    "Working With Zach Was a Great Experience!"
    Working with Zach was a great experience! As first time home buyers Zach helped my wife and I through out the entire process and was always quick to answer our questions or concerns. He paid attention to what we like and has a great at sense for finding places that we were actually interested in,rather than just showing for showing's sake. Once we found a place we were interested in he helped us make a strong offer and put us in a position to be at the top of the sellers list of possibilities. We're really excited to settle down in our new place now and really couldn't have done it without Zach's help!

    "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.

    "Very Friendly and Sincere!"
    We told him what is our need and he showed us few houses but most houses were getting bid, so it is hard to buy. One day he showed us unlisted house and we really like that house. Not much hassle, we exchanged email few times and we got the house in very short period time. Everything was very smooth. He wasn’t push at all.Very friendly and sincere!

    "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!"

    "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 !

    "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 Absolutely Recommend Zach With Great Confidence!"
    We recently worked with Zach on the purchase of our first home in Lynnwood, he was recommended to us by our mortgage team. From the first meeting to the closing process Zach gave us very personal service and was there to answer each and every question that we had.The home buying process can be daunting for first timers but we always felt that we were in very capable hands working with Zach. Zach's philosophy is that home buyers should be educated on the home buying process so they can make the best decisions for themselves and he has tons of videos and resources on the subject. These resources were so valuable for myself and my husband and when it came time to make offers and negotiate we felt like we knew what we were doing and were able to find a home we loved and make a strong offer that was accepted very quickly. We had to do some negotiating once the inspection was completed due to some work that needed to be done on the house and Zach worked with us to make sure that we got the outcome we were looking for. Once the negotiations were completed, we were able to close on the house within 21 days and Zach was there with us very step of the way to make sure the process went smoothly. He has continued to check in with us even after closing to see how we're doing and if there is anything he can help with, this level of service goes above and beyond. We would absolutely recommend Zach with great confidence to anyone we knew who was looking to buy a house and will definitely be using him again if the need ever arises!

Zach and his team prioritized consistent and reliable communication, ensuring we felt supported throughout the entire process.

    My family moved to the Seattle area from the other side of the country recently and were impressed with Zach's professionalism. He immediately responded to my inquiry before moving.

His knowledge of the market and the sales process here in Washington was valuable to us,helping us navigate making an offer in this competitive market and referring us to mortgage lenders and other professionals.

    "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.

    "I Highly Recommend Zach!"
    Zach took the time to get to know us and our particular likes/dislikes for a future home. He sent us many home listings shortly after starting the process and he quickly adapted to our preferences as we ourselves were discovering them throughout the process. He is very proactive and driven in his home search and showings.We had 6 competing offers on our home, Zach had the experience and the knowledge to negotiate and tune our offer to be the best offer. We are greatly pleased with Zach's services and plan to utilize his skills for future home purchasing. Ultimately, we were and are very blessed to have Zach as a Real Estate agent and I would recommend him to anyone who is motivated to find and purchase a home.

    "We Were Very Happy With the Transaction!"
    Throughout the process, Zach gave us thoughtful and proactive advice. His suggested price point was spot on, and we greatly appreciated the weekly (and sometimes more frequent) updates on where things stood in the process, outstanding items, etc. In addition,it was great that Zach has a team of efficient and cost-effective contractors that can do repairs and follow up items that arise out of the home inspection. We were very happy with the transaction, and would whole-heartedly use him again. Thank you.

    "We Highly Recommend Him!"
    We worked with Zach to find our first house. We toured a number of houses between Seattle and Edmonds, and he was extremely helpful in keeping our expectations grounded in this aggressive market. At a few points in our journey, we were considering houses that needed some work,and Zach had knowledge to share on that subject as well. When we finally found the one, and Zach was a pro at arranging our offer, had all the suggestions for helping us be aggressive with our terms, and we won on our first offer with him! We highly recommend him!

    "It’s Really Great to Work With Zach!"
    It's really great to work with Zach. I can feel his passion for his job, which then leads to an outstanding customer service. He responded to all my questions quickly, even on Sunday, and gave informative answers. He broke down the complicated process of home buying to smaller steps that I could easily follow even I have no background.There is another point I really want to highlight. He always gave me his own opinions about the properties we looked at in an honest and critical way, but at the same time, he never persuaded nor dissuaded me to make any decisions. Not all agents can keep this boundary clear and comfortable, and Zach did an excellent job. I would highly recommend him if you are searching for a real estate agent, and I would like to work with him again if I want to buy a second place.

    "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!

    " I Was Impressed by His Professional, Friendly Approach!"
    Zach McDonald expertly guided me to my new home during a very hyper real estate market. From my first phone call with him, I was impressed by his professional, friendly approach. He helped me identify my needs and respected my financial constraints. He listened to my likes and dislikes and used the information to help narrow our search.Zach is knowledgeable and easily answered most of my questions. He promptly returned my calls and text messages. We looked at many houses before I settled on my new home, but the process was easy and enjoyable. I would definitely use Zach as my agent again, and I plan to recommend him to family and friends.

    "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.

    "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.
