    "I Would Highly Recommend Working With Him!"
    Working with Zach has been an absolute pleasure and I would highly recommend working with him. Zach will respond quickly and make sure to set things up so you will be a happy buyer, I know I am and he helped me choose my first house! The first time that we were meeting to go see houses happened to be in a heavy heavy downpour with accidents on all major roads.I heard on the news the next day it was the 5th worst traffic conditions have ever been in Seattle. Zach proposed we grab a bite so we went to Il Bistro in Pike St Market and grabbed some food while he explained the homebuying process and how I should start getting ready to make a purchase. At the end of eating he took care of the meal! One thing I really liked about working with Zach was the questions he asked about what I enjoyed and what I was looking for in a home. Zach continued to look into what would be helpful for me and I really appreciated that. In the end, we closed on a house 21K under asking price that had the giant backyard that my Siberian Husky has been lobbying me for. Zach was very helpful in the negotiations and very responsive. If you choose to work with Zach you are in excellent hands. Thanks Zach!

    "Thank You Zach!"
    First time home buyer. It's an overwhelming process. Zach made it manageable by providing expert guidance at each step: From a personal interview, providing detailed technical information at each location, crafting a suitable winning strategy, to seemlessly bridging both sides until keys are transferred.Now I live in a house that feels like home. Thank you Zach

    I had a very tight timeframe to buy a house and Sarah did an excellent job leading me through the process. She knows the Seattle area well, was always available to answer my questions, and helped make the home buying process easy. Thank you Sarah!

    " I couldn't be happier with the results and would easily recommend Jerad to anyone."
    Jerad helped me make a couple offers on some newly constructed homes in a competitive market and ultimately close a deal on one. After a few experiences with other agents who missed important details, I was extremely pleased with Jerad's overall attention and dedication to ensuring my important questions were answered.Jerad is super competent with contracts and we were able to iterate on the offer and still close on an aggressive timeline over a holiday period. I was also able to move in over a month sooner than my neighbors, whose offers were accepted in the same week. I couldn't be happier with the results and would easily recommend Jerad to anyone.

    "An Invaluable Resource"
    Doug was an invaluable resource during our home search and continues to be a huge help as we plan a major remodel in View Ridge. Relocating from Ohio, my wife and I didn’t know individual neighborhoods well or the amenities that came with, but Doug quickly got us up to speed, identifying the pros and cons of each location.And we certainly didn’t fully understand just how competitive the Seattle market was. Doug clearly explained the tactics necessary to compete in multiple offer situations when we chose to do so. He also wasn’t afraid to recommend against certain homes if the value wasn’t there. In the end, our home search took much longer and was much more exhausting that we would have ever thought possible. But Doug never wavered. He was our steady hand in the process and I can’t imagine going through something like that again without him!

    "Tremendous Patience"
    It was a great experience working with Steve as a 1st time buyer and not coming from the Seattle/ WA/ US area. Steve had tremendous patience navigating me through lots of the basic questions i had & took time over multiple weeks and months through conversations and showing me homes to help me discover the right type of property for me.I appreciated his flexibility to show me homes when ever i could fit them into my busy work schedule which meant i didn't miss out on a home in the highly competitive Seattle market. His knowledge of the local area, pit falls to avoid and the reality of buying certain types of homes really provided me with a level of confidence that would make me easily recommend Steve to a friend or work colleague.

    Zach and his team were absolutely great. Zach was extremely knowledgeable and he was very patient as we navigated the competitive Snohomish county housing market. We would recommend Zach and his team to anyone who needs to buy or sell their home. We did both with Zach and would trust him again in thefuture.

    "I would recommend Andrew for any real estate purchase you may be considering!"
    We have been working with Andrew a couple months as our "buyer's agent" as we looked for a new home in Seattle. He did a great job with setting up a regular MLS automatic search that was very helpful in finding good candidate homes for us. We wound up finding a view home in Edmonds and Andrew helped in our offer strategy to negotiate a good price.He also facilitated some inspections and arranging a contractor to review a number of items so we had a good handle on the costs involved as we went the final negotiations post-inspection. Andrew was always very responsive and very knowledgeable on the process and how to approach the negotiations very strategically. I would recommend Andrew for any real estate purchase you may be considering.

    "Doug is one in a million!"
    Doug is one in a million! Straightforward, honest and a great asset to what can be a daunting and often frustrating process of buying/selling a home. With his 25 years experience, Doug is adept at assessing a given market and house and provided effective negotiation strategies to close the deal.We intended to buy a fixer-upper. Having Doug there was invaluable -- he could quickly assess a house, the associated repairs and provide estimated repair/improvement costs. Whether it be roof quality, siding repair or carpet replacement costs, the information Doug provided on the fly helped inform our bidding and negotiating strategy. Doug provides exceptional client service. He is an excellent communicator and maintained an open and candid dialogue through the entire process. We ALWAYS felt like he was on our side and had the utmost confidence in his ability to advocate and negotiate on our behalf. Look no further for a realtor - Doug is the guy for you!

