Seth Donstein

Seth first cultivated his affinity for architecture and real estate through his work with Greenland Building, Inc., a modern design residential construction firm, developing projects influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright. An experienced builder, carpenter, and designer, Seth has directly helped his developers bring their visions to life, managing everything from interior finishes and exterior landscaping to the choice of what materials are best suited to deliver the desired form, function, and beauty. 

Harnessing his years of construction experience, Seth brings a fresh perspective to the real estate process. He can reliably assess the inherent value of a property and utilizes his craftsmen’s eye to ensure that his clients possess a sound understanding of all of the critical elements of its structure and design. A careful study of people, Seth also appreciates how intimidating selling, buying, or investing in NYC can be; he takes real time connecting with his clients and is always available to answer questions, discuss decisions, or share thoughts.  
 
Prior to joining SERHANT., Seth ran a bi-coastal, world renown hospitality group where he became a specialist at meticulously managing elaborate budgets and deftly handling complex negotiations. An honors graduate of Brooklyn College with a degree in psychology, Seth combines his craftsman's knowledge and business expertise with a people-centered, empathic approach to carefully guide clients to their real estate goals.  

Born in Brooklyn, Seth has spent much of his life in NYC, having lived in Sheepshead Bay, Midwood and Park Slope. As a Manhattan resident, he lived on the Upper West Side and worked downtown, spending countless hours exploring the city and studying its evolution. Currently, Seth resides on Roosevelt Island with his wife, Irina, and their son, Aksel. He is an accomplished bassist with a multitude of album credits and has toured extensively. In his downtime, Seth enjoys family adventures, traveling the globe, riding his motorcycle, and flying helicopters.
