At home in Birmingham.
Here for your next move.
Buying your first home, starting fresh, or getting ready to sell? I bring local knowledge, careful preparation, and a clear plan built around you.
A move that makes sense
A home should fit the life you want to live.
We start with your day-to-day life: where you need to be, what feels comfortable, and what you want this move to change. Then we turn those priorities into a practical buying or selling plan.

About Donnesha
Local roots.
A thoughtful way forward.
Birmingham is home. I was born and raised here, and I love helping people find a place of their own in the communities I know.
My background in project management and customer relations shapes the way I work: listen carefully, keep the details organized, and make sure you understand what comes next. Real estate involves plenty of moving parts. You deserve someone who stays engaged through all of them.
With Ethos International Real Estate, I help buyers and sellers across Birmingham, Hoover, Alabaster, Pelham, Mountain Brook, and Homewood. Whether this is your first purchase, a relocation, or a new construction home, we'll build a plan around your needs.
A plan for your sale
Good preparation makes the next step clearer.
Before we list, we'll look at your home's condition, comparable sales, current competition, and your timeline. From deciding what to prepare to reviewing an offer, I'll help you understand your options and keep the process organized.

First home or fresh start
Get comfortable with the move before making it.
You don't need every answer on day one. We can work through the decisions in an order that makes sense.
We'll talk through your timeline, financing, priorities, and the buying process so you know what to expect before the search gets busy.
Start with the places you need to reach and the routines you want to keep. We'll compare areas and organize a useful shortlist before planning tours.
We'll compare the home, location, builder's timeline, included features, and the questions to ask before choosing a property.
We'll map the two moves together, including preparation, timing, and the options to discuss as your sale and purchase come into focus.
Your home's next chapter
What's your home worth in today's market?
Your address is a starting point. I'll review the property's details, recent comparable sales, and current competition so we can have a useful conversation about value and timing.
Donnesha will review your property details and follow up about your plans.
Put the numbers in context
Start with a payment that feels comfortable.
Explore how price, down payment, interest rate, and loan term change the principal and interest payment. Then talk with your lender about the full monthly cost and your options.
Illustration only. The example rate is not a current rate quote. Taxes, insurance, mortgage insurance, HOA fees, and closing costs are excluded. This is not a loan approval or commitment.
Let's make it clearer
Questions are a good place to start.
I'm buying my first home. Where do I start?
Start with a conversation about your timeline, budget, and what you need from a home. We'll talk through financing, the search, and the steps between finding a property and getting the keys.
Can you help if I'm moving to Birmingham?
Yes. Tell me where you'll need to commute, the areas you're considering, and the details that matter to your daily routine. We'll narrow the options and plan the search around your move.
Do you work with new construction buyers?
Yes. I can help you compare new construction with other homes and organize the questions to ask about features, timelines, and the purchase process.
Do I need to have everything figured out before reaching out?
No. Whether you're ready soon or just starting to explore, we can talk through the pieces you're unsure about and identify a useful next step.
How will you help me prepare to sell?
We'll review your goals, your home's condition, and the current competition. Then we'll put together a preparation and listing plan that fits the property and your timing.
Which communities do you serve?
I work with buyers and sellers in Birmingham, Hoover, Alabaster, Pelham, Mountain Brook, and Homewood. If you're comparing another nearby area, reach out and we can talk through your plans.
