Donald Imgram

Donald Imgram has an extensive background in customer service from his time as Talent Agent and Office Administrator of the prestigious The Gersh Agency, a talent and literary agency, through his years in hospitality management, which included his role as Fine Dining Servicer Instructor at New England Culinary Institute at The Essex Spa & Resort. “I have always been drawn to roles that enable me to pair people with something they desire. My transition to real estate as the ‘colorful real estate matchmaker’ seemed only natural.”  

He launched his real estate career as a member of the Conroy & Company group at Keller Williams Vermont and quickly rose to Lead Buyer’s Agent overseeing four other agents and then Team Manager overseeing a combined total of nine agents and two support staff. After almost six years at Conroy & Company Donald discovered the EXP Realty brokerage and launched his own very successful business, Vermont Dwellings at EXP Vermont which he ran for another five years before relocating to Ecuador.

In 2019 he landed in Salinas on the coast where he lived for four years until he discovered the gem that is Cuenca.

It is his mission to bring the highest standards of client representation to his work in Cuenca real estate.

Testimonials

“Talk about having the right person on your side! We lived in a very rural area and wanted to move closer to the city. Donald was working with a buyer who was looking to make a long-distance move and he asked if would consider listing our house with him but we had already made a verbal agreement with a neighbor who was a Realtor. He suggested a non-advertised one week listing so he could send his buyer pictures, drone footage and a virtual tour. We agreed; the buyers liked what they saw, flew in the next day and made an offer! Genius. We’re also glad we used him to purchase our in-town townhouse. It felt like a stand along house and he fiercely negotiated on a sale that was ‘non-negotiable’. We couldn’t recommend him more highly.”

—Brenda & Peter

“We came to know Donald when we asked if he would show us a specific listing of his. Within a few moments of seeing the interior and having explained what we were ultimately looking for he turned to us and said, “This is not the place for you.” We were, to put it succinctly, bowled over that a Realtor would so assuredly would make this proclamation. He was correct and ultimately found the perfect home in the one neighborhood we mentioned we wouldn’t consider. We love the house and we love the neighborhood! He knew what we wanted even when our words contradicted our vision.”

Testimonials

"My name is Wilson Molina. I was born in Ecuador, but I currently reside in the United States. I am a U.S. citizen and have lived in the United States for over 25 years. I want to tell you about Fausto Ortiz, who has done excellent work for me on multiple occasions, especially in making construction decisions.

I started working with him after learning he was working as a project manager in the United States. I wanted someone who understood what I was looking for, but also knew how to work with the people and standards of Ecuador. He always strives to save money without compromising design, style, or quality. He keeps me informed about quality, pricing, and expense options for every part of the project. He listens to my suggestions and finds a way to explain things so I can get what I want in a timely manner.

He has extensive experience in planning, design, and construction, from foundations to infrastructure work to project completion. He also has extensive knowledge in all areas, such as electricity, plumbing, and gardening, which helps him achieve what he wanted.

Fausto knows the city of Cuenca very well and, along with his team, is an excellent project manager. He works with lawyers and architects—a great team. If they're missing something, he researches it and gets it. Fausto is also a licensed real estate agent and facilitator.

Wilson Molina, I recommend Fausto Ortiz because he has demonstrated his honesty, knowledge, and ingenuity to me on numerous occasions over the years. That's all I can say in honor of the truth.

Sincerely, Wilson Molina"

Mary S. Prewitt

Mary Prewitt was a licensed Realtor in Colorado for 13 years. She was the top seller at her firm for ten of those years. She specialized in selling rural properties. Her foremost priorities are ethics, the education of her clients, and a focus on their individual needs. Fun doing that was a big part of it!

A whole new world, different and compelling, awaited when she moved to Ecuador. Ecuador is a country with different laws, language, and cultural expectations from the U.S. Her US real estate experience was helpful when she bought her own property, but the cultural expectations and differences were a challenge. Now, after 8 years of living in a rural area near Cuenca, she's ready to help clients bridge the gap into their new world.

Come. Let's work together to find the right place that suits your needs. And let's have fun doing it!

Testimonials

"I loved working with Mary! She made house hunting a fun adventure, and never pressured me into something that wouldn't be a good fit."

—Amy Bader Clarkson

"Mary was very compassionate, and also gave tough love and reality checks when necessary.

I had the privilege of working with Mary on two occasions: one as a first time buyer, the second as a seller.

During both experiences Mary was patient and professional. She took the time to explain the entire process, promptly returned calls and messages, and kept me informed throughout the process.

Mary is also a skilled and wise negotiator, and she doesn't get overwhelmed or frustrated while navigating through challenging situations such as personal conflict between co-sellers resulting from a very challenging breakup. Mary very willingly stepped up to be the mediator which enabled us both to communicate directly to her which made for a much quicker, smoother, and less emotional selling process.

If you have the opportunity to work with Mary you can be confident that she will be a skilled and passionate advocate for you throughout the entire process."
