    "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.

    "Highly Recommend!"
    We worked with Zach for about 4 months before finding a house. He and his team were always eager to help and quick to respond. They were always willing to get a house showing at the drop of a hat, and was willing to give actual recommendations on if a house was not worth the price or not.Highly recommend!

    "Zach Was Amazing to Work With!"
    Zach was amazing to work with when my Wife and I bought our first home in September 2017. He was quick to respond, answered all questions, and took care of anything we could possibly ask of him! We highly recommend him!

    "I Definitely Would Recommend Him to Others!"
    I found Zach on Zillow with all of the positive feedback. I did a lot of legwork myself in trying to figure out which unit that I am interested in. However, I was out of town and didn't have the time to visit the place. I called Zach and he offered to stop by the place to visit and walked through the place with me and my wife with Facetime.It was that extra touch and offer that helped us decide that he was the right guy to go with. From there, he provided good knowledge of information on what to expect (the crazy pricing in Seattle) and what to watch out for and even provide us recommendation on great Mortgage person. All went pretty smoothly and we were able to close our townhouse in less than 30 days. Zach was great at following up, every Tuesday and Friday with any updates or simply just saying hi. I appreciate his work ethic and knowledge of the area that made the whole process less stressful. I definitely would recommend him to others and will work with him again in the future.

    "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!

    "I Highly Recommend Zach and His Team!"
    Due to relocating for employment, myself and my family moved from Southern CA to Kirkland, WA Nov ‘21. We weren’t familiar with the area and we were nervous about purchasing a house. After doing some online research we were fortunate to find Zach McDonald to help us.Zach was so knowledgeable about the housing market and knew all the areas surrounding Seattle. We found a house and bought it under asking price. Fast forward to Jan ‘22, we decided that we were homesick and wanted to move back home. We contacted Zach McDonald and he immediately went into action. We had a list of dates for the stager, inspections and photos. Everything was so well organized by Zach and his team that we didn’t have to worry about a thing. The process was so easy and our house sold in 6 days after listing with multiple offers. I highly recommend Zach and his team!

    "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!

    "He Made Our Purchase Process as Easy and Simple as Possible!"
    We got the house and I will recommend Zach to others. I put 4/5 for few reasons: - punctuality - happened few times - many times I needed to ask rather simply being told about the details or shape of the house. Once asked I always got the right answer - presence - 100% decent and proper but lackswhen compared to some other agents you meet We got the house thanks to the idea Zach had and proposed to us. I was always happy with his knowledge and help. He made our purchase process as easy and simple as possible.

    "We Loved Working With Zach!"
    Working with Zach on our home sale was the best decision we made. His honest, straightforward approach to the listing process calmed our nerves in an otherwise unknown territory. Along the way, he shared tips and included us in his expertise of when to list and what to highlight—acting on proven results from prior experience.These were all contributing factors to an effortless sale. He was impressively responsive, would reply to our questions immediately, and checked-in with us before the close of each week. It was also very easy to relate to Zach and talk through the entire process. He approached us as friends, but handled things as a professional and paid keen attention to even the littlest detail. We loved working with Zach!

    Zach was amazing to work with. He not only guided us through the process, but he kept track of all the details as if we were his only clients even though that was far from the case. He listened and truly cared about finding us the right home!

    "We Would Definitely Work With Him Again!"
    Me and my fiance found Zach via online reviews on Zillow and it was one of our best decision. As first time buyers, we went back and forth multiple times for coupe of homes but Zach was very patient and walked us through pros and cons for each one of them.We had a multiple offer situation on the home we bought and Zach won us the offer without over bidding. We also went with the lender Zach suggested and the entire process went smoothly. Zach regularly followed up even after the closing to see how things were going. We would definitely work with him again in the future.

