a question she responded within minutes to help ease my mind. Donna has a brilliant inner sense of how to treat people as if they are her own family. Any future real estate transactions I will definitely call upon her. I truly could not have asked for a better real estate angel.

Donna was exactly the right realtor to sell my home! Donna is professional, friendly, knowledgeable, competent, informative, and easy to work with.

Donna was very patient and helpful throughout our entire home buying experience. We changed our mind numerous times on what kind of home we wanted, but Donna never seemed to mind. She remained positive and upbeat the entire time.

I definitely recommend Donna to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Donna sold my Mother's house and the process from start to finish couldn't have been better. I was impressed by her initial presentation and how the house was marketed.

Jay K.

Donna, is the best real estate agent I've ever worked with always up on transactions-inspections Ie: being there for inspections when I couldn't. Above all rolling up her sleeves and doing some cleaning for next day inspection. So if you need a agent that is very knowledgeable about real estate trans actions Donna Chabrier is the one I would hire again.


Darren W.

It was a pleasure working with Donna. After getting to know her as a neighbor and telling her I was thinking of selling my home, she brought me a buyer before I even listed. The buyer was interested and met my needs. During the selling process, Donna kept me informed of the status of the sale and answered any of my questions quickly and professionally. She insured my needs as a seller were answered. Would recommend her highly. Thank you Donna for all you did.

I was referred to Donna by my neighbor, she called to introduce herself and I let her know I wanted to sell my house but wasn't ready at the time. She continued to call on a regular basis to see how i was doing, but was never overbearing or pestering me to get the listing. When I was ready I called her and we met in person. we hit it off from the beginning. She guided me through the whole process and my home sold for more than the listing price i would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone.


Marie S.

Donna is the best! She put together a great marketing plan and explained it thoroughly, was very understanding and patient about our timing issues with moving across the country, and sold our home in just three days for more than the asking price! We couldn't be happier. She also handled all the pesky details that come up during the sales process, kept us in the loop at all points, and answered all of our questions in a timely fashion. Finally, Donna has a super-positive and upbeat attitude with the experience and confidence to back it up. Great job Donna, and thank you for all that you did for us!

I highly recommend Donna! I’m now happily settled into my new home thanks to all her hard work. I was a first time home buyer and worried going into this process I would lose my mind but surprisingly it was much less stressful than I had imagined. Donna was always responsive, punctual, organized and professional. She answered ALL my questions, and handled all the inspections. She was truly amazing.

Buying a home as a single mother is a stressful situation but thanks to Donna I never felt alone in the process. She provided sound advice and her honest opinion about current market rates. I felt she was looking out for my best interests.

I will continue to use her in the future. Thanks Donna and to her wonderful team. I just love my home!


Krysta W.

Donna is AMAZING! She knew my style and she found exactly what I was looking for in my price range. The number one thing that I loved was we would go look at a house and she would surprise me with more listings to go look at. I love having more options to look at, especially since I’m a first time home owner. She’s fun and bubbly and I’m glad I had the opportunity to work with Donna!

Donna helped us narrow our home search and was quick to share new listings with us as soon as they came available. She was happy to show us homes throughout the region and when it was time to make an offer, her insight showed us how to negotiate an acceptable offer. The electronic communications kept us up-to-date throughout our transaction and she was always available to respond to questions. We love our new home, thank you Donna!


Rhea G.

She is awesome, really well organized, focused & does so much more than we expected! High energy, classy lady!


Leta K.

Throughout the years, I have had the experience of purchasing several different homes. Recently married we found the need to find a home with in-law quarter for my mother . We spoke to several different realtors that showed us various homes, until we reached out to Donna Chabriar. When making such a large decision, we wanted to work with someone that we could trust.


She has always answered every call or email no matter what time of day or night it was. Her professionalism. mentorship, knowledge, honesty and hard work ethic are much appreciated. We never felt she was trying to sell us a house, but that she was a mentor to answer questions and help us make the best decision for our family and finding our perfect home.


I consider Donna a friend and would highly recommend her to anyone that is searching for a new home or selling.


Thanks again, Donna Chabriar and Next Home for being such a pleasure to work with.
