With more than 23 years of experience, Donna Dalonzo has become a prominent name in the Canadian real estate sector. As the Provincial Director of eXp Realty in Quebec, Donna leads with purpose, focusing on helping real estate professionals grow their businesses while preparing for the future of the industry.

Her career began in fashion but soon transitioned into finance, eventually leading her into mortgage brokerage and home appraisal. The move into real estate came naturally. It was a field that matched her ambitions and offered the entrepreneurial space she had always envisioned. Donna’s early years were marked by success as a franchise owner, where she managed six thriving Remax offices. Later, she joined Keller Williams in Quebec, gaining further insight into team development and operations.

Today, she brings all of that experience to eXp Realty, a company that is changing how real estate is done.

Shaping the Future of Real Estate

What sets eXp Realty apart is its modern approach. It is built as a virtual brokerage that provides agents with essential tools including personal websites, CRM systems, lead generation solutions, and stock rewards. Donna is proud to lead in a company where agents retain their own branding, giving them full control over their professional identity.

At eXp Realty, Donna wears many hats. She is a coach, a leader, and a strategist who supports agents not only in Quebec but across several countries. She helps them expand their businesses globally without ever compromising on values or vision.

A Journey of Passion and Persistence

Donna’s story is not just about professional milestones. She is also a mother of two and someone who believes deeply in the strength of women. Her personal life and professional journey both reflect resilience, adaptability, and a passion for mentorship.

From her beginnings in fashion to her current role at the helm of a tech-powered real estate firm, Donna has consistently chosen growth. She never shied away from challenges. In fact, she believes they are part of the process. One of her proudest achievements was launching eXp Realty in Quebec in 2019, a move that came with unique challenges including integrating dual-language systems and adapting to Quebec’s distinct MLS framework. Still, she led the effort successfully, bringing in 40 agents within the first year.

Recognition and Impact

Her impact has not gone unnoticed. Donna was named Best Provincial Broker of Record of the Year by eXp Canada in 2021. She attributes this success to her focus on collaboration, agent empowerment, and transparency. These are not just buzzwords for Donna. They are foundational values she lives by.

In addition to her leadership, Donna is known for her deep understanding of the real estate market, her love for travel, and her ever-expanding digital presence. Her ability to manage an international team while staying rooted in her values has inspired many agents to follow in her footsteps.

What Makes eXp Realty Different

Traditional brokerages often require heavy overhead, multiple office spaces, and cut into agent earnings as they scale. Donna saw early on that many high-performing agents were being penalized for their success through outdated commission structures. eXp Realty offered a smarter solution. With its virtual infrastructure, the company saves costs on physical locations and reinvests those savings into agent growth through tools, resources, and even equity.

Rather than forcing agents to conform to one brand, eXp encourages them to own their identity. Their transactions are brokered by eXp, but the agents stay in control of their image. This approach has led to many experienced brokers and top-producing teams joining the company from other legacy brands.

A Look Ahead

Donna has no plans to slow down. Her goal is to make eXp Realty Quebec the most desirable brokerage to work with. She believes in building communities where agents support each other, learn together, and grow as a team.

When asked about the future, Donna’s response is simple yet powerful: “I don’t see obstacles, I see opportunities.”

With that mindset, it is clear that Donna Dalonzo is not just navigating the changing tides of real estate. She is leading the way.
