2026 Women in CRE: Dariela Villon-Maga, DVM Housing Partners

What professional accomplishment or experience are you especially proud of?
I’m most proud of building DVM Housing Partners from the ground up into a firm that has helped advance the development of more than 100 affordable homes across Massachusetts. As a Black-owned development company, we’ve demonstrated that it’s possible to deliver high-quality affordable housing while building strong partnerships with communities, municipalities, and lenders. Creating opportunities for first-time homebuyers and expanding access to stable, affordable housing is the accomplishment that motivates me every day.
