Donovan Schemke

For those of you facing the difficult decision of buying your first home, our experience with Donovan Schemke has to be shared! When we made the most important purchase of our lives we trusted Donovan to help us navigate this difficult and red hot housing market. It turned out to be the best decision we could have ever made.During our 6 month search, Donovan was always working for us. At a moment's notice, he was willing to show us homes and answer any questions we had. Together, we searched within four separate market areas which were both desirable and affordable to us. He also kept telling us we could afford this home for sale in our dream neighborhood, which he certainly didn't believe....at first. Although the home was out of our price range, as time went on, he assured us that we have a legitimate chance at it. Throughout our experience, he kept this property in the back of his mind knowing that we could take a shot at it when the timing was right. After showing us the property and ultimately negotiating for it, we purchased it for 20% BELOW list price in the hottest housing market in our lifetime! Months later, we still find it hard to believe that we are in this house. Thanks to Donovans internal judgement, market experience, and negotiating skills, we wake up everyday with a huge smile knowing that we are never leaving this house! Thank you Donovan for your tireless and unwavering ability to see through the clouds during times of uncertainty. YOU HAVE LITERALLY CHANGED OUR LIVES! THANK YOU!!

Pamela and Donovan are top notch real estate agents. Definitely experts in the industry. Having had bought and sold 4 homes in the past 3 years in Marin county and in Fresno county and now a fifth home in Fairfield which was a last minute rush to market sale of our parents home; they helped us immensely from helping us get in touch with a local estate sale expert to housecleaners and even helped coordinate the rebuilding of a 40 foot section of fence that fell down in a winter storm. We could not have done it without them and I would not think of using another team for any real estate needs in the solano county area. Hands down a superb experience. Excellent communication, excellent advice and extremely helpful. Thank you Pamela and Donovan!

Donavon did an amazing job with selling our home. Had several design ideas which helped us in selling our place. I was very satisfied with how he handled a difficult process which uncluded several surprizes.

Donovan treated us like family! When we moved my father out of state from California, we left the sale of his house in the hands of Donovan Schemke. I was worried since we left the house rather quickly and unable to take care of some much needed repairs. Donovan took complete charge of the situation. After his inspection of the house, he made suggestions and helped set up bids for work that needed to be done. He was on site and communicated to me daily suppling updates (even pictures) of all repairs and work in progress. Because of his dedication and kindness, my father's house sold within a few weeks allowing us to move on and enjoy our lives in our new state and home.

FIRST TIME HOME BUYER - COMPLETELY SATISFIED WITH HER EXPERIENCE My journey started over a year ago, I lived in a different state (Washington) so as you can imagine communication and trust was key! A year ago, I came to visit one weekend to look at homes, Ashley (who is Donovan's assistant) picked me up from the airport (how sweet!) and dropped me off with Pamela (Donovan's business partner/mom; Donovan was out of town at the time). Pamela showed me several houses but I ended up not moving forward and returned back to Washington State.Note--- Pamela was super sweet, had a motherly vibe, and I could tell she really cared about what I wanted and about my safety. Since I was in a different state and unable to view additional homes on my own, Donovan would send me videos of him walking through and explaining the tid bits of the house. He would give me his thoughts on certain things, things that I would have never even thought of, which was very helpful, especially since I wasn't able to view the home myself.We searched and searched, but still... no luck! So I decided to move to California, rent out an apartment and after nearly a year, my lease was coming to an end and I reached back out to Donovan. I really wanted to find a new home, I was anxious and without realizing it, I was rushing... Donovan brought this to my attention and said he would go see 100 houses with me if we needed to. This reminded me not to settle. It reminded me that I needed to find a home I really loved! Which, I'm grateful I listened, because now I'm in a home I really LOVE.Needless to say, I am very happy with my experience and felt like I could really trust them! Which I feel like is huge. You should definitely be able to trust your realtor. And as a first time home buyer... I felt like I had so many questions and Donovan was able to explain things to me in a way that I could understand (and very quickly too).

Donovan was wonderful to work with. He was extremely professional, responsive and worked so hard for us. He helped us get our dream home and we couldn't be happier with his dedication to making that happen.

Donovan has both sold us a home and is currently selling our home. He is extremely patient, honest, kind, funny and cares about what you are looking for. I felt like I could trust him to rule out homes he knew would not work for us when we searched for our house. Being a military family, we had to move within 6 months of owning our home and were happy to have Donovan help us during that time.

Donovan and his team are personable, professional, reliable and they get the job done! Donovan was our realtor when we bought our house and then, so quickly, got it sold 8 years later. If you are looking to buy or sale a home, I HIGHLY recommend Donovan Schemke.
