Lake Lotawana Real Estate

I'm Carrie Donigan, and Lake Lotawana isn't just where I sell homes — it's where I live, boat, and spend my weekends. With more than 20 years of real estate experience across the Kansas City area, I bring both local knowledge and market expertise to every buyer and seller I work with here.

Meet Carrie

Twenty Years in Kansas,
A Lifetime at the Lake

For more than 20 years, I've helped buyers and sellers navigate real estate across the Kansas City metro — but Lake Lotawana is where I actually live. As a Top Producer with Platinum Realty, I bring the same market expertise, sharp negotiation, and honest guidance to every lake transaction that I do citywide, with one difference: I'm not just selling this lifestyle, I'm living it. I boat these waters, know these docks, and spend my weekends exactly where you're hoping to spend yours. You may also recognize me from my upcoming feature on House Hunters, airing August 28th.

Let's Talk