    "Went Above Expectations!"
    Zach and his team were outstanding and went above expectations: they were professional, prompt, knowledgeable, and coordinated all of the contractor repairs and cleaning. Zach also talked me off the emotional cliff several times during the listing and offer process.

    "Can not recommend him enough"
    We stumbled onto Andrew when my partner and I first took a look a home in Seattle. We were (still kind of are) absolute novices in house hunting and were mostly looking to see what was out and available. From the first tour with Andrew we were both very impressed with his knowledge of Seattle housing,keen eye for possible issues with homes, and fair opinions on what each house was worth and what they could be down the road. Within only a couple months we found the home we now live in and would not be here if it weren’t for Andrew’s professionalism, care and knowledge. Can not recommend him enough!

    "He Was a Pleasure to Work With!"
    We bought a home with Zach's help in Lake Forest Park. I was a first time buyer to I quite tentative and was not sure of the process and with Zach's help we were able to close the house within a month from the time we saw the house for the first time. We started looking for houses in December and we looking at house with whom so ever will respond to our query on ZIllow or Refin,but we found Zach to be the most responsive and most easy to talk about our priorities and what we were looking. Zach was very responsive and always ready to help with any questions we had. On the negotiation part, we paid the full list price of the house and there were some concession after inspection but my feeling was that we could have negotiated it a bit lower but Zach convinced me that it is not a good idea to negotiate down as the seller has other offers. I thought Zach could have done better on that front being the buyer's agent. He was being fair on both sides I guess. I guess every buyer feels that they could have squeezed it some more, so no real complains there either Overall I was very happy with the process and would definitely recommend Zach to other buyers. He was a pleasure to work with in every step of the process.

    "He offered valuable insight and always respected our wishes and what we were looking."
    Andrew is a fantastic agent! He took the time right up front to understand what we were looking for and asked great questions. He offered valuable insight and always respected our wishes and what we were looking. In addition he was always available for us.At one point while we were looking he was out of town for a few days and made sure to let us know that he had a plan for being in touch and taking care of what we needed in our absence. He has a great eye for potential in homes, lots of ideas for what you can do with a home and is a consummate professional throughout the process.

    "Knows the area and market really well."
    Jennifer grew up in the North End of Seattle and knows the area and market really well. She advised us on the sale of my mother’s home, and timed it perfectly. She knew just how to describe it, advised us on minor maintenance items and was very responsive to questions from prospective clients. We received several very good offers,and a Jennifer was able to talk us through the pros and cons of each similar offer. We’ve sold several private houses as well as commercial properties, both by owner and with agents, and this experience was by far the smoothest. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for, or hoping to sell, a property.

    "Zach Will Be Our Go-to Agent in Future!"
    Me and my wife just completed our first home purchase and we are glad that Zach McDonald represented us. Being the newbie homebuyers in one of the most competitive housing market, we really wanted someone to help us to find the right house and also with the preassumed "daunting" paperwork involved.First of all, either you go with Zach or not as your real estate agent, his YouTube channel is a goldmine of information for any home buyer and especially Seattle market. With monthly updates and detailed step-by-step videos for each step in house buying, it makes so much easier for new home buyers like us to understand the process thoroughly. He was very clear on first step as getting pre-approval which proved to be really important in our case (TRUST the process!!). If you are someone like us who want very transparent communication, Zach and his team(Rachel and Lindsay) is the right choice for you. Our visits were properly scheduled, all safety precautions were taken amidst covid pandemic and never had any issues around it. He provided his honest opinion on each house we visited, laid out the pros and cons which really helped us to make a call. We had previously experienced how the agents created a pressurized situation to make a quick/hasty decision but house buying is probably the most expensive investment you are going to make. There was literally NO…NADA..NIL.. pressure from Zach to make a decision on any house we saw with him. Regular check-ins on Tuesday and Thursday make the whole process seamless as he breaks down each step for you and share latest updates for your case. THE FUN PART: Hands down, Zach and team are really passionate for their work. Closing on a house with Zach is an experience, why? That’s because the gestures this team makes to make it special for you. For us, sending card when you start the house buying process, another one when you put the down escrow money and last on closure. The best part, they come with cookies :) Finally on the closing days, Zach got food with Champagne, along with few gifts and an awesome welcome home video to save our memories for lifetime. Zach will be our go-to agent in future as well, we wish him great success in his business! Thank you Zach and Team, looking forward to do more business with you.

    "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.

    "Zach Was Great to Work With!"
    Zach was great to work with--personable, proactive, and professional. He took the time to help us identify what we wanted, and how it could show up in the marketplace. In each offer we submitted, he was proactive asking the seller questions we had, and also ones we should've asked. Zach clearly loves what he does,and we loved working with him!

