Minding Your Business Diane Donahue, Realtor Gibson Sotheby’s International Realty

To say Diane Donahue enjoys her job would be an understatement. Just spend some time with her and you’ll realize that.

 “I earned my real estate license in 2016 and began my career at a small local agency before joining the Gibson Sotheby’s International Realty team,” she said. Why go from a small local company to a big national, even international one?  

“Being a part of GSIR is more than just working for a company; it’s like being part of a family,” she said. “We genuinely support each other, and the management goes above and beyond my expectations.” Plus, Donahue said, the advantages are huge. “Sotheby’s, as a brand, is recognized worldwide, and just being associated with such a prestigious name has significantly boosted my referral business.”  

Though Sotheby’s has that global notoriety, Donahue sees real estate as a very personal business. “It’s a close relationship you form with a buyer or a seller,” she said. “I realize it’s one of the biggest transactions you make in your life!  

“One of my greatest strengths is problem-solving. Every transaction comes with its challenges, which can create anxiety for clients. There is a solution to every problem. My willingness to work around the clock, from the first step to closing, I feel sets me apart from other agents and brokers.”  

“Diane Donahue is a steward of people’s dreams,” one client wrote. “We had a project that required us to work with the historic, zoning and conservation [commissions]. She helped us to navigate the challenges to achieve what we had envisioned. After the closing, she still continued to help us, responding to our questions, helping find solutions for all the little things after the sale. We’ve worked with numerous realtors and would put her at the top.” 

“Terrific guidance, open houses almost every weekend, and advertisements above and beyond the MLS listing,” said a happy seller about working with Donahue. “My wife and I are pretty confident that Diane’s hard work, great attitude…and her local market expertise had a lot to do with our house’s quick and streamlined sale.” 

Donahue is a self-proclaimed optimist. “I've carried that outlook my entire life, which translates into my work. One of my favorite sayings in real estate is ‘It’s not a matter of if, it’s a matter of when.’”    

And the testimonials reaffirm that: “She has the gift of being able to put everyone at ease and worked extremely well with us and our broker,” said one homebuyer. “Her enthusiasm was infectious, and frankly, if you can’t get along with Diane, you need to look within! 

“We could not have asked for a better realtor! Best decision we’ve ever made!”
