Fort Lauderdale Luxury Closets with Donna

If you’ve ever looked at your jam‑packed closet and thought “too many clothes, nothing to wear,” this one is for you. In the studio with me is Fort Lauderdale luxury realtor and hanger founder Donna Zalter, who saw messy closets in million‑dollar South Florida properties and decided to tackle the problem starting with the hanger. We talk real estate cycles, e‑commerce reality, AI, and why All Hung Up Hangers is built from the ground up right here in Broward. Originally from Montreal, Donna has lived in South Florida for about 35 years, starting in Hallandale/Hollywood and eventually moving to Fort Lauderdale to get closer to Pine Crest School and out of I‑95 traffic. Donna loves Fort Lauderdale’s walkability, calling it a small city that feels like Buckhead in Atlanta, with new, shiny growth but still manageable size. Donna shares what her real estate business coach is telling agents: you must be “AI searchable” now, whether you’re in real estate, IT or selling hangers.
