My husband and I dreamt of owning our own home but thought it would never be possible with the rising cost of homes in Ontario, until we met Donna. Donna is a beautiful and genuine soul. She is professional, patient, encouraging and always available. She went above and beyond and never stopped until we finally found a home we could afford. She does it all, assisting with the lenders and lawyers. Thank you Donna! We appreciate you and will always recommend you as the number one broker you are. You are in a league of your own.

Within a few years, my Mom had lost both her daughter and her husband. Shortly thereafter, it was becoming apparent that Mom wasn't capable of independent living. My wife and I agreed that it would be best for her to live with us. We called Donna to inquire about selling Mom's condo. This was a very difficult time for Mom. She was closing another chapter of her life. There were 20+ years of memories in that condo. Through it all, Donna was very understanding. There was never any pressure to sell. The more Mom and Donna spoke, the more Mom became comfortable with selling. I don't believe Mom would have sold her condo if it were not for Donna's calm demeanor and patience. Thank you Donna.

I am honoured to write this letter of testimonial for Donna Beglieri who was my realtor in our recent purchase of a condominium. Earlier this year we wanted to purchase a condominium for my elderly in-laws. It was a big decision for them to move out of their house where they have been living for more than twenty years and downsize to a condominium for safety reasons. Hence I was looking for a good real estate agent who understood the needs and difficulties of senior citizens. I contacted a few agents but none of them impressed me. One day I stumbled upon a condominium on the mls website and Donna was listed as one of the agents. I casually called her to inquire about that condo unit. Unfortunately that unit was already sold conditionally. However, the friendly manner in which Donna talked to me over the phone impressed me so much that I discussed all the details about our property purchasing plan with her. After a friendly lengthy conversation, she promised to find us a condo at an affordable price while meeting all our needs. Donna's compassion, insightfulness, positive energy, and professionalism was truly impressive. Shortly after, we met Donna to go and see a few condos. It was a remarkable and memorable meeting. Her personality, and positive manners were so impressive that we immediately selected her as our agent. From the moment she took over the responsibility, she was sincerely dedicated without being too pushy. Every day she was in touch with me updating me on any new listings, giving me details about other purchases around the neighbourhood and informing me right away if we had any questions or doubts. Very quickly we found a condo unit that we were satisfied with and purchased it in a very smooth, stress free manner. Donna was always very prompt and accurate with all the closing procedures and even found us a very good lawyer. Donna Baglieri is a highly commendable realtor who is reliable. trustworthy. hardworking and sincere. Her remarkable professionalism, extreme kindness and unlimited patience is truly impressive. We feel extremely fortunate to have met Donna and will definitely keep her as our family realtor for all our future needs. Thank you.

Donna has been my trusted Real Estate Agent for over 20 years, so when I retired and prepared to downsized to a condo of course I called her. Donna was and has always been compassionate, understanding and took the time to really understand my new housing needs. She was patient and always responded quickly and so diligently to my calls and requests. She effortlessly had my home staged and listed and my house was sold within days while I was away on my retirement trip. Donna then worked so closely with me to find the perfect condo that I feel safe and happy in. I can only imagine her advanced skills now having the technical knowledge and expertise focused on serving the 55+ community. Congratulations on your designation Donna!!!!

When I first started working with Donna Baglieri, I had no idea what an asset she would be to helping with buying our house. Once I started working with Donna, she is the first and only person I contact for any real estate plans, questions, or needs. Especially when my Mother was ready to downsize from her lifetime home. Donna was beyond fantastic. She was understanding, patient, and put my Mom at such ease. When my mom was unsure, she was there with answers. When she was nervous and wasn’t sure she was ready, Donna was not pushy and willing to work with my Mom at her pace. When her home sold, Donna was patient explaining everything and making sure she got the best deal and felt comfortable with the process. I would not hesitate to recommend Donna and the Belvista Realty team but definitely including helping elderly family and friends with their real estate needs. My mind was completely at ease knowing Donna was in my Mom’ corner.

I have known Donna at Belvista Realty for over two decades. She has been a trusted source for us in Real Estate. When I needed to relocate my elderly mother-in-law, she was very helpful. Donna took the time to understand her needs and accommodated her specific details around accessibility. Donna's attention to detail made the transition a smooth and worry-free journey. She is a true professional that displays empathy and care for the people she works with. Her years of Real Estate industry knowledge is second to none, not to mention her determination to help us find the ideal home for my mother-in-law. The entire experience has been very positive. I would highly recommend Donna and the Belvista Realty team for anyone who is looking to relocate their elderly loved ones.

DONNA, I am so thankful to have you as a Real Estate agent. The short sale process of selling my last house was much longer than I expected. I am happy to finally have that house sold. I appreciate the time you spent on it and know that was less than a normal house sell with all we had to deal with from the buyer. What you did for me over the last couple of months is unprecedented. You went way over and beyond protocol. Over the last 10 years you have helped me in the purchase of 3 homes and sale of 2 as well as recommending other friends that they should go with you and feel the same way. Our professional relationship has turned into a family like feel and I truly cherish the friendship I have built with you over this time period. When I first hired you 10 years ago, I had several family members and friends in the business, I wanted to go with a complete stranger and when I saw you in the magazine ad I said this is my agent. Little did I know this is one of the best business decisions I have ever made. (it didn’t hurt that it was a nice pic). ? Not only are you great and I mean GREAT at what you do. You make it easier for new and old home owners to go through the process. I mean all I have to do is sign papers and you have everything in place. You act like a project manager as well, providing various milestones on whats next and what we need to do. I can spend 100 pages of what other things you have done, you just make it easy. When I find out that someone is selling their house, I let them know about you every time. Confidently I know that they are making a big mistake if they don’t use you or if they had already hired someone else. I know for a fact that you are at the top of your class professionally as well as personally and if they give you a chance they will be very happy they did so. No one is better in my opinion. They just can’t be. Again, thank you Donna and I look forward to both our business and personal relationship to continue to grow over the years to come. Warmest regards, David Caivano

I met Donna Baglieri 7 years ago as she was helping me find my first house. I was impressed the first day that I met her with her professionalism, emotional intelligence, more specifically her empathy, her knowledge and credibility. Donna shows great care and dedication to her clients while delivering above and beyond customer care. She is very knowledgeable which is extremely valuable in a changing real estate market and complex market such as the GTA. In addition, she is a natural leader and has strong business acumen. She can balance the needs for understanding and reassurance of her clients with navigating through the business and real estate implications pertinent to her clients success. We’ve done business with Donna to buy, sale and facilitate a rental opportunity and her level of excellence never changed. She is very responsive and makes herself available for her clients. She is also a great negotiator which always leads to successfully closing a fair deal! As a result, I have referred Donna to others with no hesitation, and they would share the same on her great performance. I strongly recommend retaining her services. I cannot imagine dealing with anybody else!

We've had the privilege of working with Donna for over 17years; starting from the purchase of our first home as a family. She is professional, knowledgeable, friendly and honest in showing us both the pros and cons in the properties we've looked at or been interested in. Her perspective has always been to ensure we were 100% comfortable with our decision both financially and emotionally. She made our home buying, selling and real estate investment experience a positive one. Donna has always gone above and beyond in helping us understand the intricacies of real estate transactions, provide sound guidance, invaluable advice and exceptional solutions to all challenges including working with us to understand the "numbers", finding a lawyer or mortgage specialist to staging our home. She is a "one-stop shop" partner in real estate. We can always depend and rely on Donna. She is a realtor that really cares for her clients and truly someone we consider a close and trusted friend.
