I highly recommend Donna, she responded to my inquiry right away with comps in hand, and got my place sold quickly. She is an excellent communicator, much better than other agents I've worked with over the years. She patiently answered questions, explained the pros and cons of offers received, and kept me informed every step of the way. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, on the ball agent that knows Tellico Plains and the surrounding area well, then don't hesitate to call Donna!

Donna was a fantastic agent and ally in the home buying process. She helped us find a great home in our budget using VA loan. Despite the added difficulties of a VA loan we found great success. Together we formed an offer and shaped negotiations to get a great deal. We actually got our home below its appraised value! Who walks into a home with equity in this market?! You can trust Donna to have your best interests at heart.

Thank you so very much Donna for finding our dream home (cabin) in Tellico Plains. Its been a long process but you took the time and patience to show us everything we asked. And after our first attempt to purchase land fell through, you assured us the right thing was out there waiting for us and boy were you right!! We are thrilled with the land, builder and final result of our purchase. You did an excellent job!

Tony & Liz Cutrone Knoxville, TN

I recently had the privilege of working with Donna Baran on my new home purchase. I've sold and bought several homes in my lifetime and she is by far the best realtor I've ever had the pleasure of working with. She was spot on with every detail of the purchasing process while setting the bar high for exceptional customer service. Without a doubt, Donna knows the real estate business inside and out, she's extremely effective with communication, and stayed on top of each step. Day or night, she was constantly communicating with me and keeping me informed. She went to great lengths to ensure all the inspections and mortgage process was handled in a timely manner and even drove to great lengths to make these things happen. Donna is an extremely skilled and professional realtor and her level of customer service is simply amazing. I would highly recommend anyone needing a realtor's service to  contact Donna Baran at Starr Mountain Realty. She's simply the best.

Jody Somerville Tellico Plains, TN

I listed my home with Donna Baran, of Starr Mountain Reality, and within 2 showings in 5 days it was under contract. She skillfully guided me through the entire process from listing to closing with ease. My property was unique in many ways and she found ways to highlight its best attributes. I can confidently recommend Donna as she has proven her ability to provide her clients with stellar service.

Vicki Johnson Tellico Plains, Tennessee

Donna Baran sold a piece of property for us recently.  Over a few months, we  realized the extent of her knowledge, and her willingness to work extremely hard to make a sale happen.  She went above and beyond and was very thorough In every step of this process. She communicated often and always answered our questions in private message immediately.  Because of these things and the extent of her professionalism, we highly recommend her to anyone.

Jack and Judy Wrighter Tellico Plains, Tennessee

I recognize and recommend the outstanding service and expertise provided by Donna Baran as a real estate professional in helping us to realize our dream of owning a beautiful mountain property. We came to Donna looking for the impossible.  Wooded acreage with year-round water, isolated but with good access, private but proximate to services, and within our resources...  With Donna's help we were able to find that impossible piece of property. Having found the place, Donna proved to be our most valuable ally in buying that property.  Working with Donna we gained access to a network local professionals.  If we needed a Surveyor, Soil Scientist, Appraiser, County Official, Service Provider, or Contractor; Donna knew them all and recommended the best. Donna served as our faithful guide on the sometimes twisting road of buying rural property.  Be advised that buying mountain property in East Tennessee can be more complicated than buying a home in a more urban environment.  Easements, encroachments, property lines that have not been surveyed, property lines that have been incorrectly surveyed, and boundaries with public land can all be a part of the adventure.  Donna was there throughout the process to identify problems, recommend solutions, and to provide encouragement. Realizing our dream would not have been possible without Donna's help.  We would gladly recommend Donna to anyone who is looking to make the impossible a reality in Monroe or the surrounding counties.

Captain Brad McMahan Tellico Plains Tennessee

Donna Baran has been my realtor for a year. She has represented me and my sister in the sale of my undeveloped land near Coker Creek out from Tellico Plains, Tennessee. I find her to be both knowledgeable and creative. We closed on the sale of a portion of my property today after she guided me efficiently through what could have been a difficult transaction.

Paul Brown Atlanta Georgia

The sale of our lot closed this morning, as planned. Thank you so much for your help and your prompt action throughout this process. You found us a buyer right away, obtained an offer, advised us as we proceeded through the negotiation process, and continued to oversee and expedite the closing procedure. In addition to making all this happen in a short time, we believe you secured for us a fair price for our property. We hope that others will choose you and Starr Mountain Realty to manage their property transactions for them. We’re certain they will be as delighted as we have been.

