Get to Know Me

Experience matters, and with 30 years of satisfied customers and over $1 Billion in sales, Don has the repeat customers and enthusiastic referrals to prove that's true.
 
Don is loved for his down-to-earth, principled approach to business, where integrity is his most important asset. This shows through uncompromising, personal policies, like never working both sides of a transaction, despite the tempting economic incentives. It's also demonstrated by how he listens to each client's unique goals, and these alone become the metric of success for every transaction.
 
Don first earned his reputation as a trustworthy agent, while working for the firm he founded in the luxury Manhattan Real Estate market. He later led the sales and marketing teams for the prestigious Madison Avenue firms of Brown, Harris, Stevens, and Stribling and Associates, Ltd. In 2001 Don relocated to beautiful San Francisco and later migrated to Silicon Valley, where he is still a top-producing Real Estate Agent with Sotheby's International Realty.
 
Don is a valuable resource for executives and families relocating to the San Francisco Bay Area from New York or other similar realities. Don has an extensive network of critically important working relationships that are required for success. And he also keenly understands the nuances of the market, which allows him to proactively provide you with the best representation in every phase of the transaction.
