Meet Donald

Originally from New Haven, Conn. I have spent most of my life in Sales. I credit product knowledge and my attention to detail for my 35 years of sucess in sales. I have owned and operated three sucessful car dealearships, Branford Dodge, East Shore Mitsubishi and The Dependable Motors Company for over 30 years. In 2005, I moved to Estero, Florida and have since sold new Boston Whaler boats for Bonita Boat Center and was a top sales producer for Boston Whaler in S.W. Florida. I have also been a licensed yacht broker and certified marine surveyor for Gilman Yachts Sales and managed their office in Ft. Myers, Florida.

With 35 years of sales experience in both the automobile and boat businesses, Real Estate was a natural for me. I am very comfortable on both sides of the negociating table. Wether I'm representing you as a buyer or as a seller I can help make your deal come togeather with my years of experience in sales, appraisal, technology, marketing and finance.

Today's Realtors need to be more than just some one who can show or list a house. They must be profishent in areas such as;

• Creative financing ideas for todays challenged buyers
• Techniques for marketing properties to sell quickly
• The latest technology available for listing and locating property 
• Chinese dry wall
• Pricing and negociating
• CDPE "Certified Distressed Property Expert," expert in the forclosure and short sale processes

These are just some of the things that make a different in the Realtor that you will choose to help you buy your dream home or sell your current home. Realty World's company sloan says it all: "The right agent makes all the difference in the world." and that's never been more true than it is today in our current challenging market.

Engaging the services of a Realtor today because they are your neighbor's brother or your niece or cousin is not alway a wise business descision and could wind up costing you a lot of money in the end.

I am your luxury home expert. When it comes to buying or selling property in Estero and the surrounding areas, you can't find a better Realtor. My slogan is "When you go with Dest you've gone with the best."
