    "Working With Zach Suited Our Needs Wel"
    We reached out to Zach to help us find/buy a house based on recommendation from our mortgage broker. Working with Zach suited our needs well, he was able to adapt to our availability times and knew what points and levels we wanted to interact with an agent at (ie. not too involved in searching for open houses,but very helpful in giving us tips of what to look for, how to make an offer that gets accepted, organizing inspections and follow ups, etc.)

    "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!

    "The Sale Went Very Smoothly!"
    Zach was recommended by a friend and all in all, was great in helping us buy our first home. I really appreciated his attitude and understanding as we were looking. The sale went very smoothly and we are definitely happy with our home. We did find our home on our own and most of the listings that we were interested in was found by us,but Zach was great in scheduling showings and walking us through. I appreciated him sharing his opinions and knowledge of home features and pros/cons, thanks again.

    "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.

    "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.

    "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.

    "Recommending Zach to All Our Friends and Family!"
    Recommending Zach to all our friends and family! Purchased our dream home for under asking price and all within a speedy and smooth 21 day closing period. The home buying process couldn't have been any easier with Zach's knowledgeable advice and excellent communication throughout the entire process.Being first time home buyers, the process of purchasing seemed overwhelming and stressful. Zach was very patient and thorough when answering all our questions before beginning our home search. When touring, Zach was conveniently available to fit with our schedules and detail orienteded while reviewing each property. His ability to navigate this crazy Seattle market gave us peace of mind when deciding which homes were a good fit and worth our time pursuing. When our very first offer was accepted, he was professional and prompt communicating with all parties and was able to negotiation the price to a great deal. We are so excited to start this next chapter of being home owners and we have Zach to thank for making it possible!

    "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.

    "We Would Highly Recommend Zach!"
    We used Zach to help us buy our first home back in 2017. When we accepted a job opportunity out of state we immediately contacted Zach about helping us sell. From the start it was a great experience with Zach and his team helping us each step of the way.The photoshoot and promotion he had done for our place was beautiful and once we received offers he helped us negotiate for the best price we could get. He even helped set us up with a great realtor in our new city. We would highly recommend Zach to anyone who is looking to buy or sell in the Seattle area and will be using him again if we move back.

    "The Best Part Was His Responsiveness!"

    "Zach Was Extremely Helpful!"
    Zach was extremely helpful in our home search. We happened to meet Zach by chance, but in the end it worked out quite well for us. He possesses a lot of knowledge about the area which we were targeting for our home purchase (North Seattle), and after a few showings he got a very good idea of the kind of home we were looking for.That helped us a lot in narrowing down our choices. When we finally decided on our home, Zach moved pretty quickly with making a bid on the home, and completing the negotiation with the seller. Price wise, he was able to obtain a good deal for the home. He is extremely responsive, and answered all of our questions in the quickest possible manner. Even after we moved into our new home, he regularly checked in with us to make sure everything was going smoothly. He was very helpful during the whole transition process. We greatly appreciate his guidance in us going from being renters to homeowners. In terms of the purchase process, there were a couple of things which we felt could have gone better: 1. We had a tight closing date, which made it almost impossible for us to shop for the best loan options. We had no idea that there had been a slight change in the loan process in October, which made securing a loan slightly longer. We would have liked Zach to be cognizant of these changes, which would have helped us secure a better closing date. 2. The seller had agreed in the contract that he would pay the sewer capacity charges in full, and we were under the impression that we will get it in the form of a credit towards closing cost. However, later we came to know that the seller can only pay it directly to the county, and not to us. We would have expected Zach to know about this, especially since we were factoring in this money for closing costs.

    "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.

    "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 !

    "We Absolutely Loved Working With Him!"
    My wife and I are first-time homebuyers. We both knew Zach from college, and were so excited to work with a trusted friend throughout our first-ever home-buying experience! Zach went above and beyond each step of the way. He never hesitated to say "yes" when my wife and I stumbled upon one, two,or three houses that looked like winners, and quickly asked to go view them ("Drop everything - we have to see this one!"). On countless occasions, he offered up his time to meet us somewhere to chat during weekdays or weekends, call us to check-in or explain more of the complicated steps in the home-buying process, and email back after we'd ask close to 15,000 long and detailed questions (well, maybe not quite that many...). He provided an outstanding level of education to help us learn along the way - using his own videos to teach us things while we were at home or on the go - so that everything in the process was transparent and understandable. Zach never hid information from us, and approached each conversation with a genuine desire to see us make a wise decision - one that would be best for US. We were particularly impressed by Zach's expertise on the Greater Seattle area housing market (he's done a TON of research and knows his stuff!!!), and his understanding of what makes a winning home offer (he helped us bring our A-game to the table and succeed with our first and only offer!!!). Every one of his recommendations was solid, too, whether it was for a particular loan officer or home inspector, or for some things to be mindful of when viewing a house and how it's laid-out, constructed, or maintained. Bottom line: Zach is the man. We absolutely LOVED working with him. We felt so valued as his clients during the home-buying process, from start to finish. He inspired confidence each step of the way, and we couldn't have asked for a better or more ideal person to be on our team for this experience. We would relish the opportunity to recommend Zach to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the area, so they could have the same wonderful experience we did. Thanks again, 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 Would Highly Recommend Him!"
    "Zach McDonald was a positive partner with us in our home sale right from the beginning, and we needed that! Even though we knew the Seattle market was easy for sellers, we were relocating and that is never simple. We also knew that there was plenty of inventory to compete at the time when we  listed!But Zach's enthusiasm helped get us excited, and he was just a quick phone call away, whenever we needed him to answer questions, clarify, ect. When it came time to list, we were prepared, and amazed at how thorough he was. He posted our property on every app possible, even YouTube and Facebook! (His videographer rocks as well!) Finally, Zach gave us reasonable rather than inflated expectations about when and how our home would sell-I would highly recommend him!"

    "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!
