Agent Information
Donna Whiteside, the lead agent for The Donna Whiteside Group, is an agent with a truly varied background. A teacher for many years, she then became a real estate agent and sold Real Estate to pay for her tuition at Rutger's Law School. After graduating from Law School, she worked as a litigator and contract attorney in New Jersey before "retiring" here to Lower Slower Delaware. Five years ago, she came out of retirement to join The Lurty Team along with David and Nancy Lurty - her own trusted Realtors. Now she is the lead agent for The Donna Whiteside Group (formerly known as The Lurty Team), and she and the Lurtys continue to provide amazing customer service.
Delaware has found a special place in her heart. "I love how people seem to care for one another here," Donna said. "If someone has a fire at his home, there is a fundraiser organized, and everyone comes. If someone is new to the area and gets ill, someone he barely knows will take it upon himself to arrange for volunteers to help out. I've never seen this level of caring and friendship before."
"I know that my experience as a REALTOR®, combined with my skills as an attorney, should be very helpful to my clients," she added. "I also am very experienced in social media and I am excited to put those skills to work marketing my client's homes."
Donna is married to Linda Dean, another agent on The Donna Whiteside Group. They share their home with two black lab mixes and a "weaponized" chihuahua. In her precious spare time, she can usually be found painting or on the water in Rehoboth Bay enjoying all that Delaware has to offer.