    "Do Yourself a Favor and Contact Zach!"
    If you are a first-time home buyer in Seattle, do yourself a favor and contact Zach. He will support you through the process with clear and accurate information and does so in a way that is strategic, without pressure, empathetic, and honest. He conducts weekly check-in’s, is highly responsive,practices COVID19 etiquette, has a large network of credible contacts you can leverage given his experience, has an assistant who like him is organized and accommodating, and has an extremely informative and well-done YouTube channel with highly relevant content that is updated frequently. During house tours, we were impressed with his acumen on all things related to a home. We never felt pressure to put an offer on a house as he always let us lead. When we decided to submit an offer, he gathered intel for us quickly, provided his strategic input, was thorough, and made us feel comfortable with each step. The Seattle market is tough and his guidance was invaluable. For the home we ended up purchasing, he made sure we even felt supported during our fast closing, checking in to make sure things were going smoothly with our lender. He threw a special celebration when we got our keys, which we appreciated, by delivering lunch and giving us thoughtful housewarming gifts including a surprise for our kids. These little touches were very thoughtful. Overall, we’ve been spoiled by the high level of customer service Zach provided and give him our highest recommendation. We will 100% be using him in the future.

    "We recommend him very highly!"
    We are a recently retired couple moving back to Seattle after many years away. We found Andrew on the internet and met with him before we actually moved and found him to be personable, extremely informative and very helpful. So when we completed our move we began working with him. Andrew spent alot of time introducing us to areas that would likely be in our price range and explaining the situation to us as buyers in a very competitive market. He paid close attention to our reaction to houses and quickly had a good grasp of all the features we most wanted (or didn't want) in a home. This became invaluable as the weeks went by, as he could preview a home for us and let us know if he thought it fit our needs well enough for us to visit it ourselves. We ultimately bid on three different houses, and Andrew was excellent at making sure all the needed steps could be carried out within the very short time window to bid (around a week). He arranged for the inspections we required; walked us through the formalities of submitting a bid as well as the process owners went through to arrive at which bid was ultimately chosen; and made sure our bids were submitted in a timely way. He also kept us apprised of where we were in the process. Andrew's knowledge of home construction and maintenance was invaluable as we assessed to what degree repairs or upgrades might be needed on any particular property. He was able to guesstimate the cost of likely repairs, as well as to refer us to numerous contractors and other specialists once our bid was selected. Even after escrow closed, Andrew has been providing suggestions for contractors to get some of the needed work done on our new home. Andrew has been great to work with because he is straightforward about what he sees as a property's good qualities and flaws, as well as about what he thinks a home will likely sell for (all are substantially above the asking price in this crazy market). He has a great sense of humor and we felt comfortable with him right away. His manner is casual but he is completely professional in his work. He was always accessible and very responsive (esp. via text), and if he didn't have the answer to a question he immediately got the answer from the right source. All in all, our experience working with Andrew was very positive. We felt we were getting good guidance all along, that he listened to us and was able to steer us toward properties we would be most likely to seriously consider, and that he wanted us to find a house that we truly felt good about. We recommend him very highly!

    "It was really fun working with Gordon and I’d recommend him to anyone!"
    Working with Gordon and his team was fantastic! We were first-time home buyers so we needed some extra help along the way. He was more than willing to help answer whatever questions came up for us throughout the process and even months after closing. We bought a foreclosure which came with an additional set of complexities but he was there to help.Gordon and his team went the extra mile to help us place the winning bid on the house. He kept our expectations realistic and was always vocal about telling us what he felt the true value of a home was so that we wouldn’t overspend. As soon as we won the bid on our home he put us in touch with amazing contractors to help us expediently prepare the house to move in. It was really fun working with Gordon and I’d recommend him to anyone!

    "Never Did We Feel Pressured or Rushed!"
    Without Zach's knowledge and expertise we would not have been able to secure the home that we are in. We were able to get a quick escrow, with Zach's recommendations, and move in right as our currently living situation was coming to an end. The home buying experience didn't go as smooth as we would have liked but with Zach's negotiations we were able to make up the difference.He was on time, professional and well mannered. Never did we feel pressured or rushed and we will use him to purchased our next home.

    "He’s Wicked Smart and Fun and Cool!"
    We couldn’t imagine having a better or more knowledgeable realtor. Zach was great about helping us with every stage of the process. As first-time home buyers using the VA loan, we felt pretty out of our depth when we started the process. Zach walked us through each step, checked in with us regularly,and explained everything clearly. He answered so many questions with patience and understanding as we deliberated over our options and provided great additional resources for making home improvements once we closed on our home. Zach is THE agent you want on your team! We would recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home in the Greater Seattle Area. Plus, he's wicked smart and fun and cool!
