Donna Gemborys has been selling Cape Cod real estate since 1997, and the reviews that follow her — spanning 2021 to 2025, never below five stars — keep returning to the same thing: how deep her local knowledge runs. She now works out of William Raveis Real Estate's Orleans office, covering Eastham, Orleans, Brewster, Harwich, Dennis, Chatham and Wellfleet — the Lower and Outer Cape towns she's called home her whole life. One 2021 review names her at a different brokerage, Kinlin Grover, which reads as an earlier chapter rather than a different agent; she is clearly the same Donna described throughout. What clients single out isn't generic friendliness — it's specifics. One buyer credits her with steering a purchase through wetlands regulations, conservation restrictions and building-permit questions, the kind of local-code fluency that comes only from years of Cape closings. Another describes her bringing a buyer to their home before it was ever publicly listed, calling the process flawless. A third, visibly hard to write, describes her handling the sale of a parent's Dennis home after a death in the family — a childhood house, sold with what the reviewer called compassion at a sensitive time. Her network gets mentioned too: clients describe her connecting them with vendors, contractors and other agents who smoothed the process along the way. More than one client came back for a second transaction; one called her simply the best agent they'd worked with on the Cape. She carries a full set of real estate designations — GRI, Certified Buyer Representative, e-PRO, Certified Luxury Home Specialist, Certified Homeownership Professional — and William Raveis has placed her in its Chairman's Elite Club, the company's top 10% of producers, in both 2023 and 2025. She's a fit for a Lower or Outer Cape sale with some complexity to it — an inherited property, a wetlands-constrained lot, a luxury listing — where the local knowledge her clients keep describing actually matters.
Great service!!!
Professional and personable, she provided exceptional service from start to finish. Easy to work with, great attention to detail with wonderful local connections/recommendations. A lovely person to work with and a dedicated, hard worker whether you’re buying or selling. I highly recommend her!
Donna is a very strong agent who puts her clients first… She brought a buyer to our home without even listing and the entire process was flawless. Highly recommend!
Donna is the best! It has actually been hard to write this, and I've delayed a lot because the process of selling my mom's house in Dennis was difficult. It was incredibly emotional, as it was our childhood home, and deeply loved. Unfortunately, after her passing, my siblings and I were not able to hold onto it together, and all of this made the undertaking of selling it that much tougher. I felt it was important to include this because Donna (and her partner Sandy) were compassionate and understanding at a very sensitive time. The house was built in the 60s, and while it had been upgraded in the early 2000s (with the addition of 2nd floor), other areas had fallen into disrepair. Donna worked with us to bring those areas up to code, going to the house in our place (we live off-Cape) to wait for vendors and to check on progress. She facilitated getting the house repainted, had cleaners come in, and then staged and photographed my mom's house so that it was looking just spectacular. I actually saved all the photos from the listing, because the house looked so beautiful. Thanks to her hard work, the house was snapped up almost as soon as it was put on the website, before even the first showing, at a price higher than what had been listed. We weren't able to cancel that first showing in time, and there were two other parties interested in it as well. I am so, so grateful to Donna, for showing my mom's house in its best possible light, as well as for helping me and my siblings navigate a pretty messy emotional process. She was compassionate and patient, and I really appreciate it. I highly recommend her for selling a house - she is a seasoned and caring professional, who will showcase the soul of a home.
Exemplary realtor. As my listing agent, Donna has been extremely professional, honest, knowledgeable of the housing market in Eastham and the surrounding area and an absolute joy to work with. Her extensive network of contacts proved useful in mitigating any problems that arose. She goes above and beyond for her clients and has got to be the hardest working realtor on Cape Cod. I Highly recommend her; you won’t be disappointed.
