Donna Caynoski - Testimonials

We have dealt with a number of brokers over the years, but Donna was the best. Beyond her sales and marketing skills, Donna's attention to detail and follow-up were superb. She is reliable, smart, and a real pleasure to deal with. Donna is a real pro!

She was very professional and patient during this process. We highly recommend Donna to anyone who is buying or selling a property in the Vail Valley.

We looked for several months until we found what addressed our growing family's needs. She was attentive and patient as we worked our way thru the various opportunities. Once we focused in on "the perfect house", she was tenacious in getting the seller's attention and helping us get the property under contract with provisions that protected our interest. Once under Contract, Donna was meticulous in making sure we timely met all deadlines and shepherded us towards a successful closing. Even after closing, Donna attended to our needs as we had various vendor/repair issues. Undoubtedly, we would work with Donna again and recommend her highly. She treated us as if we were her only clients even though we knew she had other listings/prospects to attend to. Thanks Donna for the great job and personal attention.

Her extensive knowledge of the Vail Valley real estate market was invaluable to us in our recent sale, but she also understood the deeply personal nature of selling a family home. She ensured a smooth transaction by taking care of some of the smallest, but critical, details in our sale so that both the seller and the buyer were thrilled by the end result. We have been clients of Donna's for over 20 years, when she helped us find our first home in Vail. Like many of her clients, our business relationship has resulted in a long friendship due to her warmth and honesty.

Not that we ever underestimated your knowledge and talent in your occupation, but we now have had the occasion to experience and appreciate the full extent of your real estate prowess. Thank you for your patience on this journey in helping us find our perfect home! - New Homeowner in Cascade Village, Vail

This is the second home we have purchased in the Vail Valley. The attention to detail, our needs and our time line have always been met with expertise. Our broker has worked with several of our family members for many years. She has always been professional, and caring and has always exceeded our expectations.

Very calm and measured, very professional, very knowledgeable about the market and a good negotiator. A pleasure to work with.

She is super knowledgeable, very professional, and incredibly enjoyable to work with. - Seller, Vail

Very responsive, timely and experienced.

One of my first calls was to Donna Caynoski because I considered her advice and expertise invaluable. Donna provided my wife and I with a fresh outlook on the value of our property that enjoys a rare location on the banks of Lake Creek. Rather than simply analyzing the numbers, she imagined the personal connection that a potential buyer would form with the property. She knew that it would be an emotional buy and that the right buyer for the property would pay a premium. Donna was right and we were fortunate that the buyer stepped forward quickly. We sincerely appreciated Donna’s valuable expertise that resulted in a higher price than many brokers thought possible.

Donna is very personable, thoughtful, and thorough. From start to finish Donna and I were in constant communications about various aspects of the transaction. Donna is very knowledgeable of the Edwards area, the real estate process, and is very skilled in negotiations. I purchased my new home in Edwards which made the logistics of the deal not very convenient for me. Donna proactively helped me from a "full service" perspective, much of which I viewed over and beyond the call of duty. A few examples included lining up contractors and coordinating inspection visits, showing rental agents my house and introducing me to them, inventorying all items in the house that I purchased (essentially all content) for completeness before the walkthrough, and providing a comprehensive list of utility companies and contractors that I may need in the future. Overall, I was extremely please with the range of assistance that Donna provided and her level of professionalism. Donna was an absolute pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend her to people in the future.

She kept us informed on a regular basis, kept track of critical dates and made sure those items were all handled on a timely manner. I was very impressed and strongly recommend Donna as your broker.

5 🌟

She managed everything big and small and provided excellent guidance through every step of the process. Her communication was on point - always providing information before we even knew we needed it! The care she personally invested in our property made the difference. She took the time to understand how special the property was to our family and how another family could have that same experience. Thanks Donna!

She was professional every step of the way. She actually worked at selling our home. Donna was very warm and personable and at the same time very realistic. We cannot be more pleased, thank you Donna!

She had thorough information on several properties each time we went out, and when we chose one she found us insurance, handyman, hot tub service, property managers, appraisers, engineers, etc. She was at the property to confirm numerous services that needed to be done were done. She is by far the best realtor we have ever had. I would refer her to anyone and if a potential client would like a reference, I would be happy to provide one. - New Homeowner in Vail

She is smart, understands the market well and as such was realistic in the pricing recommendations for my home. She guided me through the pricing strategy, location benefits and weaknesses and positioned the house for a successful transaction. Donna is a lovely woman who always made herself available which was key to me as an out of state seller. I would strongly recommend Donna as she really understands her business, the local real estate market and successfully balances her knowledge while reflecting her clients interests.

I worked with Donna both as a buyer and as a seller. She is incredibly knowledgeable, personable and incredibly easy to work with. She listens and she develops strong relationships with both her buyers and sellers. She always goes the extra mile. She attends to every detail from how the home shows to how it is finally delivered to the buyer. Donna makes what could be a stressful process very easy. I could not recommend her more highly and, would not consider doing a real estate transaction in the Valley without Donna.

And that is where Donna Caynoski comes in, offering her unique brand: an elegant combination of vision, wisdom, and the deft touch and impeccable sense of timing of a highly seasoned professional who transforms the entire experience into a harmonious strategic exercise that is implemented with precision and grace. All tasks, no matter how small or large, are handled promptly and thoughtfully, so that no detail is overlooked and no one client is treated like any other. Donna’s gift is rooted in her ability to embrace the uniqueness, diversity and humanity of each client, dedicating the time necessary to ask, listen, and understand objectives, dreams, fears and constraints, the better to customize the client journey and protect and maximize clients’ interests. Her knowledge of the various communities, neighborhoods, and indeed individual streets of Vail and its environs (including their respective weather patterns, cultural feel, proximity to amenities and the like) runs deep. Her creativity and intuition are unparalleled, and her network of contacts — e.g., the best architects, attorneys, zoning board specialists, designers, inspectors, and contractors of every kind — are an invaluable resource. In sum, Donna is one of those true rarities, someone whose unwavering commitment to excellence and unfettered love for Vail, its people, and its homes permeates everything she does and is reflected in her amazing outcomes and success.

We are very fortunate to have been able to work with her. - Seller in Vail

She looked after everything knowing that we are out of the country. She was very knowledgeable about all the withholding taxes that would apply to us. - Seller, Nancy and Robert Torokvei in Cascade Village, Vail

She worked hard for us in all aspects of our process: from the search for a home to the negotiations to the details when we were under contract and before close, as well as the close itself. She was wonderful to work with and we will definitely recommend her to our friends and family. - New Homeowner in West Vail

! Very sucsesful closing and very special service as expected from a very professional person. Highly recomended.

From our very first phone conversation we knew we had found the right team. You were very thorough and professional in researching the Cordillera market and our home before taking the listing and continued that thoroughness and professionalism straight through closing. Your thoughtfulness in how to market our house was refreshing. In a very honest yet caring manner you let us know what needed to happen to prepare and actively sell our home. We appreciate your openness and communication with us every step of the way. We especially appreciate your professionalism in negotiating the contract. You helped guide us through the contract process and were creative in offering solutions. We highly recommend Donna Caynoski and her team to any buyer or seller. Thanks Donna for everything! - Cheryl, Seller in Cordillera
