I worked with James Donovan and his team on an investment property I owned in the Kissimmee (Disney) area. I bought the property during the peak of 2022 when the market in Orlando was red hot. I realized after owning the property for about 2 years that it wasn't a great investment for us and I was hoping to sell at break even. After having the property listed with another realtor for close to a year we had one offer fall through and we could see the market taking a significant downturn. I appreciated James having a very frank conversation with me about our listing price and even though I didn't like what he was saying to me, I knew with bookings declining, inventory climbing and prices dropping rapidly, if I wanted to sell I needed to be priced attractively. James was never afraid to tell me the truth about the market conditions, and when I pushed back he always left it up to me to make the final call on price. We are happy that James and his team were able to get the job done. It wasn't easy. There were many points after we were under contract that the deal could have fell apart, but James stayed calm and always had our best interests in mind even if they didn't align with his objectives to sell the property. I truly appreciate this attention to detail and partnership. Now looking at record high inventory levels and more houses hitting the market everyday, I'm comfortable I made the right decision even if there was some pain along the way. If you are reading this and you are debating whether it's the right time to sell, I would recommend working with James because they are no BS and will give you the right advice to achieve your desired outcome. read more

We cannot say enough positive things about Team Donovan and Dan Palmer. He went above and beyond the role of real estate agent. He worked patiently and diligently with us for the past two years helping and guiding us to find the right property for us. We have wanted to purchase a condo hotel property for a few years and Dan willing showed us several prior to March 2020 and Covid 19. As the world started to reopen this year, Dan willingly would check out units that we found on real estate sites. As Canadians, it was difficult for us to come to look at the units so Dan would video the units and point out positives and negatives. When the price on our new unit dropped, Dan called us right away and guided us through the entire sale process. Dan is honest and trustworthy and willing to go the extra mile. We would be pleased to recommend Dan to others looking to buy in the Orlando area. The other staff at Team Donovan were also extremely efficient, friendly and helpful throughout the sale and closing process. We would like to thank them for arranging our ITIN with HBI and setting up the inspection and closing meetings. Everyone contributed in making this a successful purchase for us.

We made an absolutely correct decision when we chose Team Donovan to sell our Condo in Kissimmee, Florida! After deciding to sell our Winter getaway Condo in Kissimmee, we met with 4 agents, and really felt that James Donovan from Team Donovan was the right agent for us. As Canadians selling a US property, James connected us with all the necessary firms and people to make the selling process as simple and painless as possible. Then James provided weekly updates on the condo viewings and the team provided monthly real estate updates showing listings and sales in our area, so we had a good idea of the market during the entire time. We felt we were in the correct hands and the successful sale of our Condo is proof that we made the right decision. The overall experience was great and exceeded expectations. Well done James, Steve and Adam of Team Donovan. Thank you for working with us in selling our Winter getaway. We would highly recommend Team Donovan. Bye to Mickey and friends for now. David G.

Top-Notch Experience with the James Donavan Team! We recently worked with the James Donavan Team to sell our home, and we couldn't be more impressed with the level of professionalism and care they brought to the entire process. From the very first meeting to the final closing, they were knowledgeable, responsive, and incredibly supportive. What really stood out was how smoothly everything went. They kept us informed at every step, answered all our questions with patience, and made sure we felt confident in every decision. Their attention to detail and commitment to our goals made a huge difference. If you're looking for a real estate team that combines expertise with genuine dedication to their clients, we highly recommend the James Donavan Team. They made what could have been a stressful experience feel easy and even enjoyable! -- Carlos & Joy read more

James and his team went above and beyond to get us to the finish line with an extremely difficult and inexperienced buyer. I can't even begin to describe the amount of ridiculous and unprofessional hurdles the buyer and the buyer's agent presented throughout the process, all the way down to the closing. But James worked so hard throughout even though it wasn't much of a payoff for him and he would not let the deal die. He had to even dig into his pockets just to make sure I sold the property, which in more than two dozens real estate transactions I've been involved with, I've never seen. I always felt like James was on my team and in the end, when the buyer's agent was being selfish and unprofessional, James made sure to remain calm, thoughtful, professional, creative and intelligent, and in the end very generous, to make sure the deal closed. read more