Jack and Anna Johnson Tellico Plains East Tennessee

Donna brings new meaning to the phrase "customer service"! Buying a new home, as anyone knows, can be a tiresome and painstaking process. Also being 1000 miles away from the home you are trying to purchase makes things all the more difficult. Donna was able to make our home purchase the easiest real-estate transaction we ever experienced. Her knowledge...is second to none. The attention to detail she displays is incredible. Donna went far above and beyond your average Realtor in helping us get things done in our absence. She is a true asset and really puts her clients interest FIRST! We can't thank her enough!

Sharon and Mike Mark Tellico Plains East Tennessee

Donna is absolutely amazing! She worked so hard to get our house on the market and sold. I would definitely recommend listing a home with her. She communicates with you every step of the way so you know exactly what is going on. Thanks for all your hard work Donna!

 Allison and Alex Barger Athens East Tennessee

Donna is very professional and personable. I had an idea of what I was looking for in a home. Donna and I conversed some, all of a sudden she found it and we moved on it. If I sell this property I will call Donna.

Harry Hall Englewood East Tennessee

Donna Baran brings to her realty work all the qualities one looks for in a service provider. She is knowledgeable, attentive to client needs, honest, thorough and reliable. When a meeting is scheduled, Donna arrives early. When a question asked, Donna responds immediately. Donna is friendly, patient and interesting, and was a joy to work with in our successful cabin search. This real estate transaction was completed very quickly and fairly, and we are 100% satisfied. We strongly recommend Donna Baran to serve you when selling or buying real estate.

Karen Hamerslag and John Shryock Tellico Plains East Tennessee

Donna Baran, of Starr Mountain Realty, felt like a new friend the moment we met! With her knowledge and experience, she quickly guided me away from several properties that were on my list to look at, with clear reasons why they wouldn’t be good choices for me. She very much looks out for the needs of her clients. Donna is also very fast to respond to all communication, and to jump on whatever wrinkles come up. She worked very hard on her end to make things seem easy on my end. I happily recommend her services to anyone needing a realtor in East Tennessee!

Darlene Brooks Tellico Plains East Tennessee

Donna listened to me and found the perfect house. She was very efficient! She walked me through the whole process and went above and beyond to be sure everything was completed as needed. I highly recommend her. Awesome agent!

Ann Oenbrink Tellico Plains east Tennessee

You will be in good hands with Donna. She was wonderful through the entire process, generous with her time, very accessible and responsive. We really appreciated her guidance in negotiations. Her knowledge and contacts in the local community were very helpful after closing. We have bought and sold many houses in our lifetimes and this is the best experience we have had.

Vicki and LJ Copely Tellico Plains East Tennessee

The day Donna listed our home, we had two showings. Six days later; the SOLD sign went up! We could not be happier with Donna Baran's services"

Christopher Milligan Riceville East Tennessee

We had our home listed with a local Realtor(R) and we were unhappy with the way they handled it. One day; Donna had a showing at our home and we were so impressed with the way she handled herself with her client that we asked her to list our home. We are so pleased with our decision. In the first three months, Donna did more for us than any other realtor and after five months; Donna sold our home. Anyone should be proud to have an agent like Donna on their team. We would recommend her to anyone.

Pat and Linda Gemind Tellico Plains East Tennessee

I would recommend Donna to anyone looking for a home. I was a first time home buyer and she took me through the whole process. She is a very knowledgeable professional. I could call, text or email her anytime and I would get a response right away. My schedule is very busy and she made accommodations to work with me. If I am ever in the market again for a home, I will not hesitate to call her.

Alonso Bell Madisonville east Tennessee

Donna was great when taking me around and showing various properties. We must have looked at twenty five houses over a period of a few months. She never tired of the process. Her responsiveness was prompt throughout. She even helped me out in matters unrelated to the sale of the house- beyond the call of duty.

R.Cain Tellico Plains East Tennessee

We were new to Tennessee and Donna made sure we were aware of the area so we could make an informed home selection. She spent several days with us as we looked at properties on several lakes before we finally decided on the home we purchased. She gave us good insight on each home from a property quality stand point and on the home's standing in the marketplace.

