About Us:

Knowing, trusting, and liking your real estate agent is crucial to a good/pleasant/relaxing real estate experience. Having an agent with a professional opinion you can rely on and trust is an essential advantage during the buying/selling process. I've written a brief auto-biography to orient you with what has led me to my position as a top producer in the industry.

I was born in Ensenada, Mexico and grew up in Newport Beach, California. I am a member of a Real Estate family, with my mother who is a mortgage broker, a retired real estate developer for a father, and my sister who is an attorney and real estate broker. As a result of this family upbringing, I learned from a young age the importance of integrity and building relationships based on trust.

I graduated from University of Arizona with a teaching degree. I put this to work every day with my philosophy, which is to educate my clients so that they are informed during every step in the process and are able to make the right decisions, while relying on my expertise.

I began my career in January 1997 and was named Collin County's Rookie of the Year, as a result of producing over $6 million in sale's volume my first year. In 2000, I produced over $10,000,000 in volume, with the help of a team of professionals with which I have surrounded myself. This volume resulted in my placement as the number 5 agent in the Frankford/Preston Market Center, which is home to 210 real estate agents.

In March of 2001, I joined the Frisco Market Center. My goal is to assist in the growth of the office, with strong expectations that it will increase 100% from a 50 agent office to 100 agents by Spring of 2002.

With loyal clients, friends, & builders continuing to direct business in my direction, I hope to help many more people realized their real estate goals. Other agents look to me for advice, so I have been given the opportunity to teach classes to other REALTORS on how to better server their clients. It is a relationship driven business that requires a special personality. I love what I do, therefore I do it well. Serving others is what I do best. My success is based on your happiness. 80% of my business comes from repeat clients and referral business. I look forward to meeting you.

Due to Coleen's in depth knowledge of the local market and industry, Coleen was able to step in and sell my house in just one week! Several years later I contacted Coleen to sell a second home, as I was confident that she would provide great results while operating with integrity. Coleen is a highly desirable real estate agent and I would recommend her services to anyone buying or selling a home!"

" Earlier this year I contacted Coleen Donovan to list my Richardson property on Sherrill Park golf course. From our first meeting I knew she was a professional who knew her business. Everything from her market analysis to her suggestions on how to prepare the house for showing were very helpful and effective. When the house was listed we had 2 full price offers in less than a week and closed on terms very favorable for us. Coleen also handled the negotiations for the purchase of our new townhome and we could not have been happier with the results. No details were missed and she handled all the communication with the seller’s agent promptly and accurately. I highly recommend Coleen as a very skilled and effective agent in any residential real estate transaction. She cares about her clients as is great to work with! Doug Brown"
