Meet the Team - The Donnelly Group

In 2007, Diane Donnelly formed The Donnelly Group to create an innovative team strategy that would provide clients with agents dedicated specifically to the unique needs of buyers and sellers. This approach allows each client to access the experience, expertise and resources needed to successfully buy or sell a home. It also allows the agent(s) to focus all their efforts, training and skills unique to each of these processes. This approach has been overwhelmingly successful! The Donnelly Group is consistently among the Top real estate teams in Maryland, and also recognized nationally.

In their spare time, Diane and the team devote a tremendous amount of time to dog adoption and transport services. She has volunteered time and resources to support the AA SPCA, the Senior Dog Sanctuary, and transports dogs from high-kill shelters to foster homes for adoption. So, we are truly the dog-friendly Realtor, devoted to "Finding Dogs, and their Owners, a place to call home for Over 25 Years!"

Diane Donnelly President, Seller's Division

Diane Donnelly serves as President of The Donnelly Group with primary responsibility for the Seller’s Division. With more than 25 years of experience, her knowledge and expertise extend well beyond real estate.

Diane’s career began in the lending industry first as a loan processor and then a loan officer. This experience gave her very unique perspective on the intricacies and challenges required to move a home through the buying and selling process from a financing perspective. This experience is one of the primary reasons Diane is able to navigate a sale forward when her counterparts are standing still. Diane later went on to work with a national builder and won a variety of awards and acceptance into the Burgundy Club (a prestigious achievement for the top 10% of the salespeople of the company). Diane continued to excel and was promoted to various leadership positions in Sales Training and Sales Management.

In 2007, Diane formed The Donnelly Group with the goal of providing clients with a unique team strategy – allowing clients to access full-time dedicated agents in buyer or seller divisions. This business model offers agents that are experienced, trained and dedicated specifically to the unique needs and negotiation requirements for buyers vs. sellers.

“We work with people at very joyful and sometimes very stressful times in their lives. We recognize how life-changing the home buying or selling process can be. We have helped people buy their very first home, sell a home after a death in the family; buy a bigger home for a growing family or downsize due to divorce. No matter what the situation, we go to great lengths to understand the ideal situation for each client and help them achieve their goal. We treat every client with dignity, respect and integrity. That may sound like a no-brainer, but it’s commonly overlooked in our industry,” commented Diane.

Diane is an expert negotiator and committed to effectively communicating with her clients throughout the entire process.

Diane volunteers her time, throughout the year, as a guest speaker for local workshops dedicated to educating home owners on the best ways to sell their houses and gain the most from their investment. Diane is also a photographer, boater and nature lover!

Testimonials

From our first meeting with our agent Diane, we were impressed with her knowledge of the market, her creative marketing strategy, her spirit and enthusiasm. Although it took a while to sell our home, Diane and her Licensed Closing Manager Christine continued to support us, kept us informed of marketing changes, and saw us through some difficult negotiations to a successful sale. The Donnelly Group is the best!
Calvin & Peggy H.
Diane helped us sell our home which was a quick and fairly painless process. Christine was our main contact on the selling side and she was absolutely fabulous. The responses were fast and she was knowledgeable. The team made a stressful situation as easy as possible.