    "It Was Awesome to Work With Him!"
    Zach did a great job helping me purchase and sell my first home. The whole experience was easy and straight forward. His entire team was able to answer any question I had and his weekly check-ins to make sure everything was going well were very helpful. It was awesome to work with him

    "Zach Is Unique in a Great Way!"
    Zach is unique in a great way. I've worked with 2 real estate agents in the past with mixed results. Zach in comparison was available to answer questions throughout the process and I never felt I was on the back-burner. End result, I got a better deal than what I expected b/c of him. I'm not a fan of agents that sound more like sales trying to convince you a house is nice.Instead, Zach would let me draw my own conclusions about a property and be upfront when he thought something may be 'off'. Most important of all, it was his negotiating skills combined with his scheduling bids on needed work on the house that got me a good deal. You won't be disappointed when you choose to work with him.

    "I Have Full Confidence in Zach and Real Property Associates!"
    You should definitely ask Zach to help you sell your home. I have a couple of good friends that are agents but decided to list with Zach after meeting him and discussing my timing and goals. Right from the start Zach impressed me with his knowledge, experience, and enthusiasm for the project.Admittedly, I have pretty high expectations since I am a real estate attorney in Seattle. Zach did an excellent job marketing my house and everything was first rate. Zach easily earned his commission and put extra dollars in my pocket as well. I have full confidence in Zach and Real Property Associates.

    "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.

    "Zach Was Very Helpful at All Times!"
    Zach was very helpful at all times with his recommendations and advice in the process of placing our home on the market. He went through our home with us and gave us much insight into preparing our home to show well. Zach did a fantastic job in marketing our home with use of 3D video tour of our home as well as videography using a drone to highlight the outside of the property,and the several open houses which he personally handled. Zach is a consummate professional in the way he handles all the details. I would highly recommend and refer to Zach McDonald. Thank you, Zach.

    "Zach Provided a Fantastic Service!"
    Zach provided a fantastic service and I would not hesitate to use him again or refer him to family and friends looking for a house. The Seattle market is red hot at the moment so to get a house you need to find someone who will respect your direction and needs but also nudge you where you need to be nudged and figure out angles to land a property.And then when a hurdle arises you, as one did in my deal, you need someone to jump in and serve your interests to get a resolution. Zach is a great partner for you to have. Call him today !

    "I Would Recommend Him to Anyone!"
    When my husband and I decided we were ready to get serious about buying a house, we still didn't have an agent. We met Zach by chance at an open house. We had met quite a few real estate agents but Zach stood out. He's very down-to-earth and not pushy. He was great throughout the whole process,always responding quickly and taking care of all of the details. Even now that we have closed on our house, he's still answering our questions. I would recommend him to anyone.

    "I Was Quite Happy and Would Gladly Recommend Zach!"
    I was based in California throughout and house went only through basic cleanup/maintenance before being put up for sale so wasn't sure what to expect. In the end we went through several offers, three of which were accepted (one buyer pulled out at inspection stage,one buyer was not able to secure financing in spite of being pre-approved and final buyer for sale that went through). Throughout I was very happy with Zach as he guided me through the process, explaining all the intricacies and alternatives. When negotiation was needed, he would often suggest reasonable moves and counteroffers and provide context without being too pushy or hurried. I appreciated the balanced use of email/sms/phones to keep me informed and push things along. In the end house sold well above the asking price and the closing process was smooth. Overall I was quite happy and would gladly recommend Zach to my friends.

    "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 was extremely professional and helpful during our recent condo sale, esp in the handling of our rental tenants during early the selling activities, coordinating review of our competing offers, and providing status of on-going closing activities.

    "I Would More Than Highly Recommend Zach MCDONALD!"
    I would more than highly recommend Zach McDonald for anyone who is trying to sell a home. He truly went above and beyond for me, and for that I will be forever grateful. Never has selling a home been so stress free. He contacted me twice a week, or more for updates. If there was a problem,he would make certain it was taken care of immediately. I live out of state and thought this would be very painstaking, it was, indeed, the opposite, and I have never been so satisfied. This is the Realtor you want on your side! Hardworking and loyal to his customers! Thank you, again, Zach, for absolutely everything you did. You have no idea how much you helped me.
