Donna McBrite GRI, AHWD, SRES
Broker
Profile
Originally from Buffalo, NY, Donna has lived in North Carolina for 25 years. Her first visit to NC included a trip to Boone, NC, where she fell in love with the mountains. She continued to vacation in many of the small mountain towns over the years, looking for new places to hike and adventure. She first moved to Charlotte and then to Raleigh, where she has lived until last year. Donna and her husband, Steve, decided it was finally time to follow their dreams to make the move to a town they fell in love with, Brevard, NC.
After a long career in management, Donna decided to bring her customer service experience and love for the area together. She received her real estate training at Cumbie and Trull School of Real Estate, in Asheville. What better place to be, to help others find a place to call home and continue to explore all that surrounds this great area.
Donna loves to travel and needs just six more states to complete her goal of visiting all 50 states. When not out hiking or visiting the many shops and restaurants all around Western NC, Donna loves to bake and spend time at home enjoying the wildlife visitors in her yard. We host and feed several types of birds and have a resident pair of bluebirds, as well as several squirrels (including 3 white squirrels!).
