We were searching online and saw a listing for a cool house in Poteau. It was an older house on a hill that looked like a great renovation prospect. I sent an email inquiring about the house and within ten minutes received an email from Donna Blakey. She answered my questions promptly and in detail. We arranged to drive to Poteau the next day and on short notice Donna met us to look at the house. We were comfortable with Donna from the minute we met her. She is very friendly and honest. She knows the real estate in the area and without hesitation answered any question we had about the property. Donna recommended potential contractors and inspectors, willingly took the time to open the house for the city water department and the gas company. Also, her negotiations resulted in the acceptance of our offer. Unfortunately, the house didn't work out, but now we know who to contact for real estate in the area. If you are looking for someone who knows all the ins and outs of buying or selling a house in the Poteau area and is great to work with, I recommend you call Donna at Poteau Valley Realty. read more
