Carmen Donaldson is a native Houstonian. Prior to becoming a licensed real estate agent in 2007, she worked in several major industries including banking, market research, retail and non-profit. Having lived and worked in Houston her entire life, she has built an extensive network and has formed and nurtured close relationships with local businesses and many people throughout the area.

Carmen has been a top producer in her brokerages, has served on Agent Leadership Councils as well as trained, taught classes and mentored agents. Because of her love of continued education, she remains passionate about learning and keeping up with the latest real estate trends and tools.

Due to Carmen's deep roots in the Houston area, she is familiar with many parts of Houston but because of her 30 plus years of residing in the Northwest Houston, she chooses to focus in the NW quadrant of Houston from Spring to Tomball, Cypress, Copperfield and Katy. This knowledge allows her to give her buyers and sellers the best advise possible.

The most important factors in selling a home are price and condition. Carmen's extensive knowledge in pricing strategies and partnerships with expert service providers can give her selling clients the best tools to meet those two most important factors.

Since the beginning of her real estate career, Carmen has known that the best place to begin in the home buying process is a face to face meeting in order to find out exactly what a buyer is looking for in a home. Everyone is different and has different needs so finding out what the most important features of a home are for a particular buyer is crucial.

On a personal note, Carmen is married and has 2 adult children, 2 grandbabies and 1 grand dog. She was born and raised just east of downtown Houston but has traveled extensively in Europe and SE Asia. These days, she spends most of her time entertaining family and friends nearby her current home in NW Houston.

I am passionate about real estate and am committed to providing outstanding and dependable customer service. I have enthusiastically invested in real estate for the last 18 years, and at the same time worked in the energy sector. My experience as a Navy veteran, former high school teacher, and contract administrator with a leading energy company have taught me how to be patient, detail oriented, proactive and a strong advocate for customers. As a Realtor, I will advocate for you. Whether you are buying, selling or renting, I will work tirelessly to promote your best interests. If you are selling, I will work with you to get you the fairest price, in the least amount of time, by using state-of-the-art technology, team collaboration and KW Memorial's superior marketing materials. If you are buying, I will work hard to provide you with the best information and market data to inform and assist you so you can be a well-equipped buyer with the strongest possible negotiating position. I understand that buying and selling real estate can be stressful. I will work hard to lower your stress level and make your experience as pleasurable as possible through constant communication and by being accessible whenever you need me. I am a graduate of Rice University and the University of Houston. Fluent in Spanish.