Mark and Debbie Kozloski Spring City east Tennessee

Donna's knowledge of her chosen area of the East Tennessee mountains is amazing. She listens carefully to her clients' wishes and has an amazing knack for asking the right questions to help her clients fulfill their desires. In particular, she helped me to name, from my nebulous dream, a specific type of property that would meet my needs. Donna knew before I did what I really needed and found it for me. Her professionalism and good character made her a pleasure to work with. I knew I could trust her to deal honestly and positively with me. Through a protracted period of negotiation with the seller of the property I ultimately bought; Donna was calm and gave sound advice and an occasional shoulder patting when needed. She guided me through the title search and survey and a multitude of technicalities I haven't thought about in decades. Closing day was a celebration for me. I will be 'coming home' finally to the mountains that I have held in my soul since birth. There is no one I would rather have had at my side than Donna Baran.

Valerie Waters Englewood East Tennessee

From the moment we met Donna, we experienced what real estate service should be. Not only did she sell our properties faster than we thought possible; she kept us informed with the progress of the sale on a daily basis. Having purchased numerous properties over the years, we have never experienced this kind of personal care from any realtor. She receives our highest recommendation.

Dona and Linda Charest Tellico Plains East Tennessee

We moved to Tennessee two years ago and ended up buying two cabins while we were there. Donna listed both of our cabins and did a remarkable job marketing both of them. We got offers on both cabins in the same week which was great. She took exceptional videos and pictures that show all aspects of both homes. Great realtor and recommended by us!

John and Jeanie Gzula Tellico Plains East Tennessee

Donna can find the right piece of land for you too! She has worked weekends meeting my husband and me and showing us lots of beautiful land until we found the right one. Thank you again, Donna for everything! We are beyond excited to start our new mountain life!

Michael and Jennifer McLeod Tellico Plains East Tennessee

Very professional and attentive to our needs! Donna listened and followed up with us at every turn. We are very pleased with all aspects of our experience and highly recommend Donna Baran.

Gary and Debi Castiglione Tellico Plains East Tennessee

Donna Baran made our home buying experience  easy. She is a pleasure to work with and has the patience of a saint. With her help, we have found our forever home in East Tennessee.

Annie and Lebron Pritchett Tellico Plains East Tennessee

Donna was very professional and patient with us as we were first time home buyers. My husband's work schedule was a little crazy at first but she was very understanding and worked around his schedule. She helped us through the whole process and when we had a question, she was prompt at answering. I would highly recommend Donna to anyone looking to buy a home.

Lindsay and Lanny Church Athens, East Tennessee

“I would like to share my experience in dealing with Donna Baran , Starr Mountain Realty, on the sale of my cabin.  She was very professional.  Excellent with legal matters and details.  Always returned my calls ASAP.  She went the extra mile to help in any way possible.  In all my years of buying and selling this was the very best experience of all.  I recommend you contact Donna for getting the job done right.  She is an awesome agent.”       Bonnie  Wilson Coker Creek Tennessee

Donna is the most patient realtor! She found us our perfect little cabin in paradise. We recently decided to sell it and called Donna. She is more than a realtor, she is a friend. There is no one better in Tennessee. We will be back, and we will call Donna!

Annie and Lebron Pritchett, Tellico Plains, East Tennessee

“Donna Baran is a wonderful realtor, and we highly recommend her. We consider her to be a “Five Starr Realtor”. Donna lives in the area, and her extensive knowledge of the region positions her well to be an agent for either the seller or the buyer. The sale of our cabin in the Cherokee National Forest of Southeastern Tennessee was a challenge, particularly during the coronavirus. Donna recognized the unique potential of our log cabin home in Coker Creek, and was able to highlight its positive qualities for prospective buyers. It took some time to find the right buyer for our cabin, but Donna was proactive in seeking out other opinions and ideas during that time to keep the listing fresh and attract buyers to the property.”

Dennis and Candace Plante Apollo Beach Florida

“Donna was highly recommended to by from a friend in a neighboring state. From the first time I spoke to Donna, I knew that I had been introduced to the right person for my real estate needs. She is extremely professional, prompt and energetic. Her diligence, patience and attention to detail are exemplary. She maintains a great communication line from beginning to end and even checked on me a couple of times after closing. It is blatantly obvious that Donna is very experienced and truly knows and understands real estate, its associated laws and rules and the market in which she serves. I would highly recommend Donna for any and all of your real estate needs. “ Greg Greyson, Farmer, TN
