“Dondi is such an asset to the RE/MAX Prestige family. She has many great ideas to help agents stay motivated and inspired and she always coaches with such a positive attitude! Her coaching is relevant and it’s nice to have meetings to bounce ideas off her and other agents in the office. Dondi, thanks for all you do and continuing to challenge me to be the best agent I can be for my clients and myself."

"Since working with Dondi as my real estate coach, my business has grown tremendously. She helped me develop a solid plan and we crushed it. Exceeded my goal for 2024 and was up 56% over last year and not done yet! She is motivational, honest and truly cares about your growth."

Within 30 days, Dondi had recruits lined up...


Dondi Hopkins has been an integral part in the creation of The Petrillo Group RE/MAX Town & Country. Dondi and I met 3 years ago when I was working as an individual agent along with an unlicensed, full-time assistant. She convinced me, after much back and forth, that it was time for me to start a team.  I had been an individual agent for 16 years and didn't have the knowledge or resources to recruit, train, and manage a team.  Dondi graciously took on this role for me. Dondi's energy and enthusiasm are unmatched in this industry.  Dondi is an amazing coach and truly wants to see every agent succeed, not just in real estate, but in life.  Within 30 days, Dondi had recruits lined up and a vision for the team.  She helped me structure the business and put systems in place.  Fast forward 3 years and 2 full years as a team leader, I now have 8 amazing agents, 2 full time assistants and a thriving real estate business.  I can't thank Dondi enough for pushing me out of my comfort zone and helping put my team together.

...Her coaching has been the compass guiding our agents to success.


Dondi's coaching prowess has been the compass guiding our agents to success; her wisdom not only elevates careers in real estate but weaves threads of friendship, making her an invaluable asset to our firm's family.

...She has a solution to every problem.


Dondi is a wonderful coach, mentor, friend, and human being. She has a solution to every problem, and if the solution doesn't exist, she will create it. Her extensive knowledge coming from over 30 years of experience in the real estate world is a gold mine, and her passion and dedication to see you succeed is relentless.  She is direct no nonsense, straight shooter.  If you're looking for a coach who just tells you what you want to hear, that's not Dondi.  She will push you to succeed regardless of market conditions and limitations.  I couldn't recommend her highly enough!

She systematically transformed my business & my life...


When I decided to get my real estate license I thought once I finished the course I would be “off and running” with people eager to have me help them, but what I actually found was that I was LOST! I had no idea how to get a listing, how to prepare to get a listing, how to market to get a listing, how to work with buyers, how to do an MLS search, organize showings, how to show, how to do an effective open house how to talk to other real estate agents to benefit us both and most of all tactics of negotiation.

I wasn’t completely hopeless, I just needed direction, training, and guidance and I found it with Dondi! She took all her knowledge, everything she had learned in her lifetime of experience and systematically transformed my business and my life! She is caring, diligent and a whirlwind of energy all focused on sharing her knowledge and wisdom. I’m forever grateful to her for her lessons and for the past 12 years of my real estate career. Not sure I would still be an agent without her.

Dondi is an outstanding coach...


"Dondi is an outstanding coach who consistently goes above and beyond to support her mentees. I joined The Hopkins Team after being in the business for over 13 years and worked with two different real estate brokers. First and foremost, Dondi's high energy and positive attitude is contagious. You can't help but get excited about real estate when you're with her! She helped me find the confidence I needed when working with a seller and helped me fine-tune my skills when marketing to potential clients. I would highly recommend Dondi to anyone looking to grow their business. It has been great fun working with Dondi :)"

My business has grown under her coaching...


“When choosing a coach, ideally you want someone who has proven techniques to get you from where you are to where you want to be. This is not a one size fits all however. What sets Dondi Hopkins apart from every other coach out there, is that she understands that. When you sit down with her, it’s a conversation about budget, personality, strengths and weaknesses. She gains an immediate insight to who you are and tailors her coaching around what best suits your skillset and works with you to strengthen any weaknesses you have. My business has grown under her coaching and my life has been positively impacted all around. 

 

She has a delivery to her approach that gets you excited to start doing, she keeps you measured and grounded, as we all know we need as the real estate market ebbs and flows. You will not be disappointed in having a conversation with Dondi! "

Dondi is a dynamo

business consultant


“Dondi Hopkins is a dynamo business consultant. She has helped me gain focus and set a course for my businesses direction with actionable steps, which I have taken and see direct results in growing my business. Brainstorming about community events to creating a women-led business group in my community, content for postcards, it has been very encouraging to know that she’s just a phone call away and can react quickly to my spur of the moment questions and help me give ideas shape. She has many years of experience at a high-level success.  She has a wealth of knowledge and advice at her fingertips!  She’s been a compassionate sounding board during some difficult times. I’m grateful to have her on my team!

Julia Krusac, Realtor | RE/MAX Town & Country

Phenomenal Business Coaching...


“I wanted to take this time out to acknowledge Dondi Hopkins and everything she has brought to our Remax Prestige family. Since she arrived, she has excited us with her endless energy, passion for growth and learning, great ideas and phenomenal business coaching. I am very fortunate to have gotten to know her on a business and personal level and cannot imagine going to work without knowing she is a phone call away to offer help, ideas, to listen and/or offer advice. We are all very fortunate to have her on our side cheering us on daily!

Dondi is worth your investment...


"...I was very fortunate to meet Dondi Hopkins Bernier…. a self-taught, clever-minded Realtor  to help mentor and guide my first crazy years in the South Florida market....Dondi provides ideas suited to your personality, but also sometimes suggests moving out of your comfort zone to help you grow in your career. It is invaluable to have day to day guidance with the effort to self-promote your business and keep growing your client base. Staying driven daily can be challenging with no one calling you to task, so to speak. That is where Dondi stepped in with our team to give us easy marketing ideas, things to do on “down time”, meeting with good resources for learning opportunities and a daily schedule. She also understands the importance of friends and family time so one doesn’t burn out. 


Dondi is a steam engine of energy, full of creative ideas and caring. If you are lacking training in one area, she can help or find someone who can share their knowledge with you. She has endless years of contacts in all aspects of the field, some of which you’d never dream you’d need to know (septic pump specialists anyone?).  Whether you are just starting in real estate or feeling a bit…. uninspired, Dondi is worth your investment and will help you become the best agent you are meant to be. Hire Dondi Hopkins Bernier and start the next stage of your real estate career! 


Carol L. Anderson, Realtor | Ft. Lauderdale

“ Dondi is a very bright, dynamic person. Her experience is priceless and her guidance has been very beneficial. She is positive and motivating, which has helped me learn and grow as a Real Estate agent. Dondi pushed herself and brings that to the table to push and encourage you. She is focused, knowledgeable and an amazing accountability coach!

Lindsay Glasscock, Realtor | RE/MAX Prestige Broward

Her generosity & willingness to share set her apart.


Having had the privilege of being Dondi's Managing Broker for 8 years, I watched her develop into one of the top Realtors in our company.  What truly set Dondi apart was her generosity and willingness to share her strategies with her team and even agents from other company as a sought after panelist at real estate workshops. Through her weekly team meetings and her one on one sessions, she worked with each team member to help them achieve their own personal goals.
