Donna Incorvaja made the move to Fort Lauderdale 25 years ago. What began as a new chapter in a different country has evolved into a remarkable career and success story in real estate and, more importantly, a lifelong connection to the people and community she serves.

Today, Donna is known affectionately as “The Queen of Victoria Park,” a title that reflects not only her accomplishments as a real estate agent but also the relationships she has built throughout the neighborhood and across Broward County.

For Donna, being a true resident means more than simply owning a home or having an address. It means becoming part of the community, knowing the people, understanding its evolution and growing alongside the families she serves.

Donna’s roots are in Malta. Although she was born in Toronto, her family returned to Malta when she was seven years old, and it was there that she grew up.

Malta is known for its rich history, beautiful scenery, blue Mediterranean ocean and generous & friendly people. It is a very generous and welcoming country. Hospitality is a major part of the country’s economy, with visitors arriving from around the world to experience the island's culture and natural beauty.

Donna has spent her career turning those hospitality skills into something much larger than a business. For her, real estate has always been about people.

Donna has ranked as the #1 Realtor at Related General Realty for the past 15 years, and she is a top producer in Broward County.

“To get where I am today, I put in a lot of hard work, education and time,” Donna explains.

Her success, however, isn't measured solely by sales numbers.

“I stay in touch with all of my clients. I connect with them. I socialize with them. I am in their family’s lives,” Donna says. “It is more than just a transaction. It is my life.”

That long-term approach has allowed Donna to experience something many real estate agents never get to see: the complete journey with her clients. “At this point, I am doing the full circle,” she says. “I help people upsize, downsize, and I grow with them.”

For Donna, that continuity is what makes the profession so rewarding.

Donna's career has unfolded alongside the remarkable growth of Fort Lauderdale and, particularly, Victoria Park.

“I love everything about Fort Lauderdale and how it is growing,” she says.

Her knowledge of the area and her understanding of its evolution have made Donna an important resource for buyers and sellers navigating an increasingly dynamic real estate market.

She specializes in helping clients transition from one stage of life to another — whether that means purchasing a first home, relocating from another state, moving into a larger property, downsizing after children leave home or selling a longtime residence to begin a new chapter.

While Donna is quick to acknowledge her own hard work, she is equally quick to credit the people who have helped her along the way. Her personal assistant, Damon Fried, who is also a licensed Realtor, has played a significant role in her career for almost 14 years. “He is my right hand in real estate,” Donna says.

Donna also speaks with tremendous gratitude about her broader support team who has trusted her throughout the years. She believes the people around her allow her to focus on what she does best.

“My support team really makes me shine,” she says.

 That humility is a recurring theme in Donna's story. Despite her accomplishments and position at the top of her company, she remains genuinely appreciative of the relationships that have helped shape her career.

Working Her Way Up to Multi-Million Dollar Sales 

One of the most significant relationships in Donna's career has been with Noam Svilem, owner of Svilem Development and Design. Donna has worked with Noam since early in her career. The two have watched the South Florida real estate market transform, while their own professional relationship has grown with it. 

“A $30,000 flip evolved into multi-million dollar sales in two decades,” Donna explains.

Today, Svilem Development and Design is recognized for delivering custom homes in Fort Lauderdale emphasizing high-quality design and craftsmanship in a timely manner.

Donna has played an important role in that evolution, helping identify opportunities and land for new projects.

Donna believes their work has helped contribute to Victoria Park's growth and rising property values.

After 20 years in the industry and a career spanning multiple market cycles, Donna's philosophy has remained remarkably consistent: serve people first.

“For me, my job is a vocation,” she says. “It is not just about building a business.” This has required resilience.

Donna has worked through strong markets, challenging markets and everything in between. Rather than allowing difficult times to define her career, she used them as opportunities to learn, adapt and continue serving her clients.

“I have survived every market and rose up when the market was very challenging,” she says.

Her ultimate satisfaction comes when former clients return years later or send her referrals. For Donna, that is the true reward.

Away from the office, Donna places a high value on family, friendship and enjoying life. She is very close to her immediate family and enjoys spending time with her boyfriend, Chris Velasquez, a local attorney. The couple shares a love of travel and considers themselves foodies, enjoying Fort Lauderdale's vibrant dining scene. Among their favorite local spots are Daniel’s Steakhouse and Runway 84. They also enjoy socializing with clients who, over the years, have become friends. And for Donna, that may be the best measure of a career built on relationships.

Donna has no intention of slowing down. She wants to continue serving the community she cherishes, maintaining the relationships she has developed and adapting to the changes that inevitably come with life and real estate. Her career is a story of hard work, education, persistence and opportunity. But above all, it is a story about people.

It is the fact that, years later, her phone still rings, and she still answers with her unique Mediterranean accent.

The Queen of Victoria Park wouldn’t have it any other way.
