About Donovan Schemke

The Schemke Team started solo in 1992 when Pam was working as a Realtor at a Boutique Office developing my business as one of Solano County's Top Real Estate Agents. Having been employed by the Rancho Solano Corporation (a golf course community development in 1989) Pam sold club memberships and toured potential buyers through custom homes. She then turned those buyers over to someone who ultimately wrote the contract and gave her a referral gift, i.e. a trip on the wine train, flowers, or a bottle of wine. Pam realized that she was actually selling homes, and loving it, but not getting paid. Pam earned her Real Estate License in 1992 and when her son Donovan followed her into the business and became her partner in 2002, at that boutique office, she was truly validated. His forward thinking and awareness of the Global Economy, the future of Real Estate as an International Investment, took him to RE/MAX to launch his career. Pam reluctantly followed, and as they say, The Rest is History. The exposure of an International Company, RE/MAX's Tools for Marketing, their Internationally Recognized Balloon, their Logo on the Scoreboard at San Francisco Giants Games, and their television commercials, made the boutique idea Pam clung to look like the Mom and Pop grocery store that had given way to the Supermarket. Pam was immediately at HOME with RE/MAX and grateful to Donovan for the enlightenment. What makes The Schemke Team a perfect pairing is the diverse backgrounds of The Team Members. While Mother and Son might seem the Same, Donovan comes to the table with a background in Sales in the Technology Sector. Donovan's love of numbers from early on plus his Tech and Sales Training make him the negotiator and statistician of The Team. Pamela, with a background in Human Resources and Membership Sales, her love of People, and listening skills make her the perfect person to listen to your needs. Together The Schemke Team has all that you require to make your Real Estate process seem effortless. The Schemke Team uses those Tools and our Local Name and Reputation to continue to successfully market and sell our Listings as well as to find the appropriate home or investment properties for each of our valued clients. We work on a referral basis and continue to be among the top Listing and Selling Agents in Solano and Napa Counties. Call us to List your Home or call us to find you a place you will love to come home to each day.

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.
