    "The Best Part Was His Responsiveness!"
    Zach did a great job while selling two of my houses. The best part was his responsiveness. He always made himself available to answer questions or concerns which was really helpful during such a stressful process

    "Experienced and Knowledgeable! "
    Doug was our realtor when we purchased our Wedgewood home in 2004 and again when we sold the same house in 2010. The market was bustling in 2004 and we put in several offers on different homes in the area before buying our house. We were impressed with Doug's knowledge and timeliness in the negotiations and paperwork necessary to move quickly to get an offer in.Afterward, Doug became a great resource to us during our homeownership - helping us find quality services and answering questions we had as first time homeowners. This was above and beyond the call of duty, something that we appreciated of Doug very much. The housing market in 2010, when we decided to sell our home, was a difficult time to be selling. Doug helped us price our house in a way where we were able to sell quickly and yet meet our pricing expectations. While selling the house we lived out-of-state and we appreciated Doug's willingness and ability to find people to make repairs to the home as well as manage those repairs. Doug is very personable, knowledgeable, and hard-working - not only a great resource, but simply a great guy. We can only hope to find a relator like Doug in our new state; it's going be tough to fill his shoes!

    "We feel very lucky to have connected with Andrew and would recommend him in a heartbeat!"
    My wife and I were first-time home buyers and Andrew made the process much less intimidating than it could have been. He went to great lengths to understand what were looking for and was super-responsive throughout our journey. He went to great lengths to make sure we understood everything as we navigated touring homes,making offers, home inspections, and everything else that comes with looking for and buying a home. We feel very lucky to have connected with Andrew and would recommend him in a heartbeat!

    "Highly likely to recommend"
    Andrew did a fantastic job representing both myself and my siblings during an estate sale for my brother's home. As my brother had been ill for some time, the house was in disrepair. His recommendations regarding "fixes" were spot on - not too hot and not too cold - just right to present the property in it's most favorable light while limiting expenses.I was also relieved that he managed all the work regarding these fixes as I do not reside in WA state and therefore I am unfamiliar with local contractors. Finally he handled all unique aspects of the sale given it was a probate sale while being sensitive to the "ticking clock" associated with time spent communicating with my estate lawyer, again thus minimizing expenses. Great job Andrew - thanks again!

    "I would definitely recommend Andrew to anyone."
    Andrew was a fantastic agent for us. Beyond being a genuinely nice guy, Andrew helped us get our house on the market very quickly. He even had numerous connections to help get the house ready including painter, yard work, etc. I would definitely recommend Andrew to anyone.

    "I’m so grateful to have been able to work with him!"
    Andrew’s expertise, professionalism, and skill is top-notch. After having a terrible experience trying to sell our home last year with a different agent, Andrew stepped in and took care of everything from the moment we inquired (and even before he was “hired”). He personally saw to every detail,many of which we didn’t even know about until after the process was over. I’m sure there are details he attended to that we still are not aware of and never will be! Exactly what we needed. He is a true expert in the field. I would recommend Andrew to anyone in the market to sell. I’m so grateful to have been able to work with him.

    "We Definitely Recommend Zach and His Team!"
    The McDonald Realty team is great! Zach and and his team are very knowledgable, flexible, and insightful when it comes to the Seattle real estate. Zach and Kyle were very patient with us while we learned how to make a strong offer to purchase our home. It took us several offers to finally get one accepted,but they guided us through it all. We did a combination of virtual and in-person tours and we felt like we were in good hands the whole time. Zach and his team paid very close attention to detail and were always available to answer our questions. We definitely recommend Zach and his team, especially to anyone from California or out of state looking to buy in the Seattle metro area.

    "We will not hesitate to use Andrew again for any of our real estate needs that pop up!"
    I serve as the Treasurer for the HOA for our condo building and we had a unit that the association actually owned and we were looking to sell. Andrew came recommended to us and we could not have been more pleased with his professionalism, knowledge, and overall approach to selling a unit for a good price despite challenges due to overall market conditions.Andrew was there for us every step of the way explaining his strategy and walking us through the process. In the end, the unit sold incredibly quickly and for a price that the association felt very good about. We will not hesitate to use Andrew again for any of our real estate needs that pop up.

