Experience

Donaven’s dedication to team work and high standards led to 17 years with Verizon ending as a Program Manager, leading a team of project managers and analysts. Although those years were fast paced and exciting, Donaven always had that entrepreneurial calling. Over the past 20 years Donaven has also been investing in the buying and flipping and renting houses.

Education

As the oldest of four, Donaven, has an innate sense of responsibility and is driven to succeed. He began at the school of hard knocks, by pushing his Lawn-Boy mower down the street to neighboring homes when he began his first business at the age of 8. At an early age, he learned the value of understanding customer needs and wants and the advantage of “doing a job right” the first time. This work ethic carried on while he earned his bachelors degree from Indiana University, a Masters in Business Administration from Nova Southeastern University and finally a Masters Certificate in Program Management from George Washington University.

Family

Donaven is the proud dad of two teenagers, a daughter Ella, and a son Donaven. They are his pride and joy. He spends his time at Watauga Lake with the love of his life, Christie and they both agree, there is no place better to live. Christie is also a Realtor and teaches 8th Grade English at Hampton Elementary School. The entire family loves to ride bikes, hike, spend time on the golf range, shoot skeet, jet ski, boat, swim and hang out on the lake or sit out by a campfire.

I had tried three other real estate companies all with zero success. You were professional from the beginning and made quick work of finding a new owner. I am sure the new owners will be very happy that they found such a beautiful place to built a new home. You made me feel like you were a good friend, unfortunately this will be the end of that temporary friendship. I wish you continued success. Thank you so much. Richard & Linda Harrington

"Working with Donaven was absolutely the best experience. He always made time for us in our search for the perfect property. When we ran across some snags with a property we had put an offer in on he was immediately available to help us work thru it. I would absolutely work with him again, and I intend too, in the future.!"

"Donavan was our realtor when we purchased our home about a year ago in Butler, TN. We had to do a remote transaction as we were living in Missouri at the time. He has much experience with folks purchasing property remotely. He took plenty of pictures of the property nearing closing day and really made sure we truly satisfied with the property. Without a doubt, he secured our trust in answering the many questions that arose when purchasing a property in Tennessee while living in Missouri. The transaction was very smooth and I highly recommend Donaven to everyone purchasing property in Eastern Tennessee."
