Donna Abood’s Post

Vice Chairman and Co-Head, Florida Region - Savills

For me, July 4th is spent not only celebrating our country but also remembering my dad, Richard Abood. He was a deeply patriotic man with an entrepreneurial spirit and deep values that continue to inspire me in my everyday life and career. As a single-family home developer in St. Petersburg, he taught me much of what I know in business. Under his leadership, I held my first sales job selling homes to families. His wisdom and entrepreneurial spirit live on in me today, allowing me to succeed in various roles throughout the years. His most important words that resonate with me daily? "Speak softly and carry a big stick."

Donna, you certainly carried your father‘s ethics and wisdom through the your career in real estate. I was honored to be involved with your team earlier this year. If more brokers had your ethics, our industry would be better off. Wishing you and your family a happy Fourth of July.
