Born and raised on a farm along the Niagara Escarpment in Creemore, Donna learned about hard work and dedication from a young age. Donna’s parents were both realtors; as such, she grew up fully immersed in real estate, and attributes her passion for real estate to their influence on her.
Prior to her career in real estate, Donna spent many years as a visual arts teacher in Alliston. Her background in the arts has provided her with a keen attention to detail, and willingness to help others succeed. Her kindness and patient demeanor always shine through in her interactions with clients. Donna is very passionate about helping her clients find their perfect home. Donna is an enthusiastic, dedicated and driven Realtor® with over 17 years of experience.
It was during her tenure as a teacher in Alliston where she met her husband, a music teacher, who is now a pastor at their local church. Together they have three children. Donna and her husband are heavily involved in their church. Aside from selling real estate, Donna enjoys spending time with her family, painting, reading, walking, and visiting local independent shops throughout Simcoe County. She has a deep appreciation of nature, and her love for the community she serves is apparent.

My home was no sooner listed that it was sold. I couldn’t have wished for more.
-Pauline Connolly
Donna was very informative and helped us sell our past home and find our current home. The little unexpected things that Faris Team did really made them stand out from the rest.
-Katie Orieux
We can’t thank Donna and the whole Faris Team enough for their promptness, knowledge, availability and care for us. As we learned more about the values and guiding principals of Faris Team, we were more and more confident that we had chosen the right team to help us find our first home. Faris Team was incredible to work with! As first-time home buyers, we were new to the process and our agent, Donna, was extremely helpful and patient. They are an experienced, thorough and thoughtful team that we would definitely recommend to anyone buying or selling a home.
