Competitive by nature, Donna Ciccarelli takes her real estate business to a new level for Austin Area Buyers and Sellers. Her focus on client retention comes out of her genuine desire to serve those that put their trust in her. "For me, it’s a ministry of service to others, helping them to make the most informed decision and guiding them through the process - it's all about the PLAN! Whether you are buying or selling now or a year from now, I develop a strategy to help you achieve your goals!"

Donna specializes in Residential real estate sales & marketing, green eco-friendly real estate & construction, historic preservation, new construction, and Farm & Ranch. She works with Buyers and Sellers providing value-added service. "For the Seller, I utilize tools to get up to 5-15% more for the property than traditional realtors. For the Buyer, I successfully negotiate the best price for the best house in any given market considering the long term cost of homeownership and appreciation."
