    "Professional and Assertive!"

    I would absolutely use Doug again to buy or sell a house. I was introduced to Doug pretty late in my house hunting process, but he jumped right in and helped me immensely with what turned out to be a difficult process. My seller had some seller's remorse,and Doug's professionalism and assertiveness ultimately solved the problem and got me my house! Doug is a wealth of knowledge, and you can't go wrong working with him.

    "Extremely Patient"

    Doug was great at listening to my feedback about places that I did and did not like to hone his recommendations for me. He was also extremely patient and offered thoughtful advice when I couldn't make up my mind. Knowing that I was flexible about closing dates, he used that to my advantage to negotiate an offer.Once my offer was accepted, Doug was extremely helpful in explaining the next steps. I really enjoyed working with Doug and would definitely recommend him.

    "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.

    "Such a pleasure to work with!"

    Jenny was actually the sellers agent (I was buying) but she was such a pleasure to work with! She was in charge of making sure all open permits were settled and closed with the city as agreed upon, and even after I purchased the home, she followed through very quickly on her commitments to ensure I was satisfied as the buyer.She was very responsive and addressed all my questions and took her job very seriously. I highly recommend working with her!

    "We would definitely work with Andrew again."

    "We cannot recommend Andrew more highly!"

    We were new to Seattle and first time home buyers and could not possibly have understood what was going on in the market here. Andrew was patient with us as he taught us everything we could have possibly needed to know. His history as a high-end contractor was invaluable in "looking under the hood" at each house we would visit.Andrew made himself available at all times of the day or night to make sure we could act quickly on homes of interest. And even in the middle of the night, Andrew was extremely professional. We cannot recommend Andrew more highly!

    "He was incredibly skilled and respectful in his communication with seller’s agents!"

    Andrew was a fantastic resource and guide for the very stressful, fast-paced, and confusing process of buying a home in Seattle in this market. He knows the area and market well and has a high end construction background so he can make educated guesses about possible updates (and their costs),which we found very helpful. Most importantly his approach is diligent and objective, answering all our questions exactly as we asked them, making no effort to sway or rush our decision-making. And we took a while to find the right home! He was incredibly skilled and respectful in his communication with seller’s agents and we felt we often got extra consideration from agents because they enjoyed working with Andrew. He’s a gem and we highly recommend him!

    "Very Knowledgeable! "

    Jennifer helped throughout the process of what was an "as is" estate sale home, from the point of readying/clearing the home for sale, to swift listing, showing, evaluation of multiple offers & closing. She was resourceful with great contacts to help us complete some estate property clearing,plus deep cleaning the home and extensive landscaping/clearing. What was very important for us was having a realistic eye with recommendations of what to invest in before listing the home - a reality check on things like whether or not to paint, etc. I am confident we struck the right balance there, with her help and suspect I would have wasted effort/expense on actions that ultimately were not necessary for our specific scenario. She was always open to help me run down things at the house, to open it up for pick ups, etc., during this part of the process, which in my case, living 45 minutes away, was extremely helpful. This is clearly beyond the call of duty. Thanks again very much Jenny. In evaluation of the offers, we also had to keep an eye toward the associated risks of an older home, owned by our family since 1968, that had been unoccupied for approximately 2 years. We benefitted from the excellent market, and ultimately were able to close quickly with a cash offer - very important to our specific situation with an estate. The house was open for showing and open house activity over the weekend for any offers to be received and reviewed on Monday night. Jenny reviewed them with us, helped us with title questions as we got the estate attorney's review, counter offered, and had mutual acceptance by Wednesday afternoon I believe. Our closing was complete in less than a month from the initial listing (and over the Christmas holidays). Overall, we appreciate Jenny's help and would recommend that you see her when the house has completed its renovation by a professional builder! We are confident it will be a beauty again.

His calm and sensible approach,along with his depth of experience made the closing process smooth and stress free. We will call Doug again in the future and recommend him highly.

    "I would recommend him as a real estate agent to family and friends without hesitation!"

    My wife and I had an amazing home buying experience with Andrew. We were moving to Seattle without any local knowledge or references. I noted his positive reviews on Zillow and decided to give him a call. I’m sure glad I did. Andrew went above and beyond for us.We were out of town buyers and could only make it out to view properties on one particular weekend. He gave us his undivided attention and arranged for us to see a long list of properties. He was willing and able to adjust on the fly once we realized we didn’t like a particular neighborhood, even though the majority of the properties we had planned to see were located there. Andrew helped us construct a competitive offer, which was accepted for our perfect home. He managed to talk me out of offering too much which speaks to his honesty and integrity. Throughout the process he gave us sound advice and was always willing to tell us the pros and cons of each house or neighborhood. Overall, I never felt pressured. After we closed on the house, but before we could move to Seattle, Andrew arranged for a number of bids to refinish the floors and personally oversaw the work. I would recommend him as a real estate agent to family and friends without hesitation!

