Doni Muzzy
Lead agent · Realtor · eXp Realty
The builder's eye, the honest talk, and the willingness to crawl into the basement with you. If it involves a house, it's her job.
Est. 1998 · The toolbox years
She started with a toolbox, not a license.
Doni Muzzy's real estate career began in 1998 with a love of understanding houses, continued through 20 years of buying, renovating, and flipping properties, and turned into a licensed Realtor practice at eXp Realty in 2017. Today she sells across Macomb, Oakland, and Wayne counties with The SBD Collective, known for seeing solutions where other agents see problems.
Origin story
1998
It started with a toolbox
Doni started buying, renovating, and flipping properties before HGTV made it fashionable. She always loved houses, and she loved understanding how they work: seeing the potential, figuring out how to make something better.
2017
A license, then a fire
She became a licensed Realtor in 2017. That same year, her own home was destroyed by fire, and she took over as general contractor on her family's rebuild: construction, budgets, permits, contractors, and the emotional work of rebuilding a home from the ground up.
Today
The Farmhouse
She has lived in apartments, modest houses, and now the 1880s Farmhouse her family calls home. The through-line: the value of a home isn't measured in square footage or finishes. It's measured in the life that happens inside.
The superpower
"My superpower is seeing solutions where other people see problems."
Combining decades of hands-on construction knowledge, creative problem-solving, and genuine care, Doni helps clients navigate even the most complicated real estate challenges with confidence. Sometimes that means negotiating a great deal. Sometimes it means crawling into a basement, understanding a mechanical issue, coordinating repairs, or rolling up her sleeves and getting her hands dirty.
And sometimes it simply means listening, because buying or selling a home is rarely just a financial decision. It's often the beginning or the ending of an important chapter in someone's life. Her job is to help people write their next chapter.

The SBD Collective
A team of rockstars behind every client.
Doni approaches clients differently than the typical agent, and she serves everyone at a higher level because she's not doing it alone. Doni leads as the agent of record, and Emma partners at her side. Together, the collective keeps every transaction moving and every client in the loop.

Emma Velasco
Partner · Licensed assistant
The one who keeps anything from falling through the cracks: paperwork, timelines, appointments, and the thousand details that decide whether a closing is smooth or a thriller.
Together they host the monthly client coffee and the annual charity holiday party, and they'll happily meet you at a property with coffee in hand.
Every house has a story
"I didn't get into real estate because I love selling houses."
"I got into real estate because I understand houses, I love helping people, and I believe every home has a story. My job is to help people write their next chapter."
That next chapter starts with a call, an email, or a question sent from this site. Every house has a story. Let's talk about yours.
