"When I was faced with needing to sell my mother's home and move her unexpectedly I initially felt overwhelmed. I knew Donna as an acquaintance (she had helped my aunt with a cross-country move ten years before) and knew she had experience working with seniors as well as special training in that area. From the moment I called Donna and explained the situation she was my partner and advocate and really took much of the burden off me.She came in and told me what needed to be done to prepare the house to list and did a thorough analysis to set pricing at what would bring my mother the most money and of utmost importance sell her house quickly. Her marketing was outstanding with professional photography and she made the best brochure – mom's house never looked better.The move was complicated in that I was packing up my mother's things not knowing exactly what her housing situation would be next. I had to decide what to pack what to donate and what to sell. Donna was patient and understanding throughout and also sensitive to my mother's feelings about the move. Donna had contacts and references for everything from estate sellers to repair people – painters HVAC roofers pressure washers - attorneys assisted living contacts etc. She also was great at navigating the strict codes of the HOA. No matter the obstacle she put me at ease that we would get through the process together. It's no wonder Donna's clients come back to her again and again and why I keep her cards to give out to friends needing real estate help. She is a true professional. It also helps she is kind and very funny – she made me laugh through my tears and I will always be grateful."

"Donna was the perfect agent for us. Her advice was helpful and her attention to every detail made our experience less stressful than we had expected. Her many years of being a Realtor in the Charlotte market helped us determine the right price and upgrades needed when both buying and selling our homes. Hands downs she's the best in the business."

"My agent Donna Anderson is the best. I continue to recommend her to my family and friends.After residing in the same house for 42 years it was time to down size. Donna came to my rescue and helped with many suggestions as to how best show my home for sale. After doing a thorough plunge and having a yard sale I began to ready my house for the market.Donna made the best suggestions on paint colors furniture arrangements and overall how to give my home a new look on the inside. Donna brought over some of her prints for my dining room and other decorative items for bedrooms. After just a few weeks prep my house was ready to list. It launched on a Thursday evening with two viewings on Friday multiply offers were on the table by the weekend. Closing took place a month later.In pursuit of a new home she went above and beyond what an agent is expected to do. While on vacation attending a golf tournament she placed offers on a home for me and worked to get contracts accepted and signed. She continued to follow thru on the inspections repairs and many other things that I wasn't even aware of that needed to be done since this was my first purchase in 40+ years.She was there from beginning to end with sale on one home and purchase of another. Her number continues to be at the top of my list for any friends that I might refer her in their pursuit of selling or purchasing a home. As I said "Donna Anderson is the best"."

From dealing with the inspectors and attorneys to making sure the house was spotless and ready to show Donna took care of it all. We could not be happier with the house we found and would recommend Donna to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Charlotte area. Thank you Donna for helping us find our forever home!"

Specialties
Originally from Augusta, GA, we moved here when I was five years old. I loved growing up in Charlotte and when taking potential buyers around, it always takes me back to my childhood and wonderful memories. I love presenting the Queen City, surrounding areas, and our state.
Cottingham Chalk has been my professional family my entire real estate career, which began in 1988. I was blessed to join a firm that stands on a belief of integrity and the golden rule – what a joy it has been to be affiliated with the best role models a professional could ever have. I currently serve as a mediator for the Charlotte Regional Realtors Association and am honored to be a past president as well as the 2013 CRRA Realtor of the Year recipient.
I love my profession, and to have the trust of clients with what is probably the largest investment anyone makes at a given time. When someone relocates to the area, they depend upon me to guide them on what is going to be a sound investment for their family’s future. Helping people find a house and neighborhood to call home is certainly a rewarding part of my job.
For a very personal reason, I am proud to hold a Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES) designation. I am one of five girls and we lost our father at a young age and our mother developed Alzheimer’s in her early 60s. After my father’s death, I watched my mother make major decisions on her own for the first time in her life. Then when she developed Alzheimer’s, I dealt firsthand with how difficult it was to know the right thing to do for her care. With these experiences, I realized I wanted to help people in similar situations, to help guide them through the minefields involved in various types of transitions.
I love spending time with my husband, a retired PGA professional and player, our two children, and our four granddaughters, who are the light of my life. When together, I share such special times with my four sisters.
I enjoy cooking, playing golf, card and board games, reading a good book and traveling. I have traveled in and out of the United States, but I think there is nothing prettier than the sites we have here in America. I love to see an American flag waving proudly with the beautiful Carolina blue sky in the background. Organizations near and dear to me are the American Red Cross, Special Olympics and the Alzheimer’s Foundation.
I used to be a stewardess for Delta Airlines and I was the field representative for Senator Howard Baker of Tennessee. As you can see, my professional life has always been being of service to the public.