    "Was Very Responsive and Easy to Work With!"

    We used McDonald Realty to search in Edmonds, Lynnwood, Mill Creek Mukilteo, and eventually buy in Everett. We are relocating from out of state and buying a new home sight unseen is adds an extra level of difficulty in a tough, competitive market. The whole team worked hard, coordinated well,was very responsive and easy to work with. Zach really knows the market, works really hard, is very smart and informed, and listens to his customers. We highly recommend McDonald Realty with no reservations at all

    Vicki is the best! Vicki was amazingly patient as we looked at and lost in bidding, many houses.

    "Jenny is an excellent realtor!"

    Jenny is an excellent realtor. She is very knowledgeable about the market and where prices are going, especially in Lake Forest Park. She would stop by often to check on the house. We were very thankful she was able to help us with my mother's estate sale. She is very transparent and was an excellent communicator throughout the process.She let us know up front what commissions would be, what costs she would cover, and what improvements were necessary and she had a good stable of contractors to provide bids. She made the arrangements with the contractors for us so we had competitive bids. We had 87 showings in the week we listed and multiple offers. I highly recommend Jenny to list your home. Dan

    "Pragmatic Approach!"

    As a first time home buyer, Doug inspired confidence in the hunt for a place to call home. Doug did not try to rush us or pressure us into settling on a house and was the first person to call out problems with a potential home. He even steered us away from a few houses that we initially liked but that would have caused us serious problems down the road.When we found "the one," Doug immediately reached out to the seller's agent to put us in the pole position to get the house. We got into a bidding war with another potential buyer, and I relied on Doug's advice throughout. We got the house! Doug also has great relationships with home inspectors, mortgage brokers, and other realtors, greatly reducing the stress of the closing process. I will rely on Doug for all my real estate needs from here on out!

    "We couldn't have had a better agent to take us through the home buying process!"

    Andrew is an amazing agent. As first time home buyers my wife and I spent a fair amount of time interviewing and researching different agents. This being the biggest purchase we have ever made we thought it important to work with someone we really liked.The market we walked into was incredibly competitive and Andrew did a fantastic job walking us through each and every step of the process. He was quick to provide highly specific details when asked but could also keep things brief and high level. We found him incredibly responsive, especially when we wanted to go see a house the day it came on the market. He was always available to answer calls, help do research, or just chat about what was on our minds. Before getting the perfect home that met our every expectation, we made two other offers. Andrew walked us through the process clearly and concisely, helping us structure the very best offers we could. Unfortunately, this being a highly competitive market we lost based on price...which Andrew had said would be a factor in the offers we put together. In the end, we got the house we wanted for a good price and we have Andrew to thank for that. The home had previously failed to make it through inspection so Andrew coached us on how to make an attractive but competitive offer. When we got the house, we were absolutely thrilled. We couldn't have had a better agent to take us through the home buying process.

    "We are so fortunate to have had Andrew as our realtor and would highly recommend him!"

    Andrew is a very dedicated and trustworthy agent with extensive knowledge of the real estate market, the negotiation process, construction, design and beyond. This is our first home purchase and Andrew walked us through patiently and competently every step of the way.We were very specific about which neighborhood we wanted to live in to stay in our current school district that is seeing extremely high competition levels. Andrew learned our preferences quickly, previewed houses for us and with his design and construction background helped us see the potential that houses had to offer. We always felt like his only client (even though he is quite full) and he was able to accommodate our schedules and answer all of our questions thoroughly. He managed the negotiation process masterfully making sure we stayed within our budget. Once we bought our house, Andrew went above and beyond the call of duty helping us to find general contractors and brainstorm how to update our home to meet our needs. We are so fortunate to have had Andrew as our realtor and would highly recommend him!

    "We will be going back to him in the future!!"

    My wife and I recently moved up from LA and were referred to Jerad Thysens by a colleague. We chose Jerad to represent us because of his strong appraisal background and in-depth knowledge of the western WA real estate market. In today’s market, we wanted to make sure we were not overpaying for something simply because it had multiple offers on it.In hindsight, Jerad delivered near perfect sale point estimates of every house we toured (and there were a lot) and highlighted numerous considerations that we found invaluable in hindsight. Jerad was very responsive at all times including the holidays and made my wife and I’s home buying experience in Seattle as easy as could be. I guess we got lucky finding a quality agent who wasn’t just looking for his next sale. We will be going back to him in the future.

    "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!
