Fun Facts About Me

My Favorite Nonprofit:

I'm very active with Love is Bald, which benefits local cancer patients and their families.

Favorite Local Restaurants:

Everyday lunches would be Sea Level for their delicious and healthy cuisines. All special occasions and any other excuse would be Manna.

In my Spare Time:

I don’t know...what’s that? Ha! When I’m not helping clients, I try to spend as much time with family and friends as possible.

Stuck on a deserted island?

I'd have to have wine, excellent cheese, water crackers, a record player, and good friends! And my phone, of course, to get contracts negotiated and signed for clients.

Achievement I'm Proud of:

In Acadia National Park, I climbed the mountain named, The Beehive, an advanced climb for someone who hates heights. I proved to myself that I'm capable of anything I set my mind to even if it means going slowly and taking one step at a time.

Morning person or night owl?

Hands down a morning person! Early Pilates classes give me the energy to take on the day or any real estate venture!

    I met Allison while tagging along with a friend as they viewed homes. We had just moved to Wilmington and at the time were very apprehensive of calling this place home. Immediately, her personality won me over and her knowledge in real estate was icing on the cake. She had such a great vibe; a real down to earth individual, that seven years later my husband and I reached out to begin our journey. We listed every single detail of what we were looking for and man did she deliver. She even remembered the ones I mentioned years ago. She was responsive, negotiated with ease, and even with a newborn was super flexible. We are so glad to have met her, work with her and can call her a friend. If you are looking for someone with a sincere desire to help you find a home, who doesn't make you feel like a commission check, who is honest, kind, knows what to look and ask for, then look no further. Allison is the realtor you need, a true gem. We are so pleased with our decision in choosing her and our new home. Nest Realty you have a rock star with Allison. She is definitely one of the best agents in town in our book. Thank you so much!

    Ms. Donovan has sold my family two homes. She is the best around. My daughter moved to Wilmington from Los Angeles and we trusted Allison from Day 1. She is exceptionally knowledgeable, professional, well-versed in the market, genuine, and has serious work ethic. She is in it with you. Almost 3 years later, when we bought a home too, my husband and I felt that Allison was only a text message or phone call away through out the entire process. Allison is never too busy for her clients and she truly wants what is best for your family! We highly recommend and plan on doing business with Ms. Donovan for years to come!

    Allison was the ultimate professional in helping me sell my home. I was on a tight time frame, she came out the day I called, made recommendations and projections about comparisons and price, she helped me stage the house and got pictures within 2 days. On the 4th evening , she had listed the house. The pictures were excellent and made the house look so appealing . In 2 days we had 7 offers, it was wonderful and the best I could have hoped for She is very knowlegeable, and responsive to all concerns. She communicated well with the showing agents and kept me in touch with what was transpiring. I highly recommend Allison Donovan to help with buying or selling.

    Allison was an absolute pleasure to work with. We were looking to purchase our first vacation home from 12 hours away. Allison scheduled calls and told us all about the area before we traveled and then worked in house visits around our busy vacation schedule. Once we found a place, she took the lead throughout negotiation, inspections and closing. She was so trustworthy and professional that we’re even looking to her expertise for local trades so we can make the home our own. If you’re looking in the area, I can’t recommend Allison highly enough.

    I cannot speak highly enough of Allison. I purchased my first home with her a few years ago and she made the buying experience a breeze. She was very tolerant of me looking at a great deal of houses and when she found the perfect house for me it had not even hit the market yet. She was able to negotiate a steal of a deal. I was so happy with her that when it came time for my mom to sell her house Allison was our go to realtor. She did not disappoint. She far exceeded our expectations, and had the house sold in a few days for way more than we were expecting. Any future real estate deals we will definitely be calling Allison

    Allison was the absolute best to work with. She’s friendly, personable and very knowledgeable when it comes to real estate. She spent a ton of time with us viewing properties in a small timeframe, finding plenty to choose from within our budget. She also helped us understand the whole process of making an offer all the way through to the closing.We truly enjoyed working with her and couldn’t ask for a better agent.

    It was a long couple of months with the purchase of my home and Allison was there to help all those long months. I appreciated her taking the time months before hand sending me prospects of houses to check out and waking me through few of them. Even though I had been moved in for some stone she has continued to help answer questions and keep in contact!

    We had a wonderful remote purchase experience with Allison. Living in California, we were able to confidently purchase a rental property in Wilmington with the guidance and referrals from her. The process from beginning to end was low stress and we are so happy with our apartment. We plan to do it all again with her support.
