"Marianna is a pleasure to work with! Very helpful from start to finish! She even sent us other options to look at. Not only after helping us get into a home she also provided ideas on how to decorate it and where to purchase appliances for a discount that we would be needing! Checked in on us on move in day! She is an absolute gem especially if you don't know what you are doing...like us!!!!" - Rachel

"Mariana truly sets the bar for customer service in all aspects of your real estate needs. When moving to Orange County our family needed the guidance and assurance of where to live and what to expect within each community. Mariana took the time to not only educate us on the area but followed up on every request we had quickly with relevant info. We have and will continue to recommend Mariana to all friends and family because we know they will be taken care of without a doubt." - Jimmy

"As many realize, deciding on a realtor is a fraught process unless you are buying/selling homes frequently! Given what's at stake, knowing your realtor and their position, or take on the many issues and hoops to jump through Bauds well for a good transaction. After interviewing the top three Realtors in my neighborhood and a couple of friend's referrals - I got a good understanding of personal synergies and a realistic perspective on my neighborhood market conditions. I found that making it a competitive selection process - short list of three, provided an insight into their true character under pressure and a good look under a "veneer of professionalism" with some. Understandably, having a good referral counts - and while Mariana did not have the years of experience of others, her referral for integrity, knowledge and great interpersonal skills was a clincher. Then there is her keen eye for staging which saved thousands in costs and made the transaction memorable for its smoothness through open house and four week closing even though it was fraught with negotiations! Cannot speak more highly of her." - Willy

"I recently sold a home in Newport Beach. This was not a simple transaction as I was selling the property on behalf of a family member who lives in Italy and not a US citizen. Mariana Donahue made the entire sale transaction extremely easy. Not only was she able to locate a buyer immediately, but she gave us excellent advise every step of the way. It was a seamless transaction. Mariana was always just a phone call away, day and night. She anticipated everything I needed in advance and we closed the entire transaction in less than 30 days! WOW!!" - Michela

About Mariana

Mariana is an educated professional with great networking skills and an eye for design. This allows her to deliver optimal results for her sellers and find excellent deals for her buyers. She gained an interest in real estate from her experiences conducting personal transactions. Having purchased and sold both primary residences and investment properties, where she supervised each phase of the design and remodeling process, she developed a talent for visualizing the potential of a space and a capacity for maximizing a home's aesthetic appeal.

Mariana has been fortunate to have the opportunity to learn about the industry from a young age. This has given her a belief in the importance of listening carefully to people, which is essential to helping them identify their needs and goals for the future.

Fluent in Spanish, together with Mariana's interpersonal skills are a factor in her success. She enjoys working directly with people and she thinks that homeownership is a vital strategy for building and maintaining communities. Mariana loves sharing what she knows to help her clients find their dream home or get the maximum possible return on their investment. Outside of work some of her activities are oil painting, gourmet groups, her local church, and her favorite thing, spending time with family and friends.
