Since moving from Minnesota to Palm Springs in 1989, Donna has worn many real estate related hats. She owned and operated Larson Management Services, managing community associations; which grew over 10 years and eventually sold. Donna acquired her real estate license in 2001 and her broker’s license in 2008. Her knowledge and experience positioned Donna to provide clients with leasing and management services for investment and second home properties. In 2011, she opened her own brokerage, Palm Springs Homes and Leasing.
Six years later, she sold the property management part of the business and now focuses on assisting buyers and sellers with their "Nesting and Investing" real estate goals as Larson Desert Realty.
