That same year, he founded his own real estate company in Virginia, specializing in property management, residential sales, and log home construction in the scenic Blue Ridge Mountains.
By 1996, Don became a licensed Virginia Real Estate Instructor and relocated to Virginia Beach, where he expanded his expertise by teaching pre-licensing, continuing education, MLS training, and computer courses. His passion for education and commitment to student success quickly became central to his career.
In 2001, Don relocated to Florida, earning his Florida Broker, Real Estate Instructor, and Real Estate Appraiser Instructor licenses.
