Donovan Eckhardt is a property developer based in Chicago, Illinois, who shot to prominence as an HGTV reality star. He is a graduate of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and the founder of Greymark Development Group, a real estate development company.
Donovan’s reality television career began with HGTV’s Windy City Flip. He portrays himself in the 2017 episode named Bucktown Rebuild (a contractor).
HGTV and Earnings
Donovan returned to television two years after his reality television debut as the star of HGTV’s Windy City Rehab.
Windy City Repair’s first season (2019) follows Donovan and designer Alison Victoria as they went throughout the greater Chicago area in search of properties to purchase, rehab, and resell.
While Donovan was in charge of all contracting, his co-star Alison was in charge of the design element of their business.
Windy City Rehab’s first season, which spanned 10 episodes, was a smashing success. Donovon’s appearance in the second installment has been ruled out. In July 2019, city officials suspended his licenses as a residential real estate developer and general contractor for a year.
Prior to the ban, the Windy City Flip Flop was issued a stop-work order in response to neighbor concerns about the noise. In March 2019, he claimed to have resolved the matter through discussions with city officials.
Donovan’s net worth has taken a significant hit as a result of the suspension. Alison, his co-host, added insult to injury by announcing a relationship with a new contractor.
Life as a Wife & Married Couple
Contrary to popular belief, Donovan is not romantically involved with Alison. Both parties are only business associates.
Donovan is a married man with two daughters. In July 2014, he and his wife Erica Eckhardt welcomed their first child, Charlotte. The couple welcomed their second child in the winter of 2015.
The HGTV personality and his wife began their married journey in 2012. After marrying in August of that year, the wedded couple couldn’t have chosen a more fitting term for their relationship.
Donovan frequently flaunts his wife and children on Instagram. It is safe to assume that he is fundamentally a family man.
Biographical Information – Age & Family
Donovan’s husband and children are not the only ones who receive his gratitude on social media. His biological parents and older brother Ted are the beneficiaries of the reality star’s virtual devotion.
The Eckhardt family is as close-knit as close-knit families come. They are extremely supportive of one another’s achievements and don’t mind celebrating minor victories in their respective lives.
On 25 November 1979, the Windy City Flip alum was born. Donovan became 39 years old on 25th November 2018 in Arlington Heights, Illinois.