    "Zach Is Truly a Great Agent!"
    I found out about Zach from his YouTube videos. Whether or not you choose him as your agent I highly recommend watching his videos to learn about the Seattle real estate market. As an agent he is exceptional. Buying a house in Seattle is fiercely competitive right now.We placed offers on 4 other houses that we were outbid on before finally finding one that we were willing to bid enough on to win. Zach was with us through the whole process and provided much needed encouragement. He arranged more showings than I can recall and prepared all our offers on extremely short notice. He also answered many of our first time home buyer questions and did everything possible to take care of the logistics for us. Zach is truly a great agent, he won't let you down.

    " He Was Always Responsive and Professional!"
    Working with Zach was a tremendous pleasure. He was exceptionally helpful in all aspects of the home buying process and I never felt like I was "missing something" or didn't understand what was next. He was always responsive and professional and it was a real pleasure getting to work with him.I can't imagine the process had we not gone with Zach as our realtor. I would highly recommend him to anyone interested or getting started. We started our process with pretty open ended ideas of what we wanted and Zach helped us figure out and narrow down our selection until we found the perfect place for us. If I'm ever on the market to buy or sell again, I certainly will choose Zach.

    "Extremely Patient!"
    Doug was recommended to us by a friend that had worked with him previously and we can understand why. We would highly recommend Doug to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in Seattle. Doug took the time to understand what we were looking for in a home and worked with us to find the perfect match.He was very responsive throughout the process and was never impatient with all of our questions and indecisiveness. He has extensive knowledge of the city's neighborhoods and a good sense of the current state of the market. Bottom line - highly recommended and we wouldn't hesitate to reach out to Doug again if we need an agent again in the future.

    "We Really Enjoyed Working With Zach and the Team!"
    We really enjoyed working with Zach and the team. Throughout our search for a home they consistently were our advocate. And now after we've already closed Zach still continues to show us we're part of the family by checking in and inviting us to events.

    "I give my highest recommendation for Andrew Schein as your realtor!!!"
    From the moment we started the home purchase process Andrew was a consummate professional and immediately exuded experience and savvy in the industry. Andrew is a lifelong resident of Seattle who retains ummatched experience in the local real estate market, which absolutely worked to our advantage.In my own personal experience working in the real estate industry I have befriended and worked alongside numerous realtors and can confidently state that Andrew is of a much higher caliber than any agent I encountered. It takes a true go-getter to compete as an agent in this market, one where Andrew has thrived. Once again, I give my highest recommendation for Andrew Schein as your realtor and referral reference. Thank you Andrew and keep after it.

    "At no point did I feel like Andrew was lacking in any way. Totally recommend!"
    As a first-time homebuyer, Andrew was an invaluable resource for helping me locate a house to buy. I needed to tour many homes to work out what I was looking for, and Andrew was more than willing to help me. He also gave a great explanation of the whole process and gave strong advice for what work to do on the house after purchase,with contractor recommendations. At no point did I feel like Andrew was lacking in any way. Totally recommend ;)

    "Doug is very responsive."
    Doug was my buying agent on both of the homes I've purchased. The things I like about Doug include: 1. I never feel any pressure from him. It's objectively how I feel about the house + any input I ask from him and if we look at 10 that day and I don't love any of them,it's just back to the listings board with the same helpful/positive demeanor of the first 10. 2. He knows a lot about schools, better worse parts and other details of the north Seattle area which is where I've purchased my two homes. We also looked in South Seattle and other places though which I also felt like me provided good perspective on. 3. Doug is very responsive. I know I've personally felt bad about having Doug chaperone me around as I'm pretty picky. He let me know that even if it's just one house and even if I'm not 100%, that he'd always rather as see it as fast as possible and take as many trips out as necessary than try and wait to save time. 4. Overall Doug is just a nice a pleasant person to spend time with and talk to through the buying process. I know he represents both buyers and sellers and I'd recommend him for either.

    "Doug is a wonderful agent."
    Doug is a wonderful agent. He helped me sell my house in N. Seattle in 2020 and I was very happy with the experience. I was referred to Doug by a family friend and I would absolutely refer him to anyone else. He's professional, empathic and very authentic. I also give him top marks for responsiveness and ability to negotiate.He's earned a lifelong customer in me!

    "I Would Highly Recommend Zach!"
    I came across Zach first on youtube. He has several informational videos which are very helpful for a beginner and he publishes monthly updates on current market trends. After following him for a few years, I decided to take a plunge and look for a home for my growing family.His approach was quite methodical where he asked questions which helped us narrow down on what we want. Then he showed us matching homes, explained pros & cons of those and guided us on several things to look for that we were not aware of. Market was really hot and we couldn't even put offer on 3-4 homes that we liked and they were gone. Ultimately, we were able to find a home that we liked and Zach helped us to put together a competitive offer (not a crazy one but just like 17k over asked price but relaxing other terms without taking any unreasonable risk) which we won and moved into our dream home in under two months. Thanks Zach. Really appreciate your help. Anyone reading this review, I would highly recommend Zach. Please do subscribe to his youtube channel and don't miss those very informative videos.

