About

About Gerald (Gerry) Van Donkersgoed

With over twenty-five years of diverse experience in sales, marketing, and entrepreneurship, I bring a unique perspective to the practice of property law in Ontario. My professional journey began following an eight-year education marathon, and graduating from law school during the 1990s tech bubble. After a successful two-decade career navigating startups and running my own advertising business, I returned to the legal field and articled for a real estate development company.

Today, I am a real estate lawyer practicing out of Mississauga, though I proudly serve clients virtually Ontario-wide. I am dedicated to building rapport and using my extensive background to solve complex problems for my clients.

Expertise in Real Estate Transactions

I have successfully closed many thousands of residential and commercial real estate transactions. My practice is built on efficiency and precision, utilizing systems I personally created to enhance the client experience, including:

  • A specialized Residential Title Requisition System.
  • An Error Reduction System for Volume Real Estate Settings.
  • A People Management Method for Virtual Settings.

Whether you are navigating a purchase, sale, mortgage, or refinance, I am committed to providing clear communication and professional guidance through every step of your legal journey.

Family and Community

When I am not practicing law, I am an avid investor, gardener, and weekend chef. I reside in the west end of the GTA with my daughter and my wife of 25 years, Charmaine Bigornia.

Charmaine is a well-known tennis coach and instructor in Mississauga, Ontario. As a dedicated teacher and part of the Tennis Everyone team, she shares her passion for tennis by providing
expert coaching throughout the community.