We have owned in Florida for more than 12 years and have enjoyed wonderful holidays with family and friends at our home. We retired in 2016 and decided to sell up as we intended to travel more ourselves and the kids had grown up. We attempted to sell through a number of agents but struck out with next to no interest. When we approached Team Donovan it was clear from the beginning they were entirely different. We were met with enormous positivity and enthusiasm and everyone was so warm and friendly. This was supported by the most professional and up to date approach we had encountered leaving us confident this time would be different. Within a couple of weeks we had received an offer and now we have sold and are able to crack on with our travel plans. Thank you Team Donovan, you didn't just deliver what you said you would, you exceeded it. read more

If you're looking for a real estate team that blends expertise, integrity, and the kind of communication that keeps your stress levels blessedly low, Team Donovan is the way to go. James and Adam were absolutely phenomenal throughout my recent home sale- fair, steady, and proactive at every turn. Every update came exactly when I needed it, never leaving me wondering what was happening behind the scenes. James has guided me and my family through five home sales and purchases over the last decade, and every single one has been a smooth, successful experience. That kind of consistency is rare, and it says everything about the level of care and professionalism this team brings to the table. I recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone who wants a seamless process and top-tier service from people who genuinely know what they're doing. read more

In 2022 Team Donovan handled the sale of our holiday home in Kissimmee - we are UK residents - there assistance, expertise and professionalism was of the highest order and way beyond the call of duty. After a very quick and profitable sale of our home by Team Donovan we hit a wall with an accountant from Daytona who handled our IRS Tax Return failing to achieve any reasonable refund despite us challenging them throughout the submission process. On contacting James Donovan he quickly made arrangements to refer us to Harding Bell International Accountants. HBI then took up our case and we have recently received an additional refund of $29k. Team Donovan and James Donovan went well beyond there business responsibility to help us and we cannot thank them enough. read more

I was looking to buy a vacation rental in Orlando last year and got connected with Dan Palmer at Team Donovan and I sure got lucky. Dan is a fantastic realtor who is always looking out for my best interest. Since I live out of town, Dan would check out the properties that I have picked out, and always gave me his thoughts on both the positives and the negatives. He considered factors I didn't think about, like parking situation in the neighborhood, proximity to busy roads and potential road noises. He kept an eye on the construction and attended the walkthrough on my behalf since I couldn't be there in person, and was more meticulous than I could have been myself. I could not be happier to have him on my side for my purchase. read more

We chose Team Donovan because of their proactive approach in reaching out to us a long time ago with comprehensive and detailed information on the Orlando property market and Regal Oaks in particular. When it came time for us to sell, they were the obvious choice when compared to other realtors who had reached out to us and who merely sent out a card or a letter. Our choice has been fully justified by the very personal attention we have received and the helpful guidance on pricing and how to respond to offers. All the paperwork has been handled efficiently and closure was completed dead on time in mid-April 2021. We have no hesitation in recommending them. read more

Wow! What can I say about Team Donovan? If you are looking for a well established Real Estate company to manage your house sale I can highly recommend them.

We were kept informed at every stage - communication by e mail and telephone was excellent. Our house sold in less than 6 weeks! read more

I was very happy with the services provided by TeamDonovan and would highly recommend them to anyone who is considering putting their property on the market. James is an excellent leader of his team and the standard of care to the customer was second to none. As well as a friendly and efficient service, I was provided with a selection of contacts who could assist me with the various steps in the process of selling, from notary public and accountants to currency exchange agents and being available to answer any and all queries for the uninitiated seller selling from a different continent. Thank you James and your team. read more
