Art Studio Owners
It makes sense to start by saying that I cannot say enough good things about Donna. We joke that I owe her my first-born child for all the good things she has made happen for me. When I met Donna, she was still working for M&G. I was warehouse shopping in order to relocate my business (artists' studios and gallery). I had met with one of the principles there and he steered me toward one property and told me that the owner was next to impossible to deal with but if I was going to try for it that I should hook up with Donna DeStefano because she has the power to calm stormy waters. Donna proved her honesty and diplomacy to me in that first offer we put together. I didn't make a purchase at that time because the studios stayed where they were but when I started looking for a place to live I gave her another call. I am what is sometimes referred to as an "urban pioneer", a young artist that is moving gentrification north by going into rough neighborhoods and setting up shop. We make art, start little community improvement projects and try to generally affect the situation in our immediate surroundings to make life a little brighter for both our neighbors and ourselves.
Many of us live in large warehouse spaces that we use as live/work space. I didn’t want to live in a row home, which can be an issue in a city that is 90% row house. . Domestic spaces just don’t appeal to me.
Therefore, when we went looking I was specific and picky and didn't have a ton of money to spend.
Donna worked with me and really understood what I was looking for. It’s important for me that I work with someone that I trust and understands what I need. I get both of those things from working with Donna. I can always trust that she will tell me the truth, even if it’s not something that I want to hear. Another thing just to drive this home is that I have always felt like Donna and I were collaborating to get these deals done. I never felt like I was being "sold" like the used car salesman vibe that I had often received from many real estate sales people, which just makes me uncomfortable. Donna kept telling me to be patient. We looked at a few places and then this great building came up. It took up a few months to get the place under contract but now it's mine. For all intents and purposes, I purchased my dream house, a three story, 3600sq ft former machine shop, and it wouldn't have happened without Donna.
