With over two decades of distinguished service in both the Royal Canadian Navy and luxury real estate, Donna Harding leads Nova Scotia's premier real estate brand with unparalleled expertise and authentic Maritime hospitality.
From Senior Naval Officer to luxury real estate navigator, Donna brings a unique blend of military precision and Maritime warmth to Nova Scotia's finest properties. Along with her husband Sebastien, their journey to the helm of Engel & Völkers Nova Scotia feels like the perfect Maritime story—combining global sophistication with the kind of genuine hospitality that makes Nova Scotia special. As one of the top 1% of luxury real estate advisors worldwide and a member of Engel & Völkers' exclusive Private Office, Donna and Sebastien have transformed the company from a single shop into seven beautiful locations across Nova Scotia, each one feeling like a perfect blend of world-class luxury and hometown heart. Donna's impressive collection of credentials (FRI, CIPS, and SRES) might sound like alphabet soup, but they really mean one thing—whether you're searching for a stunning oceanfront estate or your perfect Nova Scotia sanctuary, you're working with someone who's mastered every aspect of luxury real estate. When Donna is not helping her team craft seamless property experiences or teaching at the Real Estate Institute of Canada, you'll find her pouring her energy into community leadership. It's all part of her belief that true luxury isn't just about beautiful properties—it's about creating lasting value for the people and places she serves.

Every home is a mansion in its own right. Excellence in service does not have a price point.