Andrea helped us find our dream home which we absolutely love. I would absolutely recommend the Donnelly Group for buying and selling your homes. They know what they’re doing. They’re not part-timers doing real estate on the side so they will give you their full attention.
Katie & Justin W.
Loved working with Andrea from Donnelly Group! She was always pleasant, working with a smile, taking us everywhere we asked her to, and was excellent at knowing market value and the appropriate price to bid on for properties in AA County!
Ray & Jeanne R.
Diane told me the range I would sell my house and we hit the target she said. Very professional, always responding to my questions with good answers. I have and would highly recommend anyone to use them, they are very professional and will help you with your property. Christine was also very helpful at all steps of the process.
Chris & Danielle F.
The Donnelly Group is amazing! We worked with Andrea and she was incredible! She is super organized, very patient, a pleasure to be around, and asks the right questions. If you’re looking to purchase a home in the Maryland capital region, Anne Arundel Co, PG County, etc, the Donnelly Group is who you want! Andrea talked us through the entire process, gave great advice, negotiated as if it were her own money, and kept us informed throughout the whole process. She was very familiar with the VA loan process and as veterans and first time home buyers, we couldn’t have asked for more! She and the Donnelly Group come highly recommended by us and if we have to resale, we know who we’re going with!
Jeanette R. & Laken S.
Diane has been with us since 2007 when we purchased our first home and unfortunately sold the same home in 2012. She is a true professional that is passionate about her job and her team. To this day we still keep in touch and she is always open to giving us advice to make sure we are taken care of when we move around every few years. Diane is the type of realtor to take home to Mom and Dad and go to war with. Diane you have been such a great help to my family over the years. We are blessed to have a realtor like you in our life. I definitely recommend you to anyone looking for a great trustworthy realtor. Thanks Diane!
Aaron M.
Diane Donnelly and her team helped me with selling my mom’s home after she passed away. Diane worked through the whole process in a professional manner and offered expert advice on pricing, the contract, and final details. All of this while I was a bit emotional. I appreciated all of this and would recommend Donnelly Group to anyone looking to sell or buy a home.
Sherri K.
Diane Donnelly of the Donnelly Group was a phenomenal real estate agent who went above and beyond the call of duty to help us sell our Severn home. As we reside out of state, this could have been difficult, but the Donnelly Group is exceptionally well organized and their use of Docusign made taking care of all necessary paperwork while out of state a piece of cake! Diane has a “Rolodex” chock full of handy, reliable, reasonably-priced, honest service folks, several who we engaged to help us get the home ready for the market. She did most of the “leg-work” to coordinate to help us get our home market-ready. The Donnelly Group stayed on top of comparable properties in the area and provided frequent status updates. And speaking of beyond the call of duty, when our lawn service did not show up to mow the lawn as scheduled, Diane dropped by the property, borrowed a lawn mower from our friendly next door neighbors, and mowed the lawn herself right before a scheduled showing! Our home was empty while on the market; Diane made sure that someone came by from time to time to ensure our home was secure (doors/windows locked up at showings). Diane was very responsive to any questions and her assistant, Christine Jones, was also a pleasure to work with. Diane is honest, reliable, caring, and was by far, the best real estate agent I have ever had.
Chuck & Lori Z.
Buying a home can be extremely stressful. I was lucky enough to have Andrea Loretangeli as my Realtor. She helped me figure out what I needed versus what I wanted in a home. I was taught patience and perseverance. There were a couple of homes that we ran from and others that I just had to have. After months of searching, looking for that perfect home, she hit the nail on the head. There were seven properties that I wanted to see that day and she told me that the first house was the one I was going to buy. She was so right. Thank you Donnelly Group for helping me move into the next chapter of my life. You ROCK!!!
Katie S.
Andrea and her group were fantastic! They made the process easy and enjoyable. They were knowledgeable about the local areas and the schools, which was important to us as were new to the area. Would highly recommend them!!

We have used Andrea and her group for a second time. This time was a repeat of our first experience. Everything about the process was explained and trouble-free. They are professional, knowledgeable and responsive. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking to buy/sell a home.
Teresa & Jim S.
OUTSTANDING! I had an excellent experience selling my home and purchasing a new one with The Donnelly Group. Their expertise in real estate and knowledge of the area was essential in make the home buying process smooth and stress free. They were committed from start to finish to delivered on my needs as a client and I am greatly satisfied with their service and would highly recommend them to anyone buying or selling a home!!!!
David M.
Diane really has the magic touch! She sold our home in 16 days when we were panic stricken to get the deal through. She calmed us down and made us feel that everything was going to be okay. Hire them, you won’t regret it!
Ray & Isabel J.
My experience with the Donnelly Group was professional and seamless. They are very organized and proactive. I never had to ask “what’s next”. My home was sold in 60 days and my new home was located within 30 days.
Tamika S.
Andrea Loretangeli is a five-star realtor. We used Andrea to purchase our brand new construction home (NVHomes). Having worked for a national builder in the past, Andrea knew every detail regarding the purchase of new construction (making the entire process more enjoyable). Prior to purchasing a new home, we spent many hours with Andrea looking at existing properties. She was always willing to work with our schedule, and she was extremely prompt in getting back to us. Andrea was able to answer all of our many questions pertaining to the home buying process. My husband and I enjoyed working with Andrea so much in the past, we recently commissioned her again! Not only do we consider Andrea to be a true real estate professional, but we also now consider her to be a friend.
Jeanette P.
Andrea helped us to view and compare homes. She was very knowledgeable and gave us good advice on what to focus on and consider when buying a home. She is friendly and responsive. She was very patient as we asked many detailed questions! She helped us in deciding whether a resale or new construction was right for us. We are so happy with the home we bought and its location. Thank you Andrea!!

“I have had the pleasure of working with Diane Donnelly for 10 years now. I have had Diane handle homes to sell for over 20+ of my buyers in a very challenging market with 100% success ratio. All of my customers were able to sell their homes and move into their new home. Diane is a super problem solver, creative marketer, and tenacious negotiator. Having been a Realtor, title officer, and new homes sales person, I am very particular as to referring someone to my customers because I want someone who gives the level of expertise and performance results that I would give. I recommend Dianne Donnelly wholeheartedly without reservation.

I consider Diane Donnelly in the top 1% of real estate professionals with whom I have been associated in a 30 year career”.

“Great service! Diane’s and her staff were a great help! After the sale of my house, the appraisal came in low. Through Diane’s experience and problem solving, she remedied the situation quickly and we went to closing.”
