Licensed in Virginia, Donovan Gayles brings a warm, client-focused approach to helping individuals and families find their perfect home in the DMV area. Originally from New Jersey, Donovan understands the importance of feeling rooted in a new place and he’s passionate about helping his clients experience that same sense of belonging.

Donovan chose Keller Williams Capital Properties for its collaborative culture and commitment to helping people create their home here in the DMV. He’s proud to be part of a brokerage that prioritizes integrity, community, and results.

With a background in business and finance, experience in Big 4 consulting, and a master’s degree in public policy, Donovan brings a uniquely strategic and analytical skill set to real estate.

Clients appreciate Donovan’s calm communication style, attention to detail, and ability to break down complex steps into clear, manageable guidance. Whether you’re relocating to the DMV, upgrading, downsizing, or investing, he offers dedicated support tailored to your goals.

Outside of real estate, Donovan leads weekly fitness and boxing classes, mentors young adults through speaking engagements, and stays active playing in his local men’s basketball league—proof that he brings dedication and energy into everything he does.
