Donna Buras

Realtor Donna Buras, Century 21 Blackwell

I’m a Pennsylvania native with a background in the federal government and a life full of moves, travel, and new experiences. I’ve lived along the East Coast, spent time in Germany, and traveled extensively throughout Europe—all of which taught me how to adapt quickly, appreciate different lifestyles, and understand what truly makes a place feel like home. After purchasing many homes myself, I bring a personal, firsthand understanding of the buying and selling process to every client I serve.

Today, I proudly call Boiling Springs home and love everything about this community—the charm, the people, and the welcoming atmosphere that makes it such a special place to live. I’m honored to serve Spartanburg and the surrounding areas, helping clients find the right home and feel confident every step of the way.

My clients are incredibly important to me, and I treat them like family. I’m passionate about guiding people through one of the biggest decisions of their lives, and seeing their excitement at the end of the buying or selling process is the most rewarding part of what I do. My approach is friendly, steady, and professional, with a focus on clear communication and creating a smooth, stress-free experience.

Outside of real estate, I’m a mother of three girls and one boy, and a grandmother to twin granddaughters who bring endless joy. I enjoy staying active—exercising, playing pickleball, spending time outdoors, and tending to my garden—which keeps me energized and ready to serve my clients.
