Karen Donnellan

Real Estate Professional

I was raised in a real estate family in Jamestown, Rhode Island. My Dad was a builder, Realtor, and appraiser. He instilled in me the importance of a strong work ethic, and his values guide me to this day: be kind to all, and do everything with both honesty and a sense of humor.

I graduated from the University of Rhode Island with a degree in Merchandising and Interior Design. I worked in the retail industry for many years, managing stores for Disney, Gap Inc., and Ann Taylor. I was honored to earn numerous awards, including Best Increase in Sales Over Goal for the Disney Stores, Best of the Best for Gap Inc., and the Rhode Island Monthly Magazine’s Best Customer Service (Men’s and Women’s Retail Store) for Banana Republic.

I believe my retail experience has been invaluable in my real estate sales career. The skill set that allowed me to excel in customer service translates well to providing client care at the highest possible level. Additionally, in my role as Regional Manager for Mott & Chace Sotheby’s International Realty, I am well positioned to lead our Sales Associates to accomplish their goals in service of our clients.

A South County resident since 2004, I am an enthusiastic member of our coastal community. I love spending time with my husband and children. I’m fond of all things Disney, and I visit the parks regularly. I also love entertaining, and putting my interior design skills to work helping family and friends with updates to their homes. Fun fact: I actually enjoy painting and hanging wallpaper.

I look forward to sharing the best that South County has to offer with my clients.
