Al Donohue’s Summary
I joined Marron Gildea & Donohue as a partner in 2007 and we recently changed the name to reflect this. Prior to joining Marron Gildea & Donohue I spent 3 years with RE/MAX real estate and have consistently been ranked as one of the top real estate agents in Bergen County. At Marron Gildea & Donohue we specialize in helping people buy and sell real estate in the Ridgewood/Saddle River (NJ) area.
I decided to make a career change in 2004 because I had always had an interest in real estate and I knew that a career in real estate would provide the flexibility that would allow me to spend more time with my family. Prior to entering the real estate field, I was a corporate and financial sales executive. My clients included many of the world’s top banks and brokerage firms.
The fact that I was able to compete and succeed at a very high level in the corporate world has provided me with a distinct advantage over my competitors. The majority of my clients today are busy professionals and business owners and they appreciate the fact that I speak their language and understand the incredible demands on their time. I stay in constant touch with my clients not only through phone calls and face-to-face meetings but also through email, instant messaging, and web pages created specifically for my clients. Clients can view the status of the sale of their home, read feedback from agents that have shown their home and review the status of their personal marketing plan 24-hours-a-day via their personal web page.
I understand that technology is just a tool and it is really my focus on providing world class customer service that has enabled me to achieve great results for my clients.
