For Donna Hamaker, real estate isn’t about transactions—it’s about people. It’s about listening—really listening—to her clients’ hopes, concerns, and goals when it comes to buying or selling a home. Whether navigating a first-time purchase, downsizing, moving up, or investment, Donna approaches every relationship with genuine care, unwavering integrity, and a determined commitment to doing what’s in her clients’ best interest.

A native Arlingtonian and graduate of James Madison University, Donna has called Northern Virginia home her entire adult life. With three children who have attended both public and private schools in Arlington and Fairfax County, she brings an insider’s perspective to the local neighborhoods, school systems, and community life that matter most to buyers and sellers alike.

Donna’s background in photography and corporate marketing gives her a competitive edge when it comes to real estate marketing, staging, and presentation. Her eye for detail and skillful storytelling help every listing shine—online and in person.

Ranked in the top 3% of real estate agents nationwide and a Lifetime Top Producer with the Northern Virginia Association of Realtors, Donna is proud to be recognized among the best in her field. Her accolades include being named a Top Real Estate Agent by Northern Virginia Magazine, Washingtonian, and Arlington Magazine (all 2018-2025). She is also honored to be nominated as a Virginia Living Magazine Top Realtor.

Donna’s commitment to community is just as strong as her dedication to her clients. She actively supports local organizations such as Homeward Trails Animal Rescue and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, where she served as a Woman of the Year candidate. She is active with Arlington Chamber of Commerce and is a proud Leadership Center for Excellence alumna, keeping her deeply connected to the pulse of the community.
