DONNA soda

native of Ohio, Donna has always valued family and the importance of relationships. These relationships have grounded her with a great work ethic and have created an extremely disciplined professional who values communication with customers and believes in being punctual and focused. She is a savvy real

estate associate who understands the importance of knowing the product and respecting everyone’s time.

Donna started her real estate career after her husband Jim was already up and running. Jim became extremely busy very quickly. They started as a team of four with Toni and Randy Huartson, Donna’s sister and brother-inlaw. After Toni and Randy moved back to California, Jim and Donna created another dynamic team. Donna is the glue that runs this well-oiled machine called The Soda Group. She holds each team member accountable for their days and knows where everyone is at all times. With a strong creative side to Donna she handles the marketing, social media, events, open houses, advertising, technology, shows property and continually stays in constant contact with their customers, whether they are selling or buying property. Communication is key; it is imperative, in her book, to always be in touch with a customer. Donna is very diligent, determined and detail oriented. Listening to people and hearing what they say is a must. In her world it is about the client all day long.

The team works to create relationships for life.
