Donny Piwowarski: Strategic. Experienced. Results-Driven.

I’ve spent more than 23 years helping people buy, sell, and invest in real estate—and I still love what I do every single day. As the Broker/Owner of Hero Real Estate and founder of the dpiWOW Team, my mission is simple: deliver results through strategy, transparency, and innovation.

My career didn’t start in real estate—it began in Silicon Valley’s tech sector, where I ran a computer support company in San Jose. That experience gave me a deep understanding of systems, marketing, and data-driven decision-making. When I helped build the infrastructure for a mortgage and real estate firm, I saw firsthand how technology and finance intersect in property transactions—and I was hooked. I went on to become both a mortgage broker and real estate agent, giving me a 360-degree perspective on lending, financing, and deal structuring that continues to guide my clients today.

Over the years, I’ve led residential, commercial, and investment transactions throughout California, including multi-family acquisitions, commercial leases, and the management of more than 15 ADU construction projects. I’ve also worked extensively with real estate investors to purchase, renovate, and optimize floor plans for student housing conversions, helping them unlock hidden value and achieve higher cash flow potential. Whether my clients are upgrading, downsizing, or building an investment portfolio, I help them navigate every step with clarity and confidence.

I’m also well-versed in 1031 exchanges, Prop 19 implications, probate sales, entity structures for holding real estate, and the latest tax laws impacting property owners. I collaborate closely with investors, attorneys, and CPAs to design strategies that protect wealth and maximize returns. Real estate isn’t just about buying or selling a property—it’s about building a financial plan that lasts generations.

Where I truly stand apart is in marketing. Many agents rely on postcards and MLS exposure alone. I take a different approach—engineering custom marketing systems that combine video, paid social ads, retargeting, SEO, and global ad networks. Through my proprietary dpiWOW platform, my listings reach thousands of qualified buyers from the Bay Area and beyond, helping my clients achieve top-dollar results faster.

After years of privately managing properties for clients, I also launched Hero Property Management, serving the Bay Area and Central Valley. California’s real estate and property laws are complex—and I make it my business to stay current so my clients stay protected.

If you’re considering selling, investing, or expanding your portfolio, let’s talk strategy.
