Donna Banks is a top tier agent AND a wonderful human. Her character is genuine without sacrificing professionalism. She has an outstanding work ethic that is rarely encountered in todays society. And patience..... this woman has the "patience of Job". I selected Donna based on her sales (not listing) record in the area of my cabin. The location is very rural/isolated so I wanted an agent who had demonstrated a high level of initiative to drive sales - Donna's local sales records were the best so I selected her. Throughout the listing/sale process Donna did a great job of listening, explaining, suggesting, setting realistic goals and expectations, follow through, tying up the loose ends of closing, and she also negotiated an adequate seller compensation for a contract extension. She procured exceptional imaging for the listing. Suggested a home improvement that drastically increased marketability and referred a contractor to get the job done. Donna did a wonderful job of keeping me on track with my owner responsibilities - She provided the appropriate amount of nudging to keep me focused and driven. I could not have asked for a better agent, experience, or outcome. Donna Banks went beyond the call of duty and far exceeded all my expectations.

We chose Donna because her reputation speaks for itself in the community. Once we saw her in action, we knew she was on top of things, knowledgeable, kind, and helpful. We honestly thought it would take years to find a house and, thankfully, it was all meant to be, and this would not have been as easy if it hadn't been for Donna's knowledge and guidance. She is an amazing force for our community The process was so smooth. We have all heard the nightmarish tales of closings gone bad or delays in closing and so on. We were prepared for anything, but everything happened so smoothly and we know Donna's time and work helped achieve a less stressful experience. We are so grateful for all Donna has done for us and are so blessed to call ourselves first-time homeowners. Thank you for all you do, Donna! Thank you for making this process exciting, enjoyable, and worthwhile.

All of these adjectives perfectly describe Donna Banks. We could not have chosen anyone more suited to sell this property than Donna. Donna could write the book on Professionalism. This was not an easy property to sell, but her guidance on having a home inspection done prior to putting it on the market was invaluable in helping us avoid even more headaches. Her suggestions on who could help us with repairs/problems was gold and enabled us to get repairs done quickly which meet our standards; thus the property did not languish on the market, but sold very quickly. She meet each buyer with respect and courtesy. Donna took a difficult to sell property and made the entire process seem seamless. There was a lot of stress involved due to dealing with the FHA but she took this off our shoulders and placed it upon hers all while keeping us calm, keeping our buyer, and keeping our profit where we wanted it to be. Beyond excellent.

Based on my experience with Donna, I would certainly recommend her to anyone selling their home. My overall experience working with Donna was excellent. I was especially impressed with Donna's marketing. She put a lot of effort into photo advertising. I felt secure with the whole process because of the excellent way she guided me through it. She was always willing to answer questions and deal with concerns. Donna was referred to me by a friend. She immediately reached out to me to discuss my situation and need re: the sale of my home. I was impressed with how quickly she responded and offered any help she could provide. I also checked on line to look at evaluations from others who have worked with her....impressed that the majority were positive.

She is extremely well-thought of, respected and admired by everyone in our area. Donna showed us a great marketing plan when she interviewed for the listing. We were very impressed with the marketing assets Beverly-Hanks offered. Donna put them all to great use and really got the word out about our property. Donna did a wonderful job of keeping us informed all along the way. She delivered all the news in a timely manner, whether good or bad news as it related to the sale of the property. Her follow up was fantastic. Very timely.

Donna Banks took great care to make sure that she clearly explained all of the contractual information to me and exactly how her office would present my property once listed for sale. She did a wonderful job keeping me informed throughout the entire process and was always available to answer any questions that I may have had.

Donna Banks is a well rounded and highly qualified Real Estate agent. She is strong in negotiating but is also detail oriented with respect to the paperwork and details, a rare combination.

Donna Banks was the only broker we considered for agent for our house. After meeting and talking with her, we had no reservations about engaging her as our broker. We had used another agent from Asheville, NC, two-three years ago, but to no avail. After only three showings during the course of the contract, we knew we needed a good agent, but my husband's health issues prevented us from placing house on market until 2019, and Donna was our choice. A good choice as our house sold in approximately six weeks. Donna stayed on abreast of everything, and she kept us informed, as well. She was very patient with us as she had to explain some things more than once to us. Her marketing skills are impressive. Donna is all of the above and then some. She is great to work with, and we considered her fully trained and well-informed. She has a great personality, is trustworthy and very dependable. Fantastic pretty much sums up our experience with Donna Banks and Beverly-Hanks, and we highly recommend them.

In an attempt to sell a couple of years ago because of a job relocation, I went with one of the local brokers in Mitchell Co. They did not understand having an internet presence, nor did they market outside of the local area. They also didn't understand the importance of professional photography or social media. I ended up having to take it off the market and rent it because the local realtor let a couple of deals fall through, and just didn't do my house justice. When i decided to sell this time,I interviewed brokers and scheduled with three people. One didn't show up at all, one showed up in blue jeans and piece of crumbled up paper for notes, and then Donna showed up. She was professionally dressed, had lots of information for me to go through, had already researched my property, and took the time to sit down and discuss strategy. I knew within 5 minutes she was going to sell my house. Donna understood the importance of marketing this house to the right audience. She had a strong social media presence, and was a constant advocate for me. My house is somewhat unique, so Donna went the extra mile having professional photos taken because she knew that my house would need those for marketing...and to appeal to out of town buyers. It went great and the house got lots of attention. I know because of Donna, my house sold in just a few weeks in what is an otherwise slower market right now. If I ever have real estate needs in Western NC again, I would use Donna's services again without question...and I highly recommend her to anyone...buyer or seller.

Donna is an old TRUSTED friend and although she had limited real estate experience at this point that didn't concern us. She showed early on that she was willing to go the extra mile despite this being a very small sale. She treated us as if this was a very large sale and as a retired sales professional my wife I were very impressed. Bottom line is that she got the job done while others in the local area who were much more experienced had not.
