Owning my first home at the ripe old age of 21, I got to love the homeownership experience and benefits. It was a small 2 bedroom 1 bath, 950 square mansion, I could call home. From that first experience, I fell in love with the real estate business and how I could impact the lives of individuals and families for generations to come.
Let my 30+ years of experience in real estate and pest control work for you:

Testimonials
"I worked with another agent for five months to buy a house and could not get anywhere, I was disappointed until I met Don, he found me the house that I wanted and been looking for it in less than 2 weeks. He truly trusts worthy. I put my faith in his hands and he delivered so well. He works hard to get his clients the best on their benefits. I strongly recommend Don to everyone who is buying or selling."
-Homa K., Client
"Don helped me through a very long process. I am a first time home buyer. He helped me close on a house in Suisun. He also helped find the inspector, contractor, pest control. The home needed a lot of work. He also found a 203k lender to help in the process, he is very reliable, he goes out of his way to make your search less stressful. Don also found a roofer to do the roof for me. He is very reliable, professional, dedicated to his clients... THANKS, DON WE LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU IN THE FUTURE."
-Debra C, Client
"Don is by far and away the best agent I have ever had. And that's after selling six homes and buying five. He is super professional and takes care of his clients. His strengths are more than everything below. If and when I or any person I know decide to buy or sell, Don will get the ONLY call."
-Willard N., Client
"Don was the most responsive real estate agent we contacted to start our Vallejo home search. He is very knowledgeable on the Vallejo area and provided great insight. Don supplemented our research with other options and ultimately found us our dream home AND, due to his long-standing professional relationships, ensured that we got the house despite being a back-up offer. During the escrow period, he was very patient and insightful, with myriad resources and contacts to get the required repairs done right. He also masterfully managed the negotiation so that we paid less than expected, including no closing costs!"
