Donald Brennan

Donald has spent more than 25 years representing buyers and sellers of townhouses, condominiums, and co-ops, and has been involved in over $3.5 billion of luxury residential sales and development across Manhattan, Brownstone Brooklyn, the North Fork, Hoboken and Palm Beach.

He is the broker-owner of Engel & Völkers across New York City, Brooklyn, Hoboken, the North Fork, and Palm Beach — a single-ownership brokerage built around one idea: that the relationship a client begins in one market should follow them, intact, into the next. Today's luxury buyer or seller rarely lives in just one place. Their life moves between the City, the East End, and South Florida — and Donald has spent years building a brokerage that moves with them, with one owner personally accountable at every handoff rather than a referral passed off to a stranger. It's a vision of connected markets served as a single wealth corridor, and it's the throughline of everything his firm does.

That perspective is sharpened by his parallel work as a developer and principal investor. Having underwritten, built, and sold residential and commercial projects himself, Donald reads a deal — and a client's exposure in it — the way a principal does, not just an agent.

What hasn't changed in 25 years is the part that matters most: every client is different, and every engagement is built around that client's specific goals. Donald and his team take the time to understand what each person is actually trying to accomplish, then bring decades of local knowledge, modern marketing, and Engel & Völkers' global network to bear on getting them there.
