Hi, I'm Danette!
I'm Danette Manna, a REALTOR® with Charles Rutenberg Realty, proudly serving the Tampa Bay area—including Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Pasco counties. I help both buyers and sellers navigate the real estate process with clarity, confidence, and strategy.
With a background in business and project management, I bring strong communication, sharp negotiation skills, and a results-driven approach to every transaction. Whether you're preparing to list your home or looking to buy, I’ll guide you every step of the way—protecting your time, investment, and peace of mind.
You deserve a smooth, informed experience—and an agent who knows how to advocate for what matters most to you.
My commitment to client service doesn’t end at the closing table. I stay connected and available long after the transaction to ensure you're supported every step of the way. In a fast-moving market, I believe buyers and sellers deserve clear, timely information to make confident, informed decisions—and that’s exactly what I deliver.
Professional Services
Buyers Representative
As your Buyer’s Agent, I’m here to make the home search feel less overwhelming and a lot more strategic. With a strong understanding of the local market and what drives value, I’ll help you focus on properties that match your goals, lifestyle, and purchasing power—so you’re not wasting time on the wrong ones.
From the first showing to closing day, I’ll walk you through each step—explaining the process, negotiating on your behalf, and making sure you feel confident in every decision. My job is to protect your best interests, minimize stress, and help you make a smart move you feel great about.
Sellers Representative
Selling your home is a big move—and you shouldn’t have to do it alone. As your listing agent, I bring strategy, market insight, and strong negotiation skills to help you sell with confidence and clarity.
From pricing your home right to creating a standout listing and attracting serious buyers, I handle the details that make a real difference. I’ll guide you through every step—from prep and showings to offers, negotiations, and closing—always keeping your best interests front and center.
You deserve a smooth, well-managed sale that protects your time, equity, and peace of mind. I’m here to make that happen.