    "Zach Proved To Be an Indispensable Resource for Us!"
    Throughout our home buying experience, Zach proved to be an indispensable resource for us. In the process of searching for a suitable location to move to, he offered us valuable insight and expertise which inspired much needed confidence. His relaxed and jovial candor provided a refreshing level of enjoyment in an otherwise tedious and painstaking process.Upon his discovery of what seemed to be the ideal location, price point, and housing arrangement for us, Zach's expert negotiation skills allowed us to sustain a competitive offer even at a lower price. I firmly believe that we would not be in the beautiful home we live in now if it had not been for Zach. I would personally recommend him to friends, relatives, and any persons looking for somebody knowledgeable, respectful, and approachable to guide them through the process of home buying.

    "Happily Own the Condo That I’ve Always Wanted!"
    I've been thinking of buying a home for a while, and I finally contacted Zach to help me explore my options. This is the first home that I bought, so I needed a lot of help learning about the process. We met at Starbucks a couple days after I contacted him,and he explained the whole process to me and he also asked me a lot of questions so that he could learn what I was looking for and what price range was realistic for me. We started looking for homes, and I quickly found what I was looking for. He took care of the making the offer and all of that for me, and he was very responsive and helpful throughout that process. We finally closed and now I happily own the condo that I've always wanted!

    "We Learned a Lot in Working With Him!"
    Zach was a wonderful guide to the Seattle real estate scene! He proved to be an invaluable resource in navigating the complexities of the current market, presenting accurate information about pricing and bids without placing any pressure on us as buyers.We appreciated how he got to know us as prospective homeowners and were impressed with how quickly he was able to send us listings tailored to our tastes and price range. Our list of "asks" in a home was a bit more complex than the average buy, but Zach was never discouraged in our search. His confidence and optimism kept the process enjoyable, and we would highly recommend him to any prospective buyer! We learned a lot in working with him, and commend his excellent communication and dedication.

    "Doug is a fabulous real estate agent."
    Doug is a fabulous real estate agent. We were initially very casually looking for a new home and had a time-frame of months to a year, as we wanted to find the right house at the right price. Doug took us to see dozens of homes but never pressured us to decide on location or time-frame.When we did find the house we wanted, he was a steady voice who guided us through the entire process, providing reasonable and sound advice on making an offer, guiding us through inspections, bringing a contractor to take a quick look at the house to determine how difficult any renovations or later additions might be, and providing calming reassurance during ridiculous interactions with lenders. We even ended up choosing a different lender at nearly the last minute and he didn't flinch. He also does his homework--he called the neighbors in the area we decided to buy to determine noise levels, looked up schools and gave us printed reports on the neighborhood, and generally went the extra mile. He was always prepared when he showed us a property. Definitely call Doug if you are looking to buy a house!

    "Unlikely to recommend"
    We came to Heidi in hopes she could help us move into our duplex that just happened to work out so perfectly, from what we thought... We were rushed in to signing a lease sooner than we expected to move. She "gave us" a week free of rent.

    "Zach McDonald and His Team Were the Absolute Best to Work With!"
    Zach McDonald and his team were the absolute best to work with - five full stars! From the very beginning when I contacted Zach I knew he and his team were the ones to handle my unusual transaction. A friend of mine had passed away and I was charged with selling his beautiful home. I didn't know the area,I didn't know the market and I didn't know what to do cosmetically to the home to get the best sale result. Zach put me at ease right away with his knowledge of the market, his practical approach to preparing the home for sale, and his and his team's willingness to assist with the upgrades. Zach and his team not only advised on the clean-up and refresh, they also had many connections in the cleaning, painting and repair industries. If they have a contact for the service the home needed, they helped locate one. All of the cleaning and repairs happened in a very short period of time and if one of the contractors couldn't complete their portion on time Zach and his team found another contractor to keep the project moving. Their efforts before the sale made the upgrades easy and affordable - and almost painless to me! The results were amazing. The home was listed for $1.2mm and sold 10 days later for $1.410 mm. I highly recommend Zach McDonald and his wonderful team of associates - they did an incredible job for me and got results I never could have imagined.
