Jonny DeStefano is a New York licensed real estate professional, entrepreneur, and executive recruitment leader whose career has been shaped by a passion for connecting people, places, and opportunities.

Originally from Sullivan County, Jonny spent nearly a decade living and working in New York City, developing a deep appreciation for both the energy of urban neighborhoods and the character of communities throughout Upstate New York. His experience with prominent real estate brokerages, including Compass and Nest Seekers International, helped establish his foundation in the industry and strengthen his understanding of the New York real estate market.

Beyond real estate, Jonny has built a successful career in executive search and talent advisory, working closely with founders, business owners, and senior executives across industries including technology, finance, and real estate. As a Principal Partner at Oculus Group, he has led recruitment initiatives, developed client relationships, built teams, and advised growing organizations on critical hiring decisions. His work has given him a unique perspective on negotiation, relationship building, and the business considerations that influence major personal and professional investments.

An entrepreneur at heart, Jonny is also the founder of Catskills Cupboard, a modern retail concept celebrating the makers, farms, and independent businesses of the Catskills region. The venture reflects his longstanding connection to Upstate New York and his interest in thoughtful spaces, local commerce, and community development.

Whether working with buyers, sellers, investors, or business owners, Jonny brings an entrepreneurial mindset, strong market awareness, and a relationship-driven approach to every opportunity. He understands that real estate is more than a transaction. It's about recognizing potential, making informed decisions, and finding the right place for what comes next.

With roots in the Catskills and a career shaped by New York City, Jonny offers a perspective that bridges both markets and the lifestyles they represent.
