Donnel is a long-time resident of Williamson County and has been consistently recognized as one of the top-producing agents in her community since she started her real estate career in 2002. Highly professional yet personable, she understands the important role that local knowledge, commitment, follow-through and strong relationships play in a service-based industry. Her skills as a strong communicator and negotiator–together with her experience, attention to detail and problem-solving abilities–are why past clients continually reward her with repeat and referral business.
Donnel is passionate about helping others and actively supports local and international non-profits including Room in the Inn, Safe Haven Ministries, Healing Housing, the American Cancer Society, the United Way of Williamson County and Raise the Roof Academy in Uganda. She is a member of Brentwood United Methodist Church and is active in the Williamson County Chamber and business networking opportunities throughout Nashville.
In 1980 Donnel married Bob and they later moved to Nashville where they have called Green Hills, Brentwood and Franklin “home.” Together they have two well-loved sons with two well-loved wives and lots of happy grandchildren. A former expert on swimming, diving, football, track, forensics, musicals, rock bands and dirty socks, Donnel now enjoys beating her husband in Scrabble®.
Donnel loves UNSECRETING™ the great city of Nashville for her clients and referral partners and works primarily with luxury homes, move-up buyers, empty nesters, new construction and corporate relocation.
“The team at the Milam Group are some of the best in the Nashville housing business. We were selling and downsizing after 30 years in our Brentwood home. The team moved in and held our hand as we got ready to price and put our home on the market. We worked hard to declutter and put some polish on our home then turned it over to the team to market and bring us the best offers. At the same time we were trying to find a place to transition into. The Milam group provided us with a great opportunity to make an offer on a perfect townhouse in the same area, within our budget and still meeting our criteria! We were able to close on both properties within 2 days! Donnel, Robert, and their support team made the entire process so easy, all the way through the closings and even providing a list of movers, decorators and other services. We could not be more pleased with the entire process. The Milam Team Delivers!” ~ Client Review
“We recently had the pleasure of working with Donnel Milam during our search for a new home, and we cannot recommend her highly enough. From the very beginning, Donnel demonstrated exceptional professionalism, expertise, and dedication to helping us find the perfect property. Donnel took the time to understand our needs and preferences, and her knowledge of the local market was truly impressive. She provided valuable insights and guidance throughout the entire process, making what could have been a stressful experience incredibly smooth and enjoyable.” ~ Client Review
“Donnel Milam and her team were EXCELLENT! She calmly guided me through the selling process with great advice while still being a good listener. Her Team was easy to contact and responsive. I never felt pressured. My former home is in a flood plain, so that made selling it more challenging, but Donnel kept me up to date and worked HARD to make the quick sale at an excellent price. A+” ~ Client Review
“Donnel’s knowledge of the area was extremely helpful to us. She had prepared us well before our house hunting trip so we had a good sense of values and neighborhoods. We were buyers in an extreme sellers’ market, but she guided us through the process and we were literally under contract by the end of our first on the ground house-hunting day, even though our house had other offers. Things went very smoothly and we closed three weeks later. Donnel was highly experienced and had a good relationship with the sellers’ agent which we believe made the process go more smoothly. She gave good counsel as to when to stretch, when to back off and where to compromise. We would definitely work with her again.” ~ Client Review
“I have worked with Donnel Milam three times in the last 10 years. The first was my move back to Nashville after retirement. The second was to a larger house in a close neighborhood. The third was in a move to a retirement community. Donnel is an excellent agent who has tremendous negotiating skills and knows how to both sell your house for the most money and buy your new house at the best possible price. She is an outstanding agent.” ~ Client Review
“Donnel makes you feel like you are in good hands. Her experience, knowledge, and insight of the local market, niche neighborhoods, staging, etc. help you prepare and get the most for your home. During the negotiation stage she is calm and poised, guiding you through each step and also strong and aggressive, getting you the best deal and protecting your interests. I’ve used her for two moves now and am so thankful for her and her team.” ~ Client Review
“This is the second time we’ve worked with Donnel and we could not be happier. She is so easy to work with and talk to. And, as a buyer, she really advocated for us, making sure we got the home we wanted. And as a seller, she made the showing process painless. Her team is amazing! They set up everything for us and we’re on top of everything. I can’t imagine working with another real estate agent & team!” ~ Client Review
